can anyone document allegations made on this video.

since jws are not allowed to give medical advice, the accusations made regarding arsenic treatment are not credible.

it is interesting that the pedophile scandal among jws is broadening.

for example, you will notice recent postings that show the crisis has popped into the limelight in finland and brazil.

it first hit the internet and papers in the u.s., then canada, europe and australia, but not is showing up in south america.

http://www.thestar.com/article/419393artificial blood found to raise risk of death april 29, 2008 noor javed.

staff reporter.

blood substitutes significantly increase the chances of heart attacks and death in patients, yet canadian and u.s. regulators gave the green light to testing on humans, says a paper published yesterday.. a review of all published literature on human blood-substitute trials in the journal of the american medical association found that people who received hemoglobin-based blood substitutes during a trial had a 30 per cent greater chance of death, and were three times more likely to suffer a heart attack.. "i became extremely concerned by the consistent pattern of increased risk that patients were being placed in," said dr. charles natanson of the national institutes of health, who led the review.

it's truly exciting to see all of the "rapid fire" changes taking place in the watchtower org.

buildings are being sold, kingdomhalls are "compressing", bethelites are being sent home, watchtower format changing to public issues and private issues, more and more judicial committee meetings being held for apostasy.

(the watchtower is dead it just hasn't fallen over yet!

The hidden Watchtower writers.

the watchtower smoke and mirrors dept.

are very fond of saying that appostates who post on the internet are like satan in eden hiding their identity just like the devil who used the serpent.. this begs the question why do the awake and watchtower writers need to hide behind the printing presses of the evil tower, what are they ashamed of or more to the point what is the govening body frightened of ?.

maybe the book club and rip off society are guilty of identity theft in not declaring the names of their writers..

if i were still in, i would find it hard to be excited about going to the book study now that i know it is doomed.

the revelation book has already been hashed to death.

the silly five finger death grip illustration doesn't apply any more.
