Who wants to do a letter writing campaign to the borg?
by Jez inreading the amazing information about what a cult is, got me thinking....there are thousands of ppl here, why don't we do a letter writing campaign to the society, bombarding them with letters outlining things like the cult attachment to jw's, disfellowshipping, 1914, un, anything that we would like to see admitted or changed?
outline what changes we think would be useful and necessary.
we could then post the letters that they send back here to let others know how they reply.

I don't want to live forever on the earth
by Jez ini have come to the conclusion that i do not want to live forever.
tomorrow would never come, i would not do it because i could do it tomorrow, or tomorrow or tomorrow.

JW's are OBSESSED with numbers
by Jez ini went to church on sunday, for my daughter, with my daughter.. i noticed something, they don't count how many are there.
it got me remembering how jw's count count count count at meetings, then put it up on the back bulletin board, then at assemblys and announce it right away, how many went out in service.. more numbers=keeping track of bible studies, placements, family studies..... it goes on and on....why?
i think to guilt members into doing more, if it were all free choice then it would be our decision to come, go, go out in service, etc.

by Jez inmy ex is a devout jw and is very very sly in what he says to our 9 year old.
she went to the assembly with him this weekend and he made her stand over by the baptism and said, "that will be you someday won't it sweetheart.
