IMPORTANT - document to download regarding UN situation
by El blanko in(probably should have posted here rather than 'friends')
a good friend of mine has spent a considerable amount of time building an air-tight case against the societies handling of the united nations issue and has uploaded the information to share.
the document is just under 1 megabyte in size and suitable for print in microsoft word.. i suggest anybody with even a passing interest in this issue, downloads the file now.

JW fun is at an all-time low
by Nosferatu inthere used to be much more enjoyable things in the jw religion that would give you some relief from the recycled information.
remember when there were two dramas at the conventions?
remember at the meeting, instead of having a public talk, a missionary would show slides from his recent trip, or there would be a movie shown from the wts?.

Honest mistakes? The Governing Body's excuses for their actions
by Terry inthe governing body tells us they are not false prophets because they admit their mistakes.. they only err because they are zealous to see the new order commence.. they are on the watch and warning everybody just like they are supposed to.. their doctrines change (new light) because they see and admit their errors.. what more can we expect of them?.
is the governing body honestly doing the best they can?
they are only human; how can we expect them to be perfect?.

Sydney District Convention starts tomorrow!
by ozziepost inyep, the downunder mob aren't used to having a dc during winter, but this year the sydney dc is kicking off in mid-winter.
it'll make it easier for the families of high school students who normally have to balance their exams with attending the dc.
and of course, it'll mean that families don't have to forgo their summer holidays to attend a dc in december!!.

The Internet and Apostasy
by CakeMonkey inhas the internet and forums like these caused an exodus from the j-dubs?
when i left in the early 1990s i met support groups through the yellow pages but it still felt like i was the only one in the world who was an apostate.
i've come to this forum in the last year to browse because my brother has now left.

Once You Start Getting Embarrassed That People Know You're A JW It's 2 Late
by minimus infor many new witnesses, there was a certain pride associated with being "a jehovah's witness".
they loved telling people they couldn't salute the flag, vote, take blood, have a hangover, have oral sex....you get the idea.
once it dawns on jws how dumb and ridicouolus they sound, it's the beginning of the end.
