by jwfacts inmy adorable little son is very excited about christmas.
i have not made a big thing about it, but he must have picked up the christmas spirit from what he is seeing in the shops and on tv.

More and more shunning going on?
by Snoozy inis it just me or does it seem like there are more posts about shunning than usual?.
i take it that between the ex jw's and the internet the jw's are having a hard time holding on to their people.
of course they don't want their people anywhere around someone that might wise them up to what the jw's are doing to them..striving to keep them as isolated as possible.. if that isn't a cult i don't know what is.. i feel so sad for family member that are going throught this and unable to be with their loved ones because of some idiot religion that seems to appeal to some ..it must fulfill some need in their life.

A little example of how severely the contributions for the Society are drying up
by sir82 injust a little tidbit from the congregation i attend..... the congregation has approximately 120 publishers.. well over 1000 magazines per month are picked up, not to mention all the books, brochures, and tracts that are picked up.. there was a "local needs" part on the service meeting recently, asking for more contributions.. it seems our congregation has averaged just about $300 per month contributions to the "worldwide work" over the past year.. .
assuming 1500 magazines / month, that's just 20 cents per magazine - and that completely ignores all other literature that is picked up.. the last price the magazines had, 20+ years ago, was 25 cents per issue.
with inflation that would have been about 50 cents each now.. just another sign of how severely the contriutions to the society are drying up..... .

How great is the Watchtower at describing themselves when pointing the finger?!
by Fernando inhow well the watchtower describes itself and its god - the "god of religion" namely "satan the devil"!.
how clear it is that they are not inhabited and driven by the spirit of the "god of abraham" whom they have not come to know!.

WT: "Don't be a FOOLISH Christian and OWN things!"
by cedars ini've taken a bit of a break recently from analysing the more recent articles.
i find it makes my head spin when i dwell for too long on all the lunacy, fear-mongering and paranoia - of which this month's issue is a classic example.
however, this time round i just couldn't help myself.. there were quite a few things that leapt out at me, but one of the funnier quotes was as follows (taken from page 19, paragraph 20):.
