I don't quite understand. Your mother was your witness in the beginning? OK I can understand that. What I don't understand was why she remained in the room after she said her comments. After that point she became an observer to the meeting which is not permissable. Anyone to enlighten me? Thanks.

Daily Text with comments from my crazy mom
by unique1 indo not be loving either the world or the things in the world.
john
if we find delight in jehovahs word, the desire of the flesh and the desire of the eyes and the showy display of ones means of life will lose much of their allure.

When Did the Strangulation Begin?
by XJW4EVR inat what point in time, do you think, that the gripping control began by the gb on the r&f?.
i realize that there had always been a control issue with the leadership at crooklyn that has been documented back to c.t.
russell.

Russel may have had some control but allowed conscience thought to allow personal decisions. He even went as far as saying that visitors to the memorial could partake and we would'nt chastise them.
The real change was when Rutherford took over. He was the power lover.

To Snitch or Not To Snitch and HOW?
by Inquisitor ini was happily day-dreaming the other day.
and somehow i thought of the witnesses i've personally known who've gone to china to spread watchtower propaganda.
and then this absolutely malevolent thought struck me.

Sorry but no. My object is not to cause harm to a person but to an organization. To reveal a missionaries name to a member of another country could cause harm to the person. You don't know what that country will do prior to releasing the person, if they release them at all. Remember, the crime of proselytizing in some countries is punishable by death.
I don't want the WTS destroyed by killing off 6 million witnesses. That would only add fuel to their argument that they were right after all. Persecution! The WTS has taught its members that they will be persecuted. So we would be helping and proving them right. By getting the WTS to fall apart from the top down. Brick by brick with means outside the persecution realm. Using their lies, their words against them. Everytime they simplify™ it means that money is tight. They sell off a Brooklyn building or two, claim simplification, buy printing presses that do more and faster but without operators, reduce magazines by a quarter, paperback bibles instead of leatherbound. All these things are evidence that they are on a financial brink.
Let's help them over the edge by educating the ones still in and going after the general public.
Church seminars on JW tactics.
Letter writing to paper editors Post cards to JW's and to the Branch in Crooklyn.
Each person kept out or causing someone to open their eyes to the unscriptural teachings of the WTS and walk away will help by adding financial burden on the WTS. Make the finanical strain even tighter.
I woke up early this morning with a thought of a Real Documentary on life after JW's. I started sketching it out. Is it just therapy or will it develop into something, I don't know yet.
Please remember. It isn't the R&F people that are bad. Just the teachings.

carrot, egg or coffee?
a young woman went to her mother and told her about her life and how things were so hard for her.

I hope it wasn't in a public talk. I'd hate to have those repressive memories come back to haunt me. My wife got that in an email and I found several versions by googling. I like coffee. I hope I'm closer to coffee than to a hard boiled egg.

They are coming out a lot faster then going in
by Lady Lee inelsewhere posted this on another thread so i'm just going to copy it here.

Four families have left the local organization/congregation within the last 16 or so months. This is a whole lot better than one person every 26 years. I know of two bible studies™ who have decided that the Witnesses do not have the truth and are stopping their studies. I feel so sad for the pioneers who won't have those hours to report on. Our work as just started. What will they do now?

by Elsewhere ina source within the watchtower society asked me to post this information regarding the blood email drive that happened in late february 2006. in the email was a news article written by richard n. ostling (included below).here is what the wts source asked me to post: looks like the blood email drive has the boys at bethel in a fit.
rumor has it that hundreds of calls where received at bethel from across the country because the sender was "gary broux" (a heavy in the service department).
concerned jws wanted to know if gary had gone apostate.

Bethel has assured concerned callers that this was evil apostates and that the Legal Department is looking to suing for "slander".
Why are the looking to sue for slander?
James 1:2-3 Consider it all joy, my brothers, when YOU meet with various trials, 3 knowing as YOU do that this tested quality of YOUR faith works out endurance
Matthew 5:12 Rejoice and leap for joy, since YOUR reward is great in the heavens; for in that way they persecuted the prophets prior to YOU.
Acts 5:41 These, therefore, went their way from before the San´he·drin, rejoicing because they had been counted worthy to be dishonored in behalf of his name.
1 Peter 4:14 If YOU are being reproached for the name of Christ, YOU are happy, because the [spirit] of glory, even the spirit of God, is resting upon YOU.
