Don't Accept Witness Rudeness!
by metatron ina lot of what elders ( and others) ask is just plain rude and you should tell.
i've informed elders that 'inquisitions and interrogations are unchristian.
and rude'.. imagine people showing up uninvited at your home, asking questions about your private.

12/15 WT: Blondie, Where Are You?
by Room 215 inblondie,.
too bad you took a week off on you running critique of the weekly ``spiritual meal'' known as the wt study.
this time around you would have learned that jws are cleaner and less profane when using a public facility (stadium) than a pack of rabid football fans... what a revelation!

Reflections (I must be tired or shumpthink)
by Brummie inlast week i visited brummie land and it gave me a lot to think about, in particular my jw grandmother and here is why.
she was born in 1914 and was of the generation that was waiting for the new system to usher in paradise....she waited and waited .
she would have been around when all the bible students were waiting for 1925 to usher in the new system.

Prophetic Poverty and Delicious Torture!
by LDH inwell, kids, it's that time of year again!!!
the time of the year when the rest of the western world slows down just a little, gives thanks for what they have and stops bitching about what they don't have, and thinks of lending a helping hand to their neighbors a little bit more....you get the idea!
i wonder what those knuckleheads the jws will be doing?

moral dilemna
by zanex ini have been df'd for a good long time and have gone/going through the different stages of the healing process but i dont think that i am anywhere to giving up all of my deep-seated anger and hostility that i continue to have.
i have gotten attatched to it, ironically enough.
my moral and maybe somewhat ethical delimmna is: i am in a service provider position and i provide translation services for members of a specific community of interest...problem is that a certain person has come into my focus of the world...an elder.......a great many bones in my body want to manipulate and maneuver his life into the palm of my hand....then crush him.

Some Old Bethel Wisdom
by metatron ini survived years at bethel during a period of great tension - there were lots.
of nervous breakdowns and people suddenly leaving because they couldn't take it anymore.. one lesson that i never forgot is: watch out for the self righteous types - they're.
often the first to flip out.. the rest of us complained and got drunk - chased tail at witness 'get togethers'.

What happened inbetween?
by freedom96 ini used to ask my elder dad: what about those who lived inbetween the bible days, and when the witnesses started?.
the wts teaches that no one will survive unless they are a witness.
they may dance around that issue with a "wordly" person, but, that really is the way they teach.. so we have the people talked about in the bible, and then we go until the very end of the 1800's.

More Statistics - Even more to die at Armageddon!
by eyeslice init comes up time and again in the wts literature and meetings just how jehovah is patient and loving by allowing this system to go on, thus allowing more people to be saved.. but, the figures dont add up.. i know that witnesses dont really believe that baptism is being born again, but on the other hand, it is implied that those who are not baptized are in danger at armageddon.
this was brought out at this years dc, where young ones were urged to "seriously consider getting baptized".. .
i am aware that figures can be made to say anything but in the table below, i have attempted to look at the difference between physical births and "spiritual" births, i.e.
