The Latest Lie
by agonus inin a recent watchtower, the paradise earth doctrine and its "uniqueness" to jehovah's witnesses is discussed.
i don't have a scan available at the moment but i may be able to obtain one.. .
what i wanted to bring your attention to is the paragraph discussing the bible students' teaching of a "paradise earth" under pastor russell's leadership.

So If Someone's been Pagan they can't be RE-instated???
by ziddina ini noticed this comment by awen on cyberjesus' thread about needing help because the elders were going to call and he wanted to perform an intervention.... awen wrote: "i was informed by one of the elders (not the po, but someone with "pull") that because i had been involved in paganism after i was disfellowshipped, that i would have to wait longer for reinstatement than for the immorality i was originally dfed for 10 years before that.
i pleaded my case that i was no longer practicing that and had been out of it for a year prior to seeking reinstatement and that it shouldn't matter.
i came to learn from this elder that because of my pagan practices, in his opinion i would never be reinstated....".

Young people ask Awake January 2010 Why don't boys like me? Girls take please!
by restrangled inok, i'm pissed here is the advice from prepubescents from somewhere and some highlights from the article.
my comments in parenthesis.. "dress modestly, and maintain good hygiene.
" (just out of curiosity, does anyone know a teen-aged girl that is not obsessed with hygiene and who's view of modesty are they referring to?).

"Spirituality" Part of JW Jargon?
by greenie inthis is something i've heard lately.
i have a feeling like other seemingly innocuous words, that this one actually has special meaning in jw speak.
or am i wrong?

Evil lying Manipulators OR Captive Duped Slaves Duping Others (or some of both)?
by OnTheWayOut ini see many threads that address this issue, but i still don't have a clear thought on this.
so i want your help.. the governing body misleads the members- no doubt.
they do change some of their history to make the wt organization look smarter or better-guided by "jehovah.

I am seriouly disapointed in the Watchtower society
by Aussie Oz ini can scarcley believe my eyes.
i read in another thread about c. t. russells attitude that his 'studies in the scriptures' is better than the bible and come to the conclusion they are not god abandoned today, god was never there.. fast forward to modern times and they are still at it, likening their body of teachings as being part of the bible.. most of you already know the pasages in their own lit that i refer to, i'm just stating my feelings as i dismantle a 38 year old belief system.. it seems to me, that all along, the belief of the watchtower society is this: our writings are true, they are backed up by the bible.
rather than, the bible is true, backed up by our writings.. disapointed.
