Who's Cult is it Anyway...???
by Bells infirstly - i am not, and never have been a witness.
my bf's family are all witnesses and i have been looking into the religion lately to try to get a better understanding of where they're coming from.
(btw, my bf is not a witness - he was thankfully never baptised and he just walked away from it about 13 years ago).

Association
by EmptyInside ini can't stand it,my brother who is an elder is such a company man.
he mentioned how one of his son's friends wasn't doing too well spiritually,and he wished his son wouldn't hang around him anymore.
he really has no say in the matter ,since his son is grown and out of the house.. but,again,it's already shunning the so-called weaker ones.

So... what's being studied at the moment...???
by Bells ini'm not the most proficient user of computers, so excuse my ignorance - though does anyone know of any websites (the non-complicated ones - you know, no downloading special software etc.
- yes, i'm that hopeless) that explain what is the 'hot topic' week to week and month to month.. i'm interested in knowing what agenda is being pushed at a particular time, especially in regards to conventions and that sort of thing.
i find the witnesses that i have to associate tend to be more or less opinionated on certain things depending on what the wt is telling them to think at any one time.. if i am able to understand what they are being told, i think it will help me to avoid getting involved in certain conversations and therefore 'keep the peace'.. does such a site exist?

The Witnesses stance on seeing a psychologist?
by Bells incan anyone clear this up for me?.
i was under the impression that witnesses were strongly discouraged from seeking help from any therapist / psychologist outside of the organisation.
this always made sense to me because i'd imagine that many psychologists would realise that a witness belongs to a very high control group once they start speaking to them.. .

Help get my FB page to 200 likes!
by ILoveTTATT ini have a fb page that exclusively posts excerpts from wt publications in english and then translates them to spanish.
the format of the page is like this: i post an excerpt from september 1879, september 1880, 1881, etc... until 1970 (when the spanish wt cd has the rest of the publications).... i am finding it hard to get more likes since i post very nice and friendly and inviting comments on spanish jw pages, but i get banned after three attempts... meanwhile, i get approximately 30 likes from each time i post on the other pages.
my page is friendly and does not look at all "apostate"... just simply posts wt literature and translates it.. i want to get it to 200 likes or more, without spending money on advertising.

Convention in Canberra Aus this weekend....
by Bells ini'm just wondering whether there is anyone on this forum who may have attended the convention in canberra this weekend.
all of my husbands family went and i'm interested to hear what was talked about - especially in regards to members who have 'fallen away from the truth' or references to worldy people.... i find that how we are treated pretty much depends on what articles have come out in the watchtower (study edition usually) and what talks are being given at the meetings - so knowing what is being said helps me to be prepared.... palso - unrelated but can anyone help me - is the teaching that the anointed will all be gone / dead / in heaven before armageddon comes?
if so, how do they teach that a is 'just around the corner' when the gb are still alive and kicking - as well as other anointed ones... just wowondering.
