No such thing as bad publicity
by DanTheMan inthe first rule of marketing is to keep your name in front of people.. the wt are skillful marketers.
if it weren't for the blood issue, shunning, neutrality, and unfulfilled armageddon dates, the wt would have disappeared into oblivion years ago.
take the 1975 issue for instance.

Identifying the Abusive System
by DanTheMan inthis is taken from chapter 5 of the book the subtle power of spiritual abuse :.
"the first characteristic of an abusive religious system is what we call power-posturing.
power-posturing simply means that leaders spend a lot of time focused on their own authority and reminding others of it, as well.

Who has the latest WT CD-Rom?
by DanTheMan ini don't, i only have the 1995. i am needing help in doing some research.
if someone would be so kind as to help me, i would be very grateful.. whoever has the cd, could they do a search of all publications and tell me how many hits they get on the following scriptures (not including the bible itself, just the mags, books, etc.).
psalm 37:29. john 3:16. john 17:3.

The Boss
by DanTheMan inwhile i was in the borg, i never knew anything about the personality dynamics within the gb.
the idea that it was "jehovah's organization" canceled any curiosity i had about the matter.. since i've become a full-blown evil apostate, my research has led me to believe that, just like any other governmental regime, there is a serious divide in the gb between the liberals and the conservatives.. it is also my understanding that one of the strongest and most influential personalities on the gb is ted jaracz.
and that his influence is a serious impediment to the much-needed reforms in the org.

Crisis of Conscience, p. 117
by DanTheMan ina great quote:.
to paint a foreboding picture of potential unrestrained wrongdoing on the part of the brothers simply because we, as a governing body, removed some existing regulation, appealed to me as saying that we suspected our brothers of lacking true love of righteousness, of inwardly wanting to sin and being held in check only by organizational regulations.
well, unfortunately, many in the borg do only regulate their behavior according to what is allowed and is not allowed.

fear of death
by DanTheMan inwhen i was a teenager, i got into heavy metal music in a big, big way.
black sabbath, iron maiden, and metallica were my faves, especially metallica.
i lived on their music, listening to their albums literally hundreds of times, often while under the influence of mood-altering substances.

Cal Lehman
by DanTheMan ini found an ex-jw website that stated that this person was an elder for 35 years and has an ex-jw support group in columbus ohio.
well, the link to his homepage brought nothing up, and the phone # listed is disconnected.
does anybody know cal personally, has he gone back to the borg?
