How will WTBTS turn growth around
by joe134cd ini know sometimes i can come across as an opologist.
i just can't seem to help myself, and i do apologize.
i had a thought on how could the wtbts turn their fortunes around to reducing the out flow, and getting a more positive growth of publishers, particularly in western lands.

JW Apolgist rant here...and confession.
by Julia Orwell ini really don't like people disparaging active jws on this site by calling them stupid, idiots, morons and that, and making out like they're willing puppets to the gb or cruel at heart.
or describing them like they're puke or as having no desire to learn or listen.. to you, all these things may be true.
we all have opinions and are entitled to them.

Probably a long overdue post and reminder for us all on JWN.
True public confession like this has tremendous hidden power and transcendence.
It will profoundly impact the confessor in a very positive and very powerful way.
The small mysterious seed sown could germinate into something that unleashes freedom for millions.

Drop the bomb!
by apocalypse ini had a chance to drop a bomb on a 'bro' that i have known many years.
you should'a been there.. (this is the second time in less than 2 months i have dropped this particular bomb on a bro and in this manner).
before i tell the story, which you will enjoy, note that i have remained "in" the org for many years after finding out the ttatt.. 1) for the sake of family (limited time left).

Question about recent love bombing....
by mind blown infor more years then i'd like to count, one jw relative has never called to see how i was doing.
today she calls out of the blue, asks how i am, and if there's anything she can do for me.
as of late another jw relative has been a lot more communicative.

"Two Trees" by Robert Ingleson is a great read.
On my spiritual journey I have come to conclude that the first tree is "religion" (poison chalice) and the second the "unabridged gospel" (Holy Grail). This is brilliantly, graphically and shockingly depicted in the Harrison Ford (Indiana Jones) movie "Last Crusade".

The college newspaper article from 1989 that got me kicked, at last
by Suraj Khan inmany months ago, i shared the experience of my removal from jehovah's witnesses.
to quickly recap, i had faded from meetings as an unbaptized publisher starting at about age 14 and had later decided to attend college against the wishes of my family.
as i liked to write stories, i sought a job at the college newspaper and became a columnist.. i brought some of my newspapers home during the winter break of my sophomore year, the one time i visited my parents during college.

I thought that these days unbaptised persons cannot be D/F or D/A and you should be free to associate with your family if they choose to - they are safe and cannot be acted against?
Great article by the way.
And you probably have been spared many wasted years and possible horrors by such an early exit. Good on you.

Vinyl words printed for back of my car should say??
by RayPublisher inso let's say i've thought about having some vinyl lettering printed up and stuck on the back windshield of the car to publicize ttatt...what should it say?.
"do you know ttatt?".
"jehovah's witnesses are a cult that breaks up families".

Should I ''respect'' Bible and Koran believers?
by ThomasCovenant inbelievers in the koran/islam, that's all of them, not just so called extremists, believe that i, as an unbeliever, will be the fuel for the fires of hell.
that's nice.. they, along with all bible believers, worship a god who is, according to his written publications, a right bastard.
i despise their god/s.. i find that i do not respect their beliefs.. i cannot help but think that when all the philosophical talking of this, that and the other is done, they're just idiots.. i, on my down days, find that i do not respect them as human beings.

I believe you will find totally opposite perspectives when comparing religious and spiritual persons, whether Christian, Jew or Muslim.
My views have changed 180 degrees since encountering and growing in faith and spirituality, whilst my Watchtower imposed apostate religiosity, legalism and moralism grows weaker by the day.
