i know dubs are a bit off, like many groups.
It's been my observations that most JW adults are way more excited and into the Caleb and Sofia nonsense than kids even.
They do the standard cult thing and ask you "isn't this great..." isn't it wonderful how..." ""isn't our org the best..." with a cracked smile that says inside I'm dying because of this so please agree with me to help me fight rational thought from coming through.

Caleb is going to make friends with Bart Simpson fall out of the truth and be an apostate at 10 for the rest of his life/cartoon career.
When they first came out with this madness my thought was this. This probably how every story came about in the bible. Just that a story to guide or indoctrinate kids. They probably stuck as true by mistake or maybe design. In 100 years from now dubs will be reading from the books of Caleb and sophia. Unable to distinguish story from reality.
i was doing some "research" and came across jw articles that all talk about 4026 b.c.e as adams creation.
it even went as far as to state, "there are no actual records of ancient man, his writing, agriculture, and other pursuits, extending into the past before 4026 b.c.e., the date of adams creation.
since the scriptures outline mans history from the very creation of the first human pair, there can be no such thing as prehistoric man.

Data-dog that part made me extremely uncomfortable as well. My wife most sense my utter discomfort and embarrassment by this organization.
This is not the religion I was raised in. It's dying an ugly death, a sort of wizard of oz don't look at the man behind the curtain distraction show.
I always had a fear in the back of my mind all these years, what if this was just another mainstream religion. Then blindly tell myself it couldn't be. Well... I am for $hit sure now that is indeed it is. Mainstream and crazy.

i would have to say that ray franz was the biggest influence for me.. when i first got on this board, a poster by the name of james, a former bethelite and organization heavy, helped me understand a lot of the inner workings in the upper echelons of the society.. .
and of course, farkel's common sense approach was (usually) helpful..
my mom called me yesterday to ask how i was doing.
i hadn't seen her in a while, so it was nice to hear her voice.
we went through the motions of jw small talk and then she started telling me about her co visit from last week.
science, biblical and anti-biblical, recognizes that there was a period of time in the distant past when the earth was barren.
how long ago and how long it lasted is a matter of conjecture...unless one accepts the biblical record.
but out in california, almost as far west as one can go, there stand beautiful monuments to the past-the redwoods: monuments that were seedlings when noah was laid to rest; saplings when the tower of babylon was deserted; stalwart young giants when david downed his giant.
i have noticed something even long before even looking into ttatt, something about morris bothered me.
i am personally very attuned to body language, facial expressions and general subtleties in human interaction.
there was something about his face that really bothered me, and i will explain it.
@vidiot Id like to think billy idols sneer was to the system. The man. The establishment
i would like to give my opinion of each gb member.
i would probably split them into 3 groups.. group 1 - the hardliners.
tony the 3rd: he knows exactly what hes's doing and saying.
I agree on Jackson. He is friendly. Has strong convictions with some good arguments or reasoning. To me before I got engrossed in seeing these guys too much he was the face and voice of the GB (to me), which was tolerable. Splain just seems odd. But tm3 seems to be the brawn of the group.
Jackson seems kind, and like a warm bible historian. I can appreciate those two things.
TM3 on the other hand seem like this "Jesus is my brother and he's gonna kick your ass!"
