Rutherford Exposed: The Story of Berta and Bonnie (redux)
by Leolaia inin september 2004, farkel posted an article on this forum called "rutherford exposed: the story of berta and bonnie.
" his essay, which subsequently was translated into several languages and which received over 10,000 views after the first month, spawned a thread that ran 28 pages and contained the collaborative research efforts of many in jwd.
this thread was thought by some moderators to be the best in the forum -- not necessarily because of the claims in the original essay but because it inspired a staggering amount of research aimed at assessing the credibility of the claims made in the essay, as well as adding to our knowledge of this fascinating yet obscure chapter of watchtower history.

As it gets widely known............ who is going to open their doors to them? Who is going to say they are fine religious people?
More to the point, what would the average publisher, especially a sister, do when confronted with this issue at the door (or at a cart) by an angry householder? It would shut down the preaching work. "Damage beyond repair" indeed. Of course, it would have to get that far first, and it hasn't gotten that far yet.

Memorial Invitation 2018 : Subliminal Message ?
by jwdoctrine inhttp://jwdoctrine.com/memorial-invitation-2018-demonic-subliminal/.
memorial invitation : subliminal message.
at first glance, there doesn't seem to be anything wrong with the invitation but on closer look a disturbing detail becomes apparent.it is in the upper right corner of the illustration of jesus christ celebrating the last supper with his disciples in the upper room...there seem to be trees outside the window but on closer inspection, all thanks to the pdf format of the invitation that allows you a very close look down to the fine detail, these are not trees but letters!!!.

This sort of thing was studied at length by Darek Barefoot who published a book on it after being DFed for bringing it to the attention of the GB.

Caesar is forcing the WTS to do something "open and transparent." That would be something.

Apostate is an easy excuse
by Formerbrother init seems to me that if there is something that any jw doesnt want anybody to look into, then they can just say the one word apostate, and nobody wil look at it.. this is rather convenient.. what if it is the truth, still dont even look at it to find out?.
-
-
careful
Yep, that's the organization's plan. Label it "apostate" and everyone will ignore it. It's up to each individual to decide whether he or she will obey that command or look for truth independently. What will you do?

Padron Case Settled. What happens to the fine?
by Slidin Fast init seems that irwin zalkin has obtained undisclosed settlement in the case.
the $4000 a day fine then seems to be dead.
the downside?
-
-
careful
So may we assume that the undisclosed settlement must have exceeded the by now $1.5 million fine ($4000/day accruing for over a year now). Would it be safe to say that it was probably around $2 million or more, paid over by the org so that Zalkin would back down on his request for the secret documents and the fine would be dissolved?
It looks like this lawyer Zalkin has made a career of suing the org. over sexual abuse cases. All he's got to do now is repeat the process again and again in future cases and he can keep bilking millions from the org. They are really in a spot here.
What will happen when the average R&F Witness discovers that THIS is where the contributions are going?
Thanks for the update, Slidin Fast.

A new introduction written by a Trinitarian from the Watchman Foundation? I wonder what Ray Franz would have made of that.
Spot on. I doubt Ray would have liked that.

It makes you wonder whether the purge of the old ones was for more than just not wanting to pay their medical bills. Maybe they got rid of those in advance who would most have objected to so many of the recent changes?
