Why do Witnesses think they preach the "Good News"
by sabastious inthe "good news" is a heavy buzz term that any witness will need no elaboration to understand unquestionably.
it seems illogical, to me, for the witnesses to call their message the "good news.".
i used to go door to door with a message of "whatever you are doing right now is wrong and will get you killed unless you preach door to door like me.

Can you answer: What is "The Truth™"?
by serenitynow! ini mean can someone, preferably an active jw, explain in 5 sentences or less what that really means?.
i ask because of the long post that "20571..." made on another thread about how "the truth" is better than this, that and the other thing.. what does it really mean?.

Pagan Holidays........so what?
by Vachi 8 He Is inso i was thinking about how jws tie holidays to paganistic roots (birthdays, x-mas, halloween) and it got me to thinking about these holidays today as opposed to when they were introduced.
x-mas may have gotten its start in the catholic church and been all about jesus' birthday but it's a whole new breed of holiday today.
it ain't about jesus or his birthday; it's about gift giving and togetherness with family and friends.

what toys did you all ways want but couldnt have because you were a jw!
by warmasasunned ini was lucky not to be born into the jw's, so i had pretty much every toy i wanted .... actionman (g.i joe) with all the guns, tanks wonderful 2nd world war uniforms, toy soldiers cavalry, indians, cowboys, knights,castles and forts.. six million dollar man, lone ranger and tonto, toy cars matchbox captin scarlett, thunder birds, loads of guns to run around playing war.. great days.
(of course my sisters had dolls and prams, barbies cindys, play make up).
i know having spoken to jws born into it certain toys were of limits for some kids.. a good friend told me how he loved action man and played with them constantly, until one day he came home and saw them all by the door in a. card board box.. when he asked his mum what she was doing.. she told him "do you really think jehovah wants you to play war, you can keep one of them but he cant have any guns and fight people".

The GB tightening their grip! Straw to break a camel's back?
by punkofnice ini post on a couple of forums and read and lurk and all that stuff.. a theme that seems to be gaining momentum is about how the gb are 'tightening their grip' and 'becoming more cultish'.. i don't read the publications anymore and oddly i read extracts of them on the forums.. punk is babbling now.............sorry...................my questions are (sorry if they're a bit long.
sorry if i sound like satan: 'is it really so?
' but then i am a mentally diseased apostate).. 1. are the gb really tightening their grip or is it just the same as it ever was........but..........we just notice the propaganda more now we're out?.

JWs Not Allowed to Post on Websites?
by StandFirm inthis seems to be a favorite topic to bring up to any witnesses who post on any website where there are any opposers, either here or topix or anywhere.. so, here is the one and only place i will be discussing it.
who can prove that witnesses are specifically told not to post on websites about them?.

Interesting convo that never was meant to be.....
by Vachi 8 He Is inso, i'm being shanghied into going to this "special talk" dubs got going on tommorow.

"i'm not saying that's the only stance, i'm saying that this is something that they tell people over and over.".

Where is the website where..........?
by Vachi 8 He Is ini remember a website (teal background, simple set-up) that had an illustration of what you can expect when a dub visits you, as well as a number of informational things that the society would freak out about if they discovered dubs or people in general reading it.
if it was freeminds, it doesn't have the same layout, so i'm not sure if it was that.
does anyone know what webpage i'm talking about?
