  Just got my copy of "Crisis of Conscience"

  1. jw
  2. friends

  after finishing "combatting cult mind control" i decided to move on to the next logical book.

  i've read the first 100 pages of "crisis of conscience" and it's gone by really fast.

  now i know why this book is so important.

  JW's as a cult

  by gloobster in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  one of the hardest things for me to admit, even more than a decade after having cut off witness ties as much as possible, was the possibility that they might be a cult.. i would always tell people that jw's had messed up ideas, that they screwed up people's families, etc., but a cult?

  surely i wasn't born into a cult.

  the following is one definition i found on the internet:.

  What Would You Like to Tell The Governing Body?

  by AK - Jeff in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  we assume that they or their dupes read this forum, or parts of it, right?

  address your comments to them.

  do so kindly, and respectfully, remembering that it is their religion, and they can run it like they like.

  Stevie Nicks -- witch?

  by gloobster in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  do the jw's still consider stevie nicks from fleetwood mac to be a pagan witch-type?

  i picked out the song "landslide" for my mother's funeral about a month ago, which most of my extended family, jw's one and all, attended.

  it didn't even cross my mind when i selected the song, my mom just had always liked it.

  Question for any electricians or DIY people - help appreciated

  by The Nothing Man in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  ok - i was doing some work on a circuit board (actually, it was a cd drive) and basically it all went badly wrong.

  i was trying to modify the circuit by soldering pins to the copper on the board, but before i did that i had to scrape away the protective layer on top.

  unfortunately, i scraped too hard and damaged the copper badly.

  by Satanus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  dispite their popularity, christians should rethink their stand on fridges.

  firstly, they used by jesus and first century christians.

  neither did god's chosen people of old use them.

  Bad Associations spoil useful habits. Are the JWs right? Scripturally?

  by Open mind in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  it has been interesting for me to learn the various ways that the jws twist the scriptures to fit their own dogma.

  (of course jws aren't alone in that, but that's another topic.

  ) two quick examples of jws not following or going beyond the bible are blood and birthdays.
