  an update on my life post education..... as the governing body continue to denounce higher education, reality continues to prove their words ignorant, ill informed and blatant lies.

  i am proud and astonished to say i have just been accepted for a university teaching hospital post.

  i have a seriously sought after, senior house officer job in intensive care, endocrinology and clinical pharmacology.

  Crisis of Conscience republished and on Kindle

  hi guys.

  sorry if this has been mentioned before... i haven't visited this forum in a while.. i've noticed that crisis of conscience is no longer ridiculously expensive on amazon.co.uk (now 9.38), and they have a kindle version which is even cheaper (6.84 - http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/b00bqou5rc).

  unfortunately the publisher did an absolutely useless job of formatting the kindle version.

  Simon -

  What do you mean when you say - 'formatting is incidental to the content?

  Can ebooks be purchased by one person and sent as a gift to another? will a computer work as a kindle?

  Thanks - Gone

  CANADA | Toronto Star | May 3, 2013 - Jehovah's Witnesses: Kindness is an act of grace - not an obligation

  who should be responsible for financially supporting jehovah's witnesses, who put misguided faith in the failed 1975 "end-of-the-world" predictions, and went full-time preaching without any consideration for retirement many years later?.

  kindness is an act of grace not an obligationare successful brothers ethically required to help aging moneyless sister?

  Toronto Star readers are fortunate indeed to have Ken Gallinger column 'Ethically speaking'

  Not a self-serving celebrity poser, nor WT style manipulation - just do the right things for the right reasons.

  JWs would do well to consult his column as a contrast to WTs fake 'theocratic ethics'.

  Pterist -

  I always enjoy your posts, especially in a topic such as this one - where your learned views of historic doctrines can be compared

  directly with the writhing, evolving dogma of Jwitnesses - so Thanks!

  a watcher -

  I forsee 12,000 plus interesting JW funerals on the horizon . The knee-jerk response to an increasing number of 'annointed'TM was to discredit their claim as though they were mentally unstable.

  Now however, it seems that a noble and fulfilling heavenly calling awaits as many as care to partake of the wine and bread, and thus claim one of the two heavenly callings, no?

  Browse in a bookshop in Tokugawa Japan

  during the 268 years (approx) of rule by a military dictatorship in japan (approx.1600 to 1868) japan developed a growing, prosperous middle class and a proto-modernity that enabled the quick conversion to western modernity in the late 19th century.

  a feature of the era was a growing book publishing industry.

  people could make a living as authors, artists/illustrators, printers and selling books.

  The Loss Of Power and the Return Of The Angry White Man, 1960-1980

  by designs in

  1. social
  2. current

  author tom magstadt phd.

  who has written among other works- 'an empire if you can keep it' has been chronicling american trends for decades.. 'angry white guys: the roots of reactionary america' explores a specific period in american history, 1960-1980, the defeat of richard nixon to the election of ronald reagan.

  he takes as a contrast the cities of nagasaki and hiroshima, which were destroyed by nuclear bombs, and now thrive a industiral centers to cities like detroit which are on the verge of bankruptcy and asks- why.. the era of ike eisenhower seems tame and agreeable (if one ignors the racial subjugation) and seen through the author's eyes as one where democrats and republicans got along.

  BUILD IT AND THEY WILL COME.....let's rebuild!

  okay we've all beat our chest, lamented and throttled the dead horse of aawa.. time to move on!.

  i suggest those of us on j-w.n who care about creating something the right way take the trouble to get the framework going.. let's do the grunt work and get the nattering, debates, naming and organizing already pre-approved so that "others" who have the talent, ability, motivation and resources can move in and turn the key!.

  because it was not done before.. there is more wisdom on this discussion board in our vast numbers than there could possibly be in a virtual boardroom with 8 people brain-storming.. that isn't an insult--it is just a statistical fact!.

  I used to be a JW -- but I'm alright now!

  Self-righteous? Delusional? -- you'll love the Kingdom Hall

  Cults shoot their weak -- just like Jehovahs Witnesses (pic of SHUN GUN)

  1914-2014 new light grows dim

  Science and Jehovahs Witnesses? -- I don't THINK so

  Governing Body --- the NEXT world power

  JWs want YOUR house and car -- the Watchtower just wants your MONEY

  Jehovahs Witnesses -- forget Jesus, we've got the GB

  JW Bible Study this week -- How to SHUN your friends and family

  ''Why, Jehovahs Witnesses are the THINKINGEST people on earth''

  Mommy, why is Jehovah going to kill everyone? -- ..because the Watchtower sez so..

  Mommy.. who is Jesus? -- ..oh, he was some mediator guy before the Governing Body

  Watchtower education -- teaching the deaf to masturbate

  Do we have to go door to door again today? ...you want a shepherding call?,, is that what you want?

  No one in our free family will utter the abhorent phrase ''...the truth...'' in regards to the watchtower cult.

  I have a great distaste for the term ''TTATT'' likewise. Watchtower/Jehovahs Witnesses and the word TRUTH should not be found

  in the same sentence. They have dogma, interpretations, works, meetings, books, and real estate but not anything as valuable as truth.

  Remember the story about the resistance / activist boy who was 'shot'/marked by the authorities, with a colorful, permanent indelible dye?

  Non lethal, but they only had to wait until he finally showed himself, to be arrested and dealt-with at their liesure.

  When his village realized his identity had been compromised, they did the only thing possible - they ALL DYED THEMSELVES the same color,

  making it impossible to target any individual.

  Too bad thousands more names weren't added to that page. A few elderettes, some pioneers, some real ass kissers, that hounding

  elder and of course, a CO and GB member, would really make for a good international witch-hunt. Think of the paranoia .... ahhh damn...

  The evils of facebook could have been a wonderful asset...

  While I am embarrassed for those good souls who may have unwittingly contributed to a stressful situation, I am positively ASHAMED of the

  abusive , selfrighteous scorn and condemnation that seems to lend purpose to some mean, small spirits among us.

  I hope AAWA makes a complete recovery, and presses on with their mission to help the legions screwed over by the WTS. I am not going to burn

  the barn because the roof leaked .
