NOT AGAIN! That's right folks, once again we are now 'very close' 2 the end
by needproof ini have received word that we are now 'very, very close'.
at the sunday meeting, according to my trusted source, the speaker actually said that 'it is no longer years, nor months - yet weeks and days'.
so they need you back, now!

Where did the WTS condemn the Catholics for pedophilia?
by AK - Jeff ini did a search of the publications - perhaps i used the wrong words, though i thought i used the correct combinations.
i can find plenty of condemnation of catholic church, but nothing that specifically condemns the catholic church for the pedophilia issues within.
i was sure that they had done so over the years - but was i just reading my jw taught judgementalism into articles that weren't specific?.

How much control does the WTS really have?
by dozy ina theme regularly running through ex-jw / apostate posts is their conviction that the worship of jws is at best of a high control basis or at worst exhibits cult-like tendencies , so they often delight in the freedom that they now enjoy.. but in reality , how much control is exhibited on the average witness?
to take one example , at least 40k are dfd in an average year , and one would assume 3 - 5x this figure are reproved privately or publicly.
that means that over a 10 year period 20% - 25% of jws are seriously flouting the strongest moral code of jws , usually for immorality , emphasized in wt after wt , meeting after meeting.

what's in it for the women???
by chelsea ini have often wondered what's in it for the women???
i just read the story of minimus and it is so clear that such power and privilege on offer to males in the borg would be enticing and probably addictive... but the women will never have such offers or opportunities.
they will always be required to be in subjection.

What Actually Made You Leave The "Truth"?
by minimus infor me it was a combination of things over a long period of time.
being raised as a witness, you do things by rote.
but when you see sooooooooo many watchtower inconsistencies, mistreatment of the "brothers", elder abuse, and simple lack of love, it begins to make you start seriously thinking.

Need some Gardening Tips
by Yizuman ini just finished hoein' the garden bed, loose soil and all.
i have bought 4 bags of lily bulbs, each bag has 6 bulbs each.
i have sought info in regards to gardening from various people, but the main question i have not been able to get answered is whether or not any kind of weed killer (chemical or otherwise) can harm lilies if i sprayed on them by accident?
