Even the worst offender does not reproach Jehovah's name... such a man brings reproach on that human organization that goes by the name of Jehovah's Witnesses.
Exactly
what would be your reply?.
my reply: jehovah is big enough to take care of himself.. yours?.

last week my mother (i live with her) gave me some clues that she finally awoke, and well, that came to be true and we now speak openly against many many things i considered taboo to talk to her.
so with that achieved, it was time for a delayed duty, i took my typewriter one wrote my da letter, and signed it with my favorite fountain pen, with my "trade mark" royal blue ink (everyone in the hall knew me for using that color and type of pen).
i will hand it to the elders tomorrow, in february 14th, the "day of love".
Frame the pen and mount it on the wall. A date attached, written with that fountain pen, would be a nice touch.
If someone asks about it you may choose to tell them it just has special meaning to you. A gift I gave myself that day.
the september 2015 broadcast had david splane explain matthew 24:34 “truly, i say to you, this generation will not pass away until all these things take place”.
his explanation of this scripture was by means of a chart to indicate an overlapping generation.. .
no scripture was used to show the overlapping generation concept, and as a result it makes no sense.. to illustrate how crazy this concept is, look at the lyrics of the song my generation.. my generation.

'...Many years ago I played chess with a weaker opponent, and in the end game I had 5 or 6 queens on the board.( I do not remember exactly how many) Anyway, you should have seen the smile on his face when the game ended in stalemate. But during the game and before the promotions of so many pawns, I found it necessary to move my knight to another square when I saw it was in danger. After making the move, I remarked "The knight retreats." He responded by exclaiming: "The knight doesn't retreat. It roams the board! I thought to myself: "What a brilliant observation!" I had never saw it that way before and my view of the knight in a chess game changed forever.
True story...'
WOW!
this video will be played at one of the clam meetings in march 2016.. the content is kind of old news because it is a recut version of a previous video produced for the elder's school.
however, it's still significant because it shows that the organization still has dissenting brothers in positions of leadership.. my thanks to the leaker.
feel free to claim credit here.
Mary - " I've even had thoughts of turning the car on in the garage and going to sleep inside. "
Elder #1 - Now, now Mary. Please don't even think that way. It's such a beautiful day outside. Why not get out and enjoy it. Maybe take the car down to the park.
Elder #2 - Yes, Mary, you should do that. Joan and myself like to go to River Park. They even have a nice, new bridge over the river. Why not drive down in your car and park. You could walk out onto the new bridge and enjoy the view of the water down below. It will be a real comfort to you.
Elder #1 - Excellent idea Brother.
this took quite a while this evening.
so worth it though.
hope you enjoy!

WTF?

i'm not really sure where to post this.. i've been with my boyfriend for 4 months now and i've really never been happier.
i was brought up in the church of christ with an elder father and i really believe in my religion, although i will admit to being a lousy christian at times due to sheer laziness (not wanting to get out of bed on sunday).
my boyfriend essentially lives with me.

RUN!!!
Unless you like the feeling of a shredded heart.
many members of this forum speculate that the lawsuits faced by the watchtower society are leading to its demise or at least putting incredible pressure on its ability to function as it has in the past.
the reports from wt and awake articles regarding the catholic church give credence to these members arguments.. note: comments by the society often have them taking the moral 'high ground'.
examination of the australian royal commission testimony and findings would leave any 'thinking person' shaking their head in disbelief.

I don't think that there is any other faith group that publishes negative articles about different denominations like the WT
Rutherford, of course, was the absolute zenith of ripping into other religious organizations. Fred Franz was a poor second, but it did continue for many decades after Rutherford.
Continue, diminish and then, in 2016, disappear.

All your quotations are at least from 4 years ago - before the proverbial sh*t hit the fan with lawsuits against the organization.
I am surprised that they printed such quotes as late as 2011. Very little has been printed in the last 10 years and of course we know that a 'fogging the members memory' campaign has been in full swing for many years. Hence the inability to access printed literature before 2000. Who would have thought that the internet would be used as a tool to reduce a groups knowledge of the past? Every detail of history should be recorded accurately and made available to everyone. Let the 'chips fall where they may'.The Watchtower Society has taken the opposite position. We see two forces working at odds with each other. The Watchtower trying to obscure history and others, of whom this forums' members constitute a part, trying to expose and reveal history. Really amazing to watch it unfold daily.
