Six Million Can't be Wrong .... part II
by robhic inas a non-jw, i read with interest and amusement the thread "six million jws can't be wrong..." thread.
all great posts but as i was digesting them a thought occurred to me: the jw position is self-contradicting.
i know that's probably not a surprise to ex-jws, but i found it amusing.

June 6, 2006 Why be worried?
by robhic inon may 5, 2005 the thought occured to me: it's 05/05/05.
now, next year do you think jws -- and/or all fundamentalist groups, etc -- will be anticipating or freak out on june 6, 2006?
it'll be 06/06/06 or, more diabolically extrapolated (as they do so well...), 666!!!

What if....?
by robhic ini started this after reading jeanniebeanz's thread about reading the bible and it making her more skeptical.
the same thing happened to me after reading it through.
how could i or anyone have ever been so controlled in so many aspects of life by this fairy tale?

Emphasis on Jesus
by robhic inwith my jw girlfriend still in the hospital, a lot of the jws from her congregation visit.
(that surprises me in itself.
) they inevitably leave literature for whatever reason.

Interesting (at least it was to me...)
by robhic inyesterday i answered a knock on the door and found 2 well-dressed men who were obviously jws.
they told me they were in the neighborhood and wanted to share some scriptures with me.
ok, i've heard that little smoke screen before.

I just don't get it
by robhic inmy poor jw girlfriend is in the hospital with some seizures and other related neurological problems.
she is heavily sedated, partially restrained, is generally "out of it", has no attention-span and her short-term memory is about 1-2 minutes sometimes.. now, much to their credit, some from her congregation and even an older elder (is that redundant?
) which, from the horror stories i've read here makes him an exception, visit regularly.

"Draw Close to Jehovah"
by robhic inmy jw girlfriend (i know that's a topic in and of itself) is sick and confined to bed.
yesterday a pioneer lady dropped by with a bunch of magazines and an eight audio cassette tape library of the same name as the title to this thread.
eight tapes in a special, titled, plastic folder/binder to hold them?

Significant or not?
by robhic inmy jw girlfriend missed the recent (july or august) dc due to illness.
after she had had a visit by one of her friends who had gone to the convention i noticed a blank name tag on a table.
the visitor had left it for her as, i guess, as souvenier.
