My personal reasearch on this subject was very simular to yours but still i got a few new gems to add to it. I, too was amazed to see how easily and crafted the deceit was created.
They moved from a position where they saw all their predictions concerning 1914 failed, to a position that they saw their expectations fulfilled!!! And eventhough with little reseach one can find these contradictions (for example comparing staements from current WTs to the proclaimers book) hardly any JW knows about this. They are lousy researchers, not following the bereans in the least. The GB knows this and simply buries these admissions in huge texts of self praise. So when you do confront them they can say: "see we admitted it!" without a single JW being stumbled with these facts.
When I printed out my research and asked an elder why those contradictory statements were made I got no answer other then: "only we preach the good news! Only we use the name Jehovah!" etc "so we are the true religion, leave it at that".
Thanx for bringing this to our attention.

*****power of prayer enjoy this and know you are in good hands..... this is quite a story... goose bump type.

diane, a young university student, was home for the summer.

she had gone to visit some friends one evening and time passed quickly as each shared their various experiences of the past year.

This story has many variations: I've heard it a thousand times.
My usual reply is: "So your God saves one woman from rape, but let hundreds of JWs rot in concentrationcamps. I guess their prayers were not sincere enough..."
ps besides, that story also circulates amongst mormons and other religious folk check out there websites!

The Rock has an army already.

infectious diseases are illnesses caused by the attack of tribesmen in nature.

these tribesmen are tiny living creatures, so small they can be seen only with high-powered microscopes.

these tribesmen invade the tissues of our giant bodies, where they grow, multiply, and interfere with the normal functions of the flesh.

Demonized objects

2. beliefs
ok, if you have belief in the teachings of demonized objects than my photo attachments should confirm your beliefs.

if you do not believe than please explain my photos as so many sciences have tried and failed.

this is not a trick and the transformations are real and this carved rock is of unknown form, very high density, harder than jadeite and has been dated to pre 17th century or older.

FHN: All I know is that the "spirit" understood English and did what we asked and it stayed in my bedroom for two or three months.

You mean...you had more than three wishes?! Cool! Did it do your homework or the dishes for you? Did it scare your nasty uncle for you? Did it get along with your other imaginary friends?

Hypocrisy of the First Order by JWs
by AlanF in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
jehovah's witnesses are known for their hypocrisy and double standards when it comes to how they treat others and how they want to be treated by others.

as to why heinze and paul were kicked off.. .

in the best interest of the club to remove paul and heinz from our .

JW's are taught NOT to debate
In addition to that they are also thaught not to reason. The most stunning example of this is the reasoning book. Unlike what the title might imply, it doesn't teach them to reason at all but provides volley of scriptures to be hurled at the householder when a common objection is mentioned. Check for example what is says on "the bible contains inconsistencies and errors" the book recommends the following reply: "nobody ever showed me any". In effect challenging the householder to produce some. Most householders can't because they are ill prepared. The JW leaves with the impression he'd won the argument.

Blood on my hand

i cut my hand.. .

actually, i didn't, a shitload of glasses fell, and one shattered on my hand.

so in essence, it wasn't me who cut my hand, it wasn't my fault.

Hope everything is ok now!
I also have this morbid facination for personal wounds. Once a small pointy branch stuck through my wrist and I was just looking intently at the inner contents of my wrist before it was fixed. Man, I would be playing with my bowels if I could. :oD
What is this about a boyfriend....have a missed something? LOL fess up girl!
