NWT more Accurate?
by buffalosrfree inrecently heard a commnent from an elder that the nwt was the most accurate bible translation.
that even on the jeopardy game show it was shown or that one of the questions pertained to the bible and the nwt being the most accurate translation.
i find this exceedingly hard to swallow as it is full of errors 237 i can think of right off the bat.

Spycatchers
by hurricane inmy daughter and son in law have just been dfd for questioning re issues we all know about, molestation, 607/587, ngo, etc.
i am not going to add to the damage by shunning so my own days may be numbered ?
maybe though i will be left alone as i dont think rocking the boat is what my own elders are about and our family connections are numerous.

FDS GB power flow chart
by cultswatter ini have posted about this subject before, but still not satisfied.
according to f. franz (in live forever book) the gb members are in fact fds members, so in essence the gb members carry a dual title.
"yes me lord gb/fds" now lets say an annointed bethel member is not of the gb.

I came to a realization just now, how about you?
by return visitor ini have been inactive now for over a half a year, and i am just now realizing that there was not one thing i enjoyed about being a witness.
i enjoyed my friends and association with witnesses, and still do.
but i didn't enjoy one thing that we were supposed to do, not one.

Meeting unknown ex dubs for first time
by greendawn ini personally haven't met any ex jws for many years now, but if you happened to meet one you never met before what's the interaction like?
is there a sense of identity and solidarity due to a common past or no special chemistry going on?
would you pursue a friendship with such a person?

Help from elders?
by arker inso as an elder, if you have left or are fading now, what specific things made you change your mind?
is there some thing that most regular meeting goers would not be privy to that made you change?
i know that you had your elder book, was there stuff in there that was out of line that made you stop and go "no way!"?.

I Believe She's Trying to Get me Disfellowshipped!
by R.F. ini've tried to be nice about it, perhaps i'm just a little too nice when dealing with her.
ok, my ex-fiancee started blowing up my phone again and leaving voicemails.
i considered changing my number weeks ago but changed my mind when her calls stopped but i might need to consider it now.
