  why isn't the boston globe doing a better job covering this group?.

  after all, the movie spotlight won an oscar about this paper and their groundbreaking journalism into the catholic church covering child abuse.

  Hey, if it gets people checking out the website ... well ........ no such thing as bad publicity and all.

  I 'm sure any sort of negative press in which it turned out local JWs were being falsely accused would stir up some interest and curiosity amongst some in the community. And, hey presto Satan serves you lemons and you make lemon koolaid.

  Having said that, still think it entirely plausible that some rabid dubs did it.

  I can believe some rabid JWs would do this sort of thing.

  There was a guy in my cong that went around town pulling down xmas decorations when noone was looking, and he was considered "zealous."

  I'm sure anything that causes divisions, chaos and confusion, economic uncertainty or loss of life will be good for JW business. It's almost like they feed off fear.

  at first i though, "nah...".then, this part of the article spoke the loudest:.

  the spokesman for the jehovah's witnesses in mexico did not immediately respond to requests for comment on the incident, which occurred at least a month ago.. read the article for yourself: http://www.thepublicopinion.com/news/associated_press/national/latin-america/ancient-temple-of-mexican-otomi-indians-damaged/article_fb03cbfb-d103-53b3-a6b6-a74959e1fe78.html.

  He was probably searching for something like bus tours and got bust tours instead - innocent mistake, happens all the time apparently.

  Introduction - Any Believers?

  by Believer in

  2. experiences

  i’ve been reading it for a few of years off and on, but have been a little too ... maybe ... timid to join.

  i left the watchtower organization almost 20 years ago but never abandoned my faith and belief in god.

  i knew the gb/organization didn’t represent god, so when i lost my faith in them, i managed to keep my faith in an all wise benevolent creator.

  When I was a dub I always felt very uneasy about the bible readings where horrible events some of which directed by Jehovah were read out loud and I would look around at the rest of the cong and think am I the only one feeling squeemish about this awful story? Am I the only that thinks there is something terribly wrong with this picture?

  I would excuse it away in my mind with things like we don't know all the circumstances or it was a different time or this is just a retelling of events it probably pained Jehovah greatly or discipline is needed sometines......so on and so forth all the usual excuses to try and reconcile "God is love" with these accounts. If Hitler's atrocities made him a "monster" .... why is God-sanctioned violence against the innocent excused? Don't understand.

  Surely violence is violence is violence?
