Good stuff, I've grown to hate and loath Rutherford and Knorr. Rutherfords' big mouth is what tipped me off to their ass hole ways. I'm a convert and even when I first came in I found that the GB or WT direction had some issues. I decided to look the other way back then as I thought I was doing all these works for God and Christ. No so. Thanks Keith you the man.

Making Every Thought Captive To Christ(Washing the Brain Of Good Reasoning)
by Brokeback Watchtower innot a very good idea to say the least.
when i read paul's words the more i see how delusional the guy was.
he was a genuine religious fanatic who contradicts jesus words on the sermon on the mount.. 2 corinthians 10:5 5we demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of god, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to christ.. delusional and in need of some serious psychological help.

Known as anti-missionaries. It's quite alright I have no problem with any of it whatsoever. I even have a friend from my old congo. that became one, so nothing new here I've heard and read some anti Paul material to each his own. Once he found out that he could argue till he's blue and not get anywhere with me mutual respect came back. Very well read, intelligent articulate guy too. What he or others chose to believe is fine by me so long as boundaries are maintained. We are still FB friends and he was instrumental in helping me out of the cult, I owe him. Best wishes to all no matter what your beliefs. Live and let live.

Chapter 18 New Boy 50 years a Watchtower Slave
by new boy inchapter 18. my privilege of service.
it was moved there in the spring of 1969 from the basement of the 124. why is it that people like to put laundries in basements?
the 119 was the newest of all the society’s properties.

Keith did anyone ever think of sabotage as revenge for the way they were being treated ? I recall reading about an incident once where someone dropped some fluorescent lights tubes onto a working press by mistake, that and tripping the power supply circuit breaker / cutoff downstairs in the electrical room by mistake, hehe !!

Great stuff as usual Keith. Are you going to have someone proof read and possibly edit ? Just saying would make your life easier and help you out a little. Looking forward to reading more and purchasing your complete book one day. Maybe drop Alexandra James a line she could steer you in the right direction if not help. I know she worked on Bo Juel's book and it turned out great.

Watchtower's unscriptual boasting about works
by Diogenesister innothing big here, just a little musing on this scripture at ephesians 2.8-9 that definately states that only faith saves, not works, in case men start to boast about their amazing works.
"8for by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of god, 9not of works, that no one would boast.
well my word, i would definately say witnesses *do nothing but boast*, especially now on jw broadcast.

"What group of people are preaching that message in “all the nations”? The answer is obvious—only Jehovah’s Witnesses". Watchtower May 16 2016
I looked into this awhile back and the United Bible Society are doing way more preaching in more languages :
From Wikipedia, they surpass WTBTS by far :
See also: International Bible Society, Wycliffe Bible Translators, and Institute for Bible Translation
The Bible is the most translated book in the world. The United Bible Societies announced that as of 31 December 2007 the complete Bible was available in 438 languages, 123 of which included the deuterocanonical material as well as the Tanakh and New Testament. Either the Tanakh or the New Testament was available in an additional 1,168 languages. In 1999, Wycliffe Bible Translators announced Vision 2025—a project that intends to commence Bible translation in every remaining language community by 2025. They currently estimate that around 209 million people, representing 2.95% of the world's population, speak those 1,967 languages where translation work still needs to begin. In November 2012, Wycliffe stated that parts of the Bible are available in 2,798 languages out of the 6,877 known languages, and that there are currently 518 languages with a complete Bible translation. At least 5 billion people (71% of the world's population) have access to a full Bible translation in their native language. Wycliffe added that a further 595 million (8.5% of the world's population), representing 1,275 languages, have at least the New Testament in their first language. An additional 1,005 languages (almost 20% of the world's population) were reported to have at least one book of the Bible available. By September 2012, personnel from participating Bible translation organizations were involved in 2,075 language programs.

Anyone reading these stores for the first time look up Keith's 'New Boy' series on here, will give you some background where he's coming from. Keith's New Boy episodes are one of the reasons I was able to DA with clear conscience and finally wake up and see things as they really are. Prayed to God to show me the truth, printed everything up, took an empty 5 gal pail outside and sat down outside my shop in the sun one Saturday morning and read it all though within a few hours. Felt immediate release from WT induced FOG and started planning the rest of my life.
