Breeding Ground for Sex offenders
by enigma1863 inthe watchtower would never claim that they want child molesters in their congregations.
no 'respectable' organization would.
that doesnt mean they are doing anything to prevent it though.

All JWs share the same belief
by biometrics ini was having a discussion with a (currently serving) elder recently when he brought up a straw-man argument that went something like this:.
elder: i've been invited to speak with other christian groups, you know what they do when studying the bible?.
elder: they read a verse or chapter, then go around the room asking how everyone interprets the reading.

Flash Mob at the Kingdom Hall
by wisdomfrombelow inwouldn't it be interesting if dozens of people showed up at a kingdom hall as part of a flash mob, not being disorderly, but to make a statement.
maybe all raising their hands on a particular question and giving a "real comment" instead of restating the paragraph.
or they could all leave if when one of the paragraphs says "internet bad...ignorance good".

If death is the result of sin, why do animals die?
by Orgull inmy first week of posts here were very serious and all the wonderful, encouraging replies helped me very much.. so now i want to ask something semi-frivolous.
(actually it's one of the many things that don't make sense to me about "the truth").
why do animals die?.

Did anyone get the old "counterfeit money" illustration?
by themonster123 ina couple of my old witness girlfriends came over last night (note-i only recently left the org.
like 2 months ago, so people are still trying to get me to come back and "reason" with me)...and they used that stupid "counterfeit money" illustration.
i swear, every time i tell people i don't think it's the truth, they put that old illustration on me!

Gog and/of Magog...
by peacefulpete inhere is a scan of articles from the dictionary of deities and demons in the bible.
it appears
a derivation from sumer-ian gug ('black spot', 'cornelian', or 'shining', depending on the identification of the root) has been proposed (a. van hoon-acker, za 28 [1914] 336), but is highly implausible.

In a flash of blinding light...
by terraly inone of the traits that is most endearing about a lot of witnesses is that they will not listen to logical arguments raised by family, friends, or *gasp* apostates, but they will listen to the most contrived and specious arguments that the writing dept.
can spew forth.. then in the style of swift, i submit a modest proposal for getting past these defenses:.
distribute an apostate watchtower issue.. we all know exactly how watchtowers look- the size, paper, style of artwork, and phrases used in the writing.
