WTS Advice for Kids: Beat a Bully
by Darth Rutherford inwow... the irony is amazing.
so here we have a cartoon about how to deal with bullying, which in itself is a positive message.
what's incredible is that it's brought to you by a religious organization that dominates your life, and requires absolute, loyal submission from its members.. if you should dare stand up and question its unique, ever-changing, brand of contradicting "christian" doctrine, then you will be labeled as "weak", "worldly", "bad association", and possibly an "apostate".

Happy Are the Merciless
by Darth Rutherford inrecently the local kingdom hall had a local needs talk in which they expressed how too many people were listening to the meeting via the telephone connection.
as a result, they've changed the code necessary to listen to the meeting.
only qualified individuals (homebound, bedfast, etc) will be allowed to call in and listen to a meeting.

Old "Light" Cannot Be Right - Interesting Quote from Watchtower
by Darth Rutherford incame across this quote from w64 2/15 p.101:.
"when a belief is not correct but is wrong, then it cannot be right at the same time.
the most sincere belief and practice of that belief will not change it from being wrong into being right.

Should I Return?
by Darth Rutherford inwe all are at different stages in our journey from the watchtower organization.
some of us have been free for years, and some of us are at that moment of initial discovery.
as for me, though i began to conscientiously fade just a few months ago, my discovery actually began years ago - even while serving as an elder.. i have no illusions that this journey will be easy.

Reasoning with Jehovah's Witnesses: Disfellowshipping
by Darth Rutherford inhow can we reason with jehovah's witnesses regarding the practice of disfellowshipping fellow believers?.
well, when you look up disfellowship in the nwt index, you are referenced to expel, expelled.. when you look up these two words, you get the following scriptures:.
john 16:2 men will expel you from the synagogue.
