    How do we know this is not a hoax? Is the source that posted this on E-watchman really a trustworthy known individual? I'm always skeptical of things like this until more confirmations are received from individuals with a track record of honesty are received.

    In the meantime,

    Wow! what a load of crap! The more they beat the friends with the same 120 year old stick, the more people will grow disillusioned and slow down.

    I had a dutch brother over once and he related to us that the Dutch brothers often rebel against Society's orders. Example: when the Soc said there was to be no coffee being served at Assemblies (or something like that), the brothers took upon themselves to make the coffee themselves and serve whoever wanted it ANYWAY.

    I giggled!

    I'm not sure if I'm getting my history wrong but isn't Dutch society in general hostile towards large organized religions as a result of their experiences in the sixteenth century religious wars?

    I remember a news item years ago about a Dutch band that released an anti-Catholic song called "popee yopee" which created a furore all over Europe but not in Holland. Anyone else remember it?

    Apparently the absolutist ways of the WTS leadership haven't gone down well with the Dutch who are one of the most liberally minded and democratic people in Europe.

    That talk is a typical piece of sleazy JW propaganda and manipulation projecting jehovah and relegating Christ and relying heavily on the old testament for its effect.

    And the usual crap about the FDS who they know as much as everybody else that he is a false prophet and teacher that would have been exterminated in the days of Moses as an impostor against God and man for a 100% prophetic failure rate.

    i would like to question the crediblity of this talk also. Sounds very JWish but sheesh, they usually say the same stuff but a little more vague. They were ultra straight forward into saying that the JWs should listen to the GB and Elders with no questions asked. Usually its, "We and the elders are imperfect humans and we make mistakes, BUT!! they are appointed by God and know everything at the same time". Wouldnt be surprised if it is real though.

    Thank you, thank you, you're far too kind!

    -Whiskeyjack, we also had a carnavalsong bashing jehovah, it was called "Yohova!", it was a huge hit two years ago ROFL ow, but we do have freedom of religion, though we have one of the lowest rates of churchattendance in the world, which I'm (very justly) very proud of b
