Important Clarification Regarding Candace Conti Case
by headisspinning ina document has been circulated that suggested that candace conti was only seeking one penny fer 144,000 members of the annointed.
please note the clarification below.
we all have to be very careful about sharing misinformation since this can be very damaging to our efforts and 'opposers' will latch onto these 'errors' and claim we are lying.... new update from candace about the document on her requesting a penny per 144,000. she said the actual documents were legal documents that were put together to create the other document making these claims.

Putting some wick in Wikipedia
by Simon Morley ini just want to posit to all why many on jwn don't take advantage of the wikipedia to establish counter arguments?
today many researching the net will first gravitate to wikipedia because it simply provides a reasonable unbiased viewpoint and when it is in contention, moderators will simply encourage more evidence to be submitted to support arguments.
as i support and add to many wikipedia sites - as long as there is evidenced based quotations (which is encouraged by wikipedia moderators) there are no questions.

Apostasy - Rhetorical Argument
by Simon Morley ini was musing on this for several weeks now and wanted to share it with you.. if a person who has no religious affiliation (apart from a love of god) converted to a jw they would be welcomed by their new jw community and likely rejected (albeit small) by some of their family.
if that person now a jw converted to islam and became a muslim, (but still loved god) they would be welcomed by their new islamic community and penalized (d/f) by their former jw community.
if now that same person (still loving god) stopped being a muslim and went back to being a jw they would be welcomed back by their jw community but penalized (possible death threats) by their former islamic community.

Saturday, Sunday, Monday and Midweek Night
by Simon Morley ini notice how periodically the wt and/or awake!
portray inactive jw's as selfishly spending their time washing their ferarri's on a saturday morning or jetting off, excutive class, to cabo san lucas.... since leaving what have you done with your time?
it would be nice for new and/or lurkers see that we are not all involved in some bacchanalian activity.. i have volunteered for a couple of not-for-profit charity boards and joined a volunteer group that helps people with english and math.

Active and/or Witnesses in good standing with the congregation: What brings you here?
by feenx ina question was posed on another thread whether or not those of us on this board who are no longer a part of the organization should be mindful of our words on this board so as not to upset any active witnesses.
there are some, including myself, that feel there aren't really any active jw's on here.
those who are still in the organization that post here are usually looking to leave, or seeking opinions on how to handle fading away.. i would be very interested, with complete respect, hearing something from any active witness as to what draws them to this site.
