What would it take?
by cynicus inin view of the jw reactions on items such as the ngo thing, harbouring child molesters, it made me wonder about what it would take for the average jw to really grasp that the gb, the org and lots of its doctrine is not what it claims to be.. personally i've experienced that after a longwinded argument with an elder about the validity of the 1914 doctrine, he eventually agreed that it wasn't as solid as he thought and that it could be incorrect.
did he see the light (or its absence)?
interestingly enough, he immediately added that even if all this were true/untrue, it would not invalidate his loyalty to the org & gb.

Time Waster...
by closer2fine inthis is really cool, if you have nothing better to do.
think of a dictator or tv sit-com character, and answer all the questions as if you were that character.
the system will figure out who you are.

If You Could Up The Tempo A Little What.......
by Englishman ini understand that for the last couple of decades it has become wt policy for local congregations to sing kingdom songs to recorded music.. now, apart from the awful uniformity and the squishing of individual musical inventiveness, this strikes me as another attempt by the wtbts to numb the publishers mind with banal hawaiian style paradise tunes.
no more an elderly sister treadling an ancient harmonium, bye bye li'l schoolgirl squeakily playing her recorder, ta ta to the teenage guitarist strumming a, g and d to every melody as the congregation gamely sang tunelessly on.. so, just for fun, i was thinking, wouldn't it be hilarious if we could switch the tape / cd / record just as bart simpson switched the church organists music to "in the garden of eden, baby" in a recent programme.. what song would you like to be broadcast over the pa system, bearing in mind that you would only have a few seconds before your efforts at sabotage would be rumbled?.
i've though about it for a while, and i would love to have the venga boys played to the congregation.. the title is, of course, "sex on the beach".
