Yet More Annual Meeting Speculation. . .
by breakfast of champions inso, yes, there will be a "new bible" released at this annual meeting.
worst kept secret ever.. however, the new bible will no longer be called the "new world translation".
again, this is pure speculation, but it would kind of make sense since the term "new world" is very mason-y, old-time jw-y, and doesn't appear in the bible anyway.. what they would call it, i couldn't even guess..

What's in it for them? (GB)
by SyntaxError1974 inif the wbts is just another business?
then what do the gb get out of all this?.
tim cook (ceo apple) makes around 378 million a year.. donald trump makes around 60 million a year.. i understand the wbts may have vast property holdings, stocks, bonds, and revenue from donations.. but i can't grasp the incentive for the gb to make this stuff up.

Who is your favorite "Apostate"? Who helped you see the truth about "The Truth"?
by minimus ini would have to say that ray franz was the biggest influence for me.. when i first got on this board, a poster by the name of james, a former bethelite and organization heavy, helped me understand a lot of the inner workings in the upper echelons of the society.. .
and of course, farkel's common sense approach was (usually) helpful..

Doesnt this scripture completley blow up their dogma?
by Crazyguy inas i have studied the bible more in depth i have noticed that there is no two tiered set of christians.
as we know the jw religion teaches that only the 144k are anointed as the use romans chapter 8 to try to show that gods holyspirit will mix with an individual's spirit and then they will know their anointed.
all others can be christians so to speak and they would have the rank and file believe this anyway.

SHUN ME IF YOU MUST SONG
by RankAtheist1 ini have been d.f'd since '72 when my over-acheiving brother spearheaded the action because i had visited with my d.f'd mom and my catholic wife had a christmas tree!
so it has been a while since i have given serious thot to this crap.
but my eyes were opened this last 4th of july at lake tahoe when about 50 of us at a camp site sat and related all the personal adventures of trying to extricate oneself from this insidious cult!

The first reaction of a JW with Cog Diss
by Phizzy ini don't think any jw is without cognitive dissonance, unless they really have no thinking ability whatsoever.. so, once their beliefs are challenged, what is their first reaction ?.
nearly always, in common with others who have cog.
diss, they challenge the integrity of the one offering the challenge they " shoot the messenger".. for example, the alcoholic or heavy drinker, when confronted with what may happen healthwise, will challenge the integrity of the research.
