If a JW girl falls pregnant to a 'worldly person'...before marriage??
by Lantana ini've had many encounters with jw's throughout the years and i've found them to be decent, caring people.
i've attending meetings, read a number of awake!
and watchtower publications and so on and so forth.. the book 'crisis of conscious' by ray franz was really eye-opening for me and served as a strong warning for those about to enter the organisation...its easy to fill in the blanks from there -- i never became a jw.

TURIN SHROUD/ Has anyone found a faith after leaving??
by chuckyy inhi.. ive recently been reading some really interesting stuff about the turin shroud, how it could be authentic after all, and the evidence that points to its authenticity.
of course, this gives me reason for thinking that "what if the gospels are true after all?
has anyone else here looked at the subject of the turin shroud??.

Would you have gone in SERVICE if you hadnt been required to report time?
by LovesDubs ini remember reading...i think it was ray franz's book (how is ray anyway?
) that the gb said that the sheep "couldnt be trusted" to do anything voluntarily and therefore they couldnt stop the reporting arrangement because nobody would go.. since the statistics clearly clearly clearly indicate that going door to door doesnt work and in fact the number of hours spent bringing just one person into the organization amounts to like 8 hours a day every day for a year...youd think the society would get with the times and eliminate that method.
and...jesus never went door to door anyway.

The Book Study change is for real
by Hiddenwindow inuntil now, i have been skeptical about the so called change in the book study meeting.
however, maybe this anecdote proves me wrong.
we (the elders) recently had a meeting.

The letter of changing the book study
by JWRESEARCH ini had a second and a third chance to read the famous letter.. here a few details.
it starts by saying we are in the last days and those who oppose are making things more difficult.
adds that the gb wants to follow the 1st century example (not to add more burden) and quotes acts 15:5,28. mention the raise of gas price (and the dificulties of some families) and suggest to use the free night to family study.

The WTS Breaks Up!- theoretically
by Dubby inthis is a topic i hadn't thought much about until zep brought it up on the bible research forum, i thought i'd drag it over here.. what would happen in your opinions?
would there be a "old timer" sect with all of the traditional teaching?
how 'bout a sect that is more interested in blood reform, along with relaxing the df policy?

I need direction, a guide, inspiration....Holy Spirit???? (lurkers welcome)
by oompa inwe all know that witnesses go nuts when you point out their apparent lack of attention from god due to all their constant changes in teachings...from being wrong all the time.
somehow, because the slave (gods channel) is imperfect and makes mistakes using gods instructions we should still follow them.
they will say we are not "inspired" by holy spirit like the bible writers...just guided and directed by god, but still imperfect so make mistakes....ok........ you are lost, and need directions to your destination.
