  Who Is Engineering the Re-branding of Jehovahs Witnesses

  2. beliefs

  is it an outside source?.

  an inside job?

  maybe the younger gb "helpers"?.

  If they abandon shunning and permit whole blood transfusions it's significant

  The rest is just window dressing and a reminder who is holding the leash.

  Jehovah Witness promotion of JW.org as the place to get answers to all of lifes important question is the height of arrogance

  by Brokeback Watchtower in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  we are hearing reports of this promotion of the website by the jw and it seems to be a resource for them to dodge questions of their faith, when they don't have or want to give an answer to a question they direct the house holder to the organization/corporation's website to get the answer as if it really existed.there.. i think soon they are going to drop the door to door work all together as completely unprofitable, i mean their donation arrangement is a complete flop and has cost them i'm sure so they are in the process of shipping as many as they can into building up real estate for the corporation, because that is where the money is right now.. the whole jw.org is just a complete failure as a source of good information and only scare away people except the most vulnerable/gullible.. .

  "it is perfectly apparent that god is monstrous, utterly monstrous, and deserves no respect whatsoever.

  the moment you banish him, your life become purer, simpler, cleaner; more worth living in my opinion.".

  success has many parents, Kate. Failure is an orphan.

  Perhaps that explains why this site is so successful :-)

  What I Saw & Heard in the Oral Argument Hearing on January 14, 2015

  by ABibleStudent in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  im not an attorney and i could not record the hearing, so please forgive me if i make mistakes in relating what i remember of the oral argument hearing for jane doe (i.e., candace conti) versus the watchtower bible & tract society on january 14, 2015 and the length of this post.. i arrived at the civic center/union plaza in san francisco, ca about 7:30. the area is very nice with a few homeless people sleeping in the park across from the courthouse.

  it took me about 10 minutes to find the clerks office for the court on the first floor, which opened at 8:00.. once the clerks office opened, the two clerks who i talked with were very polite and helpful.

  the arguments for jane doe (i.e., candace conti) versus the watchtower bible & tract society were scheduled 5th out of (i think) 8. while i was in the office a cameraman and another person for nbc arrived asking about the hearing for candace contis case.. the courtroom for the 1st appellate court is on the 4th floor and takes up most of that floor.

  By and large its futile for armchair quarterbacks (on either side) to second-guess the judicial system.

  Most times the judge(s) have decided who deserves to win and will construct their judgment accordingly.

  there are many things wrong with the world, many injustices and crimes committed.

  what if we could stop one of them?

  wouldn't it make the world a slightly better place?
