E-Watchman - where are all the Kingdom Hall mailboxes?
by truthseeker invery interesting.. maybe some of the current/former elders can shed some light on this.. .
back in the spring of 2004, e-watchman launched a massive mailing campaign of an open letter to jehovahs witnesses and the watchtower society; laying bare the facts regarding the watchtowers ten-year partnership with the united nations as an affiliated ngo.
with the help of a private printing and distribution company the letter was mailed to virtually every kingdom hall in the united states and canada, as well as some congregations in australia and great britain, amounting to over 7,000 letters.

Did you really want to have "Privileges"
by JH ini don't know about others here, but i couldn't care less about privileges.. i had a couple of privileges, but i really didn't want to get too deep in the org and get too many privileges.
i didn't want to get tied down with that, and have to leave 30 minutes later every meeting, or have to spend an extra hour or two preparing for something.. .
all that counted for me as a dub was "paradise" and "eternal life" .

A case of "Monkey see, Monkey do"?
by rockhound indoes any of this sound a little familiar?
from childhood the irish have been taught that every religion in the world is opposed to their religion, that theirs is the only one having divine right to exist, that all other religions are merely tolerated and that they continue through the benevolent sufferance of the catholic clergy.
they are taught that bible knowledge is not necessary for christians, only a strict adherence to and belief in the church and its religious leaders is all-important.

Were YOU a JW Who Was Always Afraid, Depressed or Ill?
by minimus inwhile i was an elder (in 2 congregations), over the years, i saw most witnesses that suffered from s o m e t h i n g.. either a witness had chronic depression, mysterious ailments that were never clearly diagnosed by a doctor, or were in fear.
afraid to offend another brother's conscience.,afraid to upset the elders.
afraid to grieve the holy spirit.

Today Is My Point of No Return - Or Is It?
by TheMan inalmost every night, i would get a phone call from my book study overseer, asking how i was, where i was.
whereas witnesses, when they experience hard times, stop going to meetings?
of course, my wife and i want to leave the witnesses, and i don't want to offend anyone in the process.
