  The Ravings of Trolls Distracts FOCUS From Real Watchtower Scandals

  by cofty in

  1. watchtower

  my thread was inspired by gentledawn's insightful comment about the effect the events in wales had on her jw husband.... hope any lurkers out there can filter out the signal (storys and experiences like this) to noise (the current trolls running amok on the forums) ratios.

  this the problem with those who focus on outrageous fantasies about the watchtower.

  it distracts from the real issues that need to be highlighted.. what happened in wales was for real.

  Focus, without calling you a moron, not every mention of "truth" refers to the Watch Tower organization. IF anyone is conditioned by that term here, it seems to be you.

  "Ambassadors substitution for christ" is a Biblical phrase. It's found at 2 Corinthians 5:20. On that basis, I'm not sure what your point is.

  I agree, Crofty. There is endless nonsense, and the truth is the loser because of it.

  That's me. I was baptized in 1948. First met the Witnesses in 1944. It is now 2014. I'm still waiting. Not much longer I fear, unless i reach the proverbial 120.

  Yes. I suggested to the mother of a young ministry school student that a Nehru jacket was not appropriate attire. She took her kid out of the school. I confess it didn’t' bother me a bit.

  My wife who is still active donates about 20 to 50 dollars a week. It comes from her own income. I donate nothing.

  rachael de vienne is one of the authors of a separate identity, an exhaustive history of the watch tower's early years.

  this is from her personal blog:.

  DT, last I heard they were discussing formats. You might contact one of the authors through their history blog and ask. I think they're working through a contract with an Italian publisher for translation and publication right now. But I dont' know for certain.
