  Watchtower "Newspeak" Self Defeating

  by metatron in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  in our search to understand the true nature of the watchtower,.

  it is likely that many of us consulted orwell's "1984".. in that book, one important component of big brother's rule is the.

  use of "newspeak".

  2. friends

  last night on one of the entertainment magazines shows they said that michael jackson just gave an interview to tv guide.

  in it he says he is still a jw and still goes door to door in disguise.

  i had heard a rumour recently that he still donated a lot of money to the society but had no clue he still claimed to be one.

  WERE JW'S REALLY INVOLVED @GROUND ZERO?

  by crittersitter in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  my currently devout jw sis told me how "proud" she was of the bro's at the wtc and how they fed , and comforted all those ppl...this told at the meetings i suppose.

  or was this just spin?

  i think i read (was it here) that the doors of hq got locked up so outsiders could not come in..... did they really get involved" or was it enuff to make them look good?.

  What do you drive and why?

  by Escargot in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  well, a post on the good ol days got me thinking about the vehicles people drive and why.

  in the jws, a vehicle had to be appropriate for service, four doors, holding at least five.

  i remember back in 1978 i bought an mgb and the brothers had a fit (hehe), i was selfish, etc.,.

  How the JWs helped me

  by larc in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  all of us have had negative experiences as a result of leaving the witnesses, some much worse than others.

  many here, have expressed a bitterness and an anger over loosing so many "wasted" years.

  while these are natural feelings, i think there are several positives we can dwell on as well.

  i have not followed very many threads of late, so if someone has already made the same observations i'm about to make, i apologize for my redundancy.. .

  i admit it: i'm part of a highly secretive, highly elite group.

  What Is Your "TRUE " JWD Personality?

  by Ranchette in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  a lot of us have gotten a kick out of those online personality tests.. we have also seen threads started from time to time that ask the question, why are you here?.

  it would be good from time to time to ask our some questions and do some self-analization.. now we have a tool we can use to see if we are being honest with others and ourselves.. click on members at the top of the page and check on your self from time to time.. are we a positive influence or a negative one?.

  if you think your not interested or dont care thats fine but dont be shocked when your past history comes and bites you on the ass.. i am glad to have this tool now so i can self regulate myself and can also use it to find out if a person is being honest,or basically up to no good.. i think we will see a little of every thing here.. some types i notice without even looking are,.
