What a messed up Cult the JW religion is
by Think About It ini'm reading coc for the first time.
a governing body that is suppose to be god's channel on earth and led by jehovah's holy spirit could not even change jw dogma even though the majority of those present voted for change.
there had to be a 2/3's vote of the total gb membership.

The BEST way to deal with elders......to maybe even get them to 'think'
by EndofMysteries inthose who leave because of conscious, want to serve god and see how so many things going against the scriptures vs lost faith in everything and not gonna bother trying to figure out what to do.
( i say this because those of the 2nd group, won't ever get w/ anyone who are 100% convinced in the truth and mental blocks are way up, any who don't believe anything, what they have to say is not even worth considering to them ).
i truly am for conscience reasons, and am experiencing an enlightenment that i can't even describe or try to teach, one must just go through it to understand.

Remain Close to the Governing Body DC
by gutted ini just finished all 3 days of the dc and, for what it's worth, wanted to get down some of the highlights i enjoyed.
i went with family and i only did it for them, and hope to never attend another assembly ever again.. .
the whole thing was pretty boring and uncomfortable due to the stadium style seating which doesn't favour my long legs and ac being blasted too high.. .

Is the Watchtower an Apocalyptic or doomsday religion?
by jwfacts inimo the watchtower has a strong emphasis on eschatology and is one of the most prominent of the modern apocalyptic religions.
so i found it surprising to see the watchtower never uses the word eschatology applied to itself and claims not to be an apocalyptic religion.

FAO: Bane - You Mentioned the Eye
by cantleave ini don't want to hijack the other thread.. you mention the eye being better than any camera so lets discuss this.
i used to give a talk where i would use the complexity of the eye as evidence of creation, but i have since changed my mind and below is the reasoning that helped me do so.. i would welcome you comments and reasoning against this.. if you had a choice between being totally blind and being able to see things out of focus, which would you pick.. i'm sure you would, like me prefer to have out of focus vision, than no vision at all.. would you rather have vision that was out of focus and devoid of color, or be totally blind.
i'm sure you prefer the colour option.. how about if you could only see vague shapes around you or blindness?

How close is the "New World Order" 'conspiracy' to happening if true?
by EndofMysteries ini'm going to post this, as an opportunity for people to debunk, or realize how much in the dark they are.
i don't need to repeat the so called united the world under one government, (all of the "unions" the past 10 years which most are oblivious to).
nor do i need to repeat having a "one world currency", which most think won't ever happen in our lifetime.
