  Why don't you do anything?

  by WireRider in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  i'm not jw, so i see this all standing up and very clear from an outsider perspective (i am still seeking my path).

  i joined the blog a few weeks ago.

  i dated a divorced jw (jw from birth) for a couple of years recently.

  WireRider: "A letter campaign. Mail bomb them."

  There are people, in a good position to do that, that are planning such a mail bombing. That's all I can say without revealing those plans.

  Printing Company to Video Production Company - Insider Information

  by thedepressedsoul in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  many people think that wt is a publishing company and at one time that was true.

  however, they are slowly fading that out into more digital publications.

  we all have come to the conclusion that printed material from the wt is going way of the dinosaur.

  In your links section at the bottom; where you have recommended books listed; Crisis of Conscience and The Gentile Times Reconsidered are linked to Amazon where you have ridiculously overpriced copies.

  I suggest that you link both to free PDF copies that are available online.

  Cedars leaked letter requested to be taken down by WTBTS

  by umbertoecho in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  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.

  Fading Truth:

  "Village Idiot, are you volunteering to reimburse Simon for all legal costs and time spent to fight something that has been leaked sufficiently across the Internet?"

  I don't know what's involved in a counter notification but if it's a simple procedure that doesn't need any legal aid it should be done.

  cappytan:

  "Cedars addressed why he didn't issue the counter notification."

  Yes, but that was a mistake since it will only encourage the Watchtower to do that in the future with his site and other sites that duplicate their letters.

  What would we think if Simon were issued such a notification? We would want him to fight it!

  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.

  Are the GB very intelligent men with higher than average IQ? Or are they stupid men who were put in their position by sheer “LUCK”

  by John Aquila in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  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.

  You don't go to the top of any hierarchy by sheer luck nor do you have to be a genius (unless it's a tech company).

  Had you thought of feeling sorry for the G.B?

  by The Rebel in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  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.

  All they're going to do is refer you back to their publications on the issue. It hardly matters whether those books cover your specific points or not.

  EXACTLY Why JW's Are NOT Christian

  by Perry in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  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.
