i have recently joined the site.

i was just appointed an elder this summer.

i started discovering the ttatt (the truth about the truth) last year after putting a few things together myself concerning the leadership and then doing some research online.. i really enjoyed jwfacts.com, jwsurvey, and others.

Did you ever volunteer at or visit Bethel? What were your impressions when you were in the WBTS vs. now (looking back)?

did you ever volunteer/visit bethel back when you were in the borg?

at the time, it opended my eyes as i saw a lot of red flags.

for instance, volunteers were kept so busy without reasonable accomodations that everyone became in a robotic-zombie state of compliance with an unreasonably strict fast pased schedule.

Do you have any "one-liners" for drive-by witnessing?
by Faithful Witness in

i am looking for things i can say in passing, when i meet some of my jw friends.

we used to attend meetings, but have not been officially recognized yet, as apostates.

we were good and curious students, but fell away and were choked out by weeds.. since i will be renewing my bible student status soon, i am hoping this will open more windows into the organization.

New Flock Book - Child Abusers NOT excluded from serving again
by allelsefails in
1. watchtower
2. child-abuse
"shepherd the flock" book - page 38 - chapter 3 par.20 ........ (talking about disqualifying servants and elders) 20. if the sin occurred before he was appointed as an elder or a ministerial servant, the elders will need to take into consideration the fact that he should have mentioned this possible impediment to his being qualified when elders interviewed him just prior to announcing his appointment.

moreover, the nature of the sin may reflect greatly on his qualifications to serve.

for example, the sin may involve past child abuse, and this would likely disqualify him for many years.-w97 1/1 pp.

A Different View of "Peace and Security"
by Bobcat in
1. watchtower
2. bible
since the wt this week has the prediction of a "peace and security" event, i thought i would include a comment from the new american commentary (nac, d. michael martin, pp.159-60) on 1 thessalonians 5:2, 3.. here is the wt's position, according to this week's wt study (sep 2012 study edition, pp.3 4):.

1 th 5:2, 3 is a "future development.".

it happens "just before that day of jehovah.".
