  If you Google his name there are pages about him. Sounds like a really nice sincere person. I wish I had known him.

  What was really going on with Abel? Does anyone find the story of Cain and Abel screwed up.

  ever wonder about the story of cain and abel?

  why did jehovah like abel's sacrifice more than cain's?

  maybe there's a subtle reason why jehovah likes animal sacrifices.

  When you accept that the Bible is the written record of hardscrabble Bronze Age goatherders (carnivores) and not the creator of the universe, everything makes more sense.

  Their life was hard, so they believed god must be an angry sociopath who desired blood sacrifice for appeasement.

  Dinosaur Soft Tissue

  by Sea Breeze in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  back when the dinosaur soft tissue story was broken in 2005, i predicted that that many more soft tissues would be found and that it wouldn't matter if it was supposedly "65 million" years old or "165 million" years old.

  the prediction has proven true and dinosaur soft tissue is routinely now found regardless of supposed age.

  this is easy to predict using a literal reading of genesis and accepting it as history.... .

  Who is the source of this YouTube site?

  Not an accredited "Dr." of geology, biology, or Paleontology.

  It is folly to leave Watchtower and its fake "experts," like Fred Franz, to grab onto new fakes.

  I noticed higher concentrations of JWs in poorer counties with high Hispanic % populations.

  I saw some similar stats with other surveys regarding JW Spanish congregations.

  Thanks! Great resource and very useful post.

  The changing demographics help explain Watchtower's survival.

  Is the Governing Body hunting down PIMOs? LEAKED survey for select congregations in Canada

  by liam in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  it seems like the organization is hunting down pimos.

  maybe the mark o donnell lawsuit is just the beginning.. this leaked survey in canada is asking some very weird questions from select publishers.

  all i can say is that this will help wake up some pimi straddling the fence.

  Great deal if from PEW, a University, or another reputable source.

  From Watchtower HQ...? I wouldn't be surprised if each had a unique number or code in UV or invisible ink to root out the heretics!

  Things Rutherford got wrong that Fred Franz had to clear up

  by slimboyfat in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i was interested by the suggestion in a recent discussion that rutherford was in some way preferable to fred franz, because i’ve not come across this view before.

  it made me rethink my assumptions and try to work out why i hold the opposite view and prefer fred franz to rutherford.

  i haven’t done any additional research, so i’m only drawing on what i can remember off the top of my head, but i thought i’d list a few things where i reckon fred franz’s approach was preferable to rutherford.

  With logic like this no wonder JWs are the poorest religion in the USA.

  What is the Craziest Thing You Are Aware Of Someone Being Disfellowshipped For?

  by Sea Breeze in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i knew a lady who was disfellowshipped for 20 years for smoking.

  she finally went back to the kh and since they couldn't find her paperwork, (all the former elders were dead) she was allowed back in without reinstatement.

  no one even remembered her.

  To me, the craziest thing is that the ones who NEEDED to be shunned skated. They simply denied and counter-alleged. "I want to face the two 'false' witnesses who slandered me.

  Example. One famous molester of SIX JW children did the above denials when confronted by the untrained elders who followed HQ orders by NOT calling the police. Child molester/online pornographer simply walks out while the stunned elders have another meeting, goes home, and destroys all evidence. Child molester then calls and threatens all victims, parents, and "witnesses," with more denials, Lawsuits, and disfellowshipping for slander, etc, etc.

  Soon, the two adult "witnesses" have "accidents". One healthy young woman dies of an "asthma attack'..with missing medication. Another "commits suicide"...357 in the face.. Eventually, someone disobeys Watchtower HQ and calls the cops.

  Cops did the best job they could, but the crime scene had been scrubbed, all evidence destroyed, the victims scrubbed clean, adult witnesses dead, the case tainted, and young victims terrified. The local body of window washers had destroyed any chance of a sound and timely case/trial.

  The perp gets a great attorney and walks. Disappears to start all over 100 miles away. Moves two more times at least 100 miles, and gets appointed as an MS servant!!!

  Meanwhile, little old sisters sheepishly confess to eating birthday cake, extra nips of brandy nightcaps, or middle-aged singles ride bikes with "worldly men" and get disfellowshipped.

  Angelic direction...my a**

  Wow. Criminals.

  I hope he can get some free assistance from the Penn. State Attorney General, who seems hot on the trail to bust Watchtower.
