Wow I think we have a bigger insider scoop than everyone who's a healthy JW
by nbernat inhow is it that we get so much insider info all the time and i get my meeting announcements here before i get them at the meeting?
for example i saw the bethel brochure one week before they had it at my meeting and it must've been an elder who scanned since they were the only ones who had one.. .
do we have active bethelites and elders here?

Play the Devil's Advocate
by nbernat inso my family wants to talk to me about my "doubts" and i know they'll try to defend everything they can in any way that they can so i just want to be prepared and see what they might say (what you would have said as a witness or what you've heard others say) so that i could rebut it on the spot.. if the fds is directed by the holy spirit why have they been wrong before?
"light gets brighter...." but that's not the case because there would be no reason to go back to old policies after changing them...the light certainly doesn't get brighter, then darker, then brighter, etc.if god is omniscient why did he create satan knowing he would rebel or adam and eve knowing they would sin?

does anyone have any quotations from the watchtowers?.

Anthony Morris III Comments at 1st Int'l Convention
by nbernat inwell the convention was extremely long and boring but i decided to take specific notes on brother morris's talks for discussion here on jwd (and i was also able to get a few extra copies of the creation dvd so if anyone wants one, pm me).. overall, the brother is not a great orator and sometimes awkwardly raises his voice.
i am aware that some of the friends were a little disappointed to say the least that we did not get a more "famous" gb brother at the first international convention, but he speaks for the gb, so same difference.. it felt like most of his talks were around a.
) countering criticism about jws and b.

Preceding weeks' WT articles?
by nbernat inthey are pretty much glorifying themselves (the gb and anointed that is) and putting unto themselves the names of a prophet and only source for interpretation of the bible.
whatever the hell they decide to make of the bible is law and should be accepted good willingly!.
because they were named by the master jesus christ.

Starting a "private school" at the KH?
by nbernat indoes anyone know of the wts's regulations regarding starting a home school program for the kids/teens and using the kh as the classroom?
would they approve?
there need not be any other form of regulation in california but be considered a private school-- no accredidation, housing, etc.
