    I suspect that you have entrusted a few "spiritually minded," "faithful" brothers to quietly monitor the so-called "Apostate" websites in order to do damage control later on via the form of "new light."

    Well obviously the development of the internet has been a tremendous thorn in your collective side. Guess what! The internet is here to stay and everyday more and more people are logging on to do everything from shopping to academic research. The proverbial genie is out of the bottle and Pandora's box has had the lid blasted off with dynamite.

    Every JW out there who even has one smattering of doubt or curiosity will eventually find an "apostate" video or webpage. It's inevitable.

    Since your writers love to use illustrations so much, I'll use the analogy of a seed. After all, you yourselves use the seed analogy when illustrating the preaching work.

    Even if they're a properly brainwashed and indoctrinated good JW, all they have to see is a few things that are easily researched and verifiable to plant a tiny little seed of doubt. Maybe it won't be enough for them to walk away from the religion completely, but maybe it'll be enough to put them subconsciously on alert to look for falacies and doctrine contridictions and your infamous "new light" flip flops. That tiny little seed of doubt may grow into a tree that won't sway with every little gust of wind you send out with your publications.

    We all know that you're petrified of secular education. Perfectly understandable since secular education emphasises critical thinking, proper research, and in many cases, the scientific method which values amongst other things, proofs, quantifiable results, and validity (meaning can others research the same thing and come to the same conclusions), and your religion requires blind faith and ignorance to make it work.

    If a theory is not valid, and I repeat, if a theory is not valid, another individual or group of individuals will find proof of this. Not only that, the individual(s) will inform others that the particular theory is not valid. This is done so that the erroneous theory is abadoned in favor of the correct (or in some cases, more correct) one. In science, this is called a paradigm shift. These paradigm shifts are what has propelled our understanding about the world around us forward.

    This is what you're so morbidly afraid of isn't it? You know (even if it's deep down) that your doctrines, your "truth" as it were, are blatently false. You know that that all it will take is people who are willing to take your doctrines apart and examine them, to bring your whole house of cards down.

    Your escalading villianization of secular education, the internet, "worldly" associations, independent thinking, non-herd mentality, and so on is your knee-jerk reaction to this. It is so painfully obvious to all but the happily brainwashed and ignorant, that this is what you're doing.

    But as it was said earlier, the genie is out of the bottle and all the restrictions you place on your followers won't reverse the "damage" that has already been done. In fact, the more stringent restrictions you place on your followers, the more they're going to rebel and those on the outside will more readily see what you truly are.

    Even a docile and obedient horse will fight too-tight reins.

    So, why don't you defend yourselves with this very simple supposition; if something is true, it will remain true despite all critical examinations and inquiries.

    In your case, if "the truth" is actually true, it will continue to be true no matter what apparent contridictory evidence is presented to dispute it and everyone examining the evidence will naturally come to the conclusion that "the truth" is the truth.

    So why shouldn't JWs pursue secular education? After all, if "the truth" is the truth, then nothing that is learned in secular education will dispute it, right? Why can't JWs study evolution? After all, if Jehovah created everything, surely no evidence will be found that will dispute that, right? Why can't JWs study subjects like Philosophy, Psychology, Physics, Biology, etc.? After all, if everything that you teach is "the truth," you'll have nothing to worry about, right?

    So the mere fact that you strongly discourage, nay even demonize, secular education, suggests that you're desperately trying to hide something. And believe me, a large number of your followers are starting to sense this.

    What are you trying to hide? Are you maybe trying to hide the fact that your dogmatic doctrines are full of holes? Are you trying to hide your brainwashing techniques? Are you trying to hide evidence of your crime-enabling (pedophiles) practices? Are you trying to hide the multitude of ruined lives and destroyed families that your religion has caused?

