I can understand the sentiment but don't bother wasting your time. When I finally fade away from this religion I have no intention of wasting any time in ineffectual activities that simply reinforce their persecution complex and give them a false justification for my spirtual "weakness". Walk on and do something more valuable with your time.

Disrupting literature carts
by perfect1 ini am ready for a little guerilla warfare (no one gets hurt, of course).
but these literature carts in the city need to go.
everytime i walk by its all i can do to keep from knocking the thing over.. any ideas on how to destroy their little stash of paper.. so far my best idea is water, pouring water all over it.

JW.Org
by Kool Jo ini've been pondering......with this new "push" to direct individuals to thw jw.org website, even when the dubs are out preaching...what do you think the future will be for the preaching work?.
some time ago i read that the mormons have implemented a live chat feature that allows you to speak with their missionaries....i doubt the borg would do this, but i think they have something up their sleeves.. peace.
kool jo.

@emeth do your youtube viewers know you post here?
I don't see the door to door work being dropped anytime soon for the reasons cofty said.
I expect more alternative ways of preaching to be developed however in line with technology but not to the exclusion of the face to face preaching work.
What baffles me however is why, with all the gazillions of spons they have at their disposal, there is not a mass advertising campaign using the media. They could afford to advertise across TV, newspapers, online, radio with no problems in many countries. Get the JW.org brand out there and then backed up with people on the street. This surely would be the most effective way to reach lots of people.
Except it costs money.
And they have 7,000,000 volunteer recruiters.
Who need to be kept busy.
mmmm....

@Kate - this year the convention arrangements are VERY inconvienient for most people in the UK.
The international convention is being held at Twickers. Draw a line along the M4 to Wales and EVERYONE south of that line is going to the home of Rugby Union. That's all of Sussex to Cornwall.
Most of Kent, east London and Essex are going to the Excel in the Docklands. Which has pi**ed them all off, especially those in London since the "gold" location is Twickenham and they can't go. They have to sit in a convention centre and watch the GB big wigs huddled round a big telly. And be grateful. I know this bit 'cos a Bethel brother's wife from East London told me how upset everyone was when they were told.
Hotels have been booked solid for months now. People from Cornwall will be spending a fortune to attend. The cheapest rooms in Travel Lodges at the end of the runway at LHR are £100 a night. If you have kids and need two rooms then you are spending £200 a night. We have seen prices for almost £500 a night for a double room.
It's also a bank holiday weekend.
All of Wales are going Cardiff. Those in England but close the south Welsh border won't be going, they are off to Birmingham.
For those north of the M4 it's not so bad as there are conventions in Birmingham, Liverpool, Manchester, Sheffield, Leeds, Newcastle, Glasgow and Coventry. The only convention not happening on the 22nd-24th is Coventry which is the week after as they could not get the Ricoh that weekend.

Space/Time and speed of light to explain how quick God created the Earth
by EndofMysteries injust a random thinking outside the box thought i had today.
it began with doing a little more reading about space/time.
scientifically, it's known that as one approaches the speed of light, time slows down for them.

I've not spoken to one Witness who refuses to trump science with the ability of God to do what the feck he likes just 'cos he lives on a cloud and invented everything. That's regardless of how much some of them like to think they are knowledgable about physics, chemistry or biology.
Of course, as soon as you stop playing that trump card then you on the journey to knowing TTATT.

The Last BOE!
by Atlantis inthis is the last boe we will be able to provide.
our informant or source, was caught, disfellowshipped, and thrown out of bethel.
we knew that sooner or later the watchtower would find him out.

Dear Atlantis. It's a great shame to hear this news. Your friend showed immense bravery and fortitude having to remain in such an institution whilst helping out those already out and those wanting to be out. Please send my best wishes and deepest thanks to you both for all your hard work.
It might seem a blow right now but I am sure it will not be too long before another avenue opens up.

Watchtower® and their education
by punkofnice inok. i'm a brit as some of you know.. what i noticed with the wbt$ is how they only seem to write from an american cultural standpoint.
not a bad thing if you're one of my cousins form the usa i admit........ but.... here in the uk there are some things that are meaningless to us.. eg hazing.
this was warned about in a study and over here we had no idea what it was and it kind of alienated the congregation from the study.

@AndDontCallMeShirley
The "Randy" character in the drama is 100% correct 'cos I was there. It was many years ago now but it was hilarious. The very first time it was used the character just said "Hi, I'm Randy!" and it was absolutely brilliant. All of us youngsters at the time cracked up.
Almost as good as the sister in an interview at the Southampton DA saying "shit" accidentially as a malapropism.
Oh, and the streaker...
