Defence of watchtower society Links
by reniaa ini thought long and hard before making this thread, that many will not agree with it but i think there needs to be balance and people to realise there are alternate viewpoints out there on many of these subjects, the ones that are most spoke about on this forum.
i was recently sent a full message containing mary's book and these links give the rebuttal to many of her points.
those that are still open-minded enough feel free to look over them even if in the end you still don't agree at least you have heard both the defence as well as the attack as they are on the internet.

"My Kingdom is no Part of this World" - should that preclude voting?
by truthseeker injohn 18:36 .
"jesus answered, my kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that i should not be delivered to the jews: but now is my kingdom not from hence".
if jesus' kingdom is not of this world then christians with an earthly hope would obviously not be part of jesus' heavenly kingdom.. could this perhaps be a new perspective on the issue of voting or remaining separate from this world.. think about it.. jw's teach there are two classes of christians - those with an earthly hope and those with a heavenly hope.. .

Ex-JWs Recieving More Attention from the Catholic Community?
by cognac injust got this in my email.
exjws&friends: rome to engage exjws & jws more; will brci?, sixscreens etc according to the "catholic news service," ex-jehovah's witnesses will be receiving more attention from the catholic community, and catholics themselves may become more educated about watchtower society/jw misteachings: http://www.catholicnews.com/data/stories/cns/0805537.htm it would appear that now-catholic, ex-jws have been holding dialog directly with the pope or some archbishops.
in the past some baptists have put at least a little more or nominal emphasis in these same areas.

Did Your District Conventions Have A Meat Market?
by Jeremy C ini was recently thinking back upon some of my unusual memories of being in the organization.
one of them was of the dodger stadium "meat market".. we used to attend our district conventions at dodger stadium in los angeles.
for those of you who arent familiar with the stadium, dodger stadium has a very large level with blue seats - which is the largest level within the stadium.

How will the Society prepare JWs when they call on inactive apostates?
by truthseeker ina critical mass of exjws is gradually being reached.
perhaps eventually, there might be several in each town.. inevitably, faithful witnesses will call on these ones, unsuspecting of who they are, what they believe and such prepared demonstration of "how to place the magazines" will not go down well.. reading the many experiences here, for the most part, many exjws try to plant a seed in the mind of the witnesses.. this seed may be discussed with other members of the car group.
the conversation may go nowhere, but a seed has been planted and someone or something will keep on making it grow.. thus spread the seeds of doubt and discontent.. it's the converted preaching to the unconverted who in turn witness to the converted.. the society have a real mess on their hands - exjws are no longer an unknown quantity, a fringe element.
