Do you remember giving talks?
by klydia ini'm trying to remember the process for giving a talk.
i remember getting a slip with a topic on it, but what else was on that slip?

Suggestions for "The Internet" defense ... roadblock?
by gordon d inwanderer reminded me of an answer that i frequently get when confronting dubs with information obtained through the internet.
even if it's a scan of a wts publication, the typical dub seems to be well schooled in refusing to give any credibilty to anything that comes from a website other than watchtower.org.
has anyone had any luck finding more "credible" sources for info?

Thanksgiving ? Have you left the mind control?
by AK - Jeff inwe always did the 'family thing' on t-day, excusing our dinner in that manner.
many witnesses i knew did the same.. now, i proudly do it as thanksgiving dinner with all the trimmings and not one ounce of guilt.. this year i do it with a 7 foot fully lit xmas tree in the lr.
no guilt there either.. any still struggling with leftover jw holiday guilt syndrome?.

Should Uninvited D to D Work of Jehovah's Witnesses be against the Law?
by frankiespeakin ini agree that everyone should have the right to practice thier own religion, as long as it doesn't interfere with another person right to privacy and right to not be harassed in their own home by those who feel they have the better religion.. the door to door work of jws is harassment, when you consider that they call for the most part in the morning, univited to talk about why there religion is the right one and often have very bad things to say about other belief systems, which has the potential of disturbing the peace.

Worst Jw reasonings of all time
by drew sagan inwell, let's all pick out our favorite 'best of the worst'.
teaching found in the publications that just are on the total brink of absurdity.
my vote is in for this 'striking parallel' between the time peroid of jesus life and the 1914-1918 time peroid.

anyone feeling a wee bit guilty about celebrating Thanksgiving and Xmas??
by Star Moore ini was feeling a bit guilty about celebrating as this is my 1st year out and i know the history of all the holidays and birthdays are pagan or bloody or idolatrous.. .
but i was thinking that it's not what someone made them in the past but what they are right now.. to us, at this moment.
am i going to sit down on thanksgiving.. and say, "i hate those indians, think i'll go kill some"..????

Do JW's stay In the Organization to avoid embarassment?
by moshe ini just read this behavior study- called the asch study.
it seems to explain why jw's agree with obviously false wt teachings and ignore warnings inside the organization.
it is all to avoid embarassment from peers, friends and family.
