outstanding !!!
... actually, connie was too nice to the jw leaders in her questions ... and i appreciate the two young ex-jw girls who connie interviewed ... they were straight forward, clear, and credible ... and they did a good job making the case ... and kudos to bill bowen for calling the watchtower's statement a bold-faced lie, because that is what it is ... the watchtower society clearly lied as to what they say their policy is, and what has been practiced in real life.
great job !!!
un-comforter:
I asked you a question in another post:
Since you say that there's a lot of fecal matter in this board without your need to add anything, then What are you doing in this board???
I know what other posters will say, but for the sake of free speech, I like to hear from you answering the question.
Also, you expect to convince all the ex-JWs here as well as informed non-JWs that your position and that of your WTS masters is correct????
armaggedon - jehovahs witness speculations
o.k, so we all know that j.w's all have their own ideas on what exactly armaggedon is going to be like.
here are a few of the ideas i have heard from loyal dubs: .
Hey YouKnow:
And your point is??????
i have been coming to this forum since around september 2001 and although i haven't had much to say i have gained a lot by just coming here and reading.
i have laughed and cried and got really angry along with posters here and have enjoyed most of my time here.
now i am moving to the country to be with my daughter and her kids and i won't have internet access there which is a good thing because it will get me out from behind this screen.
Good Luck, Best Wishes to you in your journeys and Take great care.

you have been here for me through the best of times and the worst.

(((((Amanda))))))
You have nothing to apologize for. You haven't done nothing wrong to apologize to us. You had things to take care of in your life. Don't worry, be Happy .

anybuddy in this place still believe we living in last days?
the signs of the times look clear.
child kidnappings, serial killers, wars, suicide and homicide bombers and more problems than you shake stick at.
Last days reconsidered??? Are we living the last days?
One word: No and I won't explain to you as other posters (JanH, Vivamus, libra_spirit and others) had already done that.
there enough fecal matter in this place without comforter adding anything.
Then, why are you here?
i was telling the guys this morning here a work about the cnn show and how in the mind of jw all this public attention for so many of them is often viewed as bible prophecy being fulfilled in their behalf.
i dare say that in a typical congo of 120 publishers only 4or 5 if that will stop and consider what all this means.
so one of the guys asked how is that possible with all this stuff going on.i explained to him he needs to understand the indoctrination process for the avg jw.
Seriousl - if M.J. had been a Mormon, do you think the media would have mentioned that any less? But the majority of JWs would not know what religion he was - because they wouldn't care then.
Maybe the media would have mentioned that, but that would be an interesting scenario as the Mormons' beliefs essentially are kinda racist.

NameWithheld,
Scientologists are surely wackos. They live in a SciFi world. Wait a minute!!! Their cult is based on a SciFi novel. LOL!
They may not look like it, but I bet John Travolta and Tom Cruise are wackos.
.
shaving was a pagan egyptian/greek custom.. should true christians practise this custom?.
Some things I like to ask them, the JWs, are:
I wonder if they will be able to answer me or will I get a silent blank stare?
Replying to butalbee's post, I guess Moses, Abraham and Jesus won't inherit the kingdom since they wore beards. LOL

JT,
I think you hit it on the nail about a situation about the 13 year old JW and consequently, that 13yr old's JW parents will yank him/her out of school and place him/her in home-school with other JW kids. Their excuse will probably be "Not taking part of this world and not associating with it."
On the subject of double-speak hypocrisy, Isn't saying "Not being part of this world" one thing while they are roaming around pestering non-JWs about joining another thing?
Ashi,
You are so right on about reasoning with unreasonable people: All they care is their views without caring about others' views. If someone shows them the fact, they will say "It's a bunch of lies", "There must be a good reason for it".
Expatbrit,
You're right: Isn't it amazing how when they are criticized, they say it's Satan's persecution and when other religions are criticized, they say it's Jehovah's justice at work? I'd love to ask them since it's the same media that criticizes both JWs and other religions, is Jehovah and Satan the same???
minimus,
Definitely all the bad publicity from the media will curtail the new recruitment as the new recruits are worldlies and non-JWs will unlimited access to information. However, I think it will be slow in causing decline among the "still-in" JWs as their access to information is very limited and restricted, like the Totalitarian Dictatorships. Plus, the ll-in" JWs are living with FEAR. I think that majority of the newly baptized will come from the children of active JWs rather than new recruits. However, to the WTS, they care less if it's the children of active JWs or new recruits that baptize, it's just a number to promote their statistics.
Jourles,
when it comes to $$$$$, all organizations, religious or not, will turn the other face. That is another hypocrisy from their part. Since the Williams sisters are great cash cows, I bet the WTS will allow them lotsa privileges.

wednesday evening at 7:00 pm cst there will be an airing of an interview with myself, heidi and amber with connie chung.
there may be an additional followup on thursday.
enjoy this wt.
ALRIGHT, BILL!!!!!!
Now that will give the GB, the Bethelites, the Overseers and Elders plenty of Maalox moments and sleepless nights. Well... now I wonder what the average JW (especially here in America and in the UK) will say when a potential recruit will ask them questions about the topic. Of course, the "It's all lies" line will grow old and stale sooner or later.
Good job, Bill!

Ajax
