I had a chance to share some of the truth about the lie with my sister!
by seeitallclearlynow inyou may remember i had started a thread about those of you who had been pioneers before discovering the truth about the watchtower.
i was concerned about helping my 25-year pioneer sister to see the true light, as it were.
well, she's been visiting for about a week and a half, and i finally got to talk to her about a few things.... .

Will there be winter in the new system?
by Atilla inso much snow this winter, but it reminds me of the silly conversations we would have out in service about conditions in the new system.
this one guy, who thought he knew everything because he had been to bethel and had been pioneering since the 9th grade, was positive that there would be no winter in the new system.
his reasoning was that since the whole earth would be made into a paradise with perfect conditions, there would be no real cold places like russia or even central pennsylvania.

Are Jehovah's Witnesses becoming a brand name?
by truthseeker inever since the society split into 3 corporations back in october 2000, it seems to me that the phrase "published by jehovah's witnesses" is appearing on almost every publication they produce, as opposed to the old "watchtower bible & tract society of pennsylvania".
last week, i was looking on the back of the new "learn from the great teacher" cd folder.
it suddenly occured to me, that this religion really is a business.

The number of XJWs... Reaching a "Critical Mass"?
by Elsewhere inthe way the wts maintains control over members is through the threat of shunning... loosing one's family and friends.. it seems that i am hearing more and more stories of jws talking to xjws... this poses and interesting question: are there so many xjws that the average jw is running out of jws in good standing to talk to?
are they starting to view drifters, dfs, and das as people they can talk to (so long as the elders don't find out)?.
recently i've been in contact with some people i grew up with... they have drifted away but still maintain contact with friends and family in the wts.. .

Dropped two bombs on jw mom....
by imallgrowedup inmy jw mom sent me the same press release that was circulating on the board last week regarding a radical group who was trying to get religion and national borders abolished through the un.
(see http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/14/65705/1.ashx if you didn't see the press release).
anyway, there was no commentary from her in the e-mail, which says to me that this is a "silent warning" to become a dub before i die in armageddon.
