The wbts always encourages their slaves to preach where there are people.Students have their own school territory.Working people have business territory.Then you have bus stops,parking lots,etc.Well now they have the pedophile territory.

can prisoners be reformed?.
all too often, prison is simply a training ground for more serious crimes.
but read how some inmates have been helped to make genuine changes.. .

it seems to me that the borg has no right to criticize apparent wrongs in the world because their members are not allowed to take part in politics.for instance how can they call something in the worldly system wrong if they do not vote against it or do something constructive to change the status quo.. it's no use them complaining about something they disagree with and at the same time opt out of the system .in other words, it's nothing to with them so tell them to clear off and mind their own business and leave the worlds wrongs to people who are trying to do something constructive about it.. words in the waktower will not cure anything, positive action gets things done .. for heavens sake how much more ink are they going to waste and how many more trees are they going to destroy before they realise actions speak louder than words?.

Every post here is right on.You preacher of righteous are good.We need more people like you to spread the truth.I suppose there are a few thousands who are in for family.The cult gods are powerful.

first off, (these are in no particular order) i would like to make a point about the ransom.
jesus made a prayer to jehovah saying "take this cup away from me.
" the witnesses interpret this as jesus not wanting to blaspheme jehovah's name.
What I find ironic why God changed the language of the people so they would spread thoughout the world per wbts.If that was so then why did he have the Isrealites annihilate all these people of other languages.Remember the promised land,which he gave these people when he scattered them but changed his mind.Yeah,change their language and kill them.

i ran across this article of the official jw website today.i vaguely remember reading it when it was first printed inthe wt.
the nuclear physicist (with a doctorate from a unnamed school)telling his story unabashedly defends the witness world view and stand on scientific fact and recorded history.http://www.watchtower.org/e/20040122a/article_01.htmit was articles like these that successfully kept my doubtssubmerged for many years.
here are some of the more interesting quotes:when my wife informed me of this arrangement, i immediately opposed her.
Just another dumb sheep that will go whereever the shepherd tells it even to be killed.

paragraph 7. the things that a sincere christian needs to avoid are not limited to what the bible specifically prohibits.
as an example, consider this forthright statement: let marriage be honorable among all, and the marriage bed be without defilement, for god will judge fornicators and adulterers".
(hebrews 13:4) even non-christians and ones who know nothing of the bible would rightly conclude that this verse rules out commiting adultery.
SINcere christian and non-sincere christians know God's law on sex.Many,many many so called non-christain per wbts definition as well as many many many true christains that don't fit wbts definition of a christian don't believe or practice oral sex.So the problem of practicing oral sex must be prevant in the wbts.

just to summarize:.
wt format change saves one wt mag per month.
no anouncment of the dc theme.
No I don't think they are in financial diffiCULTy.The CULT leaders will demand more from their slaves.Slaves are willing people who will simpify,sell their property and give everything to their CULT (gb gods).Then their are rich people who get sucked in to this cult without realizing who this evil god is.They suck blood from the local congregation by passing resolutions for money.Donate from C.A..D.C. etc.My understanding, one of the hugh apartment BLDGS in DUMBO was coverted to luxiury apartments for the public to purchase for mega dollars.Insider trading for wbts.

PS:The WBTS is selling a number of their properties privately, why?Why not let the market decide and get the highest price.
hello dear friends.... well..the saga continues!!
as many of you know last new years the jws attacked our "frosty" and egged our home.
" the co said, "so you are both not willing to meet with the elders..?".
I enjoyed you post,good for you for standing firm on your principles."Sometimes we just have to wait...don't we." What happenrd to call back right away when someone has a question?Oh, wait for new light from the old fading GB.1914 gone.1925 gone,1935 gone 1975 gone,1995 gone.2000 gone,2007 new light soon to be gone.
Doesn't happen in Jehovah's Organization..Satan liers they have done a good job of covering it up to their own people.However, more and more people, law suits,internet and news media are waking up to their tricks.

looking back, being a jw meant constantly analyzing and categorizing others.
on field service, persons were either "sheeplike" or "goatlike".
in the congregation it went even further.
They say....like father... like son.Like GB....like R&F slave.Why would a JW be any less judgemental than what the GB feeds them.The world has different help groups like AA.I wonder if there is a help group for recovering X-WBTS members.
