Out of the Mouth of Babes...

by RichieRich in

so this week on the service meeting there was a part in the km about divine education.

true to form, it was another anti-college, pro-pioneering propaganda piece put out by our buddies in brooklyn.. in the third paragraph, it babbled forth about how colleges and universities don't teach people to overcome racism, tribalism, and something else.

(someone please post scan on dec. 2005 km front page).

Sadly, in my area the JW's that have resorted to stealing, drugs and other crimes were the uneducated ones.

THE NEWS IS BIGGER THAN DATELINE, BBC, CBC, ETC.

by AndersonsInfo in

if i told you that something bigger is on the horizon than dateline, bbc, cbc, sunday (australia), and all other tv programs which exposed the sexual child abuse cover-up by watchtower in 2002-2003, would you believe me?

have i ever misled you?

i'll answer that--no!

What's more important saving someone's life or taking down the Watchtower? I'm sorry to say it's not likely your JW family members will leave the Society over this nor will it cause WT to topple. But it could save their life if our voices and actions force the Society to change their policy. It's our responsibility to get this information out to organizations, individuals, and media. Not to cause mass exodus, not to destroy WT, but to save hundreds of lives around the world including your friends and relatives who are still in and may be faced with this life-saving issue.

Everyday the Watchtower continues to have a ban on blood transfusions, Jehovah's Witnesses around the world are at risk of dying. The Society will not change this policy unless they are forced to. Until this news broke, we had NOTHING that could force this change. However big or small you may think this news is, it's at least SOMETHING we can try to use.

Maybe it will work, maybe it won't. But isn't it worth a try?

i'd just like to say that i believe barbara's a wonderful addition to this site and i appreciate all her contributions in her pursuit to expose the watchtower's deceit.

I agree with all of your comments. Any information that chips away the WT empire is BIG news to me.

WT Spies...

by jeanniebeanz in

do you think that any of us could spot a 'plant' if they were really good at their job?

what do you think their job would be, misinformation, discouragement, gather personal information, instigate fights between members?.

do you think they would even care enough about little 'ol us to bother?.

DevonMcBride

You don't have to become a member to read the posts here. I think the WT spies just lurk around and report back. They may join but not post just so they have access to the Private board.

What's buzzing in the Brooklyn beehive?

by Virgogirl in

ok, so we have the big news here on our groups, but what's the buzz in witchtower headquarters?

are they alarmed?

worried?

DevonMcBride

I would love to be a fly on the wall overthere.

They are so arrogant at Witchtower that I wouldn't be surprised if it doesn't hit them until lawsuits are filed.

JW actors and pictures

by Woodsman in

ever wonder what it must be like for the jws to dress up like witches and stand around a pentagram for a magazine picture.

how about all the crosses and pagan symbols in the magazines.

they print and distribute these images to millions.

All right cut the crap.... why are we fighting over the Big News?

by Check_Your_Premises in

if the big news is legit, someone will file suit and win.. if it is the big snooze one of the above will not happen.

nothing we do or say here will bear on the outcome of the above.

if you think it is the big news, by all means promote it as such.

Well said, CYP

Newspaper Article Really Upset My Old Congregation

by Seeker4 in

jw
friends

when my former congregation did a quickbuild in october, i worked with a reporter at a sister paper, a hard news daily, on an article that dealt with jws - including a fair amount of not-so-flattering background - pedophile issues, the effect of the net on the witnesses, etc.

i thought the reporter was really even-handed.. i posted about it here on jwd under this topic: newspaper article on jws today - write the paper - please!!.

while i had hoped for a little harder edge to the piece, i talked with my ex-wife a few minutes ago, and found out that she and the congregation were really upset about the article.
