I'm so glad you escaped too, Metatron! I'm hoping the same for my son. I believe one day he'll see through the deception of the WTS and leave.
Oh happy day!

i count my blessings.
i picked up a kingdom ministry for february and saw, once again, the mindless horror that the organization has evolved into.
there's the grade school reading level.

FROM RICK FEARON of the SIX SCREENS OF THE WATCHTOWER (www.sixscreensofthewatcher.com):
The conference call for this week is entitled "BLOOD NIGHT". Upwards of 9,000 Jehovah's Witnesses die for refusing blood transfusions each year. More people including innocent children have died and continue to die every year than those who died in the killer cults of Waco, Jonestown , and the Heaven's Gate cult put together due to the ever changing blood policies of the Watchtower Organization. Our special guests on the conference call this week, Saturday Jan. 31,2009, will be Kerry Louderback-Wood, author of an essay entitled "Jehovah's Witnesses, Blood transfusions, and the tort of misrepresentation". which appeared in the Baylor university's prestigious journal of Church and State.She exposes the vulnerability of the Jehovah's Witnesses religious organization to massive claims for compensation because of the religion's misrepresentation of the medical risks of blood transfusions. Also on the call will be Lawrence Hughes who has filed a lawsuit against the Watchtower org. for the wrongful death of his daughter Bethany. Feel free to e-mail or post on forums reaching Jehovah's Witnesses to let people know how dangerous the organization is. To join us on the call dial (712)432-8710 and when asked for pin number use 9925. There is no charge for the call, only your normal calling rate applies. The lines open at 6:30 p.m.EST and the program begins at 7 p.m. So, come in early and chat with others who have been "touched by the tentacles of the Watchtower".

i wince when i hear how many of you ex-jw's have finally woke up after serving the watchtower society for 10, 20, 30, even 40 years!.
i realize that was because before the internet, there wasn't much information available to research the j.w.
"religion", so it was easier for the j.w.
I would be interested in knowing that too, hubert......since my son has been duped into this cult.
I would LOVE to hear the "life expectancy" of a JW convert is now only a couple years!!

in the feb 2009 km there is a 10 minute part entitled "answering questions about blood transfusions".
notice the part i've highlighted in red.
exacty what transfusions do jws allow their children to have?
It's obvious the WTS cares more about the SYMBOL of life (Blood)......than they care about the ACTUAL LIFE.
can you tell me (a non jw) which nights of the week are the meeting nights?
is it tuesdays and thursdays?
i need to know so i can call my son when his jw wife is at a meeting.
Okay; thanks very much!!

it's been a long while since i've visited jwd.
is simon still running it, or did he end up "passing the baton" to someone else?.
anyway, my real question is for those of you who are still on the "inside":.
It's been a long while since I've visited JWD. It looks so different! Is Simon still running it, or did he end up "passing the baton" to someone else?
Anyway, my real question is for those of you who are still on the "inside":
Have you heard anything about the WTS starting to discourage JWs from having home computers? I know having easy access to damaging information online regarding the WTS is causing many JWs to leave the organization, so I was wondering if the Grand Poobahs in Brooklyn are trying to put a clamp on it?
Thanks for any info you can provide.....

this morning while moving some papers off my desk a paper fell to the floor and i immediately recognised it as being the leaflet that the obama campaign workers had left with me when they had called on my door.
both of the gentlemen had been very nice and we had what i would consider a nice conversation.. .
getting back to the leaflet, it was titled voting questions & answers and as it lay on the floor of my office at home my eyes caught site of this question.
You're not the only one. Heh heh
my lurking jw friend sent me a copy of this new dec.15th rubbish on " holding fast to your integrity " - and i don't know if it's the fact i've been out of the witnesses 5 years or not - but the ludricousness of this information seems to be increasing to me.
once again the watchtower society makes big issues of miniscule , small time actions raising the fire alarm , but gloss over more serious sins like murder , for instance .
for example , check this tidbit out from paragraph 10 - " we know that god's word forbids fornication.
If there is a God - He probably looks at this organization and wonders why he just doesn't send a bolt of lightning down and put the Watchtower Society out of it's misery right now.
I wish He would put the Watchtower Society out of OUR misery! Our loved ones have been held in bondage to this insideous cult long enough! Lord, please set the captives FREE.
