Do not believe everything you hear
by UnDisfellowshipped inthe bible encourages everyone not to believe everything they hear, but to get the facts first, and then make an informed decision as to what to believe:
all scriptures are from the new world translation:
1st john 4:1: beloved ones, do not believe every inspired expression, but test the inspired expressions to see whether they originate with god, because many false prophets have gone forth into the world.. acts 17:10-12: immediately by night the brothers sent both paul and silas out to beroe a, and these, upon arriving, went into the synagogue of the jews.

Evil Intent
by R.Crusoe ini love the creed of wicca which is to do as thou wilt but harm none!.
i was thinking if i did have 'evil intent' in my heart and wanted to get at somebody and make them suffer for most of their natural life i would gpo knocking on their door and persuade them to become a jw!.
it is guaranteed to cause all manner of silent conflicts and remove oneself from ones inner self!.

COULD KELLO LAW AFFECT JWS?
by badboy in.
the kello law(not sure if i have spelled it right,is a law that says land can be confisated either by private or public bodies if it leads to a substantial local tax advantage,something like that.. eg a public body might deceide that a rundown dockland should be redevoleped so that businesses that could pay valuable businneses taxes to the city authorities could move in.

Islamic Cleric Convicted of Stirring Hate
by FairMind in.
this was in today's ny times- london, feb. 7 a jury on tuesday convicted britain's most prominent radical muslim cleric of 11 charges of soliciting murder and racial hatred for using his sermons to encourage his followers to kill non-muslims.. this type of news is all to typical of what islam produces for "thinking" people to continue to ignore.
where do you think all this headed and how can it be stopped?

Higher Education / Double Speak
by FairMind inas we all know several years ago the wts seemingly changed their stance on one going on to college and furthering their education.
it was acknowledged that "times have changed" and the ability to secure employment at a living wage might actually require a college degree.
in any event going to college supposedly became a conscience matter and no one had the right to question a jw who made the decision to further his/her education.

Purporting to be witnesses...
by meat pie in.
i had a conversation with a friend who still goes to meetings, on the subject of websites of people pretending to be witnesses in order to draw witnesses away from the 'truth'.. i suggested she looks here.. i said she should ask herself why the wt would be trying to keep people away from information.i also talked about the u.n./wts thing.. so if you're looking, welcome , and i hope you are helped by this.. a hot meat pie.

Captives of a Concept Book
by FairMind inrecently on this website i learned of a book entitled "captives of a concept" and there was a link to a website where it could be purchased.
i purchased this book ($5.00 for a down load in pdf format) and have completed 128 of the 148 pages.
this is a fantastic book and i recommend it to all who want validation that the society is not god's organization.. the concept of course that holds all jw's captive is that those of the professed anointed (really the gb) comprise the faithful and discreet slave of jesus' illustration.

New change in abuse policy?
by XQsThaiPoes ina family member that is a elder told us that now two spousal abuse charges (filed with the police) is a dfing offense for the abuser, and that they are free to remarry (i assume he means the elders won't df the victim for adultry).
i assume this is local elder margin of your pa book eddicts.
because the watchtowers official stance has not changed.
