I agree, I remember coming to a similar conclusion about asking questions. Chapter 1 of the Bible Teach book encourages students to ask questions, but low and behold if a JW questions doctrine they are an apostate. Total deception.

The WT's biggest deception?
by BU2B init just dawned on me that one of if not the most deceptive thing that the wt convinces the members of is that the truth does not stand up to investigation.
they teach that lies trump truth.
the reality of course is something entirely different.

No one has suggested Liverpool. It's famous for the Beatles and football has lovely beaches, and fabulous architecture. Kate xx

Brave Ex Elder sues over defamation over fraud claims.
by Slidin Fast inthis looks interesting, this guy is bringing the right to family life into his case.
many have thought of doing this.
maybe a good test case.. http://www.standard.co.uk/news/jehovahs-witness-sues-for-150000-after-church-snubbed-him-over-fraud-claims-9750062.html.

For deformation of character case to get into national papers and into court is an achievement. As far as the innocence of fraud is concerned that's a separate matter.
I hope this gets more press.

Nice find, thanks for the pics. This is more evidence that WT is not united in worship and some can do things others cannot and get DF'd for. Kate xx

Do the Governing Body believe their own teachings or know it's a lie? Are they atheists?
by BucketShopBill inthe new young blood gb member, you think he really thinks this is the truth or is he protecting his financial interest like all the older gb members who enjoy basking in glory of men?
do you think they believe in the "over-lapping generation" or was that a mistake done by barr?.
how much of the watchtower and the bible do the governing body know, ray franz jr. said he was not impressed with their bible knowledge and their lack of knowledge of the watchtower cannon.

I don't think the GB truly believe in the power of holy spirit because they vote and change things if there is a 2/3 majority. That is relying on their own man made descisions, if they relied on God they wouldn't vote. They enjoy their life style and try and convince themselves it's Jehovah's blessing.
With the amount of letters wirtten to all the Bethels around the world there is no way the GB think it's all real, no way.

Saturday morning field service is a joke
by hoser ini havent been going door to door saturday mornings for since i can't remember when.
i have been putting in regular reports to the congregation but the last time i actually went on a door was probably six months ago or so and it has been at least 2 years since i did a saturday morning.
9:30 we showed up to the group arrangement, we waited outside because we were not sure that it was the right place.

I feel so out of place. I had five students the day I got Df'd. FS was everything to me, I was really zealous and used to approach anyone and everyone. I went on all my return visits and even turned some into regular bible studies. JWs used to just say to me... "I am no good at the ministry". I used to work with all ranges of publishers and did not have regular partners.
I really believed I was doing a worthwhile work, it was only until I got DF'd I could understand why so many JWs are so apethetic in FS.
I was converted and was always zealous as soon as I qualified to preach.

Why do you come here?
by love2Bworldly ini come here to learn, but i also come here because it feels like a private club and i'm privy to be a member of the "in" crowd.
it's a great place to socialize.
does anyone else feel that they are a member of a special "club" when they come here, that only some people in this world will understand the jw world?.

There are also some that come here to proselytise and preach their version of "truth". Kate xx

No more literature counters?
by konceptual99 inthere is a thread on jwtalk suggesting that the latest hall designs do not feature a literature desk.
the dubs will pick up gear from a self serve kiosk in the hall, just enough for their immediate needs.. time will tell if this is true but if so then it relfects the reducing emphasis on printed material.
also, i think there is another by product.

We all know how the congregations are suffering from a lack of desire to reach out. I am not saying this the is thinking but anything that means you need less willing volunteers...- K99
In the two congs I was in there were plenty of brothers reaching out, there were actually held back by slef important and self righteuous elders. There were of course the usual ones who were on the fringes of the Org who didn't care less, but in the main they were all trying to reach out and chasing the proverbial dangling carrot.
I think this is just a cost cutting excersise, it will certainly reduce printing costs. They have already reduced the costs by stopping some regular articles and have JWs print them off themselves from the featured articles on the website, hence increasing the cost to the publishers / members. This raised my eyebrows when it first happened.
