The Watchtower Letters, part 9

by NeonMadman in

here's a letter i received from the society after writing to ask about whether it was ok to use an assumed name while i was working.

i do not have a copy of the actual letter i wrote to them, but here's what the situation was:.

i had been hired as an agent by a private employment agency, which meant that i was basically a telephone solicitor, trying to get job orders from businesses, then match those job orders with applicants.

I find this a very hypocritical reply. They say, basically, that you should not use a different name as to conceal your true identity. Yet they do the same! The person writing the letter doesn't even identify himself by his name but shields himself behind anonymity. Only "EG:EI". That's it!

So EG:EI is ok but mr green is not?!

How many of you belong to another religion now, and if so, which?

by berylblue in

i've always wanted so much to know the true god and to do his will, but it seems i struck out at the kh.

my deep spiritual need is not being met, but i don't want to jump from the frying pan into the fire, you know?.

beryl.

Not to sway you in any way, but I recently joined the ministry of KHA. Take a look!

so my mum is about ready to leave the witnesses.

i hesitate a bit to write it down like that, just in case i might be cheering too soon, but i do believe it is the case...

yesterday i took a ride with my mum in her car, and the new yearbook of the jw was on the backseat.

BTW Viv,

Are you doing ciggies again?!

BAD GIRL!

From what I have read so far this seems very hopeful! As soon as she starts talking about 'them' instead of 'us' progress is made: she does not take the same stance.

I am making progress with my mum too. She has now opinions that are 180 degrees different from the society. Still, I need to get her to read the introduction to my research. She wants to but is finding excuses not to...so I think she is afraid I am right after all. My mum has been in the cult since age 7 or something so she has invested decades in a phoney beliefsystem. It is hard to even consider being wrong...Still I have good hope.

Keep us updated on your mum! See sure sounds like a very decent and warm human being, not JW at all.

Babylon the Great is NOT false religion.

by proplog2 in

this is the short argument against the watchtower interpretation of babylon the great.

(btg) .

) the watchtower claims that babylon the great is the world empire of false religion (wefr).

The explanation of the WTBS will no doubt be proven just as wrong as all their other published works on revelation and ezechiel. At best they provide wishfull thinking.

Besides the point: I think that the revelation has no bearing on the current situation but was a description of the situation when written. Romans being the opresser it had to be concealed in cryptic language and symbolic talk and maybe the consumation of a mushroom or two. To use this stuff to predict future events is as useful as using the prophesies of Nostradamus. They are so vague they can mean anything...

Dear person from Wichita Kansas who decided to be a snitch.....

by pr_capone in

friends

once again, whomever you are, you are too chicken shit to talk to me directly.

i am so angered that you once again, although i gave you my # and email address with which to contact me, have decided to take information that i have posted directly to the elders.

again, werent you supposed to come to me???

greven

(((P_R))))

You are going thru what I fear most. What an infantile mindset such a person must have: I'm gonna tell the elders on ya....nahnahnahnah. sheesh. Still stuck in primairy school I guess.

They said that they would encourage that person to come talk to me.

They better 'encourage' that person to get a life!

BTW: Are there no society rules that dictate that the elders shouldn't talk to some accuser that did not take the correct 'first step'? Do not obey their rules, but use them against them whenever you can!

When you do find who did this to you, please take care not to yield to that inner voice that says: I am gonna pop his head like a zit. But make sure he learn his lesson!
