What's Everyone's Favorite JW "Urban Legend?"
by Jaypeeto inmy personal favorite, popular in my area in 1982, was the story that little plastic "smurf" dolls were biting the ankles of hapless witness moms who had bought the demonic toys for their little children.
does everyone have a favorite laugh-out-loud jw urban legend?

COC in public libraries
by diamondiiz ini haven't researched this but do library have copies of this book?
did you ever look for coc or any other book in a local library when you were a believer or when you began to have doubts?
how hard is it to find this book in a public library?.

I was thinking of donating as well, the best thing for exposure would be if a library could host an ebook format, that would prevent the book from mysteriously disappearing!

Give us your vote on the Watch Tower's approach to domestic abuse!!
by cedars inas you may be aware, the feb 15th watchtower features an experience depicting a 'fairytale' scenario of a violent husband beating his wife, and then mending his ways once she starts to apply bible principles.
to my knowledge, this is the nineteenth experience of its kind to be published since 1958, and it betrays a disturbing track record of negligence on the part of the watch tower society in failing to properly and consistently deal with such a sensitive and life-or-death issue, which effects untold thousands of women.. the experience, page 29, paragraph 12, reads as follows:.
selma recalls a lesson she learned from the witness who studied with her.

It's worth remembering that it won't be discussed at Watchtower studies until April
Will need to make sure that coming in to the new year that the momentum keeps moving, especially bringing this back to the forefront in March so folks are primed with good information. I have kept a list of the people and organizations that I sent the information to and plan on sending a modified letter about three weeks prior to the study.....that is when I would love to get the information in the local papers.

Thanks so much cedars for keeping this out front for people to see.
Unfortunately much of what I sent out was anonymously done, but I keep scanning to see if there are any responses, or anyone I else I need to inform.

"Feeling sorry for yourself" about being hit by your husband is not Christian 2/15/12 WT Page 25 P 12
by yourmomma inhave anyone of you read, the absolutly jaw dropping paragraph in this article about a women who was hit by her husband?
its in page 25 of the 2/15/12 wt study edition (i read the dumbed down version).. .
if there was any question, that the watchtowers stance is for wives to simply take it when their husbands abuse them, this makes it crystal clear.. who the hell is scanning these things before they go to print?

Running a JW website without getting sued
by ekruks inhi guys, i want to setup a unique ex-jw/cult site, and i am wondering how you run this site without getting sued?
last thing i want is to have the stress of a court case that the jw volunteer-lawyers likely will win.
i'd like to keep a rather low profile.

I think the site that was shutdown provided access to a lot of current information that was still protected by copywrite.

(more than likely referring to me).. ''jehovah(tm) will judge.
he knows who will survive and be destroyed at armageddon.

I used to give the old "i don't judge or read hearts Jehovah does" as an answer when people would ask if i felt only JW in good standing would live thru the big A.
Have heard that one from the husband (elder) of the woman who is studying (gag) with my wife.

And I guess next week my wife will find out why she should not have married me. She should have chosen someone 'In the truth' or stayed single.....

it appears that only men in dress pants and women in skirts will survive.
So therefore I guess no more wearing of slacks for women or jeans and shorts for anyone, for no one knows when the end will be and one would not want to be dressed improperly to be able to make it through the big A.
