Cults or mere Abusive groups?
by Amazing indefining what a cult is, is difficult.
similarly, in science, there is no established definition for what a weed is; at least i have found none.
there is no clear-cut way to separate and define a weed from other non-weed plant life by logical methods.

I Lost My Heart When I Used My Mind
by messenger ini lost my heart when i used my mind.
it is a road many have traveled, an uncertain path wrought with fear and adversity, yet a journey that for many must be completed or they will never feel at peace.
when a person has heart, they may be described as motivated, a leader, a person who draws others to their cause.

H.O.G.W.A.S.H.
by LoneWolf in<i>i promised magdaleen that i would post this for her.. plus it has come to my attention that gopher aspires to becoming a satirist and being the loving, caring soul that i am, i always try to help the young.
he is welcome to try to keep up, but my personal bet is that about 2/3 of the way through he will scream in terror and jump out the window.. this letter was actually sent toward the end of june, 1996. yes, it took about 6 months to write it, as i was working 70 to 80 hours a week as a long haul truck driver.
it was written primarily to my daughters (and our former) congregation in alaska, with copies going to the parties named at the end of the letter.. all the names have been changed or blanked out except for p. g. ronco, the branch overseer, whom i know personally.

Why some stays inside the JW
by beroea ini was posting a little on the old h2o but have taking a break before going to this new room only watching for a while.
im still an active jw and elder here in europe - a long way from you in the usa and also another culture even inside the jw.
i think we in europe as jws are thinking a little different from the jws in the u.s. we dont put religious authorities as high as i think you do.

Faith in spite of the WTBTS --- Hillary, et. al.
by LoneWolf into all ---about faith.. i posted this some months ago on another board.
the comments then were thoughtful and appreciated.
i'd like to know yours, too.. a brief background first: i first became active in service in december of 1946, and have been disfellowshipped for over 12 years now, not for gross wrongdoing, but because i asked too many questions and wouldn't quit.

I cryed today...
by silentlambs ini recieved this note from a young person i know personally.
it brought tears to my eyes for someone so young to see things so clearly.
why can't six million others see this simple reality and the need for change?.

Where do they sit in your hall?
by ns7 inwhat i find bemusing is, if there are any disfellowshipped ones in your hall they have to sit at the back.
now without getting into the merits/rights/wrongs of whether this should be still acceptable, where do they sit in your hall?
you see i seem to remember that they would sit on the back row, come in quietly just after the song and prayer and leave at the end just as quick.

".They also learned to quit fixing ...
by MacHislopp indo you believe that someone learns from past...experience?.
there was a measure of disappointment on the part of jehovah's faithful ones on earth concerning the years 1914, 1918, & 1925, which disappointment lasted for a time.... and they also learned to quit fixing dates.
(vindication i, 1938, p 338).

To StiLLinTruth
by LoneWolf inthis is only the second post that i've made on this board, so i hope that by posting this a second time, that i'm not violating some rule that i'm unaware of.
if i am, then i apologize to all.. however, this answer to stillintruth is on the fourth page of his last post, and i want to make sure he and as many others as possible can see it.. you will note that i sign my real name to the bottom of this.
that is meant as an open challenge to any and/or all to do something about it.
