Maybe not to the ones that are brain dead in the cult.However,with all the bad news about
the wbts will instill in peoples mind NOT to join this religion.Thus in the western world their #'s will be down.

full disclosure:.
i am an active (2-4 hrs/month) 3rd generation jw hovering under the radar.
been posting here for 10 years.
Also does not the wbts say it is a sin if we don't warn someone of danger.(preaching about the end)
Warn people if you know the road is washed away.
The wbts says they keep the cong clean by warning the members of someone that
is DF from the platform.Not talk to him/her.
WHY WHY NOT warn them of a sicko PEDO.

R a D Says "I am really torn on this"... because of the numerous lawsuits for slander and libel.
Maybe they (society) should look at their policy of disfellowshipping,breaking up families.They deserve to be suited.
Are you more concern about lawsuits and protecting a corrupt organization than protecting little children.(families)
of course watchtower lawyer says it's not over yet, we are going to appeal.
thats what they are suppose to say.
but wat is going to want to put this nightmare behind them as fast as they can.
Maybe I am wrong but the wbts admits it done wrong but they are appealling the amount they have to pay.
how can we imitate the loyalty.
in our loyalty to our marriage.
your marriage mate.
Thanks Blondie!
Q11 talk about worshipping men.Pts in WT from FDS hard to understand.Yeah.because they are not in the bible.Like FDS understanding of the length of a generation.Like the FDS saying the generation that saw 1914 will not pass away(die).
Q17 Do you think he came back after 10 years to worship the FDS or he was pulling the wool over their eyes so he could talk to family.
some of their comments.. leaders of professed christian religions charge a fee for religious services.these may include baptisms,weddings or funerals.. but does the bible support such customs of charging for religious services or even of making people feel obligated to pay.yet,at the same time,they professed divine backing.. in the time of micah,priests "instructed just for a price"jehovah was not a supporter,he detested their conduct.. today many religious leaders resort to the same greedy tactics.. however,jehovah's witnesses obtain needed funds through voluntary donations.they do not charge for their literature or religious.
services.they don't tithe or pass a collection plate.. tell me how this relates to their charging for c.a.
or sad now d.c..
I apologize for my english grammar deficienices.
The point I was trying to make is the hypocrisy of the wbts found in the awake June 2010 p.22/23.
mp: don/t get me started on the bible.When I read it,it gives diarrhrea and brain farts.
sir82:Let me explain.Assembly Halls are built for worship/bible ed/fs.They are paid for clear title in a few years.
Plenty of money in the maintenance fund via resolution.X dollars/month/publisher.
IS NOT A C.A. PART OF OUR WORSHIP.Why is a financial statement given at ea C.A. for heavy duty expense for
the C.A.?When all expenses are covered as per above.Is that not the same as charging for a religious servive.
Someone can explain how they raise the RFP(CAPITAL) via pledges/wills/estates.
The free literture,not until after 1990 in the USA when they lost a court case with(.......).They were charging for it in other places after that date.

don't count on too much mercy my fine featherd friends,,,hehehe,,,lol...!after your reinstated,it will take 20 to 30 years before the dubs start to forget your sorted past.....and you all know this right?so why bother crawling back with you little tail between your legs,so a bunch of glorious elders can save face before the rank and file?no one should be df okay,as this was not the teachings of jesus,only paul who wrote this stuff,but could some wacko in the last 2000 years have inserted this satanic practice into the scriptures to control the masses and manipulate them?the apostle paul wrote too many contradictions in his writings,so why trust in anything that he wrote about?why trust the gb in hq/nyc as to their writings in these past 130 years,since everything that they wrote about is all lies,,,hehehe lol...!who is going to disfellowship them in the hq department for being liars?maybe jehovah will do it in his own due time?.
Not sure if this will fit here or maybe I should start a new topic.
It is all to do with honour.However I'll put it this way.....Honour-killing phenomenon (patriachal custom).
Its,despicable,heinous.A twisted concept of honour.No place in civilized society.However,they claim it is req'd to purify
the name of the family.Protect family reputation.It's a horrific tradition of cleansing families tainted honour..
Concept of family honour justifies the act in their eyes.
Females in the family suppport the attacks.Its a community mentality.
Now use your imagination an substitue applicable terms and see if the outcome is not horrific victimization.
it's very interesting that 1st corinthians 15:53 has been cited in the watchtower study articles last week and this week.
that scripture, speaking about humans, translates the greek word 'athanasia' to mean 'immortality'.
can that be correct?
Matt.22:30 At the resurrection people will neither marry,they will be like angels in heaven who don't have children.
this isnt news worthy of course, but i thought i would point it out anyway... apologies to blondie, i dont see the normal wt thread yet.... .
para 2 states that "the other sheep should never forget their salvation depends on their active support of christs anointed "brothers" [gb] still on earth".
para 13 says "he [peter] pointed out that their hope is not founded on their works, but on [the deserts gods] undeserved kindness".
Q2 unbelievable with their brazen conduct.My salvation does not depend on some ASS holes in N.Y. city.
I can not imagine, anyone would have the balls to write such shit.They should be ashamed of themselves.
R.C. leaders=dipsticks
GB/WTS=dipsticks.
