Is the Bible Really Scientifically Accurate?
by FreeAtLast1914 inthe society (and others) love to quote job 26:7 where it says that "[god] suspends the earth over nothing" and isaiah 40:22, where it speaks of "the circle of the earth".
they use these scriptures to boast about the incredible scientific accuracy of the bible, proving god had a direct hand in everything written in it.. the trouble is that elsewhere in the scriptures, opposing views are put forth explaining then-unexplainable physics and geographical notions.
one is job 26:11: "the pillars of heaven tremble.

Do dubs intentionally mess up other people's holidays/birthdays?
by rebel8 inmine does.
goes way out of her way to stir up trouble, conflict, and manipulate the former and non-dub relatives into not having a nice holiday.
goes to extremes to do so, and is at it again, right on cue..

Barbara and Joe Anderson in video from Bethel Family Night 1991
by Dogpatch inwhile many jehovah's witnesses have been treated badly by the watchtower organization, many have had good experiences during their time as witnesses.
for several years starting in the 70s, the brooklyn home had a kind of "talent night," in this case it included an interview.
you think these are "grumbling apostates" who never enjoyed their time in the organization, watch and find out.. dan bell, a bethelite, told barb that "no one ever gets to see these "family nights" outside of bethel and gave barb a copy of this one on a vhs tape as a personal gift for them to share with others.

Apostate Brainstorming Session
by AllTimeJeff ini have been meaning to bring this up for a long time.. sometimes, i think we (former jw's) who are very rightly concerned about all the lies of the governing body have some great ideas about how to expose jehovah's witnesses.. some of us have very passionate and distinct ideas.
not a few of us have websites with our own personalities evident.. i don't wish this to get personal.
even if i disagree with some presentations or rhetoric of some, i know that it is sincere.

Perimeno
by Truthexplorer inafter i decided/resolved to return to meetings several months ago, after being away on and off for several years; i can honestly say that i feel far more settled and comfortable in attending meetings again.. i struggled to attend before, having been reproved, then moving to a different congregation which i didnt find to be overly freindly.
it was only after i was reproved that i began to see all the past history of the soc iety(via internet) and the many things that simply stumbled me.
3 times i tried to return to meetings and three times i fell away.
