Convention Drama creeps out JWs?
by ezekiel3 ini am getting news from jws who have attended the district convention that the drama (which is pre-recorded and played to lip-syncing actors) has a demon-possessed woman with a ?demonic voice?.
can anyone confirm this?
it is said to be pretty creepy sound effect and many jws are uncomfortable when they hear it.

"GROUP THINK": JWs defined
by ezekiel3 ina recent report from the us senant blasted the cia for "group think" regarding its faulty intelligence of iraq.
what struck me immediately is this is a perfect definition of jw's policy of control.
consider the following from the link shown below.

by ezekiel3 inmuch entertainment in the watchtower, 15 august 2004, pg 24. see the picture for the full text to learn that we can "put off every unecessary weight" by boxing up our "hobbies and non-essential personal projects.

Elder arrested for beating daughter
by ezekiel3 inelder david nesler was arrested in jackson california for striking his teen-age daughter (also a jw) in front of a high school.
he is currently released and an active jw member who is allowed to participate in meetings, although his status as an elder is unknown.. this was not alleged to be sexual abuse, but it does certainly call into question the discretion of this elder.
if this is what he does in public...?.

July 4th , the great JW holiday?
by ezekiel3 inall my life as a jw in the us, my parents shuttled us off to the fireworks, to sit among the worldlings and the waving flags to enjoy the show.
this was an almost universal practice with elders and pioneers as well.
as a child, i always noted that what we (jws) were doing was no different than how anyone else celebrated the 4th.

2004 District Convention Spoof Seekers
by ezekiel3 inbecause of slumping and catatonic attendance, jws have unveiled a new convention program to attract and entertain their 6 million devotees.
this summer's program will be held in themeparks, and unveil the ride borg assilimator (seen below).
here in north carolina, usa a day-pass will get you a normal 3-day program "download" via subliminal messages while you enjoy the thrills of the roller-coaster.

View from the inside: Other Christian churches
by ezekiel3 inthe following are common jw misconceptions about other christian churches.
interestingly, the opinions are never refuted and develop into "facts" that "prove" christendom (non-jw) is a joke.. 1) churches are too emotional.
how many fruits of the spirit are emotions?

What Do You Call Calling on a Do Not Call?
by ezekiel3 init is a little known policy outside jws that all you have to do to stop jws from coming to your door is to be put on the "do not call" list.
this is a record that is attached to the back of every territory card (a map section assigned to jw members) and carefully avoided by jws in future visits in your neighborhood.
to make sure that the list is valid and up-to-date, it is procedure for an elder (usually the service overseer) to call on these addresses at least once per year to verify that the resident still does not want visits.
