This is too funny. Gullible people, or course they'll jump on the first bandwagon when it comes to criticizing other religions but when it's their own.. That's something else.

You can still ride a bike without peddling fast, and you can always cruise on one- no need to peddle for a while if theres enough speed. Unless it's a fixed bike

The Last BOE!
by Atlantis inthis is the last boe we will be able to provide.
our informant or source, was caught, disfellowshipped, and thrown out of bethel.
we knew that sooner or later the watchtower would find him out.

Oh man, that must be tough. Imagine being a bethelite caught leaking inside information, I bet they gave him a really hard time, probably like what happened in the early 80's with the "witch hunts." At this point, those at headquarters might get paranoid again and start hatching things down. anyways, thanks to that bethelite and Atlantis, and anyone else who helped bring out important information, we appreciate it very much! Maybe we'll hear his story sometime.

A Dummy's Guide to the 'This generation' doctrine
by Honesty ina jehovah's witness explains the watchtower society's 'this generation' doctrine..... .
http://www.topix.com/forum/religion/jehovahs-witness/t3heh0tafiuk6f9t3.
what do you think about his explanation?.
-

A.proclaimer
Still doesn't make sense as already pointed out, the way the generation is being defined is too along. Aside from that, Jesus referred to the generation that was living in his time, that saw his ministry which according to the Bible, did not pass when Jerusalem was destroyed. It wouldn't make sense that the people who didn't see 1914, who weren't alive back then or just babies too young to even understand, to even be part of that significant event.

Ever feel like you were faking it as a JW when you weren't?
by punkofnice ini guess this is cognitive dissonance calling loud and clear!.
i remember being proud to be a jw yet at the same time i felt that i was just fooling myself.. i think this also applies to the stupid doctrines of the watchtower(r).......they made sense but at the same time they didn't.. i had secret self loathing for not being 'zealous(tm)' enough but on the other hand i didn't.. seems to me i had a separation of authentic persona from cult persona.. anyone else get this?.

That was me pretty much the whole time. Growing up as a JW it's the only thing you know so I always thought it was "the truth" and was glad (at times proud) I "had" it and knew more than others that weren't JWs, but at the same time I didn't have that 100% full interest. I just went along with all the teachings, believing in them. I also felt that I wasn't good enough in the congregation for not being the zealous, preacher type, with big spiritual goals, and that I should be like that, but I just didn't feel it.

Leaked New Light on how the society gets New Light
by EndofMysteries intalk at next years district convention, "be eager to partake of the baker's fresh bread".
some have inquired if the faithful and discreet slave are spirit directed and are truely getting new light, why does the new light change so often, as with the case of the understanding of the generations?
imagine a baker bakes a fresh batch of loaves of bread.

Wait, is this really coming from the Watchtower? Cause if so, their Kingdom Hall Libraries must be full of old stale, moldy, dangerous, apostate food, not to mention the CDROM.

Watchtower® and their education
by punkofnice inok. i'm a brit as some of you know.. what i noticed with the wbt$ is how they only seem to write from an american cultural standpoint.
not a bad thing if you're one of my cousins form the usa i admit........ but.... here in the uk there are some things that are meaningless to us.. eg hazing.
this was warned about in a study and over here we had no idea what it was and it kind of alienated the congregation from the study.

I never realized that the Watchtower doesnt have British English until I read this post. Really strange since other websites offer British English as an alternative and a lot of non-English speaking countries teach British English. It just makes it easier for them, rather than go back and change the spelling on certain words.

This reminded me of the time my aunt was in the hospital, no one really came to see her and her worldly husband noticed that. He was asking where the members of the congregation were since they say they are so loving? Really only the more popular or well known members get more attention. Like if the elder gets sick, there are big congregational arrangements made to help or go see him. Happened in my old congregation.
Very touchcing and sad story, thanks for sharing STADD.

Difference between WT selling property and "Christendom" selling property
by Jon Preston ini had this conversation with a jw relative.
he said when he was out in service one day the elder he was with came to a door of a minister who just purchased the churh in his area for ooooooh 12 mil maybe?
and the elder asked him how he liked being a commodity...bold.

How would he know that the money is returned to the organization? They could be using the money for other things, like paying victims of child abuse cases. NBC reported that they payed $781,250 for one person. Plus, in Southern California they're having memebers now pay for property and for building new kingdom halls out of their own pockets
