due to the fact there are about 27,000 members of this religion that are known pedophiles, and the information about it is kept in a secret database file, i wonder how many lurking jw's as well as others are aware of the severity of this problem?
remember, it's 27,000 pedophiles that they know about.
what about the thousands that don't get caught?
So I am not innocent because I am a witness?
Witnesses are all pedophiles?
Is this what you are all saying because it sure sounds like it and are showing your true colours more than I am mine!
What have I said that is so terrible?
I think pedophila is one of the most evil crimes on the planet but I will not shoot the innocent instead of the guilty.

I care a lot about victims but I am not the one with an agenda of hate towards an religion using victims of evil men and their pain to do it!
I know about pedophilia in a real way but the one I knew about wasn't a witness and was just an evil terrible man that never went to prison and died of old age never paying for his crime. And he's not the only one I know about. Pedophilia is a world wide problem and should be dealt with as such. I have looked at the evidences and the stats show witnesses have only an average number of pedophile cases same as many religions. Hense why silent lambs has been getting bad press for making out that some pedophiles were Jws when they were clearly not.
What I find disgusting is using victims pain as a way to direct hate at a religion and causing hate of the type that is very dangerous since it incites hatred on an innocent group rather than the perpetrators themselves.
Lady Lee you can ban me if you want but I think it is deplorable of you to leave Big tex openly abusive language and hatred towards me against forum policy because of your own personal viewpoints.
What garnered me all this hate? all I did was put up a legitimate site that is unhappy with silent lambs manipulating information they get towards a specific agenda against the witnesses and I personally think silent lambs would be more help if they concentrated on the victims of pedophiles and stopped trying to put a witch-hunt on witnesses.

the definition of an apostate is one who has abandoned his religious faith.
i was baptized in 1974. the religion i joined believed that jesus selected the bible students in 1919 to do a separating work.
we had to preach to find the sheep like ones.
statements are not proof....
One Jehovah - unchanged
no immortal soul - unchanged
Jesus is God's actual son - unchanged
no hellfire - unchanged
and many more unchanged. If you look at what does change... it's either understanding of bible prophecy or applied biblical principle to our daily lifes as things come up. The core beliefs have remained the same.

from what i've studied of jw's, john 1:1 is interpreted as "and the logos was (a) god".
therefore, because there is no definite article in john 1:1 for example, one supposedly cannot confirm that jesus is referred to as "the god".
so my question for the jw is "what if jesus were reffered to with a definite article in the nt"?
Who was the God for the early christians?
1 Corinthians 8:6
yet for us there is but one God, the Father,
Here it clearly states for christians they had one God and he was THE FATHER.

silent lambs have got focused on the witnesses which ruins a lot of good they could do for people, here is a site that exposes silent lambs bias clearly.

God allowed trinity for 1700 years.
i was watching this documentary of micro biologist who are sampling all the oceans at many different depths collecting all the microorganisms with different size filter and then processing them to collect just their dna and then sending the purified dna material to their lab where they have a bunch of very sophisticated and state the art equipment to break up the dna and then recombine it into gene sequences and then record it in the their super computer at the tune of reading millions of bits of dna code per minute.. the result of this study according to the team of scientist mind boggling and the information gathered will change our lives in so many ways.
the super computer can reconstruct the dna into genes and chromosomes and millions of new genes have already been discovered.. here is one link i found on the net that might be of interest with a partial quote of some of the beneficial uses:.

the complex encoded efficiency of DNA is seen by many to prove an intelligent designer not an incoherent opposite that relies on time and chance.
Romans 1:25
They exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator—who is forever praised. Amen.

one of the more ridiculous and offensive things the wts has ever taught and that is saying a lot.. i know i saw a link to this article sometime in the last two weeks but i've lost it!
can anyone direct me to this article?.
no by dropping that teaching when the realisation came it was from men and not God. Another religion would have kept it or just slightly adjusted aka mormons but Jws just got rid of it and allowed the adjustment from clearly their own understandings of the bible.
What makes me agree with Jws is the fact they are humble enough to recognise were mistakes have crept in and make the changes even if the shallow judgemental people will view this against them. Jw's accept they are fallible unfortunately the anti-witnesses cannot accept fallibility in their overseers they want what isn't yet available.

i used to smoke cigarettes.
i quit as i was learning the lies of the watchtower organization.. i used to smoke between 1 and 3 packs a day depending on whether i went drinking or not.. .
i didn't really quit for the religion, but as i was learning it.. i swore to quit when cigarettes got to cost me more than a buck a pack.
erm wuzluvsdubs
artually they do they follow the bible line on them..
Proverbs 23:21
for drunkards and gluttons become poor, and drowsiness clothes them in rags.
1 Corinthians 5:11
But now I am writing you that you must not associate with anyone who calls himself a brother but is sexually immoral or greedy, an idolater or a slanderer, a drunkard or a swindler. With such a man do not even eat.
1 Corinthians 6:10
nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God.
the problem is the bible clearly allows us to eat food to survive and allows alcohol in moderation and has been shown to have benefits in moderation so self regulation is needed on these to adhere to the bible principles involved.
Smoking is not a food or drink it offers nothing but damage to our health it is literally just sucking poisons into our body! that results in cancer, heart disease, teeth falling out, sunken hollow features. emphasema, cotdeaths and the list goes on.

All these quotes show is an early need to try and come to terms with getting rid of racism but the message was still that all got equality. It's clear to see the inequality of judging by skin tone was dawning on them in awareness as a group and not from public opinion around them. So actually these old publicationss do serve as a testament to them getting to total equality for all men through their own ways not the world around them.
