Something funny I heard on Howard Stern
by TweetieBird ini was listening to howard stern this morning and robin mentioned that someone approached her with the watchtower.
she told the jw that she was not interested, he asked her if she had ever read the watchtower.
she said yes, he asked her what she thought about it and i loved her reply...she said that she thought that she never wanted to read another one.

If there's some good in the Watchtower, why leave it?
by AlmostAtheist inthe post about crisis of conscience in which the poster said he knows there's some bad in the watchtower (as brought out in coc), but there's some good in it too got me to wondering about people that stay for the good in it.. the united states makes some decisions as a country that i don't agree with, perhaps even object strongly to.
but i don't disavow my citizenship.
it's mostly a good place to live, so i stay.. if you want to live in a way that utterly conflicts with the watchtower -- homosexual, multiple sex partners, smoking, whatever -- then you have reason to leave.

are congregation revolving around mini-moguls or dynasties of elitist JW?
by cyborgVision inin your experience, did you ever see congregation being revolved around clan-like, all-influential families?.
i don't know about your experiences, but in my personal experience and basically wherever i went i've seen congregation being influenced by mini dynasties of elitist jw.
in fact their influence goes far beyond of what you'd normally consider "spirituality" and branches down to some absolutely bizarre issues such as what type of car you should drive, what brand of clothing is "christian", what sort of barbeque is appropriate, even what cereal you should not buy since it supports "babylon the great", etc.
