Infidelity amongst JWs
by YellowLab indoes there seem to be a higher incidence of infidelity amongst the jws?.
my brother, who is an active jw and ministerial servant, has an elder friend who was recently disfellowshipped for having an affair with another sister in the hall.
it turns out this sister was divorced a few years earlier from a "worldly" man who had an affair on her.

Most Annoying "Kingdom song?"
by doodle-v inwhat's a kingdom song you can remember singing that gives you the creeps now?
mine is "move ahead" i think that was the title, anyway it has so much rhetoric... but the tune is so darn catchy.... darn.... in my opinion, those songs are the perfect example of mind control.

Man kills seven, himself at church service -- beliefs identical to WTS
by YellowLab inback on march 12th, a 44-year old man in wisconsin walked into a church service and shot & killed seven members, including himself.
the story had made national news.
the article below from the milwaukee journal/sentinel specifically talks about the church he was involved in, namely the worldwide church of god.. my reason for posting this article is this church's striking resemblance to the wts teachings.

Are the magazines losing their appeal?
by truthseeker indo you think the mags are losing their appeal at the doors these days?.
i mean, if you have the internet and wanted to learn about a particular beetle, recipe or how to cook rice, you could look it up on the web right?.
if you wanted to learn about brightly colored birds and fish, you could go to google.com.

JWs and materialism
by YellowLab inbeen out of the "truth" for nine years now, with many family members and relatives still in.
while i was in, we were taught to be humble and put jehovah first in your life.
meetings, study and service were the most essential parts of being a jw.
