It's About INVENTORY, Stupid!
by Farkel inin 1940, former zone servant harvey h. fink wrote that the wts was "set up by presumptous men whose interest in spite of their pretenses to the contray, is primarily selling books for revenue.." and that the wts demanded that books containing outdated doctrine would still "be sold to the people very definitely, because it wanted to get the revenue out of them in spite of the errors it willing admitted they contained.
strong words, indeed.
is the wts so currupt and greedy that they would knowlingly make their membership buy and sell books that contained admitted false prophecies and outdated doctrines?

What Do You Call Calling on a Do Not Call?
by ezekiel3 init is a little known policy outside jws that all you have to do to stop jws from coming to your door is to be put on the "do not call" list.
this is a record that is attached to the back of every territory card (a map section assigned to jw members) and carefully avoided by jws in future visits in your neighborhood.
to make sure that the list is valid and up-to-date, it is procedure for an elder (usually the service overseer) to call on these addresses at least once per year to verify that the resident still does not want visits.

Observing the Sabbath
by azaria ina while ago my mother mentioned not observing the sabbath which surprised me.. ray franz also mentions it in his book coc.
one day while reading my bible i came across these verses.
hebrews 4:1 therefore, since the promise of entering his rest still stands, let us be careful that none of you be found to have fallen short of it.

How do you interact with your worldly relatives?
by pratt1 in.
now that i am no longer a jw, i can associate, and celebrate holidays and other family traditions with my non-jw relatives.
however i am sometimes bitter because i missed so many experiences as a child with my relatives that they seem almost like strangers rather than relatives.. does anyone else feel this way, and how have you bridged the gap?

Internet...the best revenge against the Watchtower
by DevonMcBride infor over 100 years the watchtower was used to getting their way.
they had complete control over their faithful members and those who left had no voice to speak out.
the law was on their side protecting their teachings.

Turn away from these wicked ways!
by Proud Witness inwell as you would have guessed from my name, i am a proud witness and i feel obliged to preach to you about the promises that our wonderful creator, jehovah god, has promised each and every one of us, of any race or background.
i know that you already know what he has told us through his word, but i am curious to wonder why you have chosen to jump off the narrow road which leads to everlasting life.
is it because you have had a bad experience in god's organization?
