WT scars that run deep
by man in black inmy son who is 26 yrs.
old recently confided in my wife and myself that he is having a rough time moving on past the jw mindset.. he was associated with the witnesses for the first 24 years of his life, and he really tried to do the whole witness thing correctly, yet he was and still is a shy person.
now that he has been out for two years, he is having a lot of anger toward people who believe in god.

Did any of you study the WT lesson throughly without ANY underlining?

it makes me think whoever underlines the wt without going throughly is purely hypocritical.

I know Christmas is "wrong", but for god's sakes, what's so "wrong" about New Near's day?
by african GB Member inthis time of the year is the most stressful for jw's(especially progressive jws) as they have to explain to non-jws why they don't celebrate christmas and new year's days.. i can understand the religious implications of christmas day, but what about new years?
what is so wrong about looking forward to new beginings?
was new year celebration also started by "christendom/ babylon the great"?

Their Choice: Denomination...or Death
by metatron init seems that the governing body may have recently perceived that they are losing the next generation of witnesses and also have no emerging "b" team to replace elders dying off.. but words and fewer meetings aren't going to change that.. religions don't endure because they make any sense!
they endure because they build an infrastructure and institutions that preserve their particular traditions.
this is the reason for the success of the catholic church - and, especially the mormon church ( with its laughable beliefs).. but the governing body has been busy tearing down what little infrastructure of support the organization has.
