Not lazy.......smart. Make a statement, show any kind of physical evidence and they will believe it! Remember. .......you're not allowed to research outside of the WT......and now you're not supposed to look at old or past WT's or books.....only newest ones for the "brightest light". Its perfect! Believe without question what we say now and disregard anything have said or anything you find!

Major goof in the Sept 1 WT article on Babel and the origin of languages
by marmot injust wanted to point out something that another poster brought up in the thread on the agm rumours, the writing department included a photo of a cuneiform tablet in their article on the origin of languages with a caption that states it is from 3000 bc.
this would pre-date the global flood myth and the fanciful tower of babel story altogether, hah!.

Kingdom Hall in Chile has National flag!!
by wolfman85 inin the spanish website extj one forum user shows evidence that on the 18th and 19th of september in chile the government calls to honor the nation displaying the national flag everywhere.

Not really shocking or surprising. ..... remember, the hardcore stand on voting has changed....yo keep the peace or avoid trouble. That stand would have saved lives in Malawi, but I digress. .... it's just another example of the new GB changing policy. The once hardline stance is now very fluid......

Who else is watching the new show "Sleepy Hollow"? The series premiere is on right now. In the first few minutes of the show.......it show a road leading into the small town. As the town gets close, there is a "Entering Sleepy Hollow" sign....with the population......which was...you guessed it.. 144,000. LMAO.........got me wondering if someone on the writing is an ex-JW......

I told my mother to stop contacting me
by kyria inafter two months of terribly abusive emails from my mother telling me that i "am not capable of appreciating true love" and her weird delusions that i have no friends and my life is a mess, i finally cut her off.
i blocked her email address, and i told her to stop contacting me.

I'm pretty sure it's the same person. I just watched a video of her talking about the book: http://blip.tv/grittv/grittv-i-m-perfect-you-re-doomed-kyria-abrahams-2800631
Looks like the same person in the board avatar. Looks like a great great book!! Love seeing people getting out, being happy, being successful and more importantly...being at peace. Wish I coud find that peace.......

Mass Disfellowshippings of Inactive Ones
by bytheirworks inthe word out of bethel is of a mass purge the likes of the 1980's.. there's also possible public reproofs handed out for irregular ones.. .
the scriptures they are using to support this:.
the very ones keeping away from you will perish.

I've thought about this allot....and I go back and forth. On one hand, they wouldn't dare do a sweeping move like that. Their numbers would fall way way too much. BUT.....on the other hand, it would not surprise me. What have we always heard beaten into us from the stage? The service work it what makes them a "witness", it's a corner stone and a identifing sign of being a JW. So.....if you're not putting in hours over a period of time......you are not a true witness andcertainly not a JW. I know ALLOT of them....many of them in my family....and they beat on me, on that point. So....again....would not surprise me at all if they ever came down with something like that.

Are JWs more negative than normal people?
by Julia Orwell incompare a typical conversation with a jw to one with a random non-jw:.

No doubt!! Gotta remember.......it's beaten into them...how evil and wicked "this old world" is and how badly we need the "new system". When you are taught from day one how bad things are....and knowing deep down inside, the "new order" is a pipe dream...a carrot hang in front of them to keep them going.......that's gotta have a HUGE affect on a person's mental state.

So Jw's are allowed to celebrate baby showers, but not birthdays?? huh??
by nolongerconfused inperhaps, one of the most arrogant and contradicting behaviors of jdubs.... what is the difference between celebrating a baby shower and a birthday?...they both have ancient origins, from pagan people, including egyptians and the greek.... have you guys noticed any other hypocrite celebrations/behaviors jdubs engage in?.

I love throwing a wrench into things........are birthdays wrong? I mean they tell us they are......but here is a capture from the "secret" Elders book, from the section "Offences That Require a Judicial Committee:
What's interesting is that the only mention of holidays is under the "Apostasy" heading. BUT, birthdays are not a "religious" holiday......so technically, you could fight it and show from their OWN book........show where birthdays are bad??
