  we had a visiting speaker come to our hall yesterday.

  he was a missionary from liberia (whoopie) but he was talking about the danger he faces everyday just to go our in field service from rebels, gangs, the military.

  he lived in a hut with no electricity, no running water.

  i remember there was one that used to go to my hall.

  he would say hi to my dad and my dad would ignore him.

  i know now that my father feels bad for that, but at the same time he had no choice.

  JW Literature-why not public?

  by AllAlongTheWatchtower in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  this might be old hat to those of you with more experience in the wts/witness life, but it struck me as very odd, perhaps even a bit sinister.

  i started coming here so i could find out just what my wife was getting herself into.

  on my first day here, i learned about the blood doctrine, and that was enough to convince me.

  The Watch Tower Corporation(s) is a book publishing, event sponsoring, and real estate developing business. The Jehovah's Witness Kingdom Hall is the local Watch Tower produced book distribution outlet. The Jehovah's Witness people are the unpaid book distributors. The corporation produces literature is now written TO the Witness people, not FOR them. The Witness people now produce the donations to keep the corporations busy printing, building and sponsoring meetings and conventions. The door to door literature distribution is a straw man. It's not the purpose. The purpose is the production and the exchange of the production for cash. The door to door activity clears out the literature store rooms, delivers the occasional new worker, and develops some additional donations for the group leaders.
  
  The value of the literature is not the message they contain, their value is the cash flow the literature generates. Spreading the message is nothing but more religious dogma. The Corporation's purpose is self preservation, profitability, and security and comfort for the corporate directors. Don't believe what they say, look at what they do.

  Thank you Garry Buss a concise objective profile of the WT pedigree,a valuable quote i can use.

  Apostate Story @ New York Times

  2. current

  three times a week in the kingdom hall in miami, my brother and i strove to sit perfectly still in our chairs.

  our mother carried a wooden spoon in her purse and was quick to take us outside for beatings if we fidgeted.

  i sat onstage in the kingdom hall in surrey, england, where my father's job had taken us.

  Rewriting damaged lives with eloquence and truth
  Boston Globe, United States - 2 hours ago
  ... Joy Castro's ''The Truth Book: Escaping a Childhood of Abuse Among Jehovah's Witnesses" (Arcade, $25) doesn't have the evocatively lit design that Skloot's ... ''The Truth Book: Escaping a Childhood of Abuse Among Jehovah's Witnesses" (Arcade, $25) doesn't have the evocatively lit design that Skloot's book does -- in fact its jacket looks hard and uninviting, all red and white with a black banner and capital letters, with a subtitle that sounds like a sociological treatise. But inside is an exquisitely powerful and beautifully written memoir.

  The ''truth book" is a text that contains the principles of the Jehovah's Witness faith. But the real truth here isn't religious tenets, but rather Castro's clear-eyed, unflinching depiction of the harrowing facts of her life. Castro, adopted as a baby by devout Jehovah's Witnesses, is fine until her parents divorce and she's left in the care of her irresponsible, cold mother, who quickly remarries someone described as a monster in religious clothing. Castro's stepfather mercilessly beats and abuses the whole family, she writes, and as Castro blooms into adolescence, she describes his sneaking into her bedroom at night to give her ''massages."

  Castro's mother won't protect her kids. The church refuses to listen. Her stepfather mocks her urge to go to college even as he demands her participation in his sinister new hobby of photographing young girls. Castro's real father begs to take his children back, but her mother and stepfather forbid it, rewarding the kids' yearning to leave with vicious beatings, she writes. But even when Castro and her brother do escape and go to live with her father and his new wife, it's far from perfect. He's self-absorbed and materialistic, and prone to mood swings. His new wife's a reluctant and distant stepmother. And gradually, heart-wrenchingly, Castro begins to learn that if she wants a new life, she's going to have to create it herself.

  Castro, like Skloot, moves effortlessly back and forth through memory, as she tries to ''feel my way into what it all means." Glimpses of her future spark and glint amid the rubble of her past, and she even imagines a richly evocative monologue from her heartbroken birth mother. Castro not only saves herself from her brutal childhood, she saves her brother. And when she has a son, she gives him the childhood she and her brother never had a chance for. Her son is doted on, never struck or scolded. ''Sweetheart, this is what you deserve," she tells him.

  Gorgeous, disturbing, and grippingly alive, Castro's book offers the kind of hope her background never supplied. And it should be noted that part of the profits of the book are going to Childhelp USA, a national organization for the prevention of child abuse.

  The past reverberates against the present. How then do we navigate and move beyond the damage in our lives? The first chapter of Skloot's book says, ''We're here now." And maybe that has to be enough -- that one moment, radiant with hope, where anything might happen to propel us forward.

  Should You Believe In The Trinity? - Maybe

  by dontomas in

  2. beliefs

  hi folks.

  i am new to this board and since i am currently undergoing bible study with a jw elder, thought it would be a good idea to expose myself to other viewpoints on what i am learning from him.. a while ago i read "should you believe in the trininty".

  having had a barely adequate education, i knew a lot of the names of the father's cited therein but had never really read anything they wrote.

  Is't God gonna kill SOMBODY on Armadeddon?

  by crankytoe in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  maybe i'm confused, but most comments on on this subject seem to suggest that people are appalled at the idea that jw's say god will kill alot of people on armageddon.

  especially children.

  i'm wondering why is this so outlandish a concept?
