Recon those illustrators purchased top shelf mags as inspiration for those pictures? Or dressed up some elders wife to pose? Or used their own private stash of mags?

I recall an illustration of the angels looking down on some women bathing in a pool - it might have been in the bible story book, but one of those women with long brown hair and a gap between her lips was hot hot hot - even for a six year old. I'd leave heaven for that

a consumer activist site here in the u.k runs an on-line straw poll on a different subject each week.. this time the question was "what religion are you ?
the tick boxes listed all the common faiths, r.c, cof e, jewish etc, along with "other" and "non-practising".
out of 5,000 respondents 22% said non-practising.. 22% said atheist.. !3% said agnostic.. i think this may be a fair reflection of belief in the u.k today, 37% who do not believe in god, plus another 22% who are not convinced, hence non-practising.. after over 100 years of preaching the dubs are fighting a losing battle.. of course they were far too small a group to warrant their own tick-box on the survey.. .
The UK definately has a fairly strong atheistic, agnostic under-current - but has this had a positive influence on this nation - hmm......
That is a really good point. Has the UK gone downhill in recent decades and if so is it connected or indeed driven by lack of beliefs?
I've lost my religion (worked hard at leaving it behind) in the last decade and done a lot more for society in that time. I can't speak for the other 60 million here.

jonathan saunders thanks his upbringingfashion designer jonathan saunders thanks his jehovah's witness upbringing for his successful career.
fashion designer jonathan saunders says his jehovah's witness upbringing pushed him to succeed in the clothing industry.. the scottish-born designer - who wowed critics with his floral designs for spring/summer 2011 at london fashion week - admitted he hasn't spoken to his religious parents since he left home at the age of 16 to pursue a career in fashion.. jonathan - who is renowned for his edgy geometric designs - said: "you have to go without something to really want it.
i'm quite thankful for my upbringing because of that.
That's really interesting. A brave boy to leave home at 16 to follow his dreams. I wonder if his parents secretly acknowledge his success from afar?

well my mom and i got into a pretty bad argument today over the phone.
it basically came down to the fact that she couldn't handle what i was saying about the organization, etc and all she could come back to me was that i "hated her?
" i guess i just wanted to share and vent a little too....thanks for letting me do so.. .
Meangirl,
This is going round and round in my head. I don't know what you were trying to achieve, but someone has to spell it out to parents that they did so much wrong by bringing kids up in a cult and they should be sincerely apologising for it instead of still laying on the guilt and fear.
Hope you feel better for it - sometimes honesty is the best policy.

since they have fingered you as a mod, you should have a very interesting tale to tell; please do!.
I'll be glad to do the 'research'- tell me where to look, please.

something jws say that to a lot to people who have left or are leaving the org.. i find it very a very ironic statement since the wt and awake, or any wt literature for that matter, is never critical of itself and never directly addresses refutation of their doctrine and predictions.... i was raised a witness, as many of you were.
i have been subjected to "one-side-of-the-coin" for almost 2 decades!
the only true way to bring balance to my information is to look at the other side of the coin and give it great consideration.... -sab.
More like a drug company trying to convince people their mind-control drugs are great even though independent tests say they're dangerous along with those who've managed to come off them. Only those hooked will say it's good. I suppose it's true that we're only looking at the shocking side effects and not the placebo effect.

i made a post yesterday about some of the stupidity that has been flowing from my most recent assembly program.
one things i forgot to mention was this:.
hd television, video games, cell phones, and other interactive electronics - all of these things are very highly stimulating to the eyes and ears and kids (and maybe some adults, too) get used to receiving this type of visual and auditory input.
Oh sh1t I forgot - I don't go to meetings

I always found the colour illustrations in the WT far too distracting. It would be far better to have no illustrations so that we could spend the precious time at the meetings listening to the upbuilding comments of our beloved brothers bringing praise to the fine work the faithful and discreet slave class do for us each and every day.

a rebellion had begun.
in moses' absence, the israelites built a golden calf and engaged in idolatrous reveling.
the clamor of their immoral festivities was clearly identifiable as improper.
You ever thought of starting your own cult?
...I just don't have the charismatic presence to pull it off...
cyber-cult? Then you'd never have to grace anyone with your presence.
The writing committee are without reproach because they're anonymous but they're stuck in the 19/20th century. You could continue your anonymity. Think where the WTS will be in 100 years and beat them to it. You could have a great following via your SD-7 Kindle with weekly downloadable sermons, daily reminders for the days text and, if you wanted to be just as controlling as the WTS, GPS tracking so the whereabouts of all your flock could be monitored at any time.
Great thread
