i hope to make a decision within days and plan to publish within weeks.. it has now been 50 weeks since that statement.. has the book been published yet?

Personally, I don't care who publishes this. However, there is the awkward elephant in the room that would be copyright law. And of course, adding pages onto the book that don't belong there, and then proceeding to sell this book for profit.

Did you see how much a certain person got for a crowdfund appeal? Over $17000, I think it worked out at 1000% funded for a book that still has not been released!

So whilst we all rail against others here, remember this indiegogo appeal for a book that has not even been published yet.

Personally, I have not seen anyone else beg for money in the JW community to publish their book. And this book has been in production for over 2 years now! Surely it doesn't take that long to write a book? Even being the busiest person alive!

This is also a sign, never mind the fact that this could have been a JW that killed her...It's still a sign!

Jehovah God is Real

by TakeOffTheCrown in

there are many on this site that do not believe that jehovah truly exists; that he is not a real being.

but, he is as real as next breath you draw into your nostrils.. some of you say that there is no evidence that he exists.

yet, none of you can prove that he does not exits.. cofty, (you come to mind), i appreciate that you have stated, without reservation, that you do not believe that god exists.. yet, you cannot prove it.. hope in jehovah..

I do think before I write. Why, will the skydaddy somehow stop me from thinking? Or is this another veiled threat to somehow make one afraid of the big man in the sky?

They are GOG’S CROWD.

Hold on, is this new light? Is the watchtower now saying that Gog of Magog is not in fact the governments of the world? So now Gog of Magog, are a group of people who reside on jw.com?

Sheeplike?? A Christian Requirement or WT Controlling mechanism?

by BluesBrother in

when we were practising witnesses we heard a lot about the need to be "sheeplike" , having a sheeplike attitude and personality .

a typical comment might be :.

"lasting peace & happiness just ahead" 2009 p 30.

Sheep do the bidding of whoever/whatever are guiding them. Watch how a sheep dog rounds the sheep up, one sheep follows the next, and the next, and so on.

Watchtower uses this analogy on the unwitting JW as a "good quality" to have. Even the average JW are called "other sheep," In reality, this is actually downgrading one as a independently thinking human being to a watchtower drone, who will do the bidding of this high control cult.

Simply put, using the name sheep displays just what this cult think of their followers. Expendable!

Are we going to resurrect this issue of whether or not CoC should be published? Yes it may help others. However, judging the contentions this issue created the last time, are we willing to let sleeping dogs lie? Come on people, we left this cult, stop opening old wounds and let us move on.

Besides, a quick hover over at Amazon will reveal many more great books on this cult.

The Scientologists have a group of people that solely use the internet to peddle their crap. They will try and defend the movement. The evidence is now mounting up that makes me believe that watchtower are now using bethel employees to seek out forums such as this. They are also flooding YouTube too...And don't even get me started on Yahoo Answers.
