5 Euros... do i hear any other bids?
by highdose in5 euros thats how much old jw books are being sold for in my local second hand book shop.
they are pre 80's and 70's books, some have been underlined and srciptures wrtten in the margin in typical jw style.
i should point out that when i pulled them down off the bookcase they were topped with a generous amount of dust, so i imagine they have been there some time.. so what is the going rate for old jw books these days?.

Governing Body: Why Do You Want The Disloyal?
by metatron ini address this question to the governing body, to their internet monitors or to any apologist who might want to speak for them.. why do you want disloyal people in your "clean" organization?.
it should be evident by now that an untold number of people in the organization do not really want to be jehovah's witnesses any longer.
specifically, they don't want to attend meetings, or to donate money to the worldwide work, or spend real time going door to door.

Excerpts from '1984' by George Orwell--Part 1 (Warning to the impatient: DO NOT READ)
by sd-7 inyou folks play aggressively here, and i'm starting to understand why.
but let's not waste time.
life as one of jehovah's witnesses could accurately be described as an orwellian nightmare come to life.

Deleting private records
by teel ini just had a weird thought.
in my country there's a law (i think some similar exists in most countries) that any organization, society, entity can only keep record of private nature about a person / entity if he/she/it gives its explicit consent to do so, and that consent can be revoked at any time by the person.
so whenever i participate in a product related raffle for example, there is always a legalese text asking whether i give my consent that the data given by me to be stored by the company and used for further promotional offers - agreeing is not necessary for the participation in the raffle.

What do non witnesses actually think about the evil practice of disfellowshipping?
by jambon1 inwhenever i have mentioned this practise to people who don't know much about the witnesses (although they should know about them due to the worldwide preaching activity .
to most right thinking people it is absolutely just not an option to have no contact with your immediate family.. one lady said to me "i'd rather rip my heart out".. what has been your experience when people find out that jw's carry out this evil practise?.
