Sometimes I swear there must be someone awake in Writing who are attempting to nudge people awake.

Couple of real gems in the WT study for this upcoming weekend
by sir82 insince blondie seems to still be on sabbatical, i'll take the liberty of highlighting a couple of "gems" from this week's upcoming study, from the article "reject worldly thinking".. from paragraph 12:.
is it true that succeeding in a secular career that offers power and prestige leads to lasting happiness?
remember that the craving to control others and the longing to be admired are the desires that enticed satan, but he is angry, not happy.. .

Leah Remini on Paul Higgis accusations
by John Davis ini was wondering what people think of leah remini's comments on the paul higgins accusations.
she has said that the 5 women that have accused him of rape and sexual harassment are not to be trusted.
she says that because 3 of them want to stay anonymous that must mean that they are not accurate statements.

Whether the allegations are true or not doesn't invalidate his documentary Going Clear.
Nor does it invalidate the suffering that Scientology has left in its wake.

The subtle message at every circuit and district assembly, and at many meetings is: Pioneer or die!
If you COULD pioneer, but don't, you might be making God angry. You are not putting God first. You are not whole souled. You are giving token service. You are lukewarm. You are giving a blind and lame sacrifice and thus you are unclean.
Could you do more?

I'm so glad to be away from this cycle of guilt.
Back when I regular pioneered after high school, the hours were 90 a month. I only made it 6 months...I couldn't even do the full year.
I bought tickets for concert...and then later it turned out that there was a special meeting for pioneers that same evening. I paid money for the tickets and really wanted to go. My father guilted me over this, telling me I was like Esau, trading my birthright for a bowl of soup. In retrospect, I'm glad I went to the concert instead! The pioneer meeting was really the worthless bowl of soup. I chose wisely.

Come on, Mainstream Media!
by Wild_Thing init has been sickening to read the most recently leaked documents by faithleaks.
it makes me so angry because so many of us have experienced first hand the horrible policies of the watchtower on abuse.
i feel like these documents are finally the smoking gun we have all been hoping to expose the watchtower, and so far, the only mainstream news that i have seen pick it up is newsweek.. what will it take for the mainstream media pick this up and give it the attention it deserves?

Other equally sized or smaller religious groups like Scientology and the LDS get much more negative press.
What I do wonder if there are a just a handful of JWs who work in various news organization...say NBC or CNN...and they can subtly nudge unfavorable stories to the bottom of the pile.

I do wonder what NBC is doing. They did the Dateline episode...and huge settlements made the nightly news. But since then? Crickets.
It almost makes me wonder if Watchtower has people of influence in some of these news organizations.

Now that the focus is on starting conversations, will they still be leaving magazines indiscriminately?

The Millions booklet was all about 1925. I believe that was before the phonograph witnessing.
