carbon dating
by DIM init seems that either my computer or my wt-cdrom is not working properly, othewise i wouldn't need to post this.....anyway my pioneer mother called here ranting about how a new discovery was made that will ruin the evolution theory as we know it today and she was saying how they used carbon dating - and in her words - "which we as jw's don't believe in, since the dates are very inaccurate".
i was curious as to whether or not the wts has ever used carbon dating to support any of their theories.....i seem to have it stuck in my head that they have done this several times.
any help would be appreciated.

DIM - 8 months out
by DIM inwell, its not like i post here too often, but i still occasionally browse through the various topics and catch up on what has been going on in the xjw world....after 8 months of not attending meetings i can honestly say i am much happier.
my perceptions and views of "apostates" and people who abhor the watchtower society has gradually changed too....at first i was all for all of the movements and stuff like that.
but now it seems almost its own cult to me, with all of its own catch phrases and "elite members".

Citizen Ruth
by DIM ini think this is an excellent movie.
the main character gets pregnant before marriage and then is caught in a struggle between extreme pro-lifers and extreme pro-choicers.
reminded me of those poor bible studies who get caught in the middle of extremely brainwashed jw's and extreme anti jw groups, each groups with their own agenda and propaganda.

Some Antis are just as bad as JW's
by DIM inspecifically i am talking about the "apostates" or antis who plaster cars or send people things in the mail with the truth about "the truth".
to me, this seems exactly like the jw's banging on doors on a saturday morning.
exactly the same thing, just from the other end.

30 Years a Watchtower Slave - DIM's thoughts
by DIM inon the back cover of the january, 2002 edition of this book appears this brief description:.
william j. schnell was a young man eager to serve god.
to him, the watchtower society appeared harmless, even valuable as a way to develop his faith and pass it on to others.
