Do elders get selected because they buy a lot of literature?
by Madame Quixote ini was just wondering today about who buys the bulk of the lit from the jw org.
i got to thinking that the most jw literature i ever saw anywhere was in the kh book store/library, and in our house.
my dad became an elder when i was pretty young; i think it had something to do with all the lit he used to buy at the kh, but can't be sure.

Letting go of the black and white thinking...
by tall penguin ini think that this is the most difficult lesson in leaving the jw world.
the black and white thinking created such a neat little world where everything was so easily explained and categorized, provided you didn't mind living in a bubble.
i think the one area of black and white thinking that caused me the most difficulty and cognitive dissonance was the question of jehovah's will vs. satan's temptations.

Jehovah's Witnesses: All About Money
by joelbear in.
printing books and magazines over and over again that say basically the same thing.. my newest thought on this.. why not just put the watchtower in pdf format on their web site.
publishers could download as many copies as they need for their family for the study.. you could hold studies online.. no need to print literature anymore..

by Sentient inokay, i'd like to invite some comments about this, particulary from those of you who don't believe or follow what the wtbts teaches, yet on the other hand have made comments regarding the witnesses such as: .
"but if it makes you happy..." .
"...more power to you..." .

JWD WAS ABLE TO CONVINCE ME THE PARADISE WAS A MYTH BUT...
by stillAwitness inthe talk given today sounded pretty convincing.
facts were stated about how our body is designed to live forever (the brain, blood vessels etc) and how all these intricated details about the human body raises us to ask the question: "did not jehovah design us with the purpose of living forever?
now i've read the threads about how there just would not be enough room in the world for all those people.

'I love Jehovah'! What is that supposed to mean?
by Gill ini'd like someone to explain to me, why so many people come out with the phrase, 'i love jehovah'?.
what is it that they're meant to be loving?.
jehovah was a pretty nasty war god of the israelites.
