I was talking to a friend in a congregation where a Bethel Elder and his wife were asked to go to law school for the Society. He will be graduating this year. They were known as "ken & Barbie".

The Watchtower's Achilles Heel
by metatron inrecent events strongly suggest that the watchtower has a. severe, if not fatal, weakness.. lack of education - and intelligent management.. over the past several years, the governing body has emphasized.
a program of 'simplification' - a plain response to the demands.

Mulan, thank you for letting us share in your sadness on this date. The story hurts my heart. How painful for all of you who went through this and how very traumatic for the girls at that age to lose thier mother in that way. Your brother has had to deal with such heavy grief. No wonder he was never the same. It was not his fault. He was led to believe that his wife would live if he remained "faithful". The are going to have to give an account someday.

Randy, I remember when this article came out because of the picture on the cover. The white haired guy is one of the elders in the pedophile congregation in North Jersey. He was on the judicial committe that re-instated the Pedophile whilst reminding victims to keep silent. Talking about propaganda, WT fills the bill on all the points they make regarding propaganda. Don't you love how they talk about themselves? [:)

My Crazy Mother!
by Ranchette inhere i thought i was going to get through the memorial season in peace this year.. how wrong i was!.
was this supposed to be a memorial invitation?.
yesterday i got an unexpected phone call from my mom.. i said hi and asked her how she was.. she said not very good.. i told her i was sorry to hear that and that i was concerned about her health problems and asked if she had had any tests done or gotten results.. she said no thats not why she wasnt doing well.. i could tell from the tone of her voice that this wasnt going to be pretty.. she told me that the reason she wasnt doing well is because the memorial was coming up,.

Ranchie, looks like mom is alive and well!!! You're doing fine trying to stick to issues unrelated to Bible Doctrine, like concern for her physical health. Her wanting to keep a secret and not tell about the bad things her religion is doing to you and Bill is so like the perpetrative way WT followers act. This way she is fee to spirtitually and emotionally hurt you and your family with emotional blackmail and hurtful head games without the knowledge of her parents. Stick to your boundaries you are doing fine.
(((((((Ranchette)))))))Love, B

Alan and Julie, How very frightening this must have been for you. You have lived every parents nightmare when their children start driving. I remember when this happened to our daughter coming home from school.The glass of the windshield and passenger window shattered and when we got to the hospital they were removing peices of glass from her face. It was horrible. Please know our hearts are with you. If you need to call and talk we are here for you.

Who ARE These People?
by Farkel init bears reminding people that there are a number of very high ranking men in brooklyn who are quite aware that the practice of disfellowshiping for just-about-anything is totally unscriptural.
they are aware of stories like the young girl who committed suicide did so because her sister caught her smoking a cigarette and threatened to turn her in.
they are aware that their blood transfusion policy is not supported by scripture and that approximately 10,000 jws were not given a chance to save their lives as a result.

Hi Farkel, you are absolutely right in your thoughts about these people who have access and direct communication with GB members. Living close to Bethel and having many bethelites commute to the congregations in the area I lived in, we had many of these bethelites stay with us in our home. Some were bethel speakers who worked closely with GB members. I remember on saying that the GB were "assholes" and because of his position he could not air his feelings. His logic was that "when we all get to the otherside of Armegeddon, those who think that they are princes, will be hearing the words, "here Prince" , comeon boy. Good boy Prince. In otherwords, they will be as low as dogs. Like a dog named Prince. Has anyone else heard this statement?

Gawd!!!! after reading these "sad" witless conversations with one another, I realize why it was so hard at first after leaving the Borg, and talking about things that the rest of the human race talks about. Thier "pure language" is a verbally "poor language". That has been a delightful experience for me. Discovering that there are so many wonderful things to talk about with so many different people. My life has become so interesting and full after the initial depression after leaving something that was so trusted for so many years. I remember watching West Wing and found it at first so difficult to follow, since politics was something we were virtually removed from. There sure is a wonderful new life out there after breaking free of the borg chains of shame blame guilt condemnation, ignorance and all the negativity. Emancipation, is sweet.

A Good Day in Field Service is Totally Cool!
by D wiltshire inremember when you were a dub and hated to go out in service.
well i'm a df'd dub and i got my own message that i've printed up and i've been going to all the kingdumb hall i know and working the territory that surrounds the kingdumb hall with this tract, and the response is totally great, here is the tract i use:.
jehovahs witnesses keep coming to your door because they dont want you to be destroyed at armagedon.. all members believe they belong to the only true religion and every religion except theirs is from the devil, and that god will destroy you for not being a jehovahs witness at armagedon.. you must serve the watchtower and let the watchtower control your life or die eternally that is what the jehovahs witness believe.. .

I've wondered what it would be like to go into the territory they are currently working in on a particular day and tell the houses ahead of them what they believe, and pedophiles are free to study with their families, and they can find out more on the upcoming Dateline story.

by dmouse inwho will survive armageddon?.

It sounds to me like the Society is not doing the will of God but the will of Satan. And like Satan, rather than showing love, they want to see all of mankind destroyed. Wasn't it Satan who said to Eve, you positively will not die???? What a lie that was. Sounds like WT Organization is creating the same spin. Since everything the WT says keeps changing anyway, one lie after another they must be acting out like their father, the Devil, because the "truth" is not in them. I guess when false religion is the first to go, WT will be right up there in the front.
