  What Motivates You to Expose the "Truth About the Troof" to Active JW's?

  by imallgrowedup in

  while responding to another thread, i was thinking about how so many of us talk about trying to help "believing dubs" out from the clutches of the wt, while at the same time, it occurred to me that we probably all have different motivations for doing so.

  as for me, i am motivated to get my parents out because i think they have the right to know "the whole story" - not just the candy-coated version the wt espouses, so they can make better decisions about how they want to live the rest of their lives.

  right now the wt makes all their life decisions for them - including whether or not they should look at what the "other side" has to say about them.

  2. friends

  what would jws do if all the members of the governing body were assassinated?

  do you think they would have serious doubts that jehovah was truly with them?

  would the whole organization fall apart?

  Anybody hear about the new confidential letter sent to bodies of elders in

  by researcher in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  canada re the freedom of information act.

  when someone moves to a new congregation a letter of introduction is sent.

  usually the elders use this opportunity to list all the negative things about the person or family so they have a black cloud above them for years to come in their new hall.

  Were Most Of The Elders "On The Ball" In Your Congregation?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i think most of the elders relied on the "smart ones" to help them out.

  my experience was that there was probably 2 or 3 "sharp ones".

  the rest were dopey!

  A couple of questions about summer conventions (spinoff)

  by razorMind in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  being as i haven't been to a convention in years, i have a couple of questions:

  do they still come out with that list of special-jw-rate hotels at the service meeting for the summer conventions?

  also, i remember times when the list would be practically useless by the time my parents got home from that service meeting and started trying to make reservations.
