A question for you....
by Dia ini just got to wondering this, after reading the post by the girl who is thinking of joining the wts..... (this would be for those who became a jw by choice - not birth, tho of course, anyone here can comment).. i'm wondering, what kind of christian were you prior to your conversion to the wts?.
you can give your denomination if you choose.
but what i'm really asking about is what was your experience with religion, in general?.

"No one knows the date or time..."
by Dia inthe reason no one knows the date or time of 'the end' - and that no one needs to know - is because being a christian is about how you live!
right now and today.
not about protecting yourself from dying or figuring out unknowable things or making sure you sneak in under the wire.

Sanity
by Dia injust for the sake of clarification and because it seems to be a 'forbidden' topic in jw circles.... let's talk psychology and the definition of sanity and not sanity.. in 'life', by the loose (but accurate) definition of western medicine, 'sanity' is nothing more than this:.
"can you take care of yourself without hurting anyone else?".
beyond that, no one cares if you think the moon is made of green cheese or charles russel is playing the bongos in your pantry.. no one is mandated to step in and help you and no one can legally stop you, as long as...'you can take care of yourself without hurting anyone else'.. .

What If...
by Dia inwhat if everything that is done by and for the wts is done for the secrecy, protection and sake of a power-hungry, sexually perverse, women and child hating bunch of psychologically twisted men, the governing body?.
they are, after all, untouchable.
and kept safely in hiding.. it is at their behest and at their direction and with their knowledge that all of the horrible things we hear and know of, happen.

Are the R&F aware of the march?
by Dia inplease note, this is a different question than, 'how misguided or deceived are they?
feel free to answer them both, if you like, but i'm just wondering, do most witnesses know that something is happening this week?
or has the wts managed to keep them in the dark completely?

Likely scenariios...
by Dia in.
let's see.... * they'll either pay for the release or incite the slaughter of the philippine hostages just as the march is scheduled to occur and thereby 'one-up' silentlambs for jw media coverage on that day.. * they'll eventually change their policy somehow (probably placing all of guilt and all of the burden for reporting onto the government).
then they will take credit for the work of bill bowen and barbara anderson and all (afterall, they were jws) and use it to polish their wts apples and further promote their nonsense on an unsuspecting public.. grrr.......
