Most-Ignored Scriptures by JWs
by Mad Sweeney in
1. watchtower
2. bible
the watchtower has been known for over 130 years as a great scriptural cherry-picker.

they pick out disparate unrelated verses and combine them to support the wackiest of wacky doctrines.. on the other hand there are many scriptures they almost never address, whether because they contradict wt doctrine or because they simply don't have a clue what they mean or how to spin them to the wt advantage.. one of these is revelation 19:1 that mentions a "great crowd" "in heaven.

" the only time it is ever brought up it is dismissed.

leaving the borg of jehovah presents a somewhat lonely existence for many of us fallen angels.

for a time we may seek to find an entirely new body-associate.

many may find that after so many years in a controlled environment like the watchtower that they have a hard time finding a large group of friends again.

WTS Will Stop Charging Interest on Loans
by doinmypart in
1. jw
2. friends
the org will stop charging interest on kh building fund loans effective sep 1, 2008. current loan payment amounts will remain the same so the loans can be paid off sooner.. congregations should continue to donate to the kh building fund, and publishers can donate directly to the fund by sending donations directly to the branch.

congregations are encouraged to forward surplus congregation and operating funds to the branch until the time those funds are needed by the congregation (this was actually read to the congregation...talk about full disclosure).. this is for all branches and congregations, not just the u.s..

Someone needs to shout the dangers of the Society off the roofs!
by escaped in

the world doesnt know how dangerous or divisive the cult is.

i woud liken it to "jim jones", but the death of the members is emotional and longer as they lose their identities, families and potential futures.

they rip your life from you to further their agendas and the hell know what those agendas really could be.
