My Trinitarian Church does more to help peope and show Christ's love to EVERYONE(not just other people who believe the same ) than the Watchtower ever does .If I wasn't a peace loving Christian I could get quite angry at the lies told by the org !. What makes it worse is that the rank and file can easily see for themselves what other groups and organisations do in the world , and I include non religious groups in that . I have wanted to put a link to my local paper the Tamworth Herald on for a while . Its an article about all the denominations in the area (apart from JWs of course ) coming together to help the local community in lots of ways . I haven't got the computer skills to do this but anyone could go to the website themselves and look at the article from a couple of months back . Do JWs not read things that are about other religions as a matter of principle ? They might see through the lies for themselves if they did .

Well put. Many things that are put in the publications are delusional, but if you tell a big lie often enough, especially to those under cult mind control, people will believe it and accept it as fact.

Wow great post. It sure is amazing how dishonest JWs must be deep down even if they do not realize it, to promote and repeat these fallacious things.

William:
Fantastic job in putting this together. These are facts - verifiable facts - there is nothing "emotional" or "hateful" in what you wrote. Just as it is. Once you get out of the cult and start living Life again and experiencing the world for yourself many more things that we were thaugt will just dissolve into nothing. Soooo many lies, too many to list. You could take any magazine and start looking - really looking - into what they are saying it they are lying.
My mother would use that Bible verse: "You will reap what you sow" to create fear in me. But even that phrase is totally meaningless. Yes you sow tomatoes and get tomatoes. So what? What does it have anything to do with your day to day activities that are not sanctioned by the GB?
The verse is not even correct. I could sow tomatoes and get a thunderstorm and reap zilch. Or I could sow tomatoes, change my mind and sow some salads too or just destroy the whole plot and and and.......
So many things that make absolutely no sense and are useless in your day-to-day Life.
Good job William. We just private mail again. You wrote me some fantastic messages.

Are these genuine claims that the WT has made? Some are plausible, but surely not these two:
4. "Reading the WT publications for 1 year is equivalent to a 4 yr college education".
8. "Worldly girls want to seduce you because you're a JW"
These are so ridiculous they can't be true.

Here's what the WTS said about Gilead early on. I don't think this is still in force.
*** w55 11/15 p. 684 Part 22—Gilead and Congregational Ministry Schools ***
Modern History of Jehovah’s Witnesses
Part 22—Gilead and Congregational Ministry Schools
THE first one hundred students who met the qualifications were called to come to the Watchtower Bible School of Gilead by January 31, 1943. The qualifications for entry into the new school were at least two years of full-time service as a pioneer and also a basic education equal to about high school training. Inasmuch as then the second world war was still being waged, only American pioneers were extended the call to join the first class. The next day, February 1, 1943, the school was dedicated with a plain but impressive program. It was dedicated as a New World school of highest learning, with God’s sacred Word, the Bible, as the school’s basic textbook. N. H. Knorr, the school’s president, and several members of the Watch Tower Society’s board of directors gave addresses on this historic occasion. Later that day the school schedule of classes commenced. Five and a half hours of schooling are scheduled each of the five days of the week from 8:00 a.m. until 2:30 p.m. with one hour off for lunch at noon. Each day four classroom sessions and a lecture session are held. In the afternoon, from 2:40 until 5:40, three hours of domestic duties about the school and farm are assigned for diversion from school routine. Week ends are spent in doing research work and sharing in field service.
The school’s curriculum of studies is a full program offering 26 weeks of higher, college-level training equivalent to one year in secular colleges or universities. After ten years, in January, 1953, the Watchtower Bible School of Gilead was finally officially recognized by the United States Office of Education in Washington, D.C., as offering higher education comparable to professional colleges and educational institutions. This has enabled the United States Department of Justice and its Immigration and Naturalization Service since January 15, 1953, together with the United States Department of State (functioning through its consuls in foreign countries), to grant foreign students of Jehovah’s witnesses visas to enter the United States to enroll at the Watchtower School under the nonimmigrant student visa arrangement.
