  Danni,

  Quote: "People keep this in mind, most protest end in violent rioting so please be safe and organized if you feel this is something you must do."

  I have taken part in several demonstrations at Watchtower Headquarters. PFO Ministries used to take a bus load of ex-jws to Brooklyn each year the day before the Pennsylvania convention.

  I believe you must have a police permit to demonstrate so the police keep an eye on the demo. Also WT headquarters began expecting us, so they had the Bethelites use tunnels to go between buildings, so there were very few JWs on the sidewalks while we were there.

  That being the case I doubt there is much danger of violence.

  q 3: what is the "evil slave vs good slave" i read this ealier sounds more like a movie in hollywood.. q 4: why would any one want to be a slave.

  q 5: why not give a child blood to save their lives.

  Just wanted to add one thing. I didn't see anyone mention it yet. Which slave was it that was so interested in when the master would return? The faithful slave went about the Master's business and paid no attention to trying to guess the exact time of the Masters return. On the other hand the evil slave wanted to know exactly when the Master would return so that he could pretend to be a good slave, doing the Master's business. Wonder what religious organization has spent so much of their time, writing, etc. on the time of the Master's return?

  Hi Magog,

  Congratulations on taking your first steps. Besides the books already mentioned I enjoy the newsletters of Randy Watters and MacGregor Ministries. Along with articles they also have letters from people just searching and/or leaving the WT.

  Ladonna,

  Yes, it certainly is true. You can find the deed where the property was deeded to the patriarchs, and very much material on the matter. There is a book by Ed Gruss detailing Beth Sarem, Beth Shan and other things. I think it is called "Monuments to Watchtower False Prophecies" or something like that.

  Apostate minimum qualifications

  by Mum in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i was a baptized jw, so now i, to the best of my understanding, am regarded as an apostate by jw's in good standing.. my daughter was never baptized, but she so wants to be an apostate that i have taken pity on her and decided to find out if she qualifies anyway.

  she was brought up as a jw.

  after i left her dad, she mostly lived with him so that the indoctrination could continue.. she lost her religion anyway, so is there any hope for her to be considered an apostate.

  Amnesian,

  I seriously recommend that you write a book, you have a good start. If you do, I want to buy an autographed copy. Thanks

  PS I have 4 daughters in the WT and 3 sisters, many other family members. My daughters started out very independant and spirited, I loved that. You can guess "the rest of the story"

  by moman in

  2. friends

  a long, long, time ago, when, i waz in dubland,i asked a question to a coulpe of fellow dubs.

  the "question" got me a lot of strange looks & a little "shunning" to boot.

  it waz later spread around i waz boasting of having, "a question no one can answer"which of course, waz not true.. my question: if every decision one makes iz based on heredity & environment,things we originaly have no choice over, do we really have a choice or free will?.

  This Bible Not Original

  by FreePeace in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  here is an interesting article by a local columnist that underscores the invalidity of the christian religion as god's chosen one.

  it also casts serious doubt on the bible as well as jesus' originality.

  this is really nothing new to those of us who have researched it.. http://www.sun-herald.com/newsarchive2/122301/cl2.htm?date=122301&story=cl2.htm.

  COMF,

  They must have been doing some kind of magic tricks or they would not have been called magicians. (or whatever translation) But, the bible says they "copied" (somehow) what Moses was doing, but, for only the first three miracles, then, the real power was evident.
