Christmas
by link ini was once told that rutherford only decided that christmas was a "no no" after he split up with his wife.
because if he could not spend christmas with his family then no one would.. it sounds far fetched but could any of the contributors to farkels giant "rutherford exposed" thread confirm that the date for the christmas ban came anywhere near rutherfords split with his wife?.

Pastor Russell and 1914
by Kenneson in1. russell did not believe that 1914 marked the "beginning of the end" as do jehovah's witnesses.
rather, he pointed to 1799 for that (i.e., see zion's watch tower for nov. 7, 1893, page 24: in commenting on the discovery of the rossetta stone he states: "[the point is that 1799 was the very year beginning the time of the end when many would run to and fro and knowledge be increased.
' dawn, vol iii, chapter ii--editor]" .

POST YOUR REALLY HARD JW QUESTIONS HERE SO I CAN CALL BRANCH
by tresbella ini plan to call up the branch office and pose as an 'interested one' and ask a bunch of difficult questions i am almost positive no jw witness will be able to ansewr.
1. if the supposed "light is getting brighter" then does that not mean that it is possile that many of the teachings that the society is teaching now may be false such as blood transfusions and the 1914 teaching?
2. since any witness who speaks against the wt and refutes one of their teachings and is therefore disfellowshipped for it, what if the very teaching that they spoke against turned out to be wrong later on?

The stupidity of it all
by l3gi0n inwhy would i, or anyone believe that a god who expects me to be so anal with holidays, doesn?t care about all the other stuff.
the origins of easter are 3000 years old, children working in sweet shops, for big names like, thegap, and disney are today.. but god don?t care about them, he is more concerned with weather we celebrated the resurrection of the savior by giving our kids candy
dimonds come fromafrica, and are mined by enslaved children, who work in some of the worst working conditions in the world.

Undaunted Danny's final clicher of WT's best blaspheme
by Undaunted Danny injust my 2 cents but if i was to post what i would consider to be the single most convincing arrogant blunder of the wt(for me in my time) it would have to be below.
: when i heard this 'proclamation' i, (and many others at my cong) were convinced that this had to finally be it.
because there just was no way the wt could possibly say no babies again and not have it be the final,real ready rapture.

587 BC for Total Dunderheads
by Farkel inif you're a dunderhead on neo-babylonian history (like me) you've probably remained totally clueless whenever the subject of the chronology leading to back 607 b.c.
since i had nothing better to do today, i decided to finally take the time it takes to understand why dub chronology on that date is wrong.
this piece of information alone should give you a clue about how bored i am!.

Legal Eagles
by link invarious media reports indicate that the wbts often employs the services of a large number of lawyers and i have seen it suggested that some of the top legal minds amongst them are in fact jehovahs witnesses.. since a qualified and experienced lawyer will have been trained in the art of digging out and scrutinising factual information, how come these people are jw?s?
if they applied their training, to the lest extent, to an examination of "the truth" (tm) it would quickly be seen as a load of bull puckey, even by a halfwit.
it could not possibly stand up to proper scrutiny by a person trained and qualified in the legal profession.

JWD ....the opium of the Ex ?
by ScoobySnax inmarx reckoned religion was the opium of the people, i'm no marx, but i reckon jwd has become the opium of the exjws.
it satisfies a need, gives one a purpose, feels someone with a greater sense of purpose, trys to give one a purpose and reason for being here, and very closely becomes a "religion" of sorts to many.
many here claim they stay to help others out of the wbts, where in fact i think they stay because it has become their new "opium" its a focal point they can meet with like minded individuals to further their own new "belief".
