  do jws frequently report more time devoted to their ministry than actually spent perhaps for image reasons or to keep other people happy?.

  Hackers and Attorneys?

  by The Berean in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i wonder if there are jw internet hackers working underground at the wtbts to intercept, sanitize, or delete any information which might be damaging to the image of the organization.

  also, might i assume that gb attorneys are at the switch ready to threaten any whisleblowers with law-suits in order to discourage sharing of potential negative evidence?.

  has anyone experienced such supression?.

  Is our gripe with God or man?

  by The Berean in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  a friend of mine took a stand the other day that had me thinking.

  his claim was until i cursed the god of my understanding i was still a believer of that diety even though i did not profess such worship.. i told him he was probably correct.

  he got upset and attempted to adjust my thinking.. you see, i personally have no evidence that woe and stress originates with god or church founders for that matter.

  Superhuman?

  by The Berean in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  since there appears to be no eye=witness testimoney of sin or defect within the governing body of the wbts, could we be dealing with superhumans such as the bible's nephalim?

  would this not explain the powerful control this org seems to weild over common folks?.

  anyone care to comment?.

  Scandal Anyone

  by The Berean in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  does anyone else feel, as i, that the new york based bethel family is simply a microcosm of society as a whole and has just a much crime and corruption within as anywhere else on main street?.

  if so, how are they able to suppress evidence and incriminating evidence?

  is there a vow of silence?.

  If I Were Satan ...

  by The Berean in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  if i were satan, would i appear at times square in a black cloak wielding a pitchfiork while demanding worship?

  after 9/11 how well would that work?.

  if i were satan wishing to build an earthly oragnization would i appear in a cold cloud of ectoplasm or burst forth from a young child's chest in alien fashion?
