  @ Robdar, apart from the part about house burning and beatings, everything you said about the Russian Orthodox church could be said about Jehovah's Witnesses;

  - oppressive

  - intolerant

  - hateful

  The Russian Orthodox Church doesn't like competition. I think that is the point.

  Sorry, but I highly doubt the WTS are any sort of competition.

  in a recent thread, i was basically called out in this manner.. here is part of the quote:.

  mean no disrespect with the following but i have to ask, when you disassociated yourself what did you think would happen?

  did you expect witnesses to suddenly change to accommodate you?

  But you can’t change the way the organization treats people who DA.

  Lola, that sort of reasoning is precisely why the Org are able to continue treating DAd folk like myself and my wife the way they do.

  Why do so many exJWs - faded or otherwise (although I suspect it's the faders more than any other group) - need the WTS to be so powerful?

  my wife encountered a jw today at the uptown laundry where she goes to dry blankets and large items from time to time.. i had just asked her an hour earlier to look around and see if any mags were laying around there - i don't know why.

  i just wanted to see if any major layout changes were taking place with the watchliar and asleep lately.. i have not opened them.

  i am looking though at the cover of the tower - cover title 'how can you choose a good religion?

  They are absolutely watering it down these days; think back to the "End of False Religion is Near" tract campaign. Now it's just "find a good religion"?

  hello all, i have been lurking, looking, reading, and digesting for around 2 years and it seems the time is right to post.

  i recently had one of those moments at the kindom hall where i found myself looking around thinking "am i the only one who gets it, why doesn't anyone else have this puzzled look on their face?".

  said during is second talk to the congregation "all of our food, our magazines, and all our wonderful books, and videos come from/through these 9 men".

  While it's sad to read of the woman having a miscarriage, it's stunning to read that the WTS are actually trying to play the human rights card!

  some excerpts:"treated like a nobody".

  "when officially sanctioned (disfellowsipped by wbts) discrimination can lead to such evils as ethnic cleansing(kicked out of the congregation).. "bigotry and intolerance (don't talk or help a disfellowshipped person, fired him from an elders construction company) where there are laws against discrimination".. the right education can (on this forum) expose the root cause of prejdice (disfellowshipping) and help us deal wisely with prejudice when we are victims".. 'prejudice may be sown by those( you can add those here) who deliberately promote warped views of other cultures (religion such as the roman catholic church)".. we should choose our associates wisely(if we associate with workmates or other religions we will be discriminated>disfellowshipped<).. don't get me started on p22 clergy-laity.. by the way i just read "blues brother wt 15/10/09-re d/f'd friends.now i am really pissed-off.. bob.

  So it is down to all of us to expose them as the charlatans they are, at every opportunity.

  What Wobble said.

  Btw, does anyone have a scan?
