Does anyone see the UN as having any power?
by free2beme ini remember growing up as a witness and thinking that the un was this great world power.
i remember hearing how it was part of this global plan of the end of days, and how jehovah would use it to fulfill prophecy.
now, i see the un as a giant waste of time and money and if it was disbanded tomorrow, i think it would be the best thing for the world.

The "generation" teaching - just to clarify!
by Beardo insorry to be a major pain in the ass - but could those " in the know " clear something up for me?.
is the " generation " teaching that was redefined during 1995 still taught to " interested ones " or have the wtbts totally removed this generation idea from their new literature, which is used to indoctrinate a person leading up to baptism?.
any enlightenment welcome.

Intellectual bullies- have you come across them?
by dido ini recently posted on a thread and couldn`t believe the amount of intellectual bullies on there.
i was a jw for 25 years, left school 35 years ago and they expected me to know all the info on evolution, and because i didn`t i`m `stupid`.
i prefer to believe in creation, but it is obviously too simple an explanation for them.

Coverup of true count of deaths in Iraq
by purplesofa inone of the first things my daughter told me when coming home from bootcamp was that she saw something that was shown in class by mistake about the actual deaths in iraq.
the instructor sugar coated it, but she knew it was something confidential and was shown in error.. so this comes out today, about there being more deaths than reported.
i am looking for what i thought i heard bush say......do we believe a report or do we believe our government.........something like that.. .

Fading: A Little Craziness Helps
by metatron inas you may know, i am a zealous advocate of using depression as a means of fading out of the organization.. let me add that a hint of craziness or mental illness can work wonders, too.
instead of shunning you, your witness.
relatives and "friends" may make quite an allowance for you, if you just keep your mouth shut about deep apostasy.. they may just feel sorry for you and leave you alone- at least, that's largely my experience.. remember that movie that said "love means never having to say you're sorry"?

Who's giving out candy this Halloween?
by Cognitive_Dissident inyeah, so this year, for the first time ever, ever, ever, my roommates and i are having a halloween party, and there will be much candy given out to the small army of children on our block who will no doubt be trick or treating.
i'm really looking forward to it.
has anyone ever thought of getting all costumed up on halloween and then hitting all of the elder's houses?
