ok i have about 4 friends who don't know that i am out of the org.
because there is 3000 miles between us and the subject has not come up.. well one of them has emailed me a jpg copy of each page of the public edition of the wt.. i was feeling a little ornery, and i replied back.
i said wow having a private copy and then a public copy of the wt makes me feel like a secret agent.
Beware of the traps of the birdcatcher.They will use the public edition of the WT to trap or ensnare the people with this devised cunning method.Before the individuals are aware they are trapped.Like an animal once it's in a trap, to get out it has to chew it's leg off.Same with people they suffer the same fate.

The 1988 edition of the Revelation.Its Grand Climax At Hand.Page 185 para 28,"In Europe some ten thousand Witnesses were incarcerated in Nazi concentration camps, and thousands died" The 2005 printing of the same book"In Europe some 12,000 Witnesses were incarcerated in Nazi concentration camps and prisons,and about 2,000 died.They WBTS is wishy-washy with their numbers.Was it 10,000 or 12,000,was it 1.000 or 2,000.You can't go by their numbers,because they can change their history without a blink of an eye.

my sister (a well-meaning, sweet drone) sent me this email and although i don't get a chance to post often, i thought that this was just too ridiculous to keep to myself.
i don't have the heart to tell her that there are other people on the planet that have things they'd rather the medical community didn't do to save their lives.
scary people we used to hang around with.
Yeah,Jehovah's organization loving provides AMD to protect their ASS.What a farce blood fractions. They are a product of BLOOD.Ralph get your head out of the sand or should I say out of the assholes of the so called faithful slave.
Bob
your comments are appreciated too!
thanks for all the support.. .
Good review.Look,GB you better be thankful for those who risked their lives for YOUR FREEDOM during WW two.You didn't do the right thing you cowards.You should examine you conscience before you give any advice.You talk about how environment influances ones life.Get out of your luxury apartments and get a job with minimum education cleaning toilets like you keep telling your slaves.Get out in the real world.You people are really sick you need psychiatric help big time and not feeding this garbage to honest people.

so i'm talking to someone from my old hall and he tells me that there are some disgruntled jws (including elders) who feel like some bad decisions are being made by the rbc.. for instance, one hall needed a new roof.
an elder, in the construction business, made a deal with a local non-jw roofer that if the brothers cleared off the old shingles, the roofer would come in with his crew and do the new roof for x amount of dollars.
the rbc elder in charge got wind of that arrangement and nixed the deal.
I believe those contractors who volunteer their time and equiptment say the cost is X amount and say that is a voluntary donation.Which is an inflated price,they get a tax receipt which helps their bottom line.Who care about all the deceit,lies,crooks God knows.The only sad part, many are fooled by this poor excuse of a religion.
Bob
hey all.
right i honestly don't keep up to date what is happening with the jws' changes of thought.
my aunt - who is now listening to reason & is starting to search outside of jw beliefs, mentioned that they were at their bookstudy and the brother said ""we'll be skipping the next paragraph, as there is a change in thought""".
Revelation Book.The GB did publish a 4 page kmsept 06 revision to the book.Then they did publish a 2005 printing of the Revelation book making it look like the just printed more books.However the new printing has so many changes that they(GB) should be ashamed of themselves for saying it's a printing and not a revision.
Bob
PS:The 2005 printing of the book has 10x the correcting than the Sept.km06
friends,.
i just confirmed the "generation" change from another forum in portuguese.
the following is the text in portuguese:.
Replacements for 144,000 if one sins.I thought once God appoints someone he can't be replaced.Example King David he was a very bad dude yet God didn't replace him because God's (H.S.) could read his heart.So what happened to God's H.S. today did it get corrupt by the gs of the wbts.The apostles were imperfect did God need replacements or he just let them write some scrolls that are meaningless.

What gets me is in 2000wt one of the 6 things that gb said the end was near because the (fds-144k) was getting old and some would be on earth when the end came.They also mentioned we are around the corner,the last hour, etc,etc.So now they pull some hayseed out of their asses to extent the sweet smelling shit.This shit is old and really stints.If I was to tell them so they would get awfull mad.

deliverance from the traps of the birdcatcher.
"[jehovah] himself will deliver you from the trap of the birdcatcher.
the trap of personal differences.
I think the title fits the WBTS(JW) perfectly to a T.They are the ones that trap unexpecting people by their scheming deceitful ways.Shame.shame shame on you GB/FDS.They keep referring back to old WT/RAGS which was new light then old light and who knows what anymore.EX,old/new/old/new GENERATION.Good God these people are sick they need to watch Dr. Phil for the next ten years for therapy.
Bob
hey ya'll.
i know there is a lot of buzz due to the nbc story.
i thought i'd share my experience as an elder dealing with abuse.. i attended 23 different congregations in my life and served as an elder or ms in 9 of them.
slmdf your 97 comments are right on.What gets me about the gb/org.is their out right lies.I see it in their wt/a,d.c,.c.a.,sad.and they pound it in the the heads of the r&f.But,But,how can you escape with the least damage to yourself.your loved one,your children.Because they bought into it line,hook,sinker and cannot see the light of day.They are so brainwashed,mind controlled that a nuclear bomb couldn't dislodge their thinking so saaaaddddd.
Bob
PS :Now that so many elders know how the scum (GB) operates maybe they can back up Bill Bowan and the silence lambs.Also let the media know the truth about the WBTS.Not their lies,half truths.
