Leaving a legacy for future exJW generations
by ILoveTTATT ini just thought of something: considering that from 2013 onwards, it seems, there won't be a watchtower library cd, and everything will be online, and therefore every trace of "old light" can be deleted with the push of a button.... .
is there a way to download a copy of the entire jw.org webstite, and keep a "certified copy" somewhere, like archive.org?.
perhaps this can be done monthly or every quarter or something.... .

some friends familiar with wt gossip have told me that the decision to move out of ny was in part accelerated by the tragic events of 9/11.. my take on this is that decision to relocate was made a long time before, however they counter that a move was planned but not the total detachment that is occurring.. i wonder if anyone here has an opinion or information on this.. thanks.

Have you noticed the JW child who........?
by Phizzy inhave you seen the jw child who grows up to be the ideal product of the cult from its point of view, and presumably from its indoctrinated parent's point of view?.
that young person is a weirdo !!!.
i can think of a number like this, still a minority fortunately, in that most of the ones i watched grow up either left or did not embrace the thing anywhere near 100%.. but those one-hundred-percenter kids are something to behold !.

An Alternative To Atheism and Theism?
by metatron inhttp://www.scientificamerican.com/article.cfm?id=is-consciousness-universal.
i was stunned to see this article come from sciam.
i see it as largely consistent with my belief in pantheism.. i understand that some might quibble with my describing it as an alternative to atheism or theism, in regard to technical definitions of those terms but , at least, i see it as an alternative to what sort of thought is often associated with those words.. interesting stuff.

Why do the Governing Body do it ??
by Phizzy inwhen i was an active jw the constant demands for loyalty and obedience to the gb used to really annoy me, and mrs phizzy.. why on earth do they do it in such a shrill, screaming and obvious way ?.
they sound like spoilt kids, "you must play the game our way".. it was partly that constant harping that really helped me to wake up, i came to see just how much they had usurped the place of jesus.. surely it is counter-productive to do the demands as they do, loud and blatant.
they could get the same results with a seemingly humble attitude, after all, the new pope is the vicar of christ by title, but he comes over as humble..
