If this was leeds, i reckon i could get hold of a copy of the item. In my opinion, from what I've read on here regarding previous talks, it was definitely toned down..

Role Reversal: Placing 1969 Awake with JW's Manning the New Portable Literature Displays
by snapdragon4 inin recent weeks the jw’s here in the uk have been setting up their new portable watchtower literature displays in my local town square on a saturday morning.
as they hadn’t knocked on my door for at least five years, and consequently feeling somewhat neglected, i thought that i would pay them a visit instead.. .
the first thing i needed to do was arrange my literature.

Wow.
This is SO good, well done! I haven't manned one yet but I'd happily volunteer to if it meant there was a chance someone like you would come and help spread some cognitive dissonance with the wife! Can you come down to Yorkshire?!
Can we organise territory and have regular preaching to the cart occupiers? There must be plenty of us still in who could lead the locations locally....
It's a great way to get people thinking, and a LEGITIMATE way for us to talk to evil apostates! For people like me, mentally out, I'd love to be able to say to the missus "someone asked me on the ministry the other day..... (insert topic of choice)" to get her thinking and give me an excuse to do legitimate research, otherwise she'll just think I'm looking for negatives as she knows I'm a doubter..
I hope this is replicated far and wide, well done mister.

So I Went back to my old Kingdom Hall Today...
by cofty in...because it's now an art gallery.. it was really strange to have a look around the building and see what they have done with it.
a lot of the old kh features are still there.
they have kept the old platform, it gets used as a music venue on occasions.. i went up on the platform and faced the hall to bring back memories of the hundreds of times i stood there giving talks.. they have quite a few of the old chairs and the magazine/literature counter is still there but it has been moved beside the stage and painted.. all those huge windows have been restored and the place is full of light.. you can see a lot of pictures at their website, they have called it "the berwick watchtower".. the owner asked my wife and i if it was our first visit - hahaha.

I remember my first EVER awareness of the fact that there were people aligned against the WT was on holiday in Berwick..
I saw a notice in a window or on a noticeboard somewhere, I forget the actual message but it was something like "have you been hurt by JW's", or, "do you want to know the TRUTH about JW'S", I remember thinkingthat I couldn't believe there was anything anyone could possibly be upset about!!
Funny how it all comes around full circle.....

Hi Paul
thanks for posting this question, I don't know WHATTHEHECK I believe in anymore, and I gotta admit I'm a little girl when it comes to asking belief based questions since I've seen so many get shot down in flames here by those who believe in nothing anymore.
But if you hadn't posted this, I wouldn't have seen the excellent video highlighted by Cedars (thanks chappie), so Thanks!
I kinda understand what you mean though, IF you believe in a God, then it just doesn't make sense to believe he created earth to be equal parts beautiful and poohole.
I got nothing mate, but I share your confusion..

HOW to accept counsel and criticism from an Elder
by Terry inthere is a catch-22 that can trip you up at the local kingdom hall.. .
if you receive "counsel" from an elder about any behavior at all and you "resist" or question the counsel you can be accused of having a "spirit of rebellion".. .
so, you have to either shut up and comply (with even the most ludicrous and ill-founded suggestions) or answer back and be chastised and "marked".. .

Evolution is Crap, there I said it!
by Crazyguy inok i started another thread and every one jumped on me because i was trying to take the theory of evolution out of the mix and most here seem to believe in it so i will just say it.
the theory of major evolution is crap!
the theory is falling apart.

@amelia Ashton, that's the kindest response yet. There's no sense in verbally attacking someone for their opinion even if attacked.. Be reasonable and youre more likely to get an actual discussion going with someone who might LISTEN. Isn't that what this forum is for?
