Interview with the JW Geek
by Hmmm inwhen i was a senior in high school, the principal called me in to her office to ask why i'd missed repeated deadlines to turn in my applications for colleges.
i went to a school for brainiacs, and was above average there--yes, i was a geek among geeks.
the principal asked me if it were a question of finances.

JW needs another disaster!
by astroboy ini'm a new poster and i know this subject has been touched on many times before after 911, but its amazing that a terrorist act that killed so many seemed to inject a little spark in many jws.
my jw brother (mini-servant) called the morning of the disaster and his first words to me was "i'm glad i'm on jehovah's side!
"...duh what does jehovah got to do with that!

JW friends- Who am I talking to and what do I say?
by detective indungbeetle said this in another thread and i thought it could prove helpful to those that are still in contact with jw friends and relatives.. jw's defense of the watchtower is merely a thinly disguised effort to defend themselves personally.
recognizing this defense mechanism for what it is will be a first important step to breaking down these psychologically harmful barriers.. i was thinking that perhaps we could talk about how we speak to jw friends and, even more important, how they speak to us.
i found dungbeetle's very insightful.

A Must Read for Those Who Want to Leave
by SixofNine indoes god work through an organization?.
the question seems silly to me now, but not that long ago, as i stood dazed and confused on the edge of the watchtower, wondering if i should jump, would i survive, and where i would jump to, it was crucial to me.. thirty six years of jw brainwashing told me that god just *has* to have an organization.
my thirty six year old gut was telling me that god doesn't *have* to have or do anything.. this bit of writing by a former bethel elder helped set my mind at ease: http://www.caic.org.au/jws/organization/godorg1.htm.

A little more about myself
by Soledad inhi all again...i had said that i would post a little more about myself, not too much, i hate to be long-winded and boring, but i also like to keep my word, so here goes.. there were always 3 nagging doubts that i had in the back of my mind: one was how come we as witnesses commemorate the death of christ if he specifically states "do this until i return", yet the wts stated that he returned invisibly in 1914?
(im sorry i dont have any kind of bible handy to quote this scripture word for word, im just going on memory) of course i now know that the "official" position on 1914 has somewhat changed, but when i was a dub, it was all the rage, in addition to the whole "generation" teachings.
some witnesses in my congregation actually braced themselves for 1994, anticipating something.
