Did your elders ever anounce the names of inactive publishers?
by carefully faded innew castles recently posted a topic asking if there were any specific comments people made that caused us to question or leave the orgnaization.
this caused me to remember one particiular incident and was wondering if anyone else experienced anything similar.
our service overseer came to our bookstudy and did his routine talk on, "you're not doing enough", "what you are doing isn't quality", "do more, more, more" in the field service.

Is the Bible Just B.S.?
by shamus indo you think that god enjoys killing people?
it sure sounds like it to me; jw doctrine more or less scared me into thinking that god is going to kill all persons whom he/she thinks is not doing his will.
my question is, how can god kill someone for not being "christian", or following the bible out of sheer ignorance?

Would you have to lie to be reinstated if DF'd for something you didn't do?
by True North inif a jw was disfellowshipped for something they didn't do -- perhaps as the result of false or mistaken accusations -- would they have to lie by "admitting" the "sin" to get reinstated.
otherwise, if they refused to admit it, wouldn't they be considered unrepentant?
seems like it could be a sort of catch 22.

Dear Pioneer Couple:
by Atilla inmy parents became dubs in the late 70's, after the 1975 debacle.
admitedly, my mom did have one dub relative on her side of the family but the main reason my parents became dubs was because of one influential and convincing pioneer couple who studied with them.
i know we are all mostly victims of victims but often i think of what if, what if that pioneer couple had never studied with my parents, perhaps i would have had a much better childhood and a better start to my adulthood.
