  its clearly not working in the way you or how they think Google searches work, at the very top of the results page are three twitter posts one from Covert Fade who posts here and is on YT, search nine is an archived BBC page no longer available but the BBC ran their reports this week about the latest child abuse issues, search number ten is from an Evangelical website explaining the very basics of what they believe,also in there The Guardian is advertising the film Apostasy, the R&F would be forbidden to even think about watching that

  isnt the search results related to your own browsing and search history? when I type in the name the third result from Google is the wiki page on them which they wont be happy with, didn't one of the brain dead speakers from some assembly or other speak about god blessing their online profile suggesting that if they typed in their name in a certain way opposes web pages wouldn't be displayed? it doesn't work like that!

  i was in my old stomping ground a couple of months ago and happened to be walking past the home of an old family friend.

  word is in the hall that i used to go to is that "i am one of them" meaning apostate.

  no one from my old hall has contacted me to find out what happened.

  I see Geoff Woodfield is on that list, was an elder in my old cong, a very decent man and close friend of the family, I wonder if he is still officially a CO?

  hi all,i have been studying with the witnesses for more than 6 months and regularly attend both midweek & weekend meetings, and i am nearly at the end of the "bible teach" book.

  Rulehayl;

  I was summoned to a judicial committee for the crime of vocalising my disagreements with what was at the time jw current doctrine, I didn't have a desire to want to lead an immoral lifestyle, start a new group or any other such reasons I just had a crisis of conscience moment, yet was summoned to two weekends of intense questioning about why I was making these statements, I was found guilty of this so called crime but I was repentant in regards to the fact I may had offended jeehovah by questioning the faithful slave and had stumbled others weak in their faith LOL ( I was reinstated on appeal but that is another story because of the dishonesty of the witness statements taken by two fellow elders during the witch hunt ) all because I couldn't support the "generation that saw 1914 as being the time that would see the creators promises of a new earth by the end of the 20th century"(this was in 1992, what year is it now?)amongst others were perhaps we were not living in the time of the end, 1935 was not a valid date of the sealing of the heavenly class etc etc , yet I was found guilty of apostasy yet now the WTS have dropped these kinds of doctrines as being "old light" so I ask you who really is the apostate? Duet 18,20-22.

  Rulehayl, if we had a pound for every time we heard that line trotted out " because they had an answers or won all the arguments" that sadly is a terrible reason for investing you time/money/energy and life into a dangerous high control group, but followers of these kinds of groups do have the answers it seems because the people joining them are not asking the right questions and are completely ignorant about their past and current doctrines and history which is so vital, you need to investigate them further and you will rightly find they dont have the answers thats why you have been pointed to jwfacts.com which is an excellent resource in counteracting their claims but we clearly know the people studying those books with you would have warned you to steer well clear of anything that isnt endorsed by them, dont you see a warning sign? finally its really sad you decided to be excluded from your works Xmas celebrations and your brothers birthday, they force martyrdom,isolation and love bomb all the while you are doing it but in the coming years when you maybe decide it isnt for you look at the response you'll get from them, you will be cut off, you wont even exist in their eyes, you only get one brother and you only get one time a year to enjoy some letting down your hair with your co-workers, this lot have been destroying these kind of events for over a 100 years and look where its got them.
