"Good news of the kingdom will be preached in all the inhabited earth.."
by Calebs Airplane inquestions from readers.... according to the 8 delusional clowns in the tower, when/how will matthew 24:14 be fulfilled?.
a) when at least 1 person in each country is witnessed to.. b) when at least 51% of the earth's total inhabitants are witnessed to regardless of where they reside or what borders separate them.. c) when they have repeatedly covered the same territories in "christian" countries with enough frequency to compensate for their ineffectiveness in reaching people in "non-christian" countries.. d) when at least 51% of each country's inhabitants obtain internet access thereby allowing them to feast on the spiritual food found only at jw.org.. e) when at least 1 pamphlet is placed in each city on the planet that has 1,000 or more inhabitants.. before i continue, do any of these choices come close to what you've heard from a dub near you?
please do share....

"Vindication" book. 1931- anti female rant. With Scans
by BluesBrother inso "women make monkeys out of men" and the common courtesies of civilised society make a man "effeminate".....and that is enough to have a man barred from the kingdom.... (the kj version uses that word in 1 cor.6.9 but other translations apply it to homosexuality).
mother's day is denounced as a scheme of satan to idolize one's mother at the expense of worship to god!.
now it would be easy to dismiss this baloney as just a rant from jfr, but - this is not just an aside on the back page of a magazine or a small article in the "golden age"...no, it is a main study book and is a serious discussion of the prophetic book ezekiel chapt 13....this was the doctine of the time .. i woder how the 'sisters' reacted?

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.

Ray Franz repeat?
by zound inif one of the current governing body members pulled a ray franz and stepped down/got disfellowshipped then either wrote an expose or something else to go against the watchtower society - would they be forgiven and accepted by the ex-jw community?.
considering they have ray's example behind them i find it more deplorable that they continue in their paths, and personally would find it hard, though not impossible to forgive them - but am interested in everyones opinion....
