Does consciousness end with the death of the body
by givemejustalittlemoretime inapparently, the carvakas in anceint hinduism were materialists and skeptics, arguing that consciousness ends with the death of the body and that therefore we should take pleasure in this life while we possess it and practice compassion toward others.
they also argued that direct observation is the only certain way to know anything, and thus the existence of supernatural forces and realities cannot be established and must be rejected.

WTBTS continues to move to paperless
by pronomono induring my last meeting i was approached to see if i would be willing to switch to the electronic version of the km/watchtower.
i thought to myself "i'm way ahead of you here, buddy.
been doing it for almost a year.

Yes it seems that they are making a new business model that is excluding literature placements as a source of revenue, instead they are capitalizing on their free labor work force to build buildings(Kingdom halls and what not) and getting these ready for liquidation when funds are needed. I don't see this as a very effective model as compliance to Charity laws of different lands gets more restrictive and management compliance more involved and requireing audits, reporting conflict of interest impropriaties and whistle blower policies are implemented. It seems like the Watchtower is fighting a loosing battle for the Corporation's survival, and they can't make an honest buck otherwise.

Well I hope he got somethings off his chest. But other than that this recording isn't very alarming in the least.
That said I do hope some rather talented individual get some good recorded conversation on line with branches and headquartes as these can be very damaging. Right subject matter and cleverly done can really put thems on the horns of a dilema.

Can I just point out something obvious, how can we possibly know one way or the other?
Only if suspend critical thinking, and revert to huge leaps in logic, then you can "know".

PEER PRESSURE!!! I gave in to Pioneering during August...I feel dirty...
by stuckinarut2 inok, i'll admit it...i am weak.... as everyone knows, the pressure to "pioneer" during "the most momentous, awesome, amazing, centenary anniversay of jesus invisble kigdom rule, & distribute tracts about a dodgy website" campaign is very strong at the moment.... also, many will have read my threads about the extreme views and expectations in our cong for "all appointed men to pioneer" etc..... every elder and ms and their families have been announced as pioneering....i mean everyone's name was read out except mine..... i was not going to do it, as i do not believe anyone should be forced...(and of course its the last thing on earth i would rather do anyway since learning ttatt).
but i am not quite ready to make the break yet, so i realised that i would stand out more if i didnt put in a form to pioneer.
yes it would make me more conspicious, and make fading harder to do...it would bring more heat on me if i didnt pioneer.. so i gave in and submitted a form.... now, of course, i'm only going to make sure i'm seen at the key field service groups etc...but then go and do something more interesting...like count blades of grass..... ahh....i feel hypocritical to myself now......

Maybe a note in the tract to the householder telling them please don't share this with any other JW's because I'm being held hostage/forced into knocking on peoples doors peddling their propaganda by thier cruel disfelloshipping practices and will lose my entire family if caught. PS: this religion is full of shit. PSS: Don't tell the police because they can't help me in my desparate situation.

I'm begining to think that it's the time of the end(for the Watchtower Corporation cult) but not the end of the world that comes millions of years latter when this universe evaporates into 'nothing' from which it came.

Faith= beleif not based proof or without proof.
It takes faith to beleive in life/consciousness after death.

Make sure you take long coffee and donut breaks, place lots of free literature(in the garbage) and don't give the WT one red cent, and start your time early before actually going out by posting on JWN.
Fudge your hours and RV, and try to spread doubt to fellow door knockers in crafty ways so as not to get caught.
