Green Bible/Black Bible...?
by Gill incan any one tell me what the 'significant differences' are between the old green bible and new black bible?.
having been a jw for almost forty years i never knew of a difference except that my mum is the only jw i know who still uses one.
is it possible that i could show her anything 'interesting'?

Can David beat Goliath again?
by Gill inthe wtbts is a huge multi million dollar industry.
we can't possible compare in its wealth.
yet i believe it is more than possible by pointing out just a few of the wtbts errors of doctrine and policy to bring down this legalistic, fanatical, organization.

Unique Stupidity
by Gill inas far as i'm aware, no other apocalytic group, in which i include seventh day adventists,born again christians, mormons etc cause as much controversys as the jw's.
i hadn't even realised that born again christians were apocalyptic until i was told by one that 'the end was coming' this week and the tsunami was an act of god to warn us.. so is it just shunning and harrassing people from door to door that makes the jws different?
or could it be their unique form of stupidity?

God's chosen people are always very bad...?
by Gill inif i remember the bible accounts of god's chosen people, the jews, they were always bad, disobedient and up to no good.
because of this they were alway being punished severely for their thoughts and actions.. since this is the case, could it be that the jws really are god's chosen people?
i've never met such a naughty lot!.

GB are reading out posts?
by Gill inrecently i was reading and writing posts of why lot would offer his daughters to the men of sodom and someone else was asking or commenting on why uzziah was killed for trying to stop the ark of c. from falling.
well, lo and behold, the feb 1st watchtower addresses both of these questions and suggests that we should not be questioning these events as god knows what he's doing?.
are you listening (or reading) gb or gb representatives.

The generation that saw the generation of 1914!
by Gill ini have been today hotly debating with my jw parents about the 1914 'problem' and how the generation that saw the signs will soon be dead and gone and 'then what you gonna do!
' said i all smug like.
i was then informed that 'the generation that will by no means pass away' now meant all of those that were born during the lifetime of those who saw the beginning of the signs in 1914!.

by Gill ini am a fortunate 'apostate'.
my parents are still speaking to me, regularly, and we also have been discussing jw doctrine.

In 2015....
by Gill inin only ten years the generation of 1914 will be well and truly gone so what then for those left still waiting for armageddon.
i'm thinking of friends and relatives here, and feeling sorry that they're wasting more time in the cult and that life's too short for that.
what's the chances of they're seeing sense in the near future?

Preaching Good News or a Warning Message...?
by Gill ini remember in the 90's articles and talks about the preaching work and that when the end was close the gb would know when it was time to begin preaching a warning message to the people that would mark them out once and for all before armageddon..so, are they still preaching good news or have they begun warning the natives yet?
