Over 160,000 Simply Left The "Truth" Last Year
by minimus inthat was the comment that a former elder made at the local meeting today in his comment.
evidently, he and his wife heard a bethel speaker's comment during his talk say that (i believe the figure was) 167,000 people did not get disfellowshipped but simply left.
the ex-elder made it a point to say that the elders should be watching to help out the flock before they up and leave.

Dumbing down of WT literature can be measured mathematically.
by hamsterbait inevery magazine on the news stand is very carefully aimed at a target market.. .
it has long been known that how information is presented makes a big difference to who will read it.
you will agree that the ny times or scientific american are more erudite than the national enquirer or the toronto star.. .

Is Christmas for fun?
by LittleToe ingiven that so many practises associated with christmas are blatantly christian in origin but christianity endorses spiritual self-flagellation/crucifixion, moderation, and enough "-isms" to make your eyes water, is christmas truly for fun?
i know that often there are few christian connotations attributed to it nowadays, in such a hedonistic and sensory society, but history is on record in showing that the whole baby jesus thing is definitely a christian element.
would any true hedonist today want to drink such a mixed cup (potentially of poor-grade wine)?

Naysayers and the "Big News"
by avishai inmany of us don't see the legal ramifications of this info., or even the importance of changing the blood doctrine.
915 people died in jonestown.
it's highly likely that as many, many of them children die per year as a result of this policy.. now, many have also lost heart about other cases, because there has'nt been much media attention lately, plus there was a post, or a message from bethel that stated that the wts won all the child molestation cases.

BIG NEWS is first domino to fall - no doctrine - just plain ole lies!
by wiegel inthis is the first time i have started a post here.
i have not been able to get the entire essay "jehovah's witnesses, blood transfusions, and the tort of misrepresentation" to read yet, but reading the excerpts alone has given me hope.
only a few weeks ago, a member of my family who is a witness said "if my husband and i had "a sliver of a doubt that this was the truth, we would be so outta here!
