an observation...... recently someone asked "are we the most prolific exjw site on the net?
" from looking about and trawling around, i don't dispute that this site is the biggest, if not the most prolific.
(type in jw on a search and this site will appear) from an inactive point of view, i reckon despite the fact that there are some genuine people "hurting" here from past experiences, the majority of posts seem like some crusade against the wt and jws at whatever expense.

murder question for watchtower bible & tract society's ted jaracz
wisconsin: in the town of ogema:
two brothers, robert and benjamin moore, were shot to death august 30, 1995, and copies of an online police report show some believed perhaps a jw relative murdered them and early on allusion was made to the watchtower teaching that those who die before armageddon can be resurrected to live forever.
I just can't read this horrible stuff anymore.....
from another thread:where else does the media so vividly show females as equal .
when i read this, i had to wonder: is there something wrong with doing so?
portraying women as equals?
Interesting thoughts, everyone. Thanks.
i have read here in some posts that one of the new releases this year is a brochure, "look!
the beautiful country!
", containing maps.. when it was released, does anyone know if the speaker mentioned how much better the maps in the brochure were than "worldly maps"?.
Just another information control tool
Too true, Greven.
The more "information" the WTS provides its members, the less likely they will ever have to use, as someone else so aptly put it, "Babylon the Great's" libraries (or anything else, for that matter).
this morning i let my emotions run away with me and challenged my 20-year-old son into defending his loyalty to the watchtower shunning doctrine.
it was not good, im in no way proud of myself.
im sure he and my dub wife will likely mischaracterize it as an attack on god; anything said against the tower is always an attack on god.
I don' t have anything to add either, except my most sincere affection during a difficult time
for 3 months now i've had a work related project to write and complete, its due in this coming monday, and still i haven't even started it, i just can't seem to get my ass in gear ever with this sort of thing .
occasionaly i've looked over it, thought about what i'm gonna write,.......... then just shoved it to the back of my mind for another week.
all the time i've been getting more stressed as the deadlines been approaching.
I'm putting off answering this post
just thought i'd introduce myself, and i didnt see a spot for newbie introductions, so i hope it's ok to put this here.
anyhow, here i am!
HELLO, Tinkerbell!!!!!!
i have been in communication with an epicopalian priest through yahoo personals.
he lives in south kansas but comes to this area often.
i met him yesterday at barnes and noble.
No suggestions, but that was really low on his part....lower than low, in fact
BTW, how are you otherwise, precious?

Love,

this is my first post.. when i was still a witness myself, there were some perennial stories regarding 'famous' jehovahs witnesses or ex's.
does anyone know any truth or have any proof about the following: hank marvin, cliff richard and more importantly, the man who hit the gong in the 'rank' movies?.
if you have anyone of note you want to tell me about, i'd most appreciate it too.. cheers, rush.
