My, my. This is fascinating. What does it take to get df'd for apostasy or smoking? It almost seems hard to get df'd for adultery! (Perhaps I should change that to difficult?)

Television Show Mentions Watchtower, USA
by Rosco ini watched the first 10 minutes of a television show here in the usa called the guardian a couple nights ago.
the show started with a scene of a girl in the hospital.
a man enters her room and it seems to be a friendly encounter between the two, he hands her a magazine.

MEETING ATTENDANCE SOARS and HALLS ARE FILLED TO CAPACITY! 2004 YB.
by Blueblades in.
2004 yb.page 23.. during the 2003 service year,2,340 kingdom halls were completed around the world.this represents an average of 195 halls per month,or just over 6 per day!since november 1999 when the construction program in lands with limited resources began,7,730 kingdom halls have been built.in many areas,once a hall is finished,meeting attendance soars and halls are soon filled to capacity.. my comment:this is nothing new.from the time of the dedication till the newness wears off this is usually the trend.halls filled to capacity does not indicate new converts.proof of this is when the memorial season comes around the halls usually are filled and then the very next meeting they are not filled to capacity.so,for one night meeting attendance soars then declines just as swiftly the next.. i am told that my hall which usually had a least 100 in attendance now has about 35 on school nights and 60 on sunday.what about your hall does it soar and is it filled to capacity?.

You ..ARE NOT.. a true christian, if you don't believe Jesus IS God!
by gumby inah........christianity at it's best!.
http://www.witnessinc.com.. if you go to this site above......you will see this is a site maintained by former jw duane magnani.. on his page of what the "true gospel" is.......and what a"true christian" is.......he plainly states that if you do not believe jesus is god himself.........you have nothing.
he even proves all his points by cherry picking known modern scholars who will back him up!

The part I have never been able to make any sense of is the central "he died for our sins" part. What???
However, when I think about it in terms of "this is the kind of universe we live in and we just have to accept it," then I can begin to understand people's adherance to doctrine. But then I can't understand the proselityzing. Well, I guess I can. You don't want to feel that you might have it wrong and be making all these sacrifices for nothing, so you want to bring others to acceptance of the truth, no matter how awful it is.
If I were a religious person, I think I would do best with the multi-god religions. Or at least any religion that didn't expect me to swallow that God is both all-loving and vengeful and petty as hell.
Be that as it may, Merry Christmas!
(I'm typing on someone else's computer--it is so nice to be able to format!)

Well, I think a lot of people find holidays stressful for lots of reasons. But it is great fun to be able to vicariously participate in your joy as you get into the spirit of the holidays and thoroughly enjoy yourselves! May you all have the Merriest of Christmases and the Happiest of New Year's!

Hidden Images in the JW Publications
by Hunyadi ini am a disfellowshipped brother and have never had a problem with the organization's doctrines.
i am, however, deeply disturbed at the undeniable use of hidden or subliminal images in the illustrations of the wt publications.
there are so many that it cannot be interpreted as anything other than a deliberate pattern.
