Are those letters copyrighted?
Cedars should have issued a counter notification. By taking his letter off his site he is simply encouraging the Watchtower to keep issuing those complaints in the future.
i don't know if this is already posted so sorry people if it is.
cedars site has had a request to take down the leaked letter regarding changes to the theocratic ministry school and other issues.. the reason given by wt is that it is a "copyright" issue.
of course this validates the letters authenticity even more.. have a good day or night people.

are the governing body of the wt wickedly smart with extremely high iq or are they leaders of the wt because they were at the right place at the right time.
(in other words, pure luck )-think lottery.
ive seen them talk in jwtv and you can never convince anyone in the whole world that these guys are in the same category as someone smart or cunning like jim simons who founded renaissance technologies or bill gates.
i only bring this to the board, because a friend of mine once said he felt sorry for the footballers who made so much money.
that comment stayed with me, and over the years,the more i thought about that comment the more i agreed with him.. i admit the g.b destroy people's life's and are the sublimation of all that's good in people's life.
there only excuse is a fantazy asylum they claim to believe in.
The Rebel:
Ok my point of the O.P was, by resenting the G.B, the only person I am hurting is myself.
No. You can hate Nazis and other evil people without hurting yourself.
Maybe I am selfish, but what good does it do me to fick, suit, and piss my life away hating the G.B.
We're not pissing our lives away but are, through this forum, helping others that might be pissing their lives away in the Org.
Why not just feel sorry for them and move on?
You can move on without pitying or feeling sorry for them.
I mean I can't just pretend they didn't exist. So I can either hate them or pity them?
I am not wasting my life on hate I choose pity any day?
Just because we hate the WT doesn't mean our entire lives are consumed by hatred.
But I also appreciate the comments that offer justified reasons why they hate the G.B.
I am just talking about where I am in life.
There are many here who have reached the last stage of leaving the Org but still hate them. Hatred is not something you have to grow out of.
i've decided to go full public with a new username on this forum.
it's been almost a decade since i've been out and i don't care at this point who knows.
that being said, here's a letter that i'm mailing to bethel.
a lot of people, ex-jws, believers and unbelievers alike, think that jw's are just a somewhat kooky brand of christianity.
is it possible to "try and follow jesus" and not be christian?
what exactly makes someone a christian?
So Perry, do you believe that Catholicism is Christian? There's more of them than JWs and Mormons combined.
i found this picture and i just can't believe it?

first person to say, "this scishow episode is a monsanto conspiracy," is a rotten egg..
GodZoo:
"9. GMOs do not increase yields, and work against feeding a hungry world."
It's irrelevant whether they increase yields per acre since the greater a yield you have the more fertilizer you need. Synthetic fertilizer by the way is made from natural gas which isn't going to be sustainable.
As for the "hungry world" there will always be a food shortage because of population increase. Increasing yields will only provide a temporary band-aid solution. There is a law of diminishing returns in everything and that would include yields.
if an (aggressive) real estate fund is stopping it's operations directly,.
and if an publishing house is minimize the portfolio,.
and if a member of it's board of directors is telling the costs are higher then the profits,.
i'll try to keep this short.
my experience at the hall is elders not really engaging in friendship building communication with anyone.
the only time they really communicate with you is to counsel you or tell you where you need to make adjustments.
