2005 - The year the Society began its decline (without anyone noticing)!
by cedars ini've just finished an article for randy over on freeminds.org, which i've submitted to him for review.
hopefully it should be online soon, so please keep checking!.
the article discusses the fact that the watch tower society is already in decline, and suggests the year 2005 as the turning point.

Life is in the blood?
by sinis inhowever, at conception (life) blood is not present until much later as the fetus developes.
blood is an organ.
now if "life" starts without blood, then is life really in blood?.

Better to reign in hell then serve in heaven
by usualusername inis there a tiny part of us who left the truth just because we were fed up of following rules?.
i know the truth/troof is not all it is cracked up to be but i have been a little bit of a rebel all my life and so rebelled.. .
did you leave partly to get more booze, sex, drugs and sex?

Male Domination = No Judge Deborah
by metatron ini had to laugh at today's watchtower, when it spoke of "judge barak".. it's this sort of thing that tells you that their "scholarship" is non-existent.
the record in judges clearly states that 'deborah was judging israel' - oh, and it repeats the point because 'israel came to her to be judged'.
..... brave barak told her he wasn't going into battle unless she went with him.. no judge deborah.

Indy I love you.... Wake up!
by anezthy ini was just watching the rerun of reruns of indiana jones and temple of doom.... as willie scott is being encaged (disfellowshipped) and sent to her firey doom (eternal death by jehovah), while indiana jones has this evil smirk on his face (gee.. i'm glad it's not me and it's her burning her ass).... the hero is short round... "indy.. i love you... wake up!
" then, short round sticks a burning torch into indy's stomach (would have worked for me) and indy wakes up and returns to being the hero (many, many friends who have woken up to reality are heros).
my favorite line: let's get out of here....all of us!!!

What has helped you avoid the doctrine roundabout and forever chasing your tail?
by Fernando ini was a third generation born-in with no alternative reality, reference points or framework.. for more than forty years i was taught that the highest stakes (eternal life) main game is played on the doctrine playing field (supremacist ethnocentrism).
my eternal future apparently depended on which side of the trinity, hellfire and immortal soul doctrines i played.. apparently if i believed the watchtower way, even if it changed, i was in "the faith" and "the truth".
the same for legalism (supremacist self-righteousness attained by following the supposedly "right" but ever changing and inconsistent rules).. around 6 years ago, and for the first time in my life, one person asked me to explain what "the gospel" is in one word.

Do JWs even mention the 'generation' teaching to new studies?
by lisaBObeesa inthe other thread got me to wondering if people who are studies ever even learn about the current generation teaching.. is the current generation teaching part of the book that is used with studies now?
