Give Examples of How JWs Try To "Demonize" Everything
by minimus inhere's an example......years ago if a jw wanted a heart transplant or a transplant of any kind, it was considered "cannibalism".
to "prove" that this was oh so wrong, they provided an article about a person who did get a new heart donated to them and suddenly they got the old personality of the donor.
the transplant changed everything about this man and he was no longer the same normal person.......and why??

If WTS said 1+1=3 would JW's accept it, would you have? (mind control ?)
by jwfacts ina phenomenon of cult mind control is that followers are not to qustion what the leaders say, regardless of how unrealistic or contary to human experience.
consider the following watchtower concepts that jws accept without question.
these are common concepts that any jw could (but does not) prove to be either wrong or straight out lies.. there was a huge increase in earthquakes in the 20th centuryjehovah will kill billions of people because he is a god of lovethe wts correctly foretold the events of 1914the watchtower never suggested 1975lions used to be vegetarian before the flood and will be in the new systemso if the watchtower wrote that 1+1=3 would you have believed it.

Why does the great crowd go to memorial?
by *jeremiah* in"do this in remembrance of me"...... ...those words jesus utters,..according to the wt,...is specifically for "the annointed",...right?.
if jesus at the last supper is speaking directly to "the annointed class",...that they should parttake and "do this in remembrance",...then why do the r & f even go to the memorial?.
looking at it through jw eyes,...jesus didn't invite members of "great crowd" to the last supper,...right?

Something creepy just happened here.........................
by Warlock inas some of you know, my office is a converted garage.
the day has been fairly still here, and all of a sudden the front door started shaking like someone was trying to open it, as if it was locked.
when i heard it start to shake i looked up and the door was moving as if someone was trying to get in.

For Women Only
by journey-on inhah!
you guys couldn't resist, uh?.......
but, really ladies, did the women's lib movement in the 70's (and later for you younger ones) affect your attitude toward the jw admonition to be in subjection to your husband?

WAR in IRAQ: Is this about Religion or Oil???
by Kudra inmy mom says that one of the reasons that the wtbts is the true religion (after i told her many things they were wrong about) is that: .
only they told of this "war between governments and religion" and she can see "things coming to a head" in recent years and that this proves so much that this war is just part of the "sign" that the society has always pointed to.
she gives as example also the strong conservative christian leanings of bush and his regime.
