The Organization Who Cried Nationalism
by sabastious inone of the first things i sunk my teeth into when i left the watchtower was national politics.
for the better part of my life i considered national politics as a dirty, or unholy, thing entirely.
i actually cannot remember a single positive thing said about politics during my childhood.

God exists? God doesn't? God is a different concept? Convince me!
by punkofnice ini am in a spiritual void at the moment after a year out of the borg and 50 years in.. i'd like to hear 'brief' evidence for the existance or non existance of god/s without an argument between members here.. i'd like to get fresh view points as mine is now so critical it's telling me to be an agnostic or atheist.
why?
i am in want of evidence, not just words from a copy/paste troll & no links.. i just want to open up to new possibilities but with evidence to support it not just 'faith'..

What to ask a proselytizing spouse
by Nickolas inif you are a non-jw married to a jw, how do you deal with those times during the week when he or she slips out for several hours with bookbag in hand, going door to door?
your spouse is out there actively recruiting for the watchtower - do you have a problem with that?
do you ask your spouse if he/she is up front with the prospective convert?

Stating the OBVIOUS with such a sense of "discovery"! False prophecy
by Terry incharles taze russell, j.f.rutherford, fred franz and the entire watchtower writing department from 1879 to this day have fallen into a trap.. they state the obvious with a profound sense of "discovery".. meaning what?.
they look at "today" and look at the "past" and ignore the fact that nobody can look at tomorrow!.
in what sense?.

WT message about Apostates
by mankkeli inbecause of listening to the devil and not rejecting his lies, the first human pair apostatized.
so, then, should we listen to apostates, read their literature, or examine their web sites on the internet?
if we love god and the truth, we will not do so.

Should we protect the minds of the future?
by sabastious ini think it can be agreed upon that a young person becomes troubled because of something lacking rather than just something inherently wrong with the person.
the reaction youths have on adversity can either build the person up or tear it down.
their reaction to adversity is caused by the their various interaction with their environment including the people within it, namely their parents.
