How many different books have been published by the watchtower society?
by outlander ini know there has been a lot, but does anyone actually have any idea?
to make it easier, lets omit books published before say 1960. that gives 50 years worth of books.
i wonder how many books it takes to teach the word of god door to door, and how many just find new ways to say the same things?

Satan's email address?
by transhuman68 ini have been trying to contact satan: i wanted to ask him about a couple of posters we have here, and i thought that since the internet is so evil, he must be logged on somewhere.
i have tried '[email protected]' and '[email protected] ' but i can't get through.
maybe the phone lines to hell are running hot?.

Training us better to talk to people at the doors.
by life is to short inok so many of you did not mind sitting and wasting time in a car while out in service because it beat banging on doors and trying to convince someone to join a religion that at least i could not fully explain even to myself much less someone else.
i agree sitting in a car beat banging on doors hands down.
but was it not crazy going door to door.

Talked to an OLD friend...he has NO desire to 'return' to the fold either!!
by babygirl30 inthere was a family in my cong that i was really close to...dad's an elder, mom's a pioneer, they had a son and daughter.
about 5yrs ago though, when i was still in my jw trance - the son married a non-jw and faded while the daughter was df'd.
due to my judgemental training, i 'shunned' both of them out of duty (not because i didn't care about them).

The perfect is the enemy of the good
by JeffT ini've been thinking about this quote (usually attributed to voltaire).
my last employer was never satisfied with good, he always found a way to demand more.
the wtbs has the same problem.

Did you ever play this legalistic JW game?
by no lies please ini remember years ago playing a game at gatherings wherein the object was to get into the new system.
they would hold up a nwt or a knowledge book (or similar)and after clearing their throat would state the name of the book that they were holding and state that if you read it and apply it you would get into the new system.
after which you were told whether or not you made it into the new system by precisely repeating what you had heard.
