No contact for 15 years? What could there possibly be to talk about after all that time? He'd probably have more in common with a telemarketer. I'm surprised he's returning the call. I'm surprised they even have your phone number.

You Aren't Good Enough to Spend Time With Us, But Your Money Is Just Fine
by Scully inam i the only one here who has non-jw and jw siblings who exclude you from "family" social events, but see nothing wrong with asking you to contribute a significant amount of money toward gifts for jw parents who instigate your exclusion from family social events?.
quite frankly, i'm pissed off about this most recent request and i'm planning on ignoring it.
why should i give $200 of my hard earned wages to people who won't permit me in their home or speak to me?

Hey Scully, haven't they tried to pull this crap with you before? You're probably too good to them. They don't seem to appreciate your "taking the high road."
In my book, family is family - either all of the time or none of the time. I don't allow any middle ground.

If I return my Product to Watch Tower, will they return my anonymous $25 donation that I made to them when I acquired it?
They tried to tell me I should donate $50.
I didn't give anything though.

13. Each edition of The Watchtower and Awake! is a compilation of original literary works and artistic works. Each compilation was created by Jehovah’s Witnesses pursuant to a contract of service, in the course of a religious vocation or divine calling, with Watch Tower of Pennsylvania. Pursuant to section 13(3) of the Copyright Act, Watch Tower of Pennsylvania is the first owner of all copyright in the Religious Works as “compilations”, within the meaning of s. 2 of the Copyright Act.
14. The literary and artistic works contained in each Religious Work were created by Jehovah’s Witnesses pursuant to a contract of service, in the course of a religious vocation or divine calling, with Watch Tower of Pennsylvania. Pursuant to section 13(3) of the Copyright Act, Watch Tower of Pennsylvania is the first owner of all copyright in the literary and artistic works contained in each Religious Works.
This is a bit off topic, but isn't their use of the phrase "divine calling" similar to claiming they're "inspired"?

A "Witness of Jehovah" who witnesses about his demerits is no less a "Witness of Jehovah".
It's all a matter of perspective.

Don't they have to define what "one of Jehovah's Witnesses" is / are?
Do they even have the legal right to define what "one of Jehovah's Witnesses" is / are?
I don't think so. These are words that are not owned or trademarked by the society.

Terry: GOD IS MADE IN MAN'S IMAGE.
That's a BIG lie!!!

I don't think god is made in man's image. The god of the bible is far more sadistic than most men.

How Does The Watchtower "Dumb Down" Jehovah's Witnesses?
by minimus in.
do you see how they take away individuality and the allowance of personal comments from the group?
what other ways do you see that they keep the witnesses "dumb"?

Everytime they pass a resolution of some sort, it's always 100% hands up.
It wasn't 100% in my hall. I didn't approve of many of the expenditures so chose to vote with my wallet. I stopped raising my hand for resolutions at the hall. Once I was asked about it, so I said I didn't feel right about raising my hand since I wasn't going to put any money in the box anyway.
About dumbing down the witnesses, much has been said about the watchtower's stand on education. I also remember many talks where the brother™ would suggest people should stop reading "worldly" newspapers, books, and magazines because these take them away from reading the watchtower and awake cover to cover.

You are a pathetic bunch of fakes who have abused people for far too long.
They're fakes, all right. But in this case they've shown what they're really after. Money and control.
They complain about their writings being placed on the internet - the same writings they freely distribute themselves. If they were really concerned about their "preaching work" that they claim is so urgent they would be glad that someone is making this "spiritual food" available to all.
