as some of you may have noted james bonnell the local po here made a comment in the local paper.

the following is the exact email quoted below:.
I'm deeply saddened, too.

In 1975 a crack team of publishers was sentenced to death by a judicial commiteee. They promptly escaped from the cult and now live life on the run. If you have a problem ... and if you can find them ... maybe you can contact the A--postate Team"
there's been so much suffering in this organization - that could.
have been prevented by building up individual consciences - instead.
of emphasizing cult-like obedience to watchtower rules.. talk about "the road not taken....!.
All of which is probably the reason the Watchtower puts Jesus Christ as far away from themselves as they possible can and still be called 'Christian' <gag> <choke> <vomit>.
I mean, look at the scriptures they use to support some of their doctines. The rape resistance, the blood, the two witnesses to an 'action' (instead of a 'matter') the we're not false prophets, the end times prophesies, and on and on and on they use Scriptures from the 'Old Testament' to found these doctirnes on, since these things are in conflict with what Jesus said and did.
Well, it isn't working. Run Watchtower Run!!!!!

i'm a newbie around here.
i have only posted once but i've come in here almost every day to read for about the past month.
this place has been therapeutic for me as i'm currently trying to make my exit out of the borg.
That is totally great advice.
Something that others have found works really well is to use 'depression' as a reason for not wanting to 'do' anything. Especially if you're really tired!!! Surely your husband can understand that you don't want to bring others 'down' so they feel as 'bad' as you do. There's been so much negative publicity lately about the JW's and depression, they have a tendency to leave 'depressed' ones alone and not bother them. You can use this in your favor and buy yourself some time.
Your spouse needs to see that as you pull away from the Watchtower, you feel better and are happier and more well-balanced. (hopefully that's what will happen).
It's a sad situation and I'm always sorry to hear someone is in it. Don't do anything you cannot undo is the best advice you will ever get on this board.

russian jws continue to rely on satan's politicians from the council of europe, rather than jehovah, to intercede with their own government.. .
20-23 november [2001].
parliamentary assembly monitoring co-rapporteurs visit russia.
MA, I love the way you use those BOLDFACE lettering...just fabulous.
And you know what gets me?
The Jehovah's Witnesses have admitted publicly that this is all about publishing their literature, building kingdom halls, and corporate bank accounts.
Nothing to do with the practice of their religion, or the bible, or christianity or nothing.
So much for being in subjection to superior authorities, or being peaceable as far as it depends on THEM!!!
HAhahahaha.....

longo's elder and elderette parents are playing the "politically correct" jw organizational role in their public statement re the prosecuter's decision to seek the death penalty.. .
prosecutor to seek death penalty for longo.
newport, oregon (reuters) -- an oregon prosecutor said wednesday she will seek the death penalty if a man charged with killing his wife and three young children is convicted.
Thanks to MA and Nelly, but I meant something more specific. I'm going to be getting off a plane, and stumbling around looking for a courtroom seat to sit in, that kind of thing!!!
If someone could get me the name of a prosecuting attorney, defense attorney, ANYTHING, I can follow it up from there. I know there are people on this board who actually LIVE in that area, but nothing seems to be forthcoming from them.
Maybe I'll take a day off from all this stuff and try a few things.
Butthanks for answering, you guys...luv ya!!!

i have recently had the misofortune of being involved in the revealing of a child molestation case.
my wife's niece recently came forward about being molested approximately 5 years ago by someone holding responsibilities in her congregation.
my in-laws found out the same day as we did.
>if you have something negative to say about the WTBS then it's immediately accepted by all as Gospel handed down from on high to the accompaniment of an angelic corus<
I won't call you an outright liar, since you seem only to be expressing an opinion BUT:
1) what amccullough originally posted to this thread is NOT favorable to the Watchtower, but would be a backup to what silentlambs has been saying IF IT WERE VERIFIABLE. That's his/her choice.
2) When the silentlambs case became know, silentlambs produced a ton of evidence to back up his claims, and continues to do so until this day. Nothing is taken on faith, and besides we have good old J R Brown do most of the dirty work for us anyway, meaning the watchtower admitted to the allegations.
3) When the Watchtower UN case broke, hawkaw, Zev, and everybody else involved obtained a ton of supporting evidence for this case, and still continue to do so today day, plus the Watchtower itself has admitted to the allegations.
4) the rape resistance scandal, the bethel World trade center scandal, the 26 dead children on the face of an awake scandal; the Malawi and Mexico scandals....the Watchtower does the supporting evidence itself. There is no reason not to believe and jump on the bandwagon.
And again, what you and amccullough have posted to (if you're saying you saw what amccullough saw) is only a backup of what silentlambs has been saying.
For which I thank you both.

you know the verse that prophecies that the city of tyre will become a 'drying yard for dragnets' and '"never will you be rebuilt" for i myself jehovah have spoken'(ezekial 26:14)?
so how come tyre still exists today?
some supportive info:
http://www.probe.org/docs/auth-bib.html
In Ezekiel 26, which was written in 587 B.C., Ezekiel prophesies that the mighty city of Tyre would be destroyed. Tyre was made up of two parts, a mainland port city and an island city half a mile off shore. Ezekiel predicted mainland Tyre would be destroyed by Nebuchadnezzar, many nations would fight against her, the debris of the city would be thrown into the ocean, the city would never be found again, and fishermen would come there to lay their nets.
In 573 B.C., Nebuchadnezzar destroyed the mainland city of Tyre. Many of the refugees of the city sailed to the island and the island city of Tyre remained a powerful city. In 333 B.C., however, Alexander the Great laid siege to Tyre. Using the rubble of mainland Tyre, he built a causeway to the island city of Tyre. He then captured and completely destroyed the city.
Today, Tyre is a small fishing town where fishing boats come to rest and fisherman spread their nets. The great ancient city of Tyre to this day lies buried in ruins exactly as prophesied. If we were to calculate the odds of this event happening by chance, the figures would be astronomical. No, it was not by coincidence.(7)

MA, could you do all of us a favor please? Could you find out the latest on the Laree Slack Murder trial? And also the Stovall brothers? I could easily go to the Stovall trial if there is one, but some of us have discussed going to the Laree Slack trial as well. It wouldn't be too hard for me to go the Longo trial either.
Maybe you can start a thread on each family,, so we can update and stay updated. You and Nelly and SF or skally and some others seem to be really good at this, and I can get some of this UN and Russia/Bulgaria/France stuff done before the trials all begin and then I won't get diddlysquat done.
Thanks you guys.
So many trials, so little time...
