Does anyone know what ever happened to Elmore Smith (Lakers-Bucs-Cavs)? He converted before Meyers.

JHK, thanks for the link to the real letter. A quick read reveals numerous changes in policy, spurred on by Satan's world!

JWs do Volunteer To Help Worldly Organizations Distribute Food to the Needy

by Athanasius in

some months back i posted a topic asking if jws were now encouraged to volunteer their time for charitable organizations, as one of the volunteers who i work with was promoting jw.org to one of the spanish speaking workers.

because of that, i guessed that he was a jw.. https://www.jehovahs-witness.com/topic/5708790489939968/jws-now-encouraged-volunteer.

well the other day as he and i were folding and stacking tables after distributing food to the needy, i mentioned that after i retired i got bored and decided to do volunteer work.

When I said that I was, he told me that the JWs have a new movie about Hezekiah and how God's angel slew 185,000 Assyrian soldiers in one night.

In the days when I was in, one would have taken your response as a cue to open up the Bible and read the passage. Now it's just a return to the Rutherford phonographs, only modernized. Sad, really.

Please do keep us informed of how this progresses. You may well have an in, especially if he and his wife are indeed sacked Bethelites.

Child sexual abuses accusations in Spain

spanish branch starts to be nervous since a few days.

clear and detailed child abuse accusations has been posted on spanish forum:.

If the United Nations organised an investigation of the Watchtower's policies, it would be great. The Witnesses would be running around in circles screaming, "Persecution! Persecution!"

Saename, it would be more than that. Remember how, according to them, the wild beast (= the UN) will turn on all religions, including them. To them, it would be fulfillment of biblical prophecy!

Congregation witch hunt?

by dothemath in

heard about a congregation recently that had a local needs talk regarding going to the elders if any wrongdoing had happened, or if you knew of someone involved.. mostly they were concerned with over-indulging in alcohol, but the elder emphasized "the need to get help from elders, or your spirituality would be harmed".

(words to that effect).

so now there's brothers and sisters running to see these guys, and likely over stuff that happened maybe years ago.. funny thing is the brother telling me about it said there's been several meetings now where people's names are read from the platform, and it looks like it'll be going on for a while.. i think if your conscience was bothering you, you would be better off being catholic, at least your only confessing to one person instead of being shamed in front of eveyone..

careful

I can't help but wonder if some of the elders have now been having some regrets over the original talk, since they've created so much work for themselves!

How Watchtower History should be written.

by Old Goat in

if you've read my previous posts and comments, you know i'm a fan of schulz and de vienne's history books and their blog:.

http://truthhistory.blogspot.com/.

dr. de vienne posted a rough draft of some of their current research, destined for volume 2 of separate identity.

careful

No offense, but very few people today interested in the WTS would want to spend time on such a detailed study of its earliest history. Are there plans by these folks to move to a more current period, say the Knorr or post-Knorr era onward? That would generate far more interest, for there are people still alive who have lived through those times.
