Why are they still so obsessed with Dr Spock?
by purrpurr incomment in today's wt, was about dr spock, and his book "that every parent in the world read" apparently (!).
if it wasn't for the wt's obsessions with the guy i would have no idea who he was, neither i suspect would the vast majority of the congregation.
there has been a mass of parenting books written since and yet they keep harking back to this one.. do they have no idea how out of touch this makes them seem?.

Faithful and Prudent slave? read somewhere that the discreet was going to change to Prudent.
by goingthruthemotions inread on one of the forums, and maybe this one that the gb are going to start calling themselves the faithful and prudent slave.
my pimi brainwashed wife wouldn't bat an eyelash if they started calling themselves this.
to her it would be new light and they could do nothing wrong.. but, how the not so brainwashed flock take this change?

Have you ever gotten a straight answer? If yes, what was it?
by Tenacious inthe light continues to get brighter, yada, yada, yada.. but, the bottom line is the watchtower claims everything comes from jehovah.
books, magazines, videos, assemblies, to jw broadcast, to gb appointments, to dramas, even the music and sophia and caleb.
heck, they would claim jehovah provides the toilet paper if they could.

Does anyone think that Dubbers buy up old publications to destroy?
by rockemsockem ini see that there is a lot of people bidding on and buying the more controversial publications.
it could be all due to people who have left the cult and want to read it as published the crazy things or prove it to a family member.
but i wonder if anyone has ever heard of individuals buying up to remove something from the public.

Any Dogs Returning to their Vomit Here?
by Solzhenitsyn ini was wondering if any long time jw's that are now pomo's here on the forum now act in a leadership role within another religious organization?.
i do and would enjoy a bit of conversation with this (i assume minority) "sub-culture" of ex-jw's.

US & UK difference
by Olig inso i was wondering, is there a difference between the baseline attitudes of jw's in the us and the uk?
i hear tonnes and tonnes of experiences regarding elders chasing people up and hounding them.
and people having to devote their lives to fading out.

Conducting the B School
by Solzhenitsyn inso how many of us who conducted the b school have the reoccurring flashbacks every damn time we now pomo, put our hand on blinds to raise or lower them?.
we either fiddled with lowering them every week as we got the school underway or fiddled with to raise them to "listen in to the #3 in progress" up front.
every time i grab the pull string or the louver adjustment wand anywhere i inevitably have a kh ops moment of pause.
