Think of the Witness TV could give
by VitoJW intelevision is the undisputed king of information.
hundreds of channels, hundreds of topics..... 24 hours a day 365 days a year.. yet instead of taking the "truth" to the masses over the worldwide tv airwaves, jw's ignore the mass media, prefering instead the door to door approach of the first century ce.
i have my ideas..... what are yours?

Finally a WT prophecy fulfilled?
by Marilyn inso what does the scripture "the love of the greater number will cool off" mean if it's not the big falling away from the wts in the last few years?
btw i don't remember the scriptural context but i have sometimes wondered about it - even though i'm a devout non-believer.. marilyn

The collapse of the WBTS? - I don't think so.
by dmouse indo we apostates fall into the same trap as jehovahs witnesses when it comes to blinding ourselves to the truth?.
how often have i confronted jws with overwhelming evidence that the so called signs of the times are simply not being fulfilled in our day only for them to bring up some barely relevant snippet of information, which, to them, shoots my argument down in flames?
it is incredible how jws can ignore the camel of evidence that contradicts what they believe and then exult over the gnat of evidence that supports their view.

Zebras (Awake! magazine Jan 2001)
by Duncan inwell, weve been in our new house now for almost two years, and we finally got our first visit from the witnesses, a couple of days ago.. two very nice middle-aged ladies stood on my doorstep, asking me would i accept their two magazines for free?
- they were old issues from january well, how could i refuse?.
its gods will that zebras are striped and thats the beginning and end of it.. for an educational magazine this is just a disgrace.. can you hear the voice of the great teacher in this?

Re-invention After DF'ing.
by Englishman inis being disfellowshipped the most awful thing that can happen to a person, or is it a golden opportunity for you to re-invent your life?.
it happened in reverse for me.
when i was dfd, i had deliberately initiated the proceedings by walking around the pitch at a district convention whilst accompanied by a dfd person.

Fangs for the memory; would you become a vampire?
by Abaddon innow, first off, there's no such thing.. but, let's imagine that we live in the same dimension as buffy (most of the guys and a few of the women start paying attention), or the anne rice novels, blade, whatever.. vampires are real.
god is distant and removed.
there is an epic, but drawn out and irresolvable struggle between good and evil.

God makes..
by Teirce ini'm reading hume, and am struck with the thought that... as jw kids we are taught that god makes the sun shine upon the righteous and evil, and that he makes the plants grow.. boy, what a way to cut off at the pass critical thinking, as early as frikin possible.. thank you.