    It is quite transparent and pathetic that your only defense to combat this awakening is to apply more thought control through fear and intimidation and imposed ignorance. You are negligent that because of your doctrines, you now have a large mass of followers who lack the basic skills or education to support themselves and their families at a level of above poverty, and you are negligent because you now have a large mass of rapidly aging followers who were discouraged from planning for their old age in favor of sacrificing their productive years to build your religious empire.

    And that is criminal. I accuse you of knowingly, willingly, and actively violating the human rights of your followers.

    Acknowledge the accusations made by all these so called "apostates" and "opposers" and prove them wrong. Quit hiding behind your ad hominem attacks and address the core issues.

    I suspect that you won't. Not because you're unwilling, but rather because you are unable because you are, quite simply, a bunch of unscrupulous Mountebanks.

    The Truth

    Lady Zombie,

    noticeable is the fact that even Jehovah replied to Satan's accusations, saying, go ahead, prove me wrong.

    The WTS doesn't even follow Jehovah's own way of handling controversy.

    Lady Zombie,

    In case you do not know it, the WTS has people assigned to monitor sites like this on a regular basic, but particularly this site as it is the biggest and most active. They are looking for WT scoops that might be harmful to them for the very simple fact that they happen to be true (especially those coming from the inside of Bethel), what high profile apostates are saying and to "out" people who post here who are still active as dubs, elders, pioneers or more importantly those higher up in the Cult.

    What a great job to have at Bethel! It presents the classic test of duality. Bethelite monitors this site, sees the facts and the evidence and is supposed to remain "loyal" and report back to his masters about what is going on. Bethelite sees that things are not right in Watchowerland and that Bethelite has been lied to. What to do? Two choices. Ignore facts and keep your job and your prestiige (and sell your very soul to a dishonest religion) or bolt?

    Bethelite sells his soul and prospers in BethelLand until Bethelite is canned a year or so later. Bethelite is sixty years old and hasn't even learned to wash windows and doesn't even qualify for social security. Bethelite must learn how to extract aluminum cans from dumpsters before someone else finds them. Bethelite is screwed, not to mention the fact that Bethelite sold his soul to the religious Printing Corporate that hosed him.

    Bethelite bolts and then learns to wash windows.

    Not very good options either way, as I see it.

    The Bethelite is screwed no matter what he does in that situation, Farkel.

    Can you imagine the mental anguish Bethelite goes through after an hour or two of monitoring JWD.

    Can Bethelite request a rubber room and plastic eating utensils?

    I agree with everything said. If you have the truth as you say you do, it can't be overthrown because it is from God.

    Read your own translation at Acts and see what a wise Pharisee Gamaliel said about this.

    Do you have any wise Governing Body members I hope you do and I hope they think about this.

    (Acts 5:33-40) 33 When they heard this, they felt deeply cut and were wanting to do away with them. 34 But a certain man rose in the San´he·drin, a Pharisee named Ga·ma´li·el, a Law teacher esteemed by all the people, and gave the command to put the men outside for a little while. 35 And he said to them: "Men of Israel, pay attention to yourselves as to what YOU intend to do respecting these men. 36 For instance, before these days Theu´das rose, saying he himself was somebody, and a number of men, about four hundred, joined his party. But he was done away with, and all those who were obeying him were dispersed and came to nothing. 37 After him Judas the Gal·i·le´an rose in the days of the registration, and he drew off people after him. And yet that man perished, and all those who were obeying him were scattered abroad. 38 And so, under the present circumstances, I say to YOU, Do not meddle with these men, but let them alone; (because, if this scheme or this work is from men, it will be overthrown; 39 but if it is from God, YOU will not be able to overthrow them;) otherwise, YOU may perhaps be found fighters actually against God." 40 At this they gave heed to him, and they summoned the apostles, flogged them, and ordered them to stop speaking upon the basis of Jesus’ name, and let them go.

    Big sticking point today, with the young people and higher education.

    It's '68 all over again....

    Remember, they can't study those topics because school takes time and THE END IS SOOOOO CLOSE NOW.
