Less literature for Field Service means more Bible usage...
by Alfred ini recently asked my jw elder brother (who thinks i'm just "inactive") what he makes of the reduction in pages of the wt & awake rags.... his response was something like:.
well this was something that has been discussed for a long time.
the society feels that the brothers need to start using the bible more in field service so they are slowly reducing the pages of the literature to encourage the brothers to read the bible more and not depend so much on the literature.

Watchtower view of logic
by Steve Mc inthe watchtower's position on logic and truth is basically that there are two logics (god's and man's) and two truths (god's and man's).
this position makes knowledge impossible (especially knowledge of god) and allows the society to contradict itself with impunity.. read my letter to the society:.

desensitization from the Jehovah's witnesses
by Star tiger in.
this may be a different way of exit from the jehovah's mentality, for me it should work, first i want to try all the things that were verbotent to them, slowly at first a piece of black pudding, then donating blood, you see the progression.. then a little more flagrant in the laws, buying a pack of tarot cards, reading them and so on.. does anyone think that's a reasonable way of beginning to destroy the subconcious methods of programming, also i am very ocd so any way of destroying the jehovahs witnesses mindset is fraught with potential new ways of worrying me!.

"They took no note" - ?
by compound complex ina friend and i talked on the phone recently, and he read matthew 24:36-38 from 3 different versions of the bible.
the various renderings indicated that the citizenry were not aware of a coming judgment nor did they suspect anything, giving rise to the thought: what did noah preach (if anything)?
likewise, were people in areas far removed from noah's alleged ark building apprised of his monumental feat?
