  Mum's death: I emailed this to the Sun, BBC & Radio 5 live

  by Mr Ben in

  i emailed this in the hope of helping the presenter or getting published.

  dear editor, .

  the watchtower bible and tract society (wtbts), a multi-million dollar publishing company, has a history of bizarre medical teachings and quack science - the blood teaching being only one.

  Incredible, I've just watched Paul Gillies (actually, a very 'likeable' man) being interviewed on BBC TV, and he said that 'we only Baptise Witnesses as adults'!

  She died to avoid the living death of Disfellowshipping, Shunning or Disassosiation!

  Excellently put Gill!

  nelly136 - I was just thinking the same, if the widower remains a dub, I imagine he'll be remarried within the year.

  Good idea Highlander - sad thing in this case is they're just a pair of kids themselves - brought up as dubs so knew no better when forced into that decision. Dying for a publishing company

  A desperate time for JW as realisation inevitable dawns .....

  by Gill in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  in time, slowly and inevitably, a lot of jws will realise that they have been conned.

  they may deny it at first but eventually a substantial amount will discover that they have lost their lives, their talents and their potential to of all things, a book publishing company!.

  so, what will their reactions be?

  Calico - I remember that story - it was in newspapers about a year or so ago? Wasn't it a sheep though? The police officer said the animal didn't appear 'disressed' or something like that!

  The man's friends thought it highly amusing as he was homosexual and the sheep female, lol, I'm trying to Google it now (how sad am I? lol)

  So what does the av jdub do with all the "old light" books?

  by rose petal in

  hi, posting on another thread, i asked this question.

  i would like to know - what do they do with the 'old light' books?

  does it not occur to them that they have a pile of books that they are not allowed to read?

  So what does the av jdub do with all the "old light" books?...Whatever the Org tells them to.

  Seriously, I think that JWs believe by just owning a pile of WT literature is a safeguard against demons/armaggedon etc.

  how is the WT a "literature selling scam"?

  by inkling in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i have heard several people refer to the society as publishing company in the business.

  of selling books and magazines.. i just don't see how this view can be valid considering that i almost never see.

  any "voluntary contributions" come in from the door-to-door work.

  And even though the trashy-mag publications have decreased, I can't imagine the dub donations will...
