Interview with a UBM
by jgnat ini've been meaning to build this survey for some time.
built on simon's great survey template for "apostates", this survey is especially for "unbelieving mates" or simply those who may be dating or falling in love with their jehovah's witness (jw).. if you are interested in my story, the link below will have to do for now:.

"your JW" sounds like they are some sort of pet or captive. Please replace JW with the name of any other group and see how you think it sounds.
The reference should be to "your spouse" or "your partner"
I could not agree more.

AWESOME!
The most over-used, yet mis-used word that I can think of.
There are damned few things in this life that are truly awesome

Meeting for not paying assembly fees???!!!!
by Kool Jo inhey folks......has anyone else heard of, or experienced this before?.
i visited by parents over the weekend and accompanied them to their assembly....same rubbish spoken about since ive been born....obey the gb, donate your last penny, no education and be a pushover.. anyways, our assembly hall has lush vegetation and scenery, so i was more focused on that....i started dozing off after lunch, so got up and went walking, saw some older folks from the congregation i grew up with.. upon the conclusion of the assembly, wed normally leave out right after the prayer ends so as to avoid the traffic.
however, for this assembly he told me that hes gonna be a few minutes with the elders and branch representatives...so a few minutes turned into an hour..

Martin Roll the CEO of Venture Capital wrote this in 2004 about corporate branding (think jw.org), "Today, there is a general requirement for high level of investments to maintain efficient production capabilities and scale in many industries..."
As the WTB&T$ is nothing more than a publishing corporation/industry I would believe that a very large percentage of the money being confiscated in the name of "voluntary" donations is being funneled into the corporate re-branding of the WT. Mr. Roll also wrote a very informative article titled Part II: Ten Steps for Successful Corporate Branding. WTB&T$$ is following it pretty much to a "T".

"Jehovah is really blessing our family! Thanks for your visit"
by stuckinarut2 inso i am being hounded by the elders who are staring to get suspicious about our "slackening off in the truth".
rather than being railroaded or pushed into a defensive or argumentative situation, i am keeping the following comment up my sleeve:.
"jehovah is really blessing our family life.

I found another couple, IMO, excellent statements/questions to use when they start their hounding.
First I say, "Let's look at the Bible, and see what is written there about what you are saying." Usually they will decline, as they do not want to get into any kind of debate they will likely lose. When they decline I ask them, "Don't you respect what the Bible says?" If they answer "Yes', then I continue using the Bible to refute their intrusion into my business. If they say "No" they have effectivcely denied their own beliefs, and I tell them so.

Has anyone actually read the study wt for sun nov 2nd????!!!
by stuckinarut2 ino m g...(yes that is a very childish reaction...but i couldn't think of a more appropriate expression!).
if you haven't yet read it...please do so..... it is so ridiculous!
so leading, so distorted, and full of "bait and switch" techniques.. "prove you have the truth"..by seeing how neutral witnesses were in war times?

RE: Oubliette comment 4357;
Good point. I would add that IF in fact 1% (the figure from 1992) being expelled is relatively few, then it would follow that the roughly 1% being baptized is only relatively few who are joining the cult. If on the other hand as the GB proudly proclaim, that MANY are coming to da troof, then it follows that the same !% being expelled is MANY. Just my two cents.

the accused stayed all night in the same house with a person of the opposite sex (or in the same house with a known homosexual ) under improper circumstances, is acceptable. (Elders manual) not a single scripture, no 2 witnesses, assumes fornication/adultery happens only at night)
What is even more screwed up is that IF the lights are on in general day use areas of the house for the entire night they will not presume that sex happened. I know this first hand.
I remember the old joke that the only sex approved by the GB is Friday night, after the meeting, in the dark, using no hands, and only missionary position. Sadly way to many jdubs feel that same way!
