If You Want to Expose JW's, Get it Right! (page 2)

I got my believing wife to look at this site. The first time she did, she read a number of inacuracies concerning JW teachings. I had to agree that what she read was completely wrong. She discounted the site without looking deeper into the inacurate statements. I can't say I blame her but getting it wrong may have closed the door on getting her out. This is not to say she would have changed her view but I loooked like I was grasping for any reason to ge out.

Were they really inacuracies? Or was it stuff that was inacurate about the JW teachings at the current time?

They first few times I read JW critical info. i felt the same as your wife. I thought it was all a bunch of lies becasue they claimed things that I knew the society did not teach. But come to find out, they did teach those things at one time.

Asphere,

They were definitely inaccuracies. Nothing epic but minor issues ( I can't remeber exactly what it was).

I wish it was not the case but It happened

One thing that annoys me is the unsupported allegations that are written on various sites. If we have some really good info, make sure it is accurate and supported with evidence.

Good guide, jeff. Another myth is that c t russel was a freemason. While he was friends w some of them, there is no evidence that he ever became one.

I prefer to make them work for the information. Any hounder with the time to read more than 9,000 posts might be able to figure out that it is me. But, it will waste so much of their field circus time and allow 50 people to slip out the back door trying to hunt for me using the Internet. I am more worried about a physical recapture, which would only take them about an hour or so to execute instead of several weekends.

And yes, I advocate caution when posting personal information on any forum. Unless you want Brother Hounder to easily be able to recognize you, avoid posting your real name or picture. It also makes sense to watch what you post about personal information for regular identity theft and the occasional troll that is willing to make death threats against people for no good reason. But, the chances of Brother Hounder accurately busting you for posting here are pretty tiny, and they would be wasting months of time trying.

Good write up Jeff, evaluating this publishing corporation in practical terms, not in non-sensual way as some do .

I'm glad you mentioned the supposed subliminal art aspirations that the WTS artists some say are capable of.

Noting that the WTS artists are not professional or intellectual enough to carry that through.

I get frustrated as well when people in a effort to expose the corruption of the WTS come up with out landishly stupid

accusations about what the WTS has done, making themselves look more idiotic if anything.

Personally to me the false dogmas of the WTS is rooted in the fact that the WTS. is a publishing house,

its always been in the corporation's interests to write up ideas extrapolated of course from the bible to

catch the publics attention, captivating people into submissive fear and then manipulating them for profit $

The game is power and money, thankfully the inter-net is here now and people are starting to awaken to this fact.

I agree on a few points. If you say something inaccurate to an active JW they will beat that to death and ignore everything else you say. I always figured that, at most, the subliminal art stuff proved that Bethel was boring. I could picture somebody deciding to stick faces in the trees just to mess with people.

"Worldly" people for the most part don't know much about witnesses and don't think about them EVER, unless they show up at the door. A couple of times I talked to groups at churches about my experience with JW's. Most seemed to find it interesting, but didn't invest a lot of energy in it.

surely something as far fetched as a paedophile scandal affecting the WTS and a world wide cover up, and national TV programmes world wide, with a website called Silentlambs exposing the story cant be true? Also 2 Governing body members who were active practising homosexuals resulting in a covering up cant be true either?

Hey, GOODY! AllTimeJeff's on a rant; this ought to be really, really gooood...

Watched a silly video on YouTube that was supposed to spoof 'JWs' - it was soo inaccurate that it totally FLOPPED - the nidgewit making it had the amateur 'actor' behaving - and spouting dialog - that was too much like a Pentecostal. Reminded me - and other viewers - of MarJoe. Anyone remember him???

Good rant, Jeff! You let it OUT, Bucko! 'em!!

I appreciate the comments...

Jook, you bring up some good points. Those are true, and the fact that the media actually paid attention to it demonstrates it. JW's can't disprove what Barbara Anderson or Silentlambs have exposed. I certainly didn't mean the pedophile issue was to be ignored.

In fact, when you think about it, of all the scandals that have affected JW's, the pedophile scandal got the most pub by far. Dateline, CBS News, CNN and others covered it. What was the result do you think?

My opinion is for most people, it was just another religious group who hid pedophiles in their midst. Even in this, JW's are not unique. All churches and religions have had a problem to one degree or another. However, the bigger story out of that was the Catholic Church and their payouts. JW's have too. To the tune of 12 million dollars or so, not the billions that the Catholic Church has paid. So the average person is going to say, "Yup, JW's aren't any different on that score. Silly people! I wish they would get out of their stupid little religion..." And then go back to their life. Will they ever join JW's? Hell no. So, exposed they are, and mission accomplished.

I don't really think that 2 gay gays pretending to be straight on the GB matters to most people. JW's barely understand the GB, I doubt outsiders would care to learn about them and what their "sin" means to the greater whole....
