jw meetings and obedience to the society
by boy@crossroads inin what ways does each of the jw meetings play a part in instilling obedience to the mother organization?
or maybe put another way, how does each weekly jw meeting contribute to the overall jw mindset?.
this thought came to me whilst drifting in and out of the watchtower study this morning.. ministry school: helps jws strengthen their speaking skills for better defending their beliefs.

i know minimus has probably asked this question before, but after leaving the witnesses what did the real world become to you as opposed to the world the witnesses choose to see it as?

strange experience yesterday
by boy@crossroads inyesterday, i was in the public library looking at free minds and reading the posts.
after i'd finished reading on free minds i'd figured i'd go over to the magazine section to catch up on some current events.
as i got up to move to the other section the next person in line for computer use was a young mormon boy.

How many witness marriages would end in divorce
by boy@crossroads inwere it not for the witness view of marriage as an eternal bond how many witness couples would have gone their separate ways?
based on what i've personally seen i would say at least 75%.

scientology?
by boy@crossroads injust found this in the april issue of people magazine talking about religious views in hollywood.
there is an insert asking about scientology.
it says, "advocates of the church praise its literacy and drug recovery programs, though its reputation suffers because former members have called it a mind-controlling cult.

7th day psychos!!
by boy@crossroads intoday, saturday i figured i'd take a little run to the adventist church to see how similiar they are to the witnesses.
after talking with them i just had to run to the computer, asap.. after the service, people started walking out.
i felt like walking out too b/c there was a lot of old people and they were kind of cliqueish.
