JW facts, I don't say it enough how much I too appreciate your work. I have actually printed out many of your "facts" for friends that want to have something to say to JW who come to their door. My favorite is the Rhetorical Fallacy in the Watchtower! Thank You! Thank You! NMKA

JWFacts - Reading this shit so that I don't have to, since 2004

jwfacts: Interestingly they come out and clearly state the Governing Body direct the rest of the Anointed, but do not really explain how the rest of the Anointed are used as part of the Slave.

That's because the Guys from Brooklyn don't know either:

"We thus have no way of knowing the exact number of anointed ones on earth; nor do we need to know. The Governing Body does not keep a list of all partakers, for it does not maintain a global network of anointed ones." - Question From Readers, w2011 8/15 p. 22 - Emphasis added

Curious!

Jesus said, "I am the fine shepherd, and I know my sheep and my sheep know me" - John 10:14.
And Paul wrote, "Jehovah knows those who belong to him" - 2 Timothy 2:19

So why doesn't the GB know those that they allegedly represent?

I guess Jesus isn't telling the GB who his sheep are. Why not? Well, evidently it's on a "need to know basis" and as the GB freely admit, "We thus have no way of knowing … nor do we need to know."

I just wanna' know one thing: Who really is the Faithful and Discreet Slave? Because the 7 Guys from Brooklyn sure don't know!

Thank you all for the addtional comments.

Vanderhoven7 It is fine to post my testimonial. I generally stay away from JW apologists as their comments iritate me too much. That thread you linked to was a perfect example. You have provided a lot of information, to which they have not shown a single comment to be wrong, and yet they say " The Watchtower organization has responded to all of Paul's alleged facts. And I find listening to disgruntled ex-JW's a waste of my time." and " I think we have debunked just about every silly post from Van he has made here using such trashy sites (and publications)." Good on you for being tough enough to put up with it, as I am sure it is revealing to other people reading the thread.

Thanks Paul. I appreciate your work and willingness to share your material.

I find that I have to take a break from their ad hom attacks now and again as well.

I used to help my husband when he had "bible" highlights by looking up each verse on the CD to see what the WTS had said in the past...I was surprised how many scriptures had no mention from 1950 to the present year.

This is interesting. Here are the points the GB want emphasized, where they see the biggest problems in the JW "brotherhood":

avoiding the internet, video games, pornography, materialism,
working harder in the congregation, more meetings, more preaching, more family worship
improved treatment of others, not becoming angry, being better in marriage
The evilness of the world and other religions
Avoiding being discouraged at how long the end has delayed
6 different texts regarding the advantages of being single

Notice what things are not considered very important:

Continuing child abuse within the organization
60% + of kids leaving
Inept & stupid elders abusing their authority
JWs dying due to misunderstanding the confusing "component vs. fraction" of blood allowed policy
JWs driven to suicide due to harsh unloving "shun your relatives no matter how close you were" policies
Boring meetings, boring "literature", boring assemblies, boring field service presentations

Yes, apparently, the GB are that sheltered. Clueless as well.

What got my goat was the FOREWORD

Opening sentence "You have this publication in you hand because you appreciate God's Word"

What has that piece of junk got to do with God's Word.Also they write it in such a way that it appears

that their junk is coming from God.

Thank you so much jwfacts! Is that murder ratio correct? That seems really off (1 out of 142), but with Wiki down today I cannot seem to find out.
