Charles T Russell -a freemason and the connection to the illuminati...
by dolphman in
1. jw
2. friends
ok, i'm not one for conspiracy theories but lately i've uncovered some interesting facts that i think warrant some attention.. first of all, russell was a freemason.

all the early watchtower and books he authored have freemason symbology and art throughout them.

not a big deal i thought, until i read more about freemasons and the so-called "illuminati", a group of 13 families that supposedly control the world.. supposedly these 13 families, such as the duponts, mcdonalds, kennedys, .

"Volunteer Ministers" - Background checks?
by Uzzah in
1. watchtower
2. scandals
i am very active as a volunteer with an international relief organziation.

a few weeks back i attended a volunteer management seminar hosted by this group.. even in times of disaster, any and all volunteers have to go through a screening process, including 2 interviews plus a police background check.

this is not a 'suggestion' but it was inferred that canadian law requires this to be done for any volunteer based organization when the volunteers would have direct access to the public or be put in a position of trust.. bethel proudly declares their force of volunteer ministers at the branch as well as calling publishers by the same name.

i just saw on the local news that a jw i have personally met and whose family i know was arrested for child pornography.

he is only about 30 years old.

this is the second case in 2 months involving an arrest for a child sex crime within the same congregation (the man on the news actually moved away a few years ago).

Attorneys: Challenge WT's Nonprofit Tax Exempt Status
by oneofmany in

.

to stay nonprofit watchtower must not just be working some "for the public good" but being doing so without killing their members (blood issue), denying consitution-granted rights and responsibilities (freedom of speech etc).. therefore why not challenge their tax-free exemptions and get them removed from non-profit status.

Danish accuser admits it was all just lies!
by TheOldHippie in
1. watchtower
2. child-abuse
the danish newspaper which has told so many stories about youths being molested in denmark by jws recently, today brings the story that the woman who came forth with the most sensational ones of these stories, how she and others were molested by groups of elders during baptismal preparations etc.

- to the police has admitted it was all nothing but lies.. i just wonder if silentlambs and the danish posters here will be as quick to bring these news and the translation out to the people just as quickly as they did when the original story was given by the newspaper?.

it is very boring to say "what did i tell you?
