  So, this should prove that they are an unloving cult-like group...right?

  What do you think is the origin of Giants and/or Sasquatch?

  genesis says a lot about both pre-flood and post-flood giants.the really big nasty ones drowned in the flood but there were lots of others the israelites had to overcome including the king of basham with his 11 foot iron bed.people nowadays are much smaller and i think its due in part to us losing more and more of adams perfection.

  i turn my attention to the animals that went onboard the ark but are as yet undiscovered.

  during president knorr's time the panda bear was discovered in a market place in china and eventually an american team tracked them down in the wild.

  Um...okayyyyy... I'll bite.

  This "factual" and "historical" event that the Bible speaks of is an amazing proof of "divine authorship".

  It all MUST be true...after all, the bible says it was true....

  Do you also believe in fairies and flying pigs?

  Great that the media has picked up on this so quickly!

  The world needs to see the arrogance of the Society!

  My ex-bethelite buddy found TTATT through his prostitute friend.

  so yesterday evening i get an invite through facebook fro a name that was familiar, but i couldn’t place the face.

  after clicking on the page i saw a close-up pic to realize it was a friend of mine from 15 years ago at bethel.. when this guy arrived at bethel he was big time.

  he was in early 20’s and had given up a job as an engineer at what was one of the largest electronics companies in the world.

  This sounds a bit odd. In bethel, everyone knows your business...so it seems strange that he was able to keep this quite for so long.

  What is he up to now? Have you met up with him again?

  2 witness rule

  by punkofnice in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i'm gobsmacked.. the 7 rock star popes in warwick know darned well that the 2 witness rule allows child rapists to get away with their crime.. geoff (whacko jacko) jackson was at the australian royal commission and should have seen first hand what a vile man made law the 2 witness rule is.. my question is, why do they still insist on this pervert protecting rule?.

  i know it's a highly controlling cult but still...........................stuff my old boots, mate!.

  the above is more a rhetorical question.

  I posted this comment some time back too about the flawed nature of JW reasoning.

  If we came across a person on the street who has been hit by a car and is badly injured, disoriented and in pain, would we walk up to them and say "it is your legal right to call the ambulance if you wish - I wont prevent you from doing so". Then walk away?

  No two witnesses existed to that incident...so we "cant get involved"...

  Or, if we learned that someone committed murder, would we call Bethel to ask the Service dept how to proceed? Or would we just call the police and leave it in their hands? What is the difference with the crime of child abuse?

  So, if the 2 witness rule is the "standard" by which the Society judges things, how would they fare with this:

  If someone punched ToMo3 in the face and no second witness observed it, did the punch really take place??

  no pictures of Kingdom Hall remodels???

  by Lynnie in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i'm following an old friend on instagram who's an uber elder and he does lots of work on kh's and has gone to warwick on his own dime to help with the construction.

  on his instagram post he says " i can't post pictures of the kh remodel but i can post pics of jack daniels that i had afterwards" or some such.

  why aren't they allowed to take pics of remodels?

  Yet another example that proves this is a cult. INFORMATION CONTROL.

  The GB / Society wants to control what pics are posted and from whom...
  

  It fits the BITE model:

  Behaviour control

  Information control

  Thought control

  Emotion control

  we all are hearing of the trend right now to ¨downsize¨ the congregations...ie... eliminate by combining, in order to blah blah blah... .

  here is what you didnt know: every time a congregation is dissolved, for whatever reason, including merging or dispersing, wt makes money!

  Yes...good point!

  Once again it proves that nothing is actually owned by those in that cong. The "society" owns everything....
