Does the WTBTS publish DA statistics?
by Pwned ini was just wondering what the statistics are since around 2000 when the internet really took hold.
i know when i was going to meetings 1977-1995 da announcements were almost unheard of and from the anecdotal evidence from this site it seems like it is commonplace.
would most of you who still actually attend feel that there has been a significant increase in da in the last 5-10 years or was my congregation back in the day just weird?

Living Church of God's Gunman
by professor inlast week, a few miles from me, one terry ratzmann opened fire at his church meeting, killing seven people, and leaving many questions.. upon investigating this sect, i found striking similarities between this movement, "the living church of god", and the witnesses.
i have linked to a story in the milwaukee journal/sentilal outlining their creed.. -the group's rules and practices discourage dating and marriage with non-members.
-prefer women wear modest attire and be subservient to their husbands.

Your JW Family: Reason With or `Live' With ?
by Jodo inpersonally, i've kept my thoughts on the "religion" to myself since i faded for fear of shunning.
now i'm starting to turn the other way and am considering taking some risks by talking doctrinal issues when occasions arise, but limiting myself to commenting on matters only on their instigation.
to me at least, that seems less confrontational......and most witnesses can't resist trying to encourage family members back to the fold, which means plenty of opportunities present themselves anyway.. what about you?

More offensive Dubbie twaddle...
by Abaddon ini stayed at my parents this weekend, as i was over in the uk seeing my kids and rather than stay in exteer as i normally do i did a day return.
sunday morning over breakfast, before they went off to the meeting and i went back to holland, my dad mentioned the wt article.. apparently it was about loy, and how about the new light is that, rather than being a sick sick man who wanted to give his virgin daughters to a gay rape gang (i always did wonder about that one... daughters.... gay rape gang), he was simply playing for time and waiting for god to do something.. i find it hard to believe that even the watchtower would be quite so stupid, but there you go.. funny thing was my parents reaction when i responded.
i was a bit offended by the twaddle but thought i'd go in sideways rather than with my arms swinging, so i said "i think it is very unwise for us today to interpret the actions of a bronze-age pastoralist".

Hotel lists and the internet
by Pwned in.
do they even bother with those stupid lists anymore now that people can probably find much better on hotwire.com, priceline, etc?.
i remember the rush to the lists when they were posted and my dad (elder) was a good dub and never called to make reservations until the list had been posted.
