i saw an abc news report yesterday on bill clintons efforts to help poor farmers in malawi. i had a jw flashback to the seventies when i was taught to end every prayer with "and please help and protect our brothers and sisters in malawi". it felt like a vietnam flashback! chills and goose bumps and the same suffocating feeling i had all through my youth!

I remeber the articles on the persecution in Malawi when I was a kid. I especially recall an incident where they tied a brick around a brothers testicles and made him walk around. Ouch! After reading in CoC the information on the Malawi/Mexico discrepancy it really made me feel for these people. The Society made them suffer for nothing! JK

I remember hearing about how devoted the brothers and sisters of Uganda were

I recently saw The last king of Scotland, and I thought about how many poor people lost their lives for the borg.

The WT Society created this persecution to invent a phantom "cause" around which rank-and-file Jehovah's Witnesses would rally, increasing their emotional ties and devotion to the Society.

The same WT Society that made their Malawi brothers suffer for a supposed "principle" is the same one that later attached itself to the UN as a Non-Governmental Organization after teaching the UN was the Devil's tool. Where is the principle in that?

Here was a classic case of mysticism. The Puketower Society created a problem where none needed to exist, for the Malawians. It is true that the government created a problem by forcing people to buy the party card. But it was only 25 cents, and there was only one party. This is about like buying a registration and license for your automobile (that costs a whole lot more than a quarter).

So what does the Puketower do? They forbid the members from purchasing that card! In doing so, that created problems where none needed to exist. There was only one party, so it could have been treated as a tax or paying Caeser's things to Caeser. Then it would have been no big deal, though a quarter would have been spent on the government. We waste more than that every day on taxes to pay for the Federal Reserve system, and that is just as bad if not worse.

Of course, the Tower had to do things the hard way. They created a problem for the Witlesses living there by forbidding them from buying the card. They misused the scripture about the mark of the Beast, and made buying a card amount to an act of worship to the government. In doing so, they subjected the people to unnecessary suffering. People were tortured in many ways. Property was destroyed, and people were even killed for some a**holes in Brooklyn, New York, USA telling them that they could not buy that damn 25-cent card.

Then they have the audacity to allow people to cheat on military service in Mexico. People would accept a forged certificate of service in exchange for a bribe, that was far higher than a quarter. This, to me, amounted to fraud, in addition to buying the party card. In Malawi, there was no fraud involved in those who bought the card--in Mexico, there was. And worse, they joined the United Nations in 1991 after spending most of the century demonizing them. None of the Malawians did anything like that!

It seems that the Puketower Society is excellent in one thing: creating problems where none needed to exist. The UN situation did not entail persecution, just access to a stupid library card and they went along with that. No lives were at stake. Why couldn't they have taken the cue from Malawi and reasoned that, if those people had to endure severe persecution and death for a party card, that the Tower should do without those "important" documents or use Satan's internet to get it and not join the United Nations? Or maybe they intend to set up their Kingdumb worldwide and usurp the whole world by means of force?

The false prophecies made me mad.

The disfellowshipping (destruction of families) pissed me off.

The pedophile cover up enraged me.

The Malawi situation has filled me with hate for those bastards.

Best qoute ever from my Mom about the Malawi/Mexico situation:

"The influence that the society had was only that they sent missionaries to teach them what the Bible says (John 17:15,16) They were acting on what the Bible said to them. They were like the Boereans who did their own Bible reading and acted on what they read."

Pfffftt that is what the society is trying to peddle as an excuse. "we had nothing to do with it at all it was all them! They are allowed to interpret the scriptures as they please!".

AWAKE&WATCHING

Yeah, that sounds about right. If we don't believe their B.S. they disfellowship us and if we believe their false prophecies and interpretations it's our fault.

Idiots !
