Please Respond To Survey! 25 more needed please.
by Big Jim init seems like to me the majority of people who are in the truth, are were in the truth was a result of either a family member are a friend witnessing to them and not many seem to have been found in the door to door work.. from my years of associating with the borg i cannot recall many coming in the truth from the door to door work.. how were you sucked in?
for me it was my aunt who has now even though i am not disfellowshipped decided to write me out of her will to the tune of about $150,000.00 (maybe i should hang around a couple more years)dont think i will.. please respond .

URGENT..............
by open_mind ini recieved a voicemail from my bookstudy conductor last night.
he wants me to agree to a shepherding call.
i do not want to meet with them.. my question is if i do not agree to have this meeting with them, are they going to force me into a judicial hearing for not following the direction of the elders?.

JW's And Risque Mnemonics.
by Englishman indo folk in the united states use mnemonics as we do here in the uk?.
just in case youre wondering, a mnemonic is a method by which it becomes easy to remember something, especially if it involves a table or sequence.
most uk mnemonics have a vulgar or sexual connotation, so their use is somewhat frowned upon in jw circles.. when number 2 son was studying geology, it was essential that he remembered the hardness order of various minerals.

When do you move on?
by OrangeBlossom ini was talking to my brother last night on the phone who walked away from the borg in the mid 1980's.
i asked him if he ever checked out any ex-witness sites.
his reply was basically, no, since he's moved on past his time served in the borg.

"The spirits are about to speak!"
by Skimmer inthe wtbts claims to be "spirit-directed".
how this is different from being "inspired", only a lawyer could tell.
there is no doubt that the wtbts has many, many times claimed to be "god's only true channel", "appointed by god", "not a false prophet", and so forth.. my question here is: how does the wtbts describe the actual mechanism of "spirit-direction"?.
