Adopting the local flavor
by donny inlast week the jw who works for me was sitting in his van and i walked by and he motioned for me to come over.
he then proceeded to show me a collection of watchtowers he has from different countries/languages of one particular issue.
he had about 40 editions of the same one and he was showing me how the winesses adopt the local flavor on some of them if the society feels it's necessary.

Christendom - Who are members?
by donny ini was talking to a co-worker who is seventh day adventist and he mentioned the term christendom.
i asked him what he meant by that term and he said it was religions who claimed to follow christ but do not.

Try not to be personal in your rebuttal
by donny inplease folks, there are not that many real jw's on this site who express their opinion, so try not to be so negative against the poster as i sometimes read.
you can dispute what they say all you want and you should if you disagree, but we should not look as if it's something personal when we reply.. i know many have been hurt by the society and i myself am angry that i wasted my 20's and early 30's with this organization, but none of the "angry" taunts and comments i received then are what led me out.
what did was reasoning and logic and any who apply it and really think about it, will eventually come to their senses.. don.

Warning - Independent thinking alert - shut down all systems
by donny ini have a jw in my employ and he is overall a good person, but i am frequently reminded how controlled a jw mind is when it comes to reason.
i was in my office with my jw associate when another co-worker (cw) came in and they got into a discussion of bible versions.
it went like this.. cw - well i use the king james version most of the time.

Climate Change - Why are only the negative points presented?
by donny ini was reading some articles from the 1960's through the late 1970's where scientists were concerned about global cooling.
the articles talked about how the oceans would become more salty as the ice caps grew larger which would wipe out many types of marine life.
they also mentioned how this would lead to more cool/cold "high deserts" as there would be less water in the atmosphere for rain to develop from.

Has the "Faithful and Discreet Slave" correctly foretold anything?
by donny inone of the issues that really helped me open my eyes to the fallacy of the claims of the "faithful and discreet slave" class is that they have not been right on anything they said would happen in the future.
every instance of "new light" is simply a hindsight adjustment and their attempt to allign the beliefs with what actually is happening or already occurred.
when you examine all of their dates, and what was supposed to happen on them, as well as the generation of 1914 and the date of the sealing of the annointed, etc, etc, can you think of anything the f&ds has accurately foretold by means of "jehovahs" spirit.. don.
