a literary wasteland
by poor places inisn't it amazing how many pages the wts has printed about the bible over the years?
if bros and sisters neglected reading these publications and just focused on the bible, can you imagine how much more well-versed and enlightened everyone would be?
i think the isaiah's prophecy books are longer than the book of isaiah!

Is youth a time for anger and cults?
by gubberningbody ini'm 26 years older than i was when i got started as a jw.
i was a hurt and angry young man who wanted a world that was a better place, a place where it was ok to be ok and not the same.
i think maybe my anger and hurt helped to blind me from how angry and hurt everyone in the world really is and was and will be and perhaps this is one more reason the idea of a paradise following swiftly on the deaths of billions was not so much a trouble for my self-absorbed mind.. i wanted to believe and i convinced myself..

Highlights from Circuit (2 days) Assembly Be Afraid Very Afraid!!!
by tjlibre inthe content of the program presented at the circuit assembly: safeguard your spirituality served as a re-affirmation that the wt/gb is loosing the grip of rank & file.
they are becoming boulder and boulder in their blatant use of mind control techniques; in my opinion, their mind control techniques used to be more subtle.
but the content of the program in this past assembly clearly reflected that they are acting out of frustration and desperation.

"Everything happens for a reason."
by rebel8 inthis is not really a jw issue but rather a xian issue.. when i hear someone say that i feel a physical revulsion and aggravation similar to someone taking sandpaper directly to my spine.. as much as i know human nature...i am still really shocked anyone has the arrogance and stupidity to utter that sentiment.. i mean, ok, if you in your middle class/healthy/suffering-free life can conclude everything in your life happens for a reason, well i pity you...but doncha watch the news?.
the haiti tragedy?
new orleans?

has anyone ever met Ray Franz?
by poor places ini guess you would have to be kind of old school to have met the guy.
i've only met a current gb member before he joined.
he seemed nice.

how do they write new articles/talk outlines?
by poor places init really makes you wonder.
i mean, they're all pretty interchangeable, aren't they?
nobody would've guessed that today's special talk was new; it could've been replaced by about fifty other talks without anyone catching on.
