« Previous EntriesA Reaction To “‘Mentally Diseased’ and Politcal Correctness.”
Sunday, November 6th, 2011The web site that published “‘Mentally Diseased’” and Political Correctness” is called Sheep and Goats. It appears to be written by one of Jehovah’s Witnesses. It’s meant to defend the Watchtower Society against critics who dislike the organization’s recent use of the term “mentally diseased” when describing those it deems to be apostates. Here are [...]
Are Ex-Jehovah’s Witnesses Just “Mentally Diseased?”
Friday, October 28th, 2011The Watchtower magazine turned a lot of heads when it wrote that apostates of Jehovah’s Witnesses are “mentally diseased.” We ex-Witnesses have sure taken notice. So have authorities in the U.K. This brings up a few issues. First, was the Society saying that all ex-Witnesses are mentally diseased? Second, is this a new level of [...]
What’s The Biggest Reason Why Jehovah’s Witnesses Disapprove Of Ex-Witnesses?
Monday, August 1st, 2011Many ex-Jehovah’s Witnesses have tried to justify their reasons for leaving the Watchtower Society to friends and family who are still loyal Jehovah’s Witnesses.

Screw The Podcast: Here’s A PDF Of My Essay Instead
Friday, November 26th, 2010After plugging away on my little essay for some time now, I had hoped to turn it into a podcast that readers could download and listen to. I had even hoped to enlist one or two other ex-Witnesses to help read a few of the parts. (I asked Moxie about that a while ago via [...]
The Watchtower Society’s Writing Style: Their Literature’s Most Effective Techniques
Saturday, October 16th, 2010All ex-Jehovah’s Witnesses know that the Watchtower Society is more than a religious organization. It’s also a publisher of books and magazines,1 which are–for all intents and purposes–a central part of worship for Jehovah’s Witnesses. The Society uses its literature to hand out its spiritual food (“the truth”) to its adherents, including counsel from the [...]
