Dear Apostates

by wanderlustguy in

well well well, kicking the puppy was fun.

for those of you unfamiliar with the term, it is bashing and bitching about the org, which i was happy to do.

also with it i found an intense sense of a need to help, and to get involved.

i am trying to obtain a copy of the douglas walsh case -scotland 1954, or other court transcripts where gb members took the stand and testimony was given pertaining to being the "channel", "1914", the ability to translate ancient languages or other salient topics.

i think there was a trial in nyc about the same period where some of these topics were covered.. if any one can direct me where i can obtain copies of these i would appreciat it.

Hmmmmmmm...

Your page is 348 which mentions the "worthy of death" response. My page 322 speaks of "unity at all costs", but then, instead of going into the "worthy of death" response, just shows 3 lines of periods. I'm wondering if there may be 2 transcript copies, each with its own nuances. Any way you could possibly give me links to your page on scan it in?

In the February 15, 1927 Watchtower, the "slave" is identified by Rutherford as the WBTS organization and not an individual (Charles Taze Russell).

Leolaia:

Could you check your Walsh transcript copy on page 322 and tell me if you have all periods where "deserving of death" should be? That was Hayden Covington's response under cross-examination, but is missing from my National Archives copy which I obtained last year.

Thx

Watchtower Gives Up Explaining 607 BCE Date!

by VM44 in

this is a very important observation, that the watchtower has not tried to explain in print why 607 bce is the year for the destruction of jerusalem for the last 17 years!!!.

all that the watchtower has done over most of the last two decades is to repeat over and over the year "607bce" in its publications as if it is an unquestioned fact!.

the last time an explaination for the year was attempted by the watchtower was in 1988 when the "insight" volumes were published, but since then, no explaination for the validity of the year has appeared in print.. this must mean something, but what?

THE MOTIVES OF GOOD JWS WHO POST ON THIS SITE

by steve2 in

while i think it's perfectly okay, i do wonder what motivates jws to post here and especially to also express views critical of ex-jws.

is it the freudian notion of "projection": the jw who denounces something in others that he or she is also guilty of?

hence, if a jw clearly denounces an apostate's faults, it must mean the jw is really against apostasy when it might be something he or she struggles with.

Has anyone ever stopped to consider that the Borg could very well have its own Men In Black? A special group of individuals whose "spirituality" is virtually impervious to apostate arguments? Functioning under a specially sanctioned department as a "Joshua/Caleb" class who are charged with the task of "spying out the land" and engaging in anti-apostate guerilla tactics on various web sites? Just a thought.

King has become Jehovah... oops

king has become jehovah .... .

pardon me i guess the book is "jehovah himself has become king.".

like many in this forum i engaged the persona "you know" on many occasions back on h20.. .

This ain't sKally, but what the hay. Yes, Walter Reyes is the fake name initially used by Robert King to register as the domain owner. "Rey" is Spanish for "king". The address is actually an old mail drop address which is no longer being used in Toronto. The names of WBTS people, J.R. Brown and Mark Ruge, are used as contacts. The phone numbers are actually the WBTS phone numbers in Canada. It appears to have been quite a ruse by Mr. King. As I've recently stated, there is more to this fellow than meets the eye.

why bother to prove something which is all based on myth and tales anyway?

My sentiments exactly. I believe there is more than meets the eye with Robert King and the e-watchman site. Some of you know what I mean.

The Borg's own date for Nebuchadnezzar's death of 582 BCE (Pay Attention to Daniel's Prophecy! book, Chapter 7, pg. 99) still leaves 'em 20 years short if you add the regnal years of Nebuchadnezzar's successors (adds up to 23 yrs.). But wasn't that the plan? To "bury" those years by changing Nebuchadnezzar's reign from 605-562 BCE to 624-582 BCE to make 607 "fit"? Don't need rocket science to figure this one out.
