"Feeling sorry for yourself" about being hit by your husband is not Christian 2/15/12 WT Page 25 P 12
by yourmomma inhave anyone of you read, the absolutly jaw dropping paragraph in this article about a women who was hit by her husband?
its in page 25 of the 2/15/12 wt study edition (i read the dumbed down version).. .
if there was any question, that the watchtowers stance is for wives to simply take it when their husbands abuse them, this makes it crystal clear.. who the hell is scanning these things before they go to print?

The Control is simply amazing
by outsmartthesystem inat the kind advice of so many of you (and hassan) on this board....i ceased attempting to discuss doctrine/failures with my wife many months ago.
but unfortunately that does not prevent her from grilling me from time to time.
during one of our infamous "discussions" she said she was going to "investigate" this supposed "proof" that is out there regarding 587bc.

How to find an apostate: Look at their pages! They will say they are not apostate, but most support apostate sites.
That's like a homosexual saying he is not homosexual, but he looks homosexual, and supports 'I love gays'!
I love the above quotes from the site, 'he looks homosexual', so there is a standard look????

Most folks on this board will also realize that the JWs made it with #1, the Millerites, since that is really what spawned the JWs, I wish the article would have mentioned that.

COC in public libraries
by diamondiiz ini haven't researched this but do library have copies of this book?
did you ever look for coc or any other book in a local library when you were a believer or when you began to have doubts?
how hard is it to find this book in a public library?.

I was thinking of donating as well, the best thing for exposure would be if a library could host an ebook format, that would prevent the book from mysteriously disappearing!

Give us your vote on the Watch Tower's approach to domestic abuse!!
by cedars inas you may be aware, the feb 15th watchtower features an experience depicting a 'fairytale' scenario of a violent husband beating his wife, and then mending his ways once she starts to apply bible principles.
to my knowledge, this is the nineteenth experience of its kind to be published since 1958, and it betrays a disturbing track record of negligence on the part of the watch tower society in failing to properly and consistently deal with such a sensitive and life-or-death issue, which effects untold thousands of women.. the experience, page 29, paragraph 12, reads as follows:.
selma recalls a lesson she learned from the witness who studied with her.

It's worth remembering that it won't be discussed at Watchtower studies until April
Will need to make sure that coming in to the new year that the momentum keeps moving, especially bringing this back to the forefront in March so folks are primed with good information. I have kept a list of the people and organizations that I sent the information to and plan on sending a modified letter about three weeks prior to the study.....that is when I would love to get the information in the local papers.

Thanks so much cedars for keeping this out front for people to see.
Unfortunately much of what I sent out was anonymously done, but I keep scanning to see if there are any responses, or anyone I else I need to inform.
