  They've learned some of their lessons from the 1975 fiasco
  So true LT.... My heart goes out to all the faithful followers of the Borg. I would have sat there(KH) & read this & thought how loving the Brothers are to make way for us to stay safe. That is when my mind & eyes were blinded ....I shall continue to pray for all those I left behind, in Bondage ,Paul did it for the Jews I do it for the JWs. Poor souls.....!!!!! God I wish the walls of this cult would fall. So many sufferers.
  My heart aches for them. My kid is there ....

  Sparky..The sad thing is 98% of JW`s won`t give a sh*t..The ones that do,will be told to shut the f*ck up!..It`s "New Light"!..Is`nt it a loving arrangement when WBT$ shares New Light with it`s band of willing morons!..Jehovah`s Witness`s that died in Malowi have the hope of a ressurection in the "New System",so everything is just fine.The WBT$ says so.....Stick your Fingers in your ears and repeat the Jehovah`s Witness Mantra.....OUTLAW

  Give the appearance of compromising your godly principles publicly while standing firm for pure standards of worship privately.......

  Now that is a bass-ackwards policy if ever I've seen one.

  If you were with a group of rapists you go through humping motions as long as you didn't penetrate, I suppose.

  These people are ethically clueless.

  good analogy.

  hopefully the ''you'' wasnt refering to me, but to the R&F in general.

  Just because I wrote what I think the GB/Society was saying, doesnt mean that I am in agreement with them... just wanted to make that clear. ~found

  The new light from jehovah apparently came too late for many that suffered dearly because of not voting, others suffered for not undertaking an alternative to military service before this rule changed.

  Yes, Jehovah is sure slow finding that flashlight.

  Jehovah` Witness`s that died in Malowi have the hope of a ressurection in the New System.So everything is just fine.

  And that is what burns me up... That is precicely the thinking that gets me. Who are we to question. The dead are in no pain. They are in a better place...etc...etc...

  My uncles and other relatives were Witnesses during WWII. During that time it was illegal in the U.S. to speak against serving in the Armed Forces. Therefore, none of the instructions for "counseling" young men about the draft or enlistment were written and archived. Enlistment in the armed forces was said to be a matter of individual conscience.

  In reality, any person who enlisted in the armed forces was immediately considered to have "disassociated" themselves from the organization.

  So the conscience thing was all smoke and mirrors.

  There are written rules, and there are unwritten rules. In most circumstances, the unwritten rules are the REAL ones.

  Could someone post the Aug. 15, 1998 Watchtower par. 6-9? I think that would be the feces-smeared explanation given to those "grumbling" about this nauseating develpoment. I'd do it myself if I knew how.

  Thanks,

  Times have changed. If whole countries can change and whole regimes can fall and customs can end and the world around the JW's can grow up..why oh why can't they? It is not so damn hard to say...We were wrong. We like anyone else do not have all the answers, but we do strive to serve God the best we can, we have a lot of healing to do, and we will provide the best resourses we can to do this.

  There is more chance of John Barr taking down his trousers at morning worship and licking his own @rse, whilst showing off a madonna tattoo emplazoned on his plodder, than the above happening.

  I missed this. And I had to giggle...Thanks for breaking my mad streak. I was about ready to windex this house off the map. (I clean when mad)

  That is so true.
