Religious Hypocrisy Condemned - WT Study Article week of July 8-14, 2013
by Oubliette inoh, the irony!
the attitude and conduct of true christians stand in sharp contrast with the mere outward show of godly devotion of those whose worship is often no more than a hypocritical ploy.
some religious leaders have become wealthy by defrauding their flocks, using much of the money thus obtained to acquire expensive homes and automobiles.

WT ASL (Sign Language) Masturbation Video - Got Links?
by Oubliette inan associate of mine, never a jw but curious for professional reasons, heard about the now infamous wt asl masturbation video and wanted to see it for himself.
i have searched the jw.org website and the society has apparently pulled (pun intended) the video.
in fact, all the asl videos appear to have been removed.

IS YOUR TEACHING UP-TO-DATE? - (WT Study Article for June 3-9, 2013)
by Oubliette inin the watchtower study article for last week, june 3rd - 9th, 2013, the congregation was asked the question, "is your teaching up-to-date?".
there was a box on the top of page 9 that asked three questions allowing everyone to test themselves and find out if they had "up-to-date" and "accurate knowledge" in keeping with the "the ever-increasing light" as revealed through the pages of the watchtower magazine and related publications.
now at first blush this all sounds really good, but is it?

MUST READ: Books for Young JWs - a Required Reading List
by Oubliette ini've been contemplating a list of works of fiction that should be read by every young jehovah's witness, (12 - 18 years old).
the goal is to plant seeds of truth and critical thinking skills which could ultimately invoking cognitive dissonance and help them wake up to the truth about "the truth" (ttatt).
my idea is an adaptation of steven hassan's approach of not attacking a cult members beliefs directly, but rather indirectly by getting them to look at other similar belief systems and social structures, in this case fictional ones that mirror many of the destructive, oppressive features of jehovah's witnesses.

NEW LIGHT: The WT Leadership has been wrong about their own identity for the last 93 years!
by Oubliette inso by now, we all know about the "new light" concerning the "faithful and discreet slave" class being the governing body and just the governing body.
other "anointed ones" need not apply.
you've been summarily kicked to the curb.
