800 Infant Bodies Found in a Septic Tank at Roman Catholic Children's Home

by cofty in

796 infant skeletons have been found discarded in a septic tank at the former mother and baby home run by the catholic church in ireland between 1925 and 1961.. unwed mothers were sent these "magdelene asylums" to be treated like criminals.

their babies - if they survived - were taken from them.

if they did not survive their bodies were thrown into a septic tank and forgotton.

I remember when I was a teenager, there were lots of infant remains found in the plumbing of a local catholic girls school. I lived in a small city and this was big big big news...actually making it to the news I guess was a feat. Never forgot it.

New Tract for August 2014 - Scan

if someone has done this before , i apologise but this was new to me.....struck me as strange that nowadays, the answers to life's problems are found on the internet .

I'm wondering if it will backfire as well. Not in a big boom, but definitely a plop in some thinking JW's. Focus on the the website, it's all "God" not Jehovah...which has been their BIG distinguishing factor (in their eyes) for decades. If it hasn't sunk in yet, this tract is an eye opener.

Although, it seems to be a easier JW time. Fewer meetings, fewer hours, contact with individuals in the field is no longer required...just stand by your trolley, simple literature. More time for social and personal activities and still be in good standing...may keep people drinking the Kool-aid for years.

Dunno. Love to hear honest opinions from a JW of this new era.

Wow!!! No pictures of buildings falling and people screaming and running? No Armageddon? That's a new take.

The preaching/witnessing is taken out of their hands...wow.

Looks like they are play the "now" card for issues...not painting a future panda picture...which I actually got a person baptised based on that one tract.

I think it's a horrible tract. The cell phone is the focus on the cover.

Wonder what current JW's think about this? Wow.

What is the key to free yourself from the Organization?

by suavojr in

they key to free yourself from the organization is having mental clarity of what is happening in relation to the watchtower, inside and out.

their basic concept is that they are god's sole organization on earth.

there really is no basis for anyone to make that statement.

Dagney

It could be one thing or a hundred things, but ultimately it is the decision that you will not give them one more minute of your life. Once you decide that, you are free.

The List, by "Prominent Bethelite"

by morloc in

i occasionally pop through here to catch up on the latest, but this time i'm going to pop my own post on here.. some of you internet oldsters may even remember this.

my first experience on the internet regarding discussions about jehovah's witnesses and the watchtower took place on a now-obscure usenet group, before i eventually stumbled across hourglass2.. during those days, there was a poster who went by the name "prominent bethelite," an otherwise anonymous individual whom i remember most for an extensive, exhaustive compilation of date-oriented remarks, predictions, and expectations by the watchtower organization down through the decades of its history.. it became known as "the list" and it's definitely lengthy... but a fascination look at the abundance of errant statements made through the watchtower's history.. if you're curious, it's been available for a long time on hourglass2's site, and can be seen using the link provided below.. the list, compiled by prominent bethelite (1999).

that's about it for this stop through here.
