  secretary-general's statement at unveiling of bronzeelephant in garden of un headquarters -- thanks expressed to kenya, namibia and nepal for gift that will be 'daily reminder that we are all in debt to mother earth' .

  ( my commentary: mother earth...pantheistic religion in place).

  WTBTS refuses to return 100,000 pound donation from DF man

  watchtower society declines to return disputed 100,000 legacyby emilie filou, third sector, 13 february 2008 .

  the charitable arm of the jehovah's witnesses should return a 100,000 legacy from a man it expelled for trying to convert call girls, one of the man's relatives has said.. martin davis said the watchtower society should return the money left to it by his cousin donald kennett so it could go to kennett's nephew, who is autistic.. accepting money from a member who had been expelled would damage the charity's reputation, said davis, of dulwich, south london.. kennett was befriended by a jehovah's witness in the 80s when recovering from a serious car crash and joined shortly afterwards, davis told third sector.

  he was 'disfellowshipped' from his group in stockport in 2001 after members discovered that he was contacting call girls.. when kennett's mother died in 1994, she had left half her estate to him and half to his autistic nephew.

  Denied re-instatement

  i am curious: how many of you also experienced this, as i did?

  prior to my own experience i had never known of anyone who had "served their time," attended meetings regularly, and in everyway demonstrated a good heart, being turned away.

  but then, i guess i wouldn't have, would i?.

  GODS OF THE WATCHTOWER

  by tula in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  (my commentary: compare this illustration taken from an internet site to the red headed "great harlot" on page 239 of your revelation book.).

  she was worshiped as queen of heaven and patron of marriage and women.

  she also held the title eileithyia, the goddess of birth.

  i'm not a big fan of huge ^c^v (cut and paste) posts but here goes..... i found this when i googled 'jehovahs witness landmark forum' - thats another post why i was doing that... http://www.ex-cult.org/general/identifying-a-cult takes about 3 minutes to read.... my question is 'could a jw read this and not even think 'is that us?''.

  identifying a cult

  there has been much confusion about cults and how to 'pickem'.

  at our hall, so many entire families were jw's.

  an elder told me that all the other members of his family were of another religion.. this made me wonder if some families could be genetically prone to be religious?.

  Will Jehovah re-instate Death by Stoning in the New System?

  by PopeOfEruke in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  do you think that stoning as a form of death sentence will be re-instated in the new system once the "new scrolls" are opened?.

  jehovah loved it once, why would he not bring it back?

  it's such a humane christian form of killing someone, i am sure it'll be back!.
