Code Words for Fade Mode?
by SophieG inthere has got to be some kind of code word system to find out if someone you know is in "fade mode"!
lol!!!
what do you do when you suspect a jw is on the way out?...you may notice that they don't talk about meetings or service on social media...they don't even list jw as their religion.

Is Wikipedia turning pro-Watchtower?
by cedars ini was doing some research and stumbled upon the following two wikipedia articles, both of which (at first glance) appear to be mostly pro-watchtower.. take a look for yourself.... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/persecution_of_jehovah%27s_witnesses.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/jehovah%27s_witnesses%27_handling_of_child_sex_abuse.
the persecution article seemingly attempts to portray jws as unfairly persecuted.

Why you love America
by jamesmahon init struck me, as i guess it has a lot of people, that there are so many threads from both americans and the rest of us that seem to descend into america bashing.
i thought it might be quite nice to have a thread solely (and i mean solely - if this just turns negative i will call foul) on what we think is great about america.
as a brit who has lived and been over a number of times there are many parts about america that i think are great and thought is would be healthy to have a positive thread for a change.. so a starter for ten (with a few gross generalisations thrown in):.

Books and movies that have influenced you since learning the truth about the Truth
by JimmyPage infor me it has been a journey through these books: "crisis of conscience", "in search of christian freedom", "combatting cult mind control", "releasing the bonds", "i'm perfect you're doomed", "confessions of a teenage jesus jerk", "evolution for dummies", "the god delusion", "god is not great", and "the end of faith", along with various books about zen philosophy.. these movies have also been important: "religulous" and "worlds apart".. some books i am interested in reading next are "the spanking room", "growing up in mama's club", and "1984".
who has read these?
do you recommend them?.

Email from my grandmother yesterday.
by elder-schmelder inhere is an email that my grandmother sent me yesterday.. .
shawn, it's very difficult & sad to come to this decision, but because of your attitude towards the truth & us personally (thinking that we are stupid) we're going to treat you as a disfellowshipped person from now on.
actually, you're worse than them because usually they know they have not kept their oath to jehovah & don't speak abusively of the organization and don't turn apostate.
