on friday, november 22, 1963, i was in high school in the cafeteria in fort worth, texas sitting at a table filled with school chums.. my jehovah's witness buddy, johnny, was back from shaking john f. kennedy's hand in front of his hotel earlier that morning.. he and his family were (oddly) big fans of jfk.

go figure.... .

not less than ten minutes later the speakers in the cafeteria crackled to life and the principle, g.b.trimble announced that president kennedy.

I was a believing JW on 9/11 but I was deeply troubled by the reaction of my 'brothers and sisters'. We went to the book study on the evening of 9/11 and people were talking about how nice the weather was for September/the price of beans...you get the picture. Anything except the shocking things we had seen on the TV. The ONLY mention made was when the study conductor mentioned 'our brothers in New York' in his prayer. I was quietly disgusted that these people were so wrapped up in day to day stuff that something like 9/11 had barely registered with them.

i decided to contact the uk domestic abuse charity "refuge".

they indicated their concern towards the article and offered to help in any way they could.

Outright Misrepresentations of Quotes and Citations in Watchtower Literature

by Londo111 in

the research of doug mason, annomaly, and others have been eye opening in regards to the society's recent articles on 607 bc.

what i find most disturbing is the misrepresentations of scholars, who are quoted in such a way to say one thing, when they meant something completely different.

it is one thing to teach a doctrine, and quite another to play fast and loose with the truth.
