Stupid or Smart move by Watchtower?
by Beans indo you think it was stupid or smart for the watchtower to call brother bowen and the others in before this scandal goes very public.
this theocratic warfare i believe was a stupid move if you look at the situation from a jw perspective.. beans.

My vote is that it was a very stupid move for several reasons.
1. By summoning Bill Bowen and company before these tribunals the Watchtower has shown to the public some of its more darker and sinister side, something unknown to the general public at large.
Protecting pedophiles and persecuting those trying to protect children will be seen as a much worse offence then the mildly irritating proselytizing or wacky beliefs they are commonly known for.
2. They have magnified the publicity this case will receive both now and when Dateline airs.
3. They have absolutely guaranteed that this program will air, something that was at one time in question.
4. By prosecuting or more correctly persecuting these child-abuse whistle-blowers, the Watchtower has now in effect raised these whistle-blowers to hero status, and rightfully so.
How wonderful, how brilliant; whoever is advising them on what to do must be one of us! I love it, it just gets better and better!

How can they say that?
by Mulan inregarding this quote from the article bill bowen posted this morning:.
while the four believe the show's impending broadcast has spurred the church's actions, church spokesman j.r. brown said that before tuesday, church headquarters had no idea that these people would be on the show.
i have to ask how j.r. brown, in good conscience, can say that?

With regard to the entire pedophile issue and the heavy-handed persecution of Bill Bowen and company, I wish to state that I am ashamed to have ever been associated with the organization known as the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society. I publicly apologize to anyone I may have steered toward their clutches, God forgive me.

Possesed Smurf doll walks out of Kingdom Hall!!
by JamesG inhey,.
new to this site, yippee!!!!.
has anyone heard the story about the possesed smurf doll that got up and walked out of the kingdom hall?.

That story has been around for years. It changes a bit now and then, different state, different King-dumb-halls etc. Another popular one has the witnesses out in field service that come upon a creepy looking house. They knock on the door, and a strange voice says “come on in”. The brave witnesses go in and there is either a lady or man floating above their bed. The older Witness says the name Jehovah out loud and the woman, or man falls to the bed. Deamons run from the name Jehovah you know. In some stories the younger witness or sometimes its an un-baptized bible study runs off never to return; Oh-dear.
Over the last twenty or so years I have heard about 3 versions of the Demon-Smurf-Doll walking out of the hall and about 4 versions of the floating woman / man. Yep Watchtower urban legends are lots of fun, as long as you remember they are also lots of bull too.

Yep, all governments will be gone, overthrown and dissolved. This prophecy brought to you by the same people that said rockets would never break free from the earths pull of gravity and there are no such things as germs. You just got to love these guys in the writing/false prophecy department.

Will WTBTS cut back donations?
by VioletAnai inif there are people leaving in the multitudes...do the wtbts still need so many funds..... i mean printing would go down...kingdom hall costs etc....do they need as much money?
.
so do you think they will eva make an announcement asking that donations be kept to a minimum....seeing as they have said in the past that jehovah provides them with enough to keep the ministry going and nothing more so it cannot be used and abused in other ways...... or.....

(Mode=sarcastic)
I certainly hope the donations are not headed down, as this could be a bad trend with very serious consequences. If donations go down, then there will inevitably be cutbacks in all the services the Watchtower provides to local communities.
Just think of all of the things the Watchtower does for us.
The JW hospitals, soup kitchens, drug rehabilitation centers would suffer horribly. Not to mention the outreach program for the poor, the orphans and the widows.
No we must make sure this doesn’t happen. Do whatever is within your means to help this wonderful organization; after all you can’t expect evil Christendom to do it all can you?

My advice to you is run Little Lamb run, while you still can!
Study the Bible, no problem; get to know God, no problem, have anything to do with Jehovah’s Witnesses, BIG PROBLEM. IT'S A CULT!! Understand? IT'S A CULT! I wish I had a second chance. I wish I were in your shoes, boy I’d be running!

Take solace in the fact that you are not alone Bill Bowen. Like others before you, many whistle-blowers have become targets of the organizations they try to reform. You are in very good company my friend. The more noble the cause, the more cruel the treatment will be. And what could be a more noble cause then protecting innocent children? Nothing.
I have seen first hand the treatment of such ones, and it is despicable to say the least. The greatest weapon you have is exposing the truth. You are doing quite a good job of this, as indicated by the Watch Tower’s response. YOU ARE WINNING!
Keep up the fine fight for the little innocent ones Bill Bowen, and remember you are not alone, the thoughts, hopes, and prayers of many are with you.

Rabies and WT
by badboy ini understand that the wt once said that the existance of rabies had been disproved?.
on what basis did they say that?
-
-
freeman
Yes they did say there was no such thing as rabies, in fact they stated that germs did not exist at all and that “biting worms” running around on the inside of our bodies caused many of man’s ailments.
They also said such nutty things as, it was impossible for rockets to leave earth’s atmosphere, aluminum cookware causes diseases, madness, and early death; wearing a belt containing a small amount of uranium can improve your health; aspirin contributes to heart disease; the human heart (the organ) actually ‘feels’ emotions and the personality of a person can be transplanted from one person to the other along with the organ and also via a blood transfusion.
MY GOD, they actually put these nutty ideas in print! I could go on and on, but you get the idea. On what basis did they say all this? The same basis they say anything and everything else, their own self-delusions.
