Paying Legal Fees Illegally?
by Charles Gillette inpaying legal fees out of the world wide work fund is it legal to do it?
first we need to know what the purpose is for having a www fund.. i'm not computer savvy or an "it" when it comes to putting information together to show here like so many others here can.. will someone explain how the watchtower society can legally use the www fund to pay out monies, legal fees and court directed payments to the one who have been sexually abused by pedophiles from the watchtower organization.. again what is the sole purpose in establishing the www fund?.
is it not for kingdom interest world wide and not to use it to pay out their guilty criminal activity.

"Our donations are also used to provide emergency relief aid to fellow believers in times of disaster"
I guess that is where the court expenses and child abuse payments are justified.
A time of disaster.

Manipulative language
by Hendrixgrip insomeone recently included the phrase from a talk, “cherished errors”, which made me think about something i wanted to get off my chest.
the societies use of manipulative language has been discussed on this site many time and i hope this adds to the ammunition to fight back against them.
periodically , i’ll run into someone and they’ll say “hendrixgrip, why don’t you come to the meetings anymore.” i’ll give them some not too specific reason like, “i’m struggling with the overlapping doctrine”.

Tex: Worst of all allowing the child abusers to remain inside for years
Worst of all is thinking that just booting out child abusers out of the so special jworg is the solution. What about how horrible it is to let an abuser loose in the community to harm more kids? Or is "keeping the org clean" the priority and forget about the rest of the world?

Why would Satan give a rats ass about jehovahs witnesses?
by nowwhat? inwe know the answer but for the sake of discussion.
so satan is the ruler of the world and he is hellbent on destroying gods people, why?
satan controls 99.9 % of the world except for one little obscure religious group that no one pays any attention to.

NowWhat, this post reminds me of something I was told many, many years ago (when i was young, naive and not long after I had "escaped")...
I was speaking to a counselor and I expressed my concern about "demunz" who would attack a person once they left da troof and she pointed out how irrational that thinking was.
"If Satan really wanted you to leave the "one true religion", don't you think he would leave you alone once you have left? And think about this...if Satan and his demons leave you alone when you are a JW, maybe it is because he is happy when you are inside a Kingdom Hall".

Hidden history of the Watchtower religion
by TerryWalstrom inthe deeper you dig--the less impressive jw’s become!___________________you may think you know the men who are vitally important to the birth of the religion--but chances are good you’ve been kept in the dark.. _____________.
did you know?the 1st case heard by the supreme court of the united states concerning the watchtower society involved a director (an officer) of the watchtower, william franklyn hudgings.. a brief description of hudgings and his character.hudgings was an attorney, quack doctor, self-identified ‘scientist’, a pro-zionist, and religious enthusiast who over the years held various director and officer positions in the watchtower society, and the affiliated people's pulpit association and international bible students association.
at the time of this particular case, william hudgings acknowledged being the corporate secretary of the people's pulpit association and acknowledged that his daily duties included the administrative charge of printing of the watchtower magazine, the bible student's monthly, the kingdom news, and other watchtower publications.. (hudgings was also re-elected to the watchtower society board of directors in january 1919.

by ThinkerBelle ini am trying to find the ridiculous beliefs jw had on the use of a binky or pacifier.

JWGoneBad: Wow...'Mother's' micromanaging our lives has taken on a new perspective and meaning!
Well...I don't think that the wacky ideas put forth in the Golden Age were directives from the org. Medical beliefs in early 20th C in America were (and still are) a bit "off" and the early Bible Students embraced many quack notions. And published them and promoted them.
If you think that the idea that a pacifier will cause tonsillitis is nuts...woe is the one who actually gets tonsillitis.
Tonsillectomy is called a minor operation. If so, getting well is a double major. If any overzealous doctor condemns your tonsils go and commit suicide with a case-knife. It's cheaper and less painful.

DataDog: Jehovah sure is weird...
Yeah. And he lives in Pleiades. Or...at least he used to. I think he moved recently. Condos must have been selling cheap elsewhere. Real estate value fluctuations and all that...or maybe it got too crowded. Or maybe Jehovah up and packed his bags once da' judge arrived - God couldn't stand Joe messing the place up
The constellation of the seven stars forming the Pleiades appears to be the crowning center around which the known systems of the planets revolve.... It has been suggested, and with much weight, that one of the stars of that group is the dwelling place of Jehovah and the place of the highest heavens;....
The constellation of the Pleiades is a small one compared with others which scientific instruments disclose to the wondering eyes of man. But the greatness in size of other stars or planets is small when compared to the Pleiades in importance, because the Pleiades is the place of the eternal throne of God.
