I was the visiting speaker years ago and for "hospitality" my wife and I were taken to Chinese food for lunch. The family was getting super uncomfortable about the fortune cookies on the table at the end of the meal.

We went right for the cookies and read the fortunes to each other. ( wife and I )
I may have stumbled them...

Exposing one's identity. When?

by kairos in

i've been toying with the idea of just coming out and posting my name and location as an attempt to be available to locals that secretly browse the forum that have known me for up to 25 years.

( "reaching out", so to speak ).

i'm not da'd or df'd, so this most certainly could end in a dramatic confrontation.

If I posted links to this site on utility poles near my old KH, maybe I could "start a study"... Pffffffft!!

What JW's are afraid of~

by kairos in

just putting together a mental list:.

jehovah .

jesus.

kairos

just thinking a big fear is "change".

I left right when all the internet/device stuff started becoming part of their worship. I don't think I could have handled that amount of change.

The change to overlapping generations is what caused me to become Awake!

I think I told that one elder that visited me a while back ( http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/topic/288882/surprise-elder-visit-today ) that if they tried to form a JC on my behalf I would create a local "media circus".

Talk me off the ledge?

JW Cart - Historical Photo - 1

by Esse quam videri in

with all the buzz about the jw public witnessing cart it has escaped the notice of all but the most studious researchers that the wt carts were actually started by pastor charles taze russell.

a careful examination of one of the most famous photographs of the 1906 san fransisco fire, caused by the preceding earthquake, reveals a wt cart.

further investigation brought the researchers attention to bible student sister myrtle jenson, shown on the left of the photograph, and facing away from the camera, looking down sacramento street.

The smurf on the sidewalk is not photoshopped, though...

JWFT has courage that some of us only wish we could muster.

I'll admit that when I first saw his channel, I was also put off... At first.

Listen to his story.

I find him super entertaining and totally get where he's coming from.

Maybe you aren't familiar with JWFT's channel...

I watched the entire video and it was flawless.

Those periods of "elder silence". That was the guy trying to reset his mind control.
"Deer in the headlights".
This was followed by, "write a letter".

As a legit caller that was was upset by "wrong conduct", he has a case.

"Escape from Paradise"

by zeb in

i have just finished reading brock talons second book (see above).

well worth the read.

terribly honest and humbling to read.

kairos

I'm enjoying the book. Right here on my desk!

The promo would have really perked my attention if the background music was a mysterious sounding rendition of a easily recognizable kingdom melody.

One of my favorite YouTube channels of all time.

JWFairyTale has what it takes!

He engages anyone he pleases and these ones are forced to think. Can you even imagine the conversations at the end of the day between the elders that fielded these calls.

Internet scores again!!
