regarding the wts and their fear of the internet.
i just wanted to mention that the wts will probably come out with a cd-rom, something to supposedly help the jws study the bible, or some crap like that, but in reality, it will be a program to block the jws from accessing any anti-jws web site.
i know the church of scientology did it.

I KNOW THE CHURCH OF SCIENTOLOGY DID IT. SO THEY COULD DO IT TOO.

update on swarm:
most of you are aware that the wtbts owns stocks on at least three companies dedicated to provide rand cam engine technology to the u.s. navy.
the engine in question has been mounted on the spy plane previously known as swarm (smart war-fighter array of re-configurable modules).

when you say that the US went to war for oil, you sound like we want to steel it. That's not true! But you must realize that these natural resources, which keeps the world economy afloat, (it's a whole chain reaction), NEED to be protected from potential dangers like Hussain. Imagine what would happen if these resources were cut, how much more poverty can this world endure?
my 2 cents
let it not be said that we are only capable of bashing the watchtower society.. for once, let me point out how simple it would be for them to change into a more.
humane, tolerant and christian organization.. first, print some strong articles on voluntary service.
after a few months of emphasis.
If they do make the change, it would be done by the next generation of JWS, most likely not in our lifetime.
i have left the organization for many years now and i am very happy about it.
however, from time to time, i dream that i am out in service.
i don't want to be there and i think to myself, just walk away, go home, it's just that simple.
tazmaniac,
now that you mentioned it, I too dream sometimes that I'm at the meetings and that I'm not prepared for my part. Now THAT'S a scary feeling. Even when I was in the borg. I dreaded to be given a part, even when everyone said I was SO elocuent and stuff. I HATED IT.

I'M GLAD TO KNOW THAT I'M NOT ALONE, AND YES, IT IS THE WTS FAULT. IT GONNA HUNT ME FOREVER.

HELLO EVERYONE,
I HAVE LEFT THE ORGANIZATION FOR MANY YEARS NOW AND I AM VERY HAPPY ABOUT IT. HOWEVER, FROM TIME TO TIME, I DREAM THAT I AM OUT IN SERVICE. I DON'T WANT TO BE THERE AND I THINK TO MYSELF, JUST WALK AWAY, GO HOME, IT'S JUST THAT SIMPLE. IT'S REALLY LIKE A NIGHTMARE. DOES THESE KIND OF DREAMS HAPPEN TO ANYONE ELSE OUT THERE? WHY DO YOU THINK HAPPENS?

it seems like every service meeting they are suggesting we give toward one thing or another.
even printed in several of the watchtowers or awakes that it would be ok to leave all our belongings to the society in our will.
we can't give blood, but they sure are asking for it.
WHY DO THEY NEED MORE AND MORE AND MORE MONEY? IT MAKES NO DIFFERENCE HOW MUCH JW'S DONATE OR LEAVE THEM ON WILLS, THEY STILL RE-PRINT THE SAME OLD BULL.
FOR THAT MATTER HAVE EACH BROTHER AND SISTER INDIVIDUALLY MAKE COPIES OF OLDER BOOKS AND MAGAZINES AND HAVE THEM DISTRIBUTE THOSE. THAT WAY WE'D BE MORE INCLINED TO BELIEVE THEY ARE NOT IN IT FOR MONEY.
I PERSONALLY WOULDN'T HAVE LEFT THEM NOTHING. BUT WHAT I WOULD HAVE DONE IS LEAVE WHAT EVER LITTLE OR A LOT I HAD TO A POOR ELDERLY BRO OR SIS, OR A NEEDY FAMILY IN THE HALL.......JUST TO PISS THE WTS OFF.
I'm so sad to read these stories. Most of us out here are very strong. In my family there was one who should have been kicked out but he was not. HOW IRONIC!!!!!! THAT'S WHY I FREAKING HATE MY MOTHER.
I had a mother and a father, an older male sibling and my little sister. We were all in the org.My brother was evil to the core.He showed signs of hating the org. He even left it when he was a teenager. He wanted to do what he wanted. Did they kick him out? Nope! He molested me while growing up. Once he even tried to have sex with me. Thank God, naive and weak and all, I still had the courage to stand up to him and tell him NO!!!! I never told a soul about what he tried to do. I was really afraid of my brother. My parents never noticed anything unusual about his troubled behavior.....that's how stupid my parents were. But then I grew up and made my own way. One day, when my sister was about 18 yrs old, she confessed to me and my parents that my brother raped her when she was only five years old, the bastard was 17. Now, after my parents learned this horrible secret. Did they disowned him, report him, kick him out????? Take a wild guess???? NOPE!!!!!
Today, he's 40 something, still living in the same house with my mother, supposely a heavy duty JW. Now tell me about irony in life.
All of you who got kicked out were truly wonderfull human beings. God bless you.
May the bastard rot alive.
we were told that the brothers in mexico had been oppressed by the government, so that they could not sing or pray at meetings.
we were not told that the society had registered as a "cultural" organization because religious organizations were not allowed to own property in mexico.
as a "cultural" organization, the brothers were obliged to downplay the religious aspect.
Hello,
if I'm not mistaken, the problem in Mexico was that the government didn't allow religious organizations to OWN property. Can you imagine the society surrendering their belongings, in order for the brothers to excersice their religious primary right which is PUBLIC PRAYER????
That's just to show you the GB is not God's channel, otherwise Why would God NOT allow "his" people to pray to him, or sing to him????? Like Franz said in his book, even prophet Daniel risked his very own life in order to pray. Are the GB less than Daniel ???? If anything, they should have MORE understanding.
No doubt about it, we've been lied to.
