have said the Watchtower, not his organisation?
You cannot separate the two. The organization is a publishing company and one of the things it publishes is the watchtower.
please note.... i have said the watchtower, not his organisation?.
do you think there'll be massive exodus from the organisation in years to come?.
i applaud bill bowen for bringing the pedophile issue to the meanstream...but somehow i still think he's pushing the issue.

"the israelites celebrated after thier deliverance from egypt.
how will you celebrate our deliverance from this wicked world?.
The Bible does not give anyone the assurrace they will be saved no matter what they do. Remember the scripture in Zephaniah says "...PROBABLY you will be concealed in the day of Jehovah's anger"... A case of counting your chickens befor they've hatched!

A compelling letter that lets us into the heart and mind of a molester, as well as describing the extreme dysfunction of a family.

this media video just released by the watchtower to counter what they are doing in disfellowshipping all the whistleblowers is disgusting.
smarmy robert pevy of the writing staff is a total pinhead, and rodney stark is such a joke he makes disfellowshipping out to me a laughing matter!.

That's the most disgusting piece of watchtower propaganda that I have ever seen.
There was no mention that people can be disfellowshipped for not accepting all of their looney doctrines!

My witnesses have asked that I act as an agent on their behalf, therefore I request a check in the amount of $2, 945.25 to be sent to silentlambs to assist with travel expenses for my witnesses to return for the new hearing to bear testimony in my behalf. Bill, I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for that check to arrive!

i know a witness who works as a massage therapist.. all her customers are jw's.. you might say she's a rub-adub dub.
That's funny, Thinker. Why did you title this "Do Not Read"?
pedophile paradise.... too bad bill could not substanciate this accusation.... yes we do have pedophile in our ranks.... but bill 23,000 where the hell did you get that figure....(i want proof damnit).
yes we do have problems within the organisation.... yes, some elders have been on a power trip for a long time.... yes, there have been many doctrinal changes..... why would witnesses on certain countries allowed to vote why people in the us cannot even harbor.
the thought of voting.... i hope bill bowen does not get disfellowship...cause if he is he will no longer able to drum up supports among true diehard, dedicated witnesses to the cause.. most people up in here are deleberately bashing the organisation.... why?
MAYBE I AM STILL IN LALA LAND FOR BELEIVING THAT I AM THE ONLY ONE PLAYING FAIR GAMES UP IN HERE.
Yes, Boston, I am afraid that the statement you made above is true. That's okay, though, we all make mistakes.
By the way, would you please not type in all capitals. It makes it seem as if you are screaming and it is very disconcerting.
Thank you.
"ten simple rules for dating my daughter".
some thoughtful information for those who are daughters, were daughters, have daughters, intend to have daughters, or intend to date a daughter.. rule one: if you pull into my driveway and honk you'd better be delivering a package, because you're sure not picking anything up.. rule two: you do not touch my daughter in front of me.
you may glance at her, so long as you do not peer at anything below her neck.
The funny thing about the rules that we as parents make is that one day we find out that our kids had a completely different set of them!
have you ever been somewhere in public and without any warning what so ever your underwear decides to place you in a german suplex?
i was a victim this afternoon at lunch, i was in the middle of the cafeteria and i got so tangled up that even certain hairs were intertwined.
i felt like screaming, somehow i managed to ease my way to the washroom and straighten out matters.. i'm throwing out all my briefs when i get home.
Oh boy, LyingEyes, I'm with you on that one. There is nothing, I repeat nothing, like a big soft pair of granny panties for sleeping in and then, of course, the obligatory tee shirt. To be honest, I even sometimes wear them to work on dress down Fridays and just pray that I don't have an accident and have to be taken to the hospital. I would die with embarrassment!

pope shenouda warns copts that marriage with jehovah's witnesses is ground for excommunication, divorce fri jul 19, 9:17 am et http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/ap/20020719/ap_wo_en_po/egypt_copts_1
cairo, egypt - the head of the coptic orthodox church criticized the jehovah's witness faith and said a copt's conversion to the sect was a ground for divorce, egypt's middle east news agency reported on friday.
pope shenouda iii said conversion to the jehovah's witness faith was a ground for divorce within his church.
It's still interesting that of all the other religions in the world, only conversion to Jehovah's Witnesses can get you a divorce.
