I'm in awe. I can understand how people can be brainwashed, ever thinking 32 pages means something is incredible Cognitive Dissonance. Perhaps you should write the society to ask what the significance of 32 pages is. I'll play. 9. Because "No other organization is doing this". Claiming that right now is the time of the end based on discredited numerology starting from a provably incorrect date? Amazing more churches don't jump in to compete with Jehovahs organization on that one, sheesh. Bring_the_Light

Eh, keeping things on perspective, if it weren't for the great secular society we have, the Goth Satanist would have gotten much the same treatment from the Christian, and everyone would think its good. Let's just be happy that we live in a society where this is wrong.

I recently found out my dad took heat for letting me go to college. Probably took heat for the fact I never progressed in the truth (never baptised). He was an (MS). I love my dad. He was a real believer, but was also a real believer in education and for a mans right to make his own choices. He's out now too. So you could say I was correctly accused of not believing the Grand Lie, my dad was falsely accused of it being his fault. His superb genes for intellect played a role, but I'm the one that used those genes to full effect. :D

"Armageddon really, really close" made me suddenly remember an older Dub who commented AT A MEETING with the Mic, that Armageddon was SUPPOSED to happen in 1975, so it must be SUPER-Close now (maybe 1990 or so) they were dead serious, not an apostacomment at all . This was the first glimpse of past dim Light. A bunch of people got uncomfortable at the comment, I just now remembered this and understand why for the first time. Ha!

JWs at the door
by HB inyesterday, my 23 year old son mark was the only one in our house and was just drying off after a shower when the front doorbell rang.
he was expecting a friend to arrive, so he pulled on a pair of underpants and went to open the door and let his friend in, only to find two sweet-looking, demurely dressed middle aged jw ladies on the doorstep holding magazines.
mark was not particularly embarrassed, but the ladies were visibly taken aback by his appearance and were speechless for a couple of seconds.

wow! Thanks for your interest in this! First off, they will for sure come back eventually. Dubs have your community better mapped and organized than your city government. They visit "every" home in their "territory" every couple of years. Basically they go through everybody, when they get to the end they start over again. I remember the more experienced ones knew entire neighborhoods of people basically by name, what their religion was, and how they responded "last time". If you ACTUALLY want them to come back, call or write a letter declaring so to the local Kingdom Hall. You'll have half a dozen pioneers humping your leg in a matter of days. If you are so willing, ask for a regular Bible study, and I'm sure we'd be happy to feed you ammunition if you're willing to fire the gun. :) Bring_the_Light

Is the WTS increasing or decreasing?
by Fisherman inany facts showing whether the wts is growing or showing that it is declining?

The HUGE over-turn is something I learned about only recently. The 3% apparent growth is actually reaping Lots of souks and shitting out " lots -3%". I've heard it works out to they "retain" about 34% of (the stupidest and most impressionable) members. Look to your left and right. If you're dumb enough to stay in for life, you won't be allowed to talk to either of those people someday soon (2/3 leave). Bring_the_Light

Do elders actually read a DA letter?
by digderidoo ini have thought about daing myself over the years.
i see it as putting that part of my life behind me, however i will not at the moment due to my mom.
at some point in the future i will do this and close a chapter of my life.. i have always wondered though whether the elders actually read the reasons as to why a person does this.

I'm pretty sure most elders have heard it all before. The difference between us and them is they NEED the Borg and do not see the harm. Attacking the Borg even if you are factially correct will just be absorbed as trifling about god's organization. There are more important things than the facts to these people.

Why Adam and Eve were unfairly judged by God
by BreakingAway inthe argument has been made on many occasions that death and suffering are a result of adam's sin.in fact, the bible is so clear on this "fact" that it is one of the few things on which nearly every christian denomination will agree.. "therefore, just as sin entered the world through one man, and death through sin, and in this way death came to all men, because all sinned romans 5:12. however, i would like to present the case that god had, in fact, not told adam this very thing, and consequently, adam was unaware of what really would take place upon eating the fruit.notice this verse:.
"but from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat from it you will surely die.
" gen.2:17. i highlighted the word "you" because this is absolutely critical.why ?

would you be so kind as to give us YOUR count of how many times God lied or misled and Satan lied or misled in Genesis Chapter 3? Basically, I'll be astonished if your count differs. The phrase "It is impossible for God to lie" is a lie. Even with your theory that a lying god is ok because he's god is correct, the Christian characterization of the nature of the Christian god is not supported by the bible. You'll need to start a new religion to promote your "God is an a-hole, but he's God so he can be" theory. What is dangerous, my dear, is letting MEN fool you about who God is and what he wants from you. This idea that God can be unjust and he's still right is both dangerous and insane. God is "supposed" to be the good guy. Bring_the_Light
