  "Few experiences hurt more than learnig that someone you trust has lied to you."

  "You might feel humiliated, angry, or even betrayed."

  "Imagine then, how you would feel if you learned that you had been lied to about God."

  .... "I felt the church had betrayed me." --DEANNE.

  .... "I was angry. I felt that I had been tricked --that my hopes and goals turned out to be futile." --LUIS

  "What you know may have come from someone whom you trust and who would never intentionally hurt you-- your parents, a priest, a pastor or a close friend."

  "You may have believed a certain teaching all your life...."

  "But would you not agree that even a widely held idea can be false?" (Be honest here, please)

  "Former U.S. President Freanklin D. roosevelt recognized this fact, for he said:

  "Repetition does not transform a lie into the truth"

  "How can you determinewhether youhave been lied to?"

  "Jesus once said to God in prayer: "Your word is truth." (John 17:17)

  "Yes, God's Word, the Bible,contains what we need in order to distinguish the truth from lies."

  These quotes are from our favorite source, the WT.... October 1, 2011 ... all on the same page... page 3

  Title of the article? "Have You Been Lied To?"

  Yes, that is how we feel, WT, "Humiliated, angry and betrayed."

  And worst of all, Botchtower has yet to apologize. And the result is that trust is lost, never to be regained.

  You lost Botchtower. Big time. For my JW father now declines with dementia. And I am the Power of Attorney with responsibility for his estate, his money.

  And you ain't gettin' anymore. Nada. Zilch. Bupkiss.

  One more of your cash cows has dried up.

  Here's hoping this trend continues.

  CHA-CHING, shame on you! You know very well that the wt doesn't lie! They simply get new light. It's all the other religions that hold the same doctrine for centuries that are lying.

  Right on! Rudderhead! "New Light" What a "get out of jail free card", huh? Wish I could get one of those!

  Heaven: So funny re: the $$$! You do know why I have this name, right? When I saw the lie about 607 (Yep, Londo, I love that "lie wll set you free" article re: 607! Set me free alright!) I told my husband I was going to start sending post cards to the "Society"...

  Post cards, because they are "short, sweet, & to the point..." and no on has to open them to see them...

  My first one was going to be "Cha Ching, Cha Ching, you ain't gettin' no more of my Bling!!!"

  Londo111: I have enjoyed your posts, along w/Blondie, AnnOMaly and so many more about 607! Quite alot of hard work organized so well. thx

  It would be interesting to have a blood pressure monitor on me before, during, and after reading anything written by the WT.

  Thank you Cha Ching for reminded us why it's called Association of ANTI-WATCHTOWER Activists.

  Well if WT isn't lying, then wouldn't that mean that Jehovah, Jesus, or the angels are either lying or unreliable. So no matter how you look at it, a partial truth is still a lie, no matter where it came from.

  I have proof that it was not the WTS that lied or mislead folks. II WAS JEHOVAH !!!!!!!

  " Thus what is taught is not from men but from Jehovah."____Sept 15, 2010 WT para. 8 page 13
