Forgetting about God ?

i see some of you have been hurt or feel mislead with the organization.

even if you dont like the organization and choose not to be apart of it, i can see where you come from.

what i dont understand is why some of you take out your frustrations on god.

I think we have a broad church of beliefs here if you pardon the phrase. I don't take my frustrations out on god but do wonder why people follow Christianity or for that matter any religion. I am offended by such beliefs in the same way any religious practitioner has the right to take offence to my lack of belief. You talk of sins that are wrong to both the WTS and the the bible but that does not automatically make them all morally acceptable to non believers. I left the org and Christianity at the same time because I saw flaws in both and many of the flaws is saw in the org had their roots in the good book.

So hello, tell us a bit about yourself.

"7 up" young JW search

by mtbatoon in

in the 60's there was a bbc documentary called 7 up that followed a group of seven year olds at seven year intervals throughout there lives.

quite a few years ago i saw a u.s version and on it there was a dub grub who lived on a farm somewhere.

i never got to see any more of the shows and wondered if he grew up to give a good witness to american tv land or ended up going the predictable route that we have come to know and love.

A bit more digging and I've found out the documentary was called “7-UP in America” or “Aged 7 in America” It was first filmed in 1991 with the kids being aged 7 so he would now be 21-22 and the next instalment should have been aired or will be aired soon.

Thanks Listener but I think that's the original UK series. The U.S one I saw was possibly in the late 80's or early to mid 90's, might have been 7 or 14 up. Anyone?

Yep that's the one. Even though I'd been out for a while I was envious of his fancy shooting.

Does anyone think the WTS is actually a 'front' organization?

by truth_about_the_truth in

i've been thinking about this for a little while and it appears that this is a possibility.

although i cant say that there is solid evidence, it looks as if the clues are there:.

- clandestine involvement with the un as an ngo.

Masonic symbols pop up everywhere and lead anyone who wants to follow them on a wild goose chase. That's their purpose. When you say that you've traced the WTS back to the Masons but is this a revelation or are you just following the paper trail you were meant to follow?

Why is there so much information about these so called secret societies and why do they have all this esoteric mumbo jumbo?

Again it's a diversion. We humans want to know that hidden secret, that bit of information we can reveal to the world and in the same light show ourselves to be the great detective.

Now the first question. Who is laying, or as I think is more likely getting others to lay, this false trail?

The second question is why are they doing it?

For money? Not likely in the WTS case, much more money could be made in business or in drugs, if this “organisation X” has been around long enough to have created or meddled in secret societies it would not only have made and control enough money but the position they would be in money would become pointless except as a way of keeping score in a game where they are the only player.

Control? Most likely. But control for the sake of control or to humanities benefit or detriment? That I wont even begin to speculate on.

anyone else playing?

this game totally rocks!

only problem i am having is overheating.

Don't knock the pally.

There are plenty that play them Mr goody two shoes but the class is actually based on the Knight Templars. They are not just a balance to evil but a unwavering devotion to their chosen deity. If a village was tainted with evil then a pally would raise it to the ground including women and children.
