By Cynthia Hampton For several years I have been honored to coordinate and moderate a Jehovah’s Witness support group based in Los Angeles and San Jose, California. Our group stays in touch by using the Yahoo!Groups email system and through our ExJWsLosAngeles.org website. I recently received the following question from a non-member of the group [...]

By the Editor Within the next few days, millions of people in the western world will celebrate Christmas, followed a week later by the New Year. In most countries, Christmas comes on December 25, but in a few (mostly those located in Eastern Europe and Asia Minor) Christmas comes on January 7. This difference is [...]
The Finished Mystery – the book Jesus approved
April 5th, 2011, No Comments
By “Alfred” A few months ago a friend sent me a copy of The Finished Mystery – published in 1917. This wasn’t a PDF download, but an actual copy of the book. I must say that this was the most disturbing book I’ve ever had the displeasure of reading. But I read it because this [...]
Watchtower forgets that “Content is King”
February 25th, 2011, 1 Comment
Adapted from a post by “LostGeneration” “Content is King” is a popular guideline to follow for those who run websites and mass communication outlets. It makes perfect sense, as demonstrated by sites like Jehovahs-Witness.net (and this one) that provide entertaining content for their targeted audiences. Even better, when content is added daily, users return repeatedly. [...]
Watchtower’s Pecking Order
February 22nd, 2011, 2 Comments
Over the history of the Watchtower, the leaders have defined so many levels and rankings that now they’ve given up trying to use the word “classes” to describe them anymore. Let me help you understand how the organization is supposed to work.
Disfellowshipping – who’s at fault?
February 9th, 2011, 2 Comments
By Len Miller The announcement, “John (or Mary) Doe is no longer one of Jehovah’s Witnesses,” is repeated some 70,000 times each year in Kingdom Halls throughout the world. The Watchtower Society wants its followers to believe that these individuals became so unrepentantly contaminated with evil that it became necessary to remove them from association with [...]
A letter to the Watchtower
January 23rd, 2011, 6 Comments
By “AA” Editor’s Note: This is a copy of “AA’s” letter to the Watchtower. He wrote this when he had just started his intensive research into their beliefs and history. He never received a reply back from anyone at headquarters (he says it might have been because he didn’t include “Attn: Writing Committee” when he [...]

“Dubs for Dummies”
December 31st, 2010, No Comments
By “Farkel” Dear Brothers and Sisters in the Worldwide Brotherhood of Jehovah’s Witnesses™, There has been much public interest in our beliefs lately, so we have prepared a very brief summary of our core beliefs in a new pamphlet which you may offer to interested persons. Hopefully, this pamphlet will generate enough interest with honest-hearted [...]
Douglas’s Story
December 15th, 2010, No Comments
By Gordon Smith As ill-luck would have it, I was born in 1964 to an unyielding Witness father who, as I was to discover, was intent on proving himself to be more holy than Swiss cheese. If that weren’t enough to be getting on with, my two older siblings and I regularly suffered the effects [...]
