besides the email message to mr. angus stewart that i have posted on the other thread, i have send him the following email regarding the two-witness rule and the claims it can't be changed because it's "bible-based":.
"dear mr. angus steward,.
i would like to draw your attention to another aspect of the arguments presented by the leadership of the jehovah's witness, in this case regarding the "two witness rule" and the duty to report to secular authorities.
Yes, well written.
The 2 witness rule is cherry picked by the society.
They try and say it applies for a serious crime like child abuse, while conveniently ignoring it if someone is suspected of APOSTASY! (A far greater crime it would seem)
Just the slightest whisper that someone no longer feels the society has "the truth", and that stuff will spread like wildfire, and be the subject of "marking / warning" talks in the hall!
So much for proof, or 2 witnesses!
so a few months ago, a friend sent me an actual copy of finished mystery which was published in 1917 (not a pdf download... the actual book).
i must say, this was the most disturbing book i have ever had the displeasure of reading.
but i only read it because this was the main publication that was being distributed worldwide when jesus supposedly chose the watchtower in 1918 and i basically wanted to see for myself what jesus saw in the wt that would compel him to choose this religious corporation over all other religious denominations.. anyway, if anyone is interested in knowing the actual contents of this book, here are some bullet points i put together from some of the notes i took as i read the book:.
Bumped for anyone who missed this....
so many things that i just discoved about the bible.. .
so from the book my book of bible stories, we all know how little moses was saved from a cruel pharaoh.
of course the king of egypt was afraid that those cute little babies would endanger his empire eventually.
Yes, and acts like incest were bad, unless your name is Lot, when it was ok to commit incest with your own daughters, and father children with them....
we have heard: “don’t share food with apostate.” what about sharing the air we all breathe in?
whether apostate or believer, both breathe in the same air (which is more important than food)!.
today i put this question to the couple who came to invite me for the memorial.
And the parable of the prodigal son had the father RUNNING to prepare an elaborate MEAL for his wayward son....

Didn't Jesus eat with "sinners" ?
Didnt he speak about the "Good Samaritan"...who was from an APOSTATE nation?
Hmmm....
does forcing people to shun other people violate free will?
Can someone post those paragraphs?
does forcing people to shun other people violate free will?
But the society has masterfully created a culture that makes it appear that the INDIVIDUAL is acting under their own choice...NOT because the society tells them to.
That is probably the MASTER STROKE of such a high control group.

just a bit of fun..
How about one with a picture of lush vegetables growing in the "paradise", but with a caption that reads: "this compost fertiliser made up of 8 billion bodies is great to grow my vegetables in! Thank youJehovah!"
this is the email i have just sent to mr. stewart angus, who has been conducting the questioning of the jw leaders during the australian royal commission dealing with child abuse cases among the jehovah's witnesses, concerning the claims made that a jehovah witness who wishes to walk away from the organization can simply become inactive and avoid being shunned:.
dear mr. angus stewart,
i have followed with interest the videos of the arc regarding the jehovah's witnesses in australia.
Well done!
Yes, after the first proceedings (case study 29) I also contacted the ARC and helped them to understand the "preemptive shunning" that occurs to ones who have NOT disassociated. By this I mean ones who are just viewed as "spiritually weak".
These ones too are given a wide berth.
The2016 convention videos helped to make this clear, as does all of our individual cases.
when i was in , i went on many vacations, ate out at restaurants a lot and drank alcohol.
loved music and dancing too.... do jws do anything but watch watchtower videos now?
?.
They "enjoy get-togethers" (that is a witnessy word if ever there was one)
Or they "enjoy" working days at the KH. (Its all about the social aspect)
