Does the GB believe the doctrine themselves?
by GBSJG inafter reading crisis of conscience i got the impression that most on the gb actually believe all the doctrine themselves or at least that they believe that they are doing there best and god is helping/blessing them.. this sometimes seems unbelievable to me considering that they know about all the bad things in the org and see so many problems that the rank file normally does not notice or know about.
i'm currently reading combatting cult mind control by steve hassan.
when reading that book i can see that there are some cults that are far worse then the jws.

The Kingdom Hall meeting that's made the most new members . . .
by garybuss inmy mother became a witness after marrying my dad.
my wife's dad became a witness after marrying her mom.
if witnesses are looking for new members they'd almost certainly be better off with marriage contracts than door to door work, plus the marriage and baptism is a dual contract and in some countries like the usa, is enforced by a judge.

A truly whacked out scenario
by Jourles ini was just reading a news article and this jumped out at me for some reason(this isn't a political thread!):.
another traveler, khadija tawfek mouhsin, said his brother was killed last year en route to karbala, but that he was determined to make the journey.
"the terrorists give us the chance to go to paradise," the 39-year-old shiite pilgrim said.. my mind went to work on the word "paradise" and what we(exjw's) used to picture paradise as being.
