Penton's Apocalypse Delayed

by Band on the Run in

i just started reading this book based on the recommendations of members.

it is the best book i have read on the witnesses.. i do become confused about the strands of american protestantism that nurtured the witnesses.

when i was young, i felt that russell miraculously came forward with the first correct interpretatin since apostolic times.

Dagney

Band, yes I liked this as well. It is the one book I read cover to cover after I left.

Files Show how LA Church Leaders Shielded . . .

by ABibleStudent in

no it was not the wtbts.

it was the roman catholic archdiocese.

even dissention within a hierarchical organization cannot guarantee that the rights of individuals will be protected.

Dagney

Good idea.

Mahoney is such a tool. The coverup has been in the papers for years here.

How Long has it Been since you Last Attended Meetings and What Caused...

..... you to stop attending ?

injustices ?

disagree with the teachings ?

After a moment of clarity during a Sunday WT study in June-July 2001, I never went back. I attended memorials for the next 5 years just so my mother wouldn't have a heart attack. It was a small price to pay to not have her worry endlessly and needlessly for my everlasting life. I went to one meeting somewhere in those years when my gf's husband gave a talk. The other times I didn't go I heard it hurt him, and I didn't want to do that to him...he has kept me as a friend and his friendship is dear to me. His motive was not about the talk or meeting; he just likes people to be together then go to brunch...lololol. His talk was fine, but that WT study...gave me the heebie jeebies. I forgot how dreadful they were. I was offered a computer print out of the scriptures. I told them that it was quite alright, I prefer to read the verses in context...sigh.

Been back for funerals, including my mom's and my gf's mom. They were both terrible.
