  Stumbling...

  in another post, someone made a reference to e-watchman's sudden call to duty.

  i went to the link provided and when reading the sample letter decided to check out the 11-22-98 issue of the awake mentioned as being "un propaganda".

  now... the first time i read this, i was shocked that i had read it before without blinking an eye as a jw.

  I realized nothing in it actually promoted the UN... just provided information on it and then went on to say that it could never achieve what God's Kingdom would. Now I'm questioning if the rigidness I learned came from my fellow JWs or from the Society's literature itself (i.e. if I got the "UN is evil" idea from others or if the Society's literature elsewhere conveyed that idea to me)

  here is what Rutherford had to say about the league of nations;From the book Enemies

  "The league of Nations is the child of the devil

  The combination of the League of nations is made up of religion,polotics and commerce religion being the binding tie and riding on the back of the beast and claiming the right to rule, the old whore gains her dominating position in this combine when she returns with her hire

  From the book Preperation by Rutherford

  which is called the league of nations and which was wrongfully and blasphemiously hailed as the political expression of gods kingdom

  the real author of the league of nations is the devil

  Some books are worse than others condeming the UN which the JWS are famous for

  From the book Let your Kingdom Come

  Presidnt Knorr went on to show that the wild beast that was but is not is about to ascend out of the abyss

  true to bible prophecy the beast was revived in 1945 as the united nations

  The united nations is against Jehovah

  read all about it "you may survive armageddon in gods new world

  I cant understand how this is kept so so quiet.Untill I came here and started searching I never knew it was this bad.

  I am sure the average witness does not know of these things.

  Now I know I want to do something

  lessons in love from the faithful and discreet

  god certainly realizes that carrying out his righteous laws about cutting off wrongdoers often involves and affects relatives.

  as mentioned above, when an israelite wrongdoer was executed, no more family association was possible.

  in fact, if a son was a drunkard and a glutton, his parents were to bring him before the judges, and if he was unrepentant, the parents were to share in the just executing of him, 'to clear away what is bad from the midst of israel.

  To the lurkers from the organization

  What do you think when you read these posts?

  Are your hearts so hardened that you really dont see the pain that your organization inflicts?

  I read and I cry inside.yet you call me apostate

  From your own mouths you show who you really serve.

  Did not Jesus himself say its better that a mill stone were tied around a mans neck

  than to hurt one of these little children

  i received this e-mail from my sister (known here as 'nikita') on february 12th:

  hi guys, just to fyi we had a fire that started in our dryer on tuesday night-fortunately, i was home (with ann's baby) and caught it at the early stages and was able to call the fire dept (another fortunate thing was our firemen just happened to be having a meeting and responded before the whistle sounded from the 911 center.

  ) but, even so, by the time they got here it was only minutes away from blowing as at the top of our basement stairs the temp.

(Deuteronomy 21:18-21) You can appreciate that this would not have been easy for them. Imagine, too, how the wrongdoer's brothers, sisters, or grandparents felt. Yet, their putting loyalty to their righteous God before family affection could be lifesaving for them.

  The Bible encourages us to check our beliefs against what it teaches. (1 John 4:1) Millions of readers of this magazine can testify that doing so has added purpose and stability to their lives. So be like the noble-minded Beroeans. 'Carefully examine the Scriptures daily' before you decide what to believe.

  http://www.watchtower.org/library/na/index.htm?article=article_02.htm

  With the Christian Greek Scriptures, the "New Testament," the situation is different. Manuscripts of the book of Revelation (the last book of the Bible) have God's name in its abbreviated form, "Jah," (in the word "Hallelujah"). But apart from that, no ancient Greek manuscript that we possess today of the books from Matthew to Revelation contains God's name in full.

  http://www.watchtower.org/library/na/index.htm?article=article_02.htm

  Thus it is evident that the original pronunciation of God's name is no longer known. Nor is it really important. If it were, then God himself would have made sure that it was preserved for us to use. The important thing is to use God's name according to its conventional pronunciation in our own language.

  http://www.watchtower.org/library/w/1995/11/1a/article_01.htm

  Wisely, Solomon said: "Do not go forth to conduct a legal case hastily." (Proverbs 25:8) If there is some valid reason to suspect that the alleged perpetrator is still abusing children, a warning may have to be given. The congregation elders can help in such a case. Otherwise, take your time. Eventually, you may be content to let the matter drop. If, though, you want to confront the alleged perpetrator (after first assessing how you would feel about the possible responses), you have a right to do so.

  If the elders are approached by a member of the congregation who is experiencing flashbacks or "repressed memories" of child abuse, two of them are usually assigned to help. These elders should kindly encourage the afflicted one to focus for the time being on coping with the emotional distress. The names of any "remembered" abusers should be kept in strict confidence.

  If the accusation is denied, the elders should explain to the accuser that nothing more can be done in a judicial way. And the congregation will continue to view the one accused as an innocent person. The Bible says that there must be two or three witnesses before judicial action can be taken
