It is ok coming here and slanging of the WTS and JW's...we have all had somekind of negative experience being a JW.....But sometimes it feels more like witch hunt on this site rather than an actual honest discussion about the WTS. Has soon has some one says to you...something that defends the WTS...you all go up in arms about it....There was an apology made by the BBC....but you cannot accept that. If you don't believe...you can alwyas write to the BBC nad ask for a copy of the apology...which you can do...because when the make an apology they always leave information and contact details so you can ask for a copy of the apology made.

Remember the Panorama programme on JWs a few years ago? Question
by evergreen inyes, many will remember the panorama programme shown on channel 4 (uk) a few years ago.
the one that highlighted the child abuse scandal and the disgusting manner in which the borg deals with it.
then when the letter was read out to the congregations a week or so later addressing this issue by dismissing the programme by simply saying that two witnesses were needed before a person could make an accusation.

Yes...and the BBC had to make a formal apology for it. It was proven that a lot of lies were spoken in the documentary and those that took part...including the woman that produced the programe were very anti-JW.

Mmmmmm!...I could look at clouds and see images, it is no different to them...if this is the best they can come up with against the WTS, then why bother. Most of the quotes...if not all...are made up. I went to art college, I have drawn and painted many things in my life, I bet I can go back, place a mirror in the middle of my art and then see a demonic creature...etc.

Independent Film on Jehovah's Witnesses
by brighter-truth inmany of you allready know me as i actually post under another name on this forum.
with that said i feel that for the sake of my current project i must remain as anonymous as possible.
i am interested in creating an unbiased documentary film about jehovah's witnesses.

I feel if you want to create an unbiased documentary film about Jehovah's Witnesses, this maybe the wrong place to come...Most, if not all, are biased againts JW's for some reason or another. It could be a personal thing or maybe they could not accept certain believes. So if you were to produce a film based on what people say on this site...then it is going to be very one sided.
Sorry if that offends anyone here.

Who, of other religions, do the JW's think will and won't resurrect?
by JH in.
what's the watchtower's position on resurrection for people out of their religion?.
where do they draw the line, and say who surely won't be resurrected?.
-

Adam and Eve will not be resurrected because they were made perfect and with out sin. Those that Jehovah has already judged..such has the people of Sodom and Gomorrah and those killed during the flood will not be resurrected...that is my understanding of it anyway. Everyone else, regardless of religion or the things they did or have done in their lives will / might be resurrected...it is even possible that people like Hitler will be resurrected!!!!!!!!!!!!

When I say attacked, I meant we were beaten up...Thankfully I am not a small chap so I managed to defend myself....but the guy I was with was in his 60's and he was hurt quite bad. Thankfully an Australian guy who works in Lahore (I was in Lahore Pakistan at the time) also managed to help us...eventually we all got away and ran for our lives....and I mean our lives. If they had not killed us we could have been taken to an Islamic court and sentence to death if they claimed we had blasphemed against Allah...and they only need three witnesses for such a trail..and well, there was a big gang of them.
It's funny the come to the UK and have freedom of religion and demand all the rights, they feel they should have, yet in their country, if you are not muslim you are not treated well. Some Christians lie about their religion so they can get a job or even and ID card. When I was in Saudi Arabia, I really wanted to visit Mecca...But I was not allowed. There is a road sign that clearly states...Mecca (Muslims only)

I just want to say one thing...The light skinned poeples of North Pakistan actually have their roots in Greece. When the invading armies of the Macedonian king, Alexander the Great, arrived in what is now modern day Pakistan, the men had relations with the local woman who thus gave birth to light skinned children. Some of the people in North Pakistan even have ginger hair colour.
When I was a JW I helped out in Pakistan for a little while (which is how I met my wife) and because the situation between Muslims and Christians is far from ideal, we used to do the field work with in the Christian Communities / areas. I have been on the preaching work talking to Muslims...and thankfully must of them were friendly enough, but went to one house in one of the richer areas and a mullar answered the door, and before we knew it (there was two of us) we were being attacked.
But there is good and bad in all religions. I know a Christian who will agrue with me about how plants have feelings and can hear. He agrues they are alive, so they must be able to do such things. And no matter how hard I try to explain that they have no central nervous system and no brain...they can not hear anything. He will not accept that. He told me all science is bad and evil so I said to him..."look round..can you see the TV?...can you see the ceiling lights?....did you not just not take ice cream out of the freezer?...If it was not for science, you would not have those things. And what about life saving medicine....we have that to because of science. When you go home you drive in a car...when you go on holiday you fly in a plane...all things we have because of science" Of course he had no answer of that...so he went back to telling me how flowers can feel and hear.....Strange person.
