  Why all the secrecy in Gods organisation?

  by Truthexplorer in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  looking back and seeing all the secrecy and cover ups throughout wt history such as the secret elders books, the branch correspondence guidelines, the shameful lying and deceipt exposed during the arc questioning, the in-house way of dealing with things, the lack of openness to the media on issues such as blood or child abuse or anything controversial for that matter.

  could this relate in some way to russell's alleged past as a freemason?

  it seems quite strange that the founder of the bible students quite possibly may have been a freemason, (an organisation well known for its secrecy).

  All dictatorial organizations, not just cults, maximize manipulation and control of their subjects. Secrecy is one of the tools. Connections to Freemasonry are irrelevant.

  thought it might be an interesting exercise to read the variety of questions people might ask.

  The people are mobilizing Mr Drumpf

  protesters shut down a trump rally.

  massive numbers of people are out in chicago and have shut his event down.

  there were scuffles inside the event.. despite his lame attempt to pretend the violence he instigates is nothing to do with him it's clear that it is as the cnn quotes during the last event showed only too well.. this doesn't happen at anyone else's events - candidates have even given up the stage to protesters, not called for them to be beaten and punched.. trump is an ugly person and this is just a small taste of what a future under his rule would be like.. shame on the gop for not kicking his ass out.

  I too saw the movie. It was great but it had one big flaw in it. The Witness child talks about "burning in hell" which, as we all know, is not a Witness concept.

  i am very interested in getting crisis of conscience being fully available as soon as possible.

  march 12th will mark exactly three months since the cease-and-desist letter was written.. i understand that things are slow and that deborah may be sick, but i was just wondering if anyone knew the status.

  i have been asked twice already where the book can be obtained in spanish and i have told people that the book is not available.. there are ways to make ebooks extremely hard to share.

  I've got a copy of CoC in Spanish. It's buried somewhere in my garage but with some motivation I could try to unearth it. It's in mint condition last time I checked. Contact me if you are interested.

  LUHE:

  So to some up, Jacob, a politician lied.

  It's what he lies about that matters. Essentially, what you're doing is making up excuses for the man.

  What would have been the reason to not elect Hitler in Germany? The Germans should have known by his character who and what he was but they too had 'concerns' about the way things were in their nation. Hitler got only 44% of the votes but they were people who were highly motivated by his hate mongery.

  As far as the "ordinary voters" and their concerns you are dealing with people who have been brainwashed by Fox News and other hate mongers into having those concerns. Those "ordinary voters" do not represent 'ordinary' Americans. They make up about 1/3 of all Republicans (based on the voting percentages that Trump has been getting).
