Mind Control in the Watchtower
by SYN inintroduction .
having been a witness for many, many years, about 15 to be exact, i just thought i'd explain a few things for new-comers to this site about what it's like to be a "dub".
"dub" is just a convenient shorthand for "jehovah's witness", and is not meant to be derogatory, but i think i will stick to calling them witnesses here for the sake of people visiting during the furore upon whose brink we are sitting.. much of those early years i don't really remember.

THANKS SIMON
by You Know ini just wanted to take a moment and thank you for providing this forum.
of course, i realize that it's intended purpose is to serve as a stumbling block for jehovah's witnesses, yet at the same time it also serves as a platform for me to defend my faith in a public forum.
over the years i have appreciated the opportunity provided by this and other forums to confront and refute various challenges that apostates have presented to our precious faith.

GET READY TO MEET YOUR GOD!
by You Know inget ready to meet your god o israel, is no doubt a meaningless phrase to those who have no fear of god.
those who in their presumptuousness imagine that there will not be a day when jehovah settles accounts with his people can only be described as faithless and apostate.
but, for those who fear god the prospect of jehovahs impending judgment both fills one with dread and awe.

"Home Is The Sailor.."
by Englishman ini mentioned last week that we had held a wake for my friend and quiz partner, knocker john the sailor and submariner.. this afternoon saw the completion of our good-byes, as knocker was cremated after an amazing funeral.
first off, the coffin arrived draped in the royal navy ensign, then, to the music of moonlight serenade, we all trooped into the chapel.
a lady stood to take the service, and, suddenly i realised that knockers last wish was to take place.. about a year ago, i posted how knocker and i had attended a funeral for someone else, and how marvellous the funeral had been because it had been a non-religious service.

Old Dumb Farts Running WT Will Keep Laying Eggs
by D wiltshire indumb farts running wt will keep laying eggs.
these are modern times and the wt faces many more challenges than in the past.. will they meet these challenges or will the old stale farts that run the wt drive it into the ground?.
it has been true, and said many times that wisdom belongs to the aged but maybe this is a bit too general to be applied to every situation perhaps in many areas of life yes, but not every area.

Who Pays The Ferryman....?
by hillary_step infrench philosopher blaise pascal once noted, "men never do evil so completely and cheerfully as when they do it from religious conviction.
" a case study for this statement can clearly be evidenced by the governing body of jehovahs witnesses.. the gb present themselves as lovers of truth and righteousness who are the only persons on this planet who speak for god.
this doctrine is at the very core of the beliefs of jehovahs witnesses and is one of the few that cannot be rationalized away by wts apologists.
