  hi, everyone ---.

  claire asked me to let the board know that ian is back in the hospital and expected to be there for about a week.. those of you who have been following the weekly vigil thread know that his cmv has returned.

  the virus is not responding adequately to the tablets, so ian needs to be medicated intravenously.. please keep ian and claire in your prayers.. marjorie.

  After I had grown a full blown beard when I was on vacation and came back to the congregation, a pioneer sister said to me that all male who stopped to shave had become apostate and that I should respect the conscience of the congregation. Well, count me in to the apostates.

  don't know if it has been reported, i tried searching but couldn't find anything.

  this is very interesting.

  jehovah's witnesses leadership accountable for pedophile elder david porterall speculation but still worth a look.

  Hi and welcome!

  Each time we're together, I'm struck by how critical they are of the organization, its elder bodies, and of the general tactics of the rank and file members who are busy plucking the specks from the eyes of others while ignoring their own rafters.

  I noticed this, too, as long I was somehow considered 'in'. But when I was 'out' they started to play theater to me, too. They are critical as long they do not really consider you an enemy. If do, they start showing you 'the best people on earth'.

  Who'll be left to carry on the hard line, convoluted behavior-Nazi regime?

  The WTS has already started to breed their new hard-liners in the school for unmarries servants (have forgotten the name).

  In 10 years, there will still be people who want a strict religion and that do not know or care about the past.

  I have a gut feeling that there is something behind that. It took a long time until they released the theme. They have recently changed the "annointed" tenet. It might be that they change it now to everybody being sprititual annointed.

  Most Comprehensive Work on JW in Nazi-Germany now in English

  by GermanXJW in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the thesis of german historian detlef garbe on jw in the third reich now becomes also available in english.

  to me this is still the best in-depth analysis of the jw history in nazi-germany.

  despite the watchtower's attempt to exploit him he remained neutral and also made some critical notes at stand firm-exhibitions.

  Garbe worked out the first edition (which I own) without any support of the WTS because they rejected any research which he lamented about.

  When WT-policy changed in the 1990 they gave Garbe access to their history archives which also reflects in later editions (it is published fourth printing now, with the third and fourth being identical). He mentions almost everything including the letter to Hitler but he does not only quote the yearbook but also refers to the actual letter and states that the "Declaration of Facts" was done by Rutherford in English and the letter was obviously done by Balzereit (because the Original was German and a translation was sent to the US).

  Translation of Garbe's book was done by a woman by the name Dagmar G. Grimm, a German who lives in the US now. From the description I tend to assume she is a JW. The book is published by the University of Wisconsin and supported by the Holocaust Memorial Museum.
