Creative House-to-House Time Wasting Manuevers
by Black Man inanyone here master the art of pressing in the doorbell without really pressing it?
how about knocking where it seems loud on the outside, but you know it can't be heard on the inside.
or standing at a door for up to 5 minutes when you know nobody was there.

2 Witnesses
by viewaskew ini'm still technically an unbaptised publisher... i'm glad i came to my recent revelations before baptism.
anyway, basically i was stumbled by recent events in our hall... a respected pioneer sister tried to seduce my sister-in-law's husband.
and when that didn't work she went after another friend's husband.

Does the wt literature support lying?
by Check_Your_Premises in.
just a quick question.
i have heard it alluded to before that jw's think it is ok to omit, or to feign ignorance, or even lie when "theocratic warfare" is at stake.. if so, can you give citations of examples where they condone giving less than "the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth".

A good question to ask jws, and an important realization for me.
by Check_Your_Premises inone of the things that i could never rationalize is the way the jws all claim to believe the same things.
i mean seriously, you can't get 4 people to decide on dinner!
how are you going to get 6 million to agree on countless and everchanging doctrinal pronouncements.

A very disarming question you can ask jw's as an "unbelieving mate"
by Check_Your_Premises inmy wife got dunked, so i am an "unbelieving mate" (ubm).
however that name does offend me.
i do believe in god, and i am deeply grateful for christ's sacrifice.

The Concept That Holds Jehovah's Witnesses Captive.
by Blueblades init isn't what jehovah's witnesses believe about the bible that has made them captives of a concept.
it is what they believe about the watchtower society that has done it.. there are two things that are necessary to compare.. 1) the society's interpretation of matthew 24:45--47, the most important scripture in watchtower theology.. with.
2) watchtower history as it relates to their interpretation of matthew 24:45--47, the most important event in watchtower history, 1919 jesus's appointment of them as god's organization.. from don cameron's book, "captives of a concept".. if you haven't read it yet, it's right up there with 'crises of conscience'.if you have loved ones that you want to help get out of this organization, this book is the key.. blueblades

Would the W.T. be open for massive lawsuits if they changed blood policy?
by hubert ini was just thinking of this, because of my last post topic.
if the watchtower changed their no blood policy to accepting whole blood, would and could that .
open the flood gates for law suits from jdubs that sacrificed their children for the tower, or would .

Calling all "unbelieving mates", AKA husbands and wives of cult members
by Check_Your_Premises inhey all.
any who have been reading my recent posts, know that they chronicle my unsuccesful attempts to prevent my wife's baptism.. it is unfortunate and clear to me that there is nothing i can do untill i really understand the problem.
i am currently reading steven hassan's, releasing the bonds.
