Why the Mainstream Media's reluctance to publish WTS vs Quotes battle?
by EscapedLifer1 in

we were unable to generate any interest the first go-around with the wts threatening quotes, and now it seems the mainstream media is for the most part ignoring us again.. i have also sent out numerous releases and letters to local media outlets (newspaper, tv, etc.

) prior to a number of district conventions, and never got any kind of response nor did i ever see anything anything printed or broadcast except the "fluff" pieces they do about the convention, baptism, drama, blah, blah.

after reading several local articles, from several different cities, reciting how much $$$$ the conventions bring to each city, i have a feeling that, at least these cases regarding the dc's, the media doesn't want to go after a large contributor to the local economy.. but, what about this case, the lawsuit against quotes?

three times a week in the kingdom hall in miami, my brother and i strove to sit perfectly still in our chairs.

our mother carried a wooden spoon in her purse and was quick to take us outside for beatings if we fidgeted.

i sat onstage in the kingdom hall in surrey, england, where my father's job had taken us.

Without the "bodily reserrection of Jesus" there goes the "Trinity"
by booker-t in
1. watchtower
2. bible
the other day i ran into a jw elder that i knew many years ago as a teenager when i was a "devout" jw and he who has been a "devout" jw for over 40 years started to debate with me.

i tried to avoid him because i have basically stopped debating with jw's on the bible but since we both were at the "dmv" there was a long waiting period.

the elder started on the "trinity" doctrine and said that "born-again christians" hold onto the "bodily reserrection of jesus" doctrine not because they believe it but because they use it as a"magic wand" whenever that cannot answer scriptures that show jesus is less than the father.
