How Common is this amongst JW's?
by stevieb1 ini found this material on a pro-jw newsletter, and i've had this personal experience myself and know many others who have also.
before i became a jw i experienced a tremendous amount of "love" from the congregation i associated with, but once baptized they leave and move on to the next potential convert.
as a single person, i was never invited out to gatherings very much and always felt a little left out in the very clique-ish congregation that i attended.

RE: WORLDWIDE LETTER CAMPAIGN
by stevieb1 init was good to read details of the letter campaign from silentlambs protesting about the pedophile issue, and i'm sure it will bear some fruit.
in any type of marketing campaign you will usually get a reponse rate of around 1-2% so if this is true here then, yes, at least some will take heed.
in order to be more effective we need to do this more often.

BRCI on RealAudio?
by stevieb1 ini have read about the brci conferences and they sound like a "must-see" for ex-jw's needing help or even for those with doubts about the organization.
i was wondering if they are or will ever be available on realaudio or windows media?
this would be a major boost if they were as i live in the uk and cannot forsee travelling to the us at this stage.. .

Scriptures JW's Apply Exclusively To Themselves
by stevieb1 inone example of this trend that i came across is found in acts 15:14 which according to the nwt reads:.
"symeon has related thoroughly how god for the first time turned his attention to the nations to take out of them a people for his name.".
we can also add v.17 which states: "in order that those who remain of the men may earnestly seek jehovah, together with people from all the nations, people who are called by my name, says jehovah, wh is doing these things,".

Latest WT Encourages You to Question Your Religion
by stevieb1 inas long as your not a jw already that is!!!!!!.
that being said the august 15, 2002 edition of the watchtower carries the cover article "to whom should you be loyal?
" which contains several experiences of ones who gave up their old religion and despite much opposition became jehovah's witnesses.

"seven stars" of Revelation 1:20 - JW...
by stevieb1 in.
according to the march 15, 2002 wt page 14 the "seven stars" of revelation 1:20 in christ's righ hand apply exclusively to appointed jw elders today and since they and the governing body are under christ's direction we should submit to their leadership etc.. .
at the kingdom hall last week i heard a talk in wich the speaker intimated that since the congregations in asia minor all received letters they were organized in much the same way as the wt is today.. what is your take on this matter?
