My story.. as written in 1995
by KenUK inwhilst tidying up the ol' hard drive i came across "the purging of my soul", which i wrote as an intro to the philia group.
sounds very raw (i probably was) and thought i'd share it.... .
where do i start?

WTS BUSTED AGAIN OVER TAX SUBSIDIES FOR CONVENTION
by MadApostate ini am pulling this out of the "subject" thread so more folks can see:.
http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/forum/thread.asp?id=16702&site=3.
big thanks to those activists who worked behind the scenes to get this story published.. this is not one of the locations that i'm personally involved with, but one where others of like mind took the bull by the horns.

Good news!
by mindfield inhi there... as you probably knew (not), i'm no longer a publisher.
however, my brother, even though he never was, and only 14 years old, stills clings to the borg.
or so i thought.. you see, only recently we went to a restaurant, and while me, my brother and 13 year old cousin were eating some good grub, our discussions fell upon *gasp* the jw's.

What does it change really.....
by flower ini'm still me whether the org is a fraud or not.
its too late now to make myself into a different person.
a person is a result of their environment and the way they were brought up.

Rude JW response to a conversation stopper?
by Gopher indid you ever use this response, or know of someone who did?
it's in page 16 of the "reasoning from the scriptures" book.
the "conversation stopper" being addressed is, i'm not interested .. the 7th and final suggested answer for a jw publisher is as follows: is that your usual reply when jehovah's witnesses call?....have you ever wondered why we keep calling or what we have to say?....briefly, the reason is that i know something that you should know too .

The UN Affiliation: Likely Denouement?
by JosephAlward inive found the un affiliation threads very interesting, but ive also expressed the view that this issue will have virtually no effect on jw membership.
i have at least two reasons for believing this.. first, after reading w. j. schnells 1957 book, thirty years a watchtower slave, in which the author describes how the watchtower used negative publicity to increase membership, im now of the opinion that continued commentary on this matter may only serve to foster an even greater conviction on the part of rank and file jws that they are being persecuted, and they will increase their efforts to recruit members; this will offset what i think will be a miniscule number of defections by those who will feel betrayed because of the un affiliation.
the reason why i think there will be few defections is described below.. second, i believe that the watchtower can easily defend itself.
