They sure do love to demand their "right" to freedom of religion. It is too bad they don't allow the freedom they so much demand to extend towards their own members. Freedom of speech??, freedom of religious opinion??

Hi Amanda, I was sitting in the livingroom haveing lunch and catching up on the news when I saw it run across the bottom. I waited for it to go around again to make sure I saw what I thought I saw. Then I posted here and a few minutes passed and my husband said it is being mentioned again that the State of Ohio has banned door to door work and Jehovah's Witnesses are speaking out that they have the right to go door to door.

Amanda & Joelbear, if you turn on CNN you will see news events running across the bottom of the screen during th Breaking News being discussed now. You might have to wait a few minutes because they keep playing the same news topics over again.

What is significant about 9/11?
by Seeker inmany jws have become excited by the events of 9/11 in the u.s., thinking that this is a definite sign of the imminent end of the system.
we have seen online jws talking about how these awful events were "prophecied in the bible" and how this is proof that armageddon is near.
we have heard reports of local jws saying the same things, including many of our family members.

Hello Seeker, I have also been questioning the JW response to the significance to 9/11. Some of the answers that come to my mind are the words and pictures that were drilled into our minds at the Bookstudy when we were studying the Revelation Book some years ago. In fact we studied it twice within a few years. The Bookstudy had been in our house for many years and we happened to have the DEAF Bookstudy. I remember the pictures were lavishly translated and described in ways that maybe regular bookstudies did not expound on. But what sticks out in my mind the most is that of the United Nations, and the Anglo-American world powers that were descibed. It is easy for American JW's who have been in for many years to recall that part of the Revelation Book and it's depiction of the Anglo-American speaking like a lamb etc etc. I have been really working at undoing a lot of the messages and programming that came from that book. Logically I can see how the WTBTS could say anything it wants to regarding the Anglo-American alliance because it has had access to the political arena for many years via the UN and also Joint Conferances in countries such as Australia, regarding the political discussions on religious envents and persecution. I think, as I have said before, the Watchtower likes to self fulfill thier own prophecies. So the R/F JW's can see these statements and think oh wow, the Society is really a prophet from Jehovah. That is why I think the reaction I have gotten from former JW friends is that I and my family are worthy of death like Korah because we have rejected God's "channel" or visible representative on earth today. JW's who keep their head in the sand are easily kept in line when they don't use thier critical thinking and reasoning powers. For myself, it was easy to begin to do that, as devout as I was, I experienced first hand the corruption of this "channel" over the policies regarding lies and coverups of pedophiles within the congregation. I began "seeing" with my own eyes what they were doing, and slowly the layers of the JW personality peeled away. Thankfully I and my family have escaped, and the events of 9/11 are really telling as far as the impact that these events DID NOT have on us to scare us into going back. But those old scare messages are always there and I continually must work to logically get rid of them . Just my thoughts

I agree, pettygrudger, they will have to curb the graphic pictures of death and destruction to non witnesses. I started a thread regarding the WT fulfilling thier own prophecies. I was hoping to get more of a response because this question has been on my mind but I don't feel like going into it all again on this thread. But I would really like some input. Sometimes the WT programming all comes back to me when I least expect it and the questions come. I would help if I got some answers to some of the questions I have been mulling around in my head.

I bet when they go in there they don't carry pictures of thier literature depicting burning buildings, people laying on the ground dying and JW's smiling with the devastation in the background. They are just taking advangtage of the vernerability of these tired weary men who are literally crushed in spirit. That is when JW's strike, when someone is at their lowest, most vulnerable state. Then the zero in with their cult propaganda not mentioning the dark side of the Watchtower message of Taliban-like thinking.

WT/UN/Self-fulfilled Prophecy?
by ARoarer ini was wondering if anyone has been wondering what i have been wondering.
it seems to me the wt likes to read the bible and then pick out scriptures to make self-fulfill.
if they for the last 10 years have been a member of the un as an ngo to secretly recieve the benefits of that position, they are also using the current events to further their image as the "true" religion.

This thought just came to my mind. What if we notified local news papers about the WT suddenly withdrawing thier 10 year membership with the United Nations?

Yes, wannahelp, it is sick and disgusting, and again, I re-iterate that they have all the same trappings that the Taliban have when it comes to imposing fear, guilt, shame, and punishment. Seeing first hand how this is carried out through the ones they designate as taking the lead, and how they abuse thier leadership roll by threatening death to those who are not obedient or percieved as loyal.I do hope that the media somehow picks up on WT publications graphic depictions of the UN, beasts, destruction of cities on fire etc. Yes it is truly sickening.
