I was at a gas station the other day, and while I was pumping the fuel into my SUV, I noticed a man standing at the far end of the gas station. I looked over at him, and he was dressed in khaki pants and a white shirt with a tie. I continued pumping my gas and then all of a sudden, the guy was behind me. He had a "Watchtower" and "Awake" magazine rolled up in his hand like he was about to beat a dog. He asked me in spanish if I spoke spanish. I said no and then he walked off to a car with heavily tinted windows. In that car was more witnesses. By the way... this was at 7:45 in the morning! They "scouted" other people for a few more minutes and then they drove off in brand new cars. I couldn't help but wonder what part time job they had in order to afford a new Toyota Camery and Mazda 5. I remember when I was growing up as a JW that it was preached to me that full time jobs got in the way of doing the ministry! My wife had told me that when she was walking to the supermarket, she was chased by witnesses who wanted to talk to her. What is going on?! Since when did JW's begin to ambush people in trying to talk about their message?

JW's will never turn on the WT Society
by moshe inthat is the conclusion i arrived at after watching the documentary , by alex gibney called, "the human behavior experiments" on the cable tv sundance channel tonight.. ------------------------------------------------------------.
one person is taking a consumer survey in a closed room and sees smoke coming in under the door- they immediately get up , leave and call for help.. the experiment is repeated with three people, two of them are paid to sit and have no response to the smoke coming in under the door.
the third person who is the test subject, fidgets, looks worried, and squirms as the smoke gets thicker.

I also saw that episode where that young lady was stripped down, doing jumping jacks, spreading her legs, and giving that one fat guy a blow job. I was amazed at just how gullible she was and how she never questioned anything that she was doing or was asked to do. Where was she when I was in high school?! I am always amazed at how easily people within the Kingdom Hall or the WTS organization do things without any research or real thought. Everything is a mind dream.

V for Vendetta-similarities in the government and WTBTS?
by gaiagirl injust saw the movie v for vendetta, about a totalitarian government in the near-future england.
somehow it reminded me of the wtbts, in that whenever something happened, they would have the media "spin" it to cast events in the best light for the government, and the worst for whoever else might be involved.
anyone opposed to the government was automatically a criminal, terrorist, etc.

I saw the movie and I thought that it reminded more about the current line of events here in the United States than anything about the WTBS. It was surely one of the best movies that I have seen all year!

This is a very interesting topic. I was just thinking about this the other day. I too was raised in the truth and I never thought that I would be seeing old age. I am 37 and I look like I am 30. I'm not complaining at all! I feel blessed that I have the wisdom that I have and still look the way that I do.

This really is an excellent find. Sad to say, this information will never see the light of day in the congregations. If this was a matter with the Catholic church, then you would see this printed in the next "Watchtower" or "Awake" magazines.

I haven't seen those pictures since I was about 9 or 10 years old! I was hoping that I was one day going to be able to see them again. There are so many things that the WTS does not want to remember and sweep under the rug. A picture is worth a thousand words. In this case... the picture is a very powerful one. Excellent post!!

This story and lovely family are not too far from where I live. It has been played on the news constantly. I agree, it is truly a tragedy and could have been a lot worse. If you would like to see the raw video of this so called grandmother (and I use the term loosely), then you can find it from this link. http://www.wesh.com/video/9314719/index.html Judas sold out Jesus for 30 pieces of silver. This bitch was willing to have her grandkids and daughter-in-law killed for $100.

Da Vinci book 'shows ignorance'
by William Penwell in.
seems like the catholic church does not want you to see the "da vinci code".
i mean if they don't want anyone to see the movie they would be better not to say anything.. http://edition.cnn.com/2006/showbiz/movies/05/15/cardinal.davinci.reut/index.html.

I can't wait to see the movie! If anything gets the Catholic church this pissed off, then I think that there is something there that they are trying to hide. This book has brought attention to the Opus dei, and Priority of Sion. These are two very ultraconservative and very secert parts of the Roman Catholic church. If it were all just some type of fiction, then there wouldn't be such an uproar from everyone who has any power in the church. Looks like someone hit a nerve in the church and I am loving it! I will be seeing this movie on opening day!
