  CRISIS OF CONSCIOUS, now in Hellenic language

  by JustHuman14 in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  at last this great book now in greek language...this book was translated from the english edition by a jw who was in prison due to neutrality back in the 80's.

  for many years, many greek jw's and ex jw's had the photocopied translation done in prison by this ex-jw.. this translation was shocking event to the hellenic jw's and many left the org at that time.

  now there is an official copy of this great book by brother franz, god bless him....

  God’s answer is to call your local Police or Sheriff’s Department and child protection agency.

  Amen!

  that's all.

  it just reminded me of the new generation definition the gb invented.

  so i guess me and her are of the same generation.

  Yes indeedy. And your great great great great great great great grandchildren be part of that generation, too, praise Jah!
  
  Hopefully, the Watchtower flim-flam scam won't last that long. ;–)

  P.S.: Asked my mother the other night: What's the definition of a generation? "Well, about 25 years, you know, how long it takes to raise a family. Those children grow up, get married and start families of their own. People are waiting longer to get married now, so maybe a new generation every 30 years or so." It was one of those conversations where her cult programming was turned off.

  ex-JWs for Haiti

  by Moxie in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  a number of us ex-jws have gotten together to rally support for haiti within the ex-jw community.. as witnesses, few of us ever donated humanitarian aid.

  this wasn't because we were uncaring but because of what we were taught.

  now, in the wake of the horrific disaster in haiti, we can stand up and give to the people who need help so desperately.

  Any Ideas on the Next "Big Thing" that Will Bring the Watchtower Down?

  by jamiebowers in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i received this via a face book pm from the group christian witness fellowship:.

  also near the end of the show, richard rawe says "something extra big" is about to happen that will take watchtower "down," something bigger even than their pedophile scandal and the u.n. connections scandal put together.

  he says he can't spill the beans yet, but the something is definitely coming.

  I can't imagine someone who actually knows what it is wouldn't share it.

  Minors going door-to-door

  by doublelife in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i just went to the silentlambs website and there is a link to criminalcheck.com where you can find registered sex offenders by zip code.

  so i typed in the zip code of the territory from my old congregation and i was surprised at how many people popped up.

  there was three pages of names and on almost all of those names i recognized the street address as one that i went door-to-door on.

  This image on the Watchtower's official website front page has irked me for awhile:
  
  

  Your Personal Invitation

  Would you like to have a personal home Bible study and increase your knowledge of the Bible?
  (Only option: Yes!)
  
  It's not just the shabby Photoshop job — head poorly patched over torso of a different perspective, weird hand proffering brochure and none of these elements ever saw the same camera together — but because of the child exploitation angle. They used to switch out to a less-botched little girl there, but I suppose the pedo's they market to prefer boys?

  I admit perhaps I'm overthinking it. In light of recent lawsuits and stories pouring in over the 'Net each day, it seems like a blatant, in-your-face affront to opposers of Watchtower-sanctioned child abuse.

  Christian Arrogance

  by startingover in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  maybe arrogance is not the right word but i can find no other that describes what i see.

  the idea expressed by some christians on this board is that somehow god specifically chose them.

  i'll quote perry as an example as his post inspired this thread.

  What word would better describe the situation when you claim god chose you and not me?

  Narcissism: A psychological condition characterized by self-preoccupation, lack of empathy, and unconscious deficits in self-esteem.
