MY BROTHER-IN-LAW HAS DIED

by Mary in

friends

this is one post i had always hoped i would never have to do, but after a long and brave battle, my beloved brother in law has died.

i have done a couple of threads on this in the past, so many of you know the battles he was facing.

he had been diagnosed earlier this year with myelodysplastic syndrome and the mortality rate of this disease is quite high.

Very sad news Mary - thinking of you and yours. Much love, Midwich

Watchtower magazines in Hitler's airplane!--by request!

by Atlantis in

where can i find that document?

also, i have a medical question on bone-marrow i would need assistance with answering.

thanks, fourwheelerguy.

Did they ever receive any 'compensation' from the Swiss Bank Settlement Fund..? (or have I missed the outcome..). I can't believe any organisation would stoop so low to get a share of money intended for victims' families. How many human lives (strangers) did they claim for?

Generation Change

by greenie in

hi all,.

i've heard several reference to the "generation change.

" some of you have said they've revised this several times, including in 1995. onthewayout, i've heard you mention it a couple of times.. can anyone explain to me what this is, or where to find more information on it?.

It's very odd that God instructed the WT (falsely) about 1914, and instructed others differently.

Watchtower Quotes on Mind-control

by OnTheWayOut in

many are not sure or deny that wts is a dangerous mind-control cult.

here is some food for thought on the "dangerous mind-control" part of that.

Wow, the year is 2008, and still no Armageddon!

every time we enter a new year, i think about how i wasn't supposed to make it this long.

i really believed we wouldn't live past the year 2000, and armageddon would change everything.

it almost strikes me as living on borrowed time, but then i remember that armageddon is a story, not a reality.

Hello again WTL

In October 2001, Stephen Bates (Religious correspondent?) wrote an article in the Guardian, here...

http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/2001/oct/08/religion.world

A day or so after, the WT withdrew association with the UN (as an NGO). The WT then LIED about why it associated in the first place, and several letters from WT HQ contradict each other (as far as I recall).

I particularly like this bit...

''By accepting association with DPI, the organization agreed to meet criteria for association, including support and respect of the principles of the Charter of the United Nations''

It has been mentioned before that the WT printed positive comments about the UN during its years of association (which only ended when it was exposed in a British newspaper - the WT immediately withdrew its association)
