Do you tend to be a 'keeper' or a 'leaker' ?
by Gregor inof small confidences you have been brought in on.
do (did) you find it irresistable to pass on small tidbits when you have been asked to "keep it to yourself"?.
as in -- "don't say any thing, but...".

Jehovah's Disloyal Organization?
by metatron init needs to be said: the watchtower society is teaching its most involved adherents a powerful lesson in disloyalty.
it should be no surprize that the watchtower endlessly prates on about loyalty.
what has changed however, is the sudden sacrifice of bethelites and others to come in the pursuit of its greedy survival.

Calling Young Brothers to Bethel while Kicking Out the Loyal Ones
by Ultimate Reality inthis week marks the news of two "young" brothers i know being accepted to brooklyn bethel.. this pattern continues to demonstrate the current "human resources" policy of the current gb.
while telling those that have spent the best years of their life, "we need you in the field", they continue to bring in the healthy, unsuspecting young brothers so they can be used up with nothing to show for it late in life.. at last year's d.c. there was an interview with a brother that had been "sent back to the field" some 4 months prior to the convention.
what was so sad, is that the brother was clearly alone, and perhaps scared, in his new assignment in a remote rural area with a congregation of 40. he had been accepted to bethel after high school, never pioneered, and had been at bethel for 30 years!

Questioning me as an apostate
by God_Delusion ini am an active jw.
i was born in the "truth" (i really feel uncomfortable calling it that) and am now married to a witness.. for a year now, i have actually come to see that the gb are just business-psychologists.
anyone who views jehovah's witnesses as a religion and not a cult, really needs to evaluate their way of thinking and they also need to look up the definition of the word "cult".. anyway, my parents recently came over on holiday (they live in another country and are also residents of bethel).

How do you deal with labels?
by compound complex ingreetings, shirted/bloused friends:.
i just now decided to cut off the brand name/clothing-care information labels from my fave tee shirt.
no more embarrassing, wagging-tongue synthetic labels popping out and showing the community i cannot dress myself properly.. so, if you see someone's [friend, relative, stranger] labels flapping in the breeze, do you alert him/her to this sartorial faux pas or do you do a sleight-of-hand adjustment before they figure out what has happened?

Did The Witnesses Predict the United Nations in Advance?
by TD init's been reported on this forum that bethel speakers at this summer's conventions are asserting that the establishment of the united nations in 1945 was predicted in advance by the witnesses.
this is being presented as validation of the claim that the witnesses are god's one true organization directed by holy spirit.. .
the basis for this claim originates with a public address entitled, peace - can it last given by n.h. knorr at the new world theocratic assembly, on september 20 of 1942. .
