Help? What Can I Do? - a response
by Dogpatch ini am passing this on for your information, if you need to give advice (or need advice) for those getting involved in any way with the watchtower.
it is for christians and non-christians, so take what you will from it.
the jehovah's witnesses will want the kids raised as jehovah's witnesses and teach them all of the society's peculiar doctrines behind your back.

What does it take to become a Circut Overseer?
by frankiespeakin inwhat does it take to become a circuit overseer?.
the watchtower bible track society relies very heavily upon these men to make sure that they have a tight grip on each congregation.. the structure for control that the wt.
has in place needs it's eyes and ears to find out whether or not a congregation is following all the rules that the wt has laid out for it.

Death - the downside of having friends...
by LittleToe intoday i helped bury a friend, and in a few minutes i'll be leaving to attend the wake of another, who died yesterday.. i have less than a handful of friends from pre-exjw days (nothing new there - we're all in a similar boat, i'm sure), so my more recently acquired friends are precious to me.. for those that i count as friends (which obviously includes a number on this board), please let it be known that you are precious to me.. i've helped bury about six, during this last year (i hope that doesn't put anyone off from befriending me).
every one has been like a hammerblow .
regardless of beliefs, or lack thereof, death is still an enemy to the living and the dead (imho).. with that sombre note, i must away....

Fooled, Controlled, and Abused by the watchtower.
by frankiespeakin ini first got the "trufh" when i was 19. knowing little about the bible being a catholic, i was searching for god, and was too trusting and too naive to see that i was being brought under watchtower mind control.. for 29 years, i let the watchtower tell me how to think, tell me how to interpret scriptures, and that was painful for me, coming out of mind control, is an unpleasant experience, dealing with cognitive dissonance, having your whole life turned upside down,.
when i found out the watchtower is a false prophet, i warned my family the best i could.
and for that i was rewarded by the watchtower bible track society with disfellowshipment, with subsequent shunning by many close family members and close friends.. .

Yet another example of how silly the Bible is...
by Abaddon inokay, let's go along with the flood story for a moment, to the point where noah exits the ark.. here we have noah, with two of each animal and seven of the clean animals; maybe a few dozen animals that were not essential to the future survival of the species.. what does god do?.
tells noah he can eat animals now.. are you telling me an all-wise, all-knowing god isn't capable of better planning than that?
which strikes you as more likely?

A World Without Suffering Posted Model
by frankiespeakin ina world without suffering
let's make an imaginary model, a world without suffering.
the consequences would be far-reaching.. and for example if no one could ever injure anyone else, the would be murderers knife would turn to paper or his bullets to thin air.. or take for example the mountain climber, or steeplejack, or the playing child falling from a height, would float unharmed to the ground.. the reckless driver would never meet with disaster.
