In my own experience, it seems that, for all of the talk about conforming to a higher set of principles, the Witnesses are still self-centered and, in many cases, mean-spirited. It all just takes a different shape; they appear to be loving and kind because they're always TALKING about it, but they aren't much better than most people who don't try to make these claims.

Note About "Mr X is a Pedophile" Type Posts

by Simon in

if you show up posting that someone is a pedophile but don't include any corroborating evidence to back up your statement (e.g.

a link to a news report or police statement) then expect your post and account to be deleted.. i am not the police.

i am not able to verify information that isn't in the public domain and there are enough malicious idiots about who will use libel to smear and harass people that we'd be crazy to take any statement at face value..

Hear ! Hear!

Sorry your job is so tangled up, Simon. Don't give up the ship.

Who really is the faithful and discreet* slave whom his master appointed over his domestics, to give them their food at the proper time?

by Alex Williams in

this statement was answered in a form of a question to a question posed by one of his followers;.

jesus realized that composite slave had to qualify for such an appointment when he came into power of his kingdom promised by jehovah god.

[and they came to life and ruled as kings with the christ+ for 1,000 years].

Let's not be stubborn about it. There have been way too many off-target teachings that the WT has promulgated to blindly insist that a few things done right would qualify the WT as God's sole channel of truth. This would be like saying that God has made mistakes.

One mistake that God did not make is His giving us the ability to think things out, rather than having us wear blinds and not look to the left or right.

Thanks for sharing. It's good basic info that curious public readers need to know.

There is always some telltale word or phrase in an article like this that tells me that it was a non-believer, or somebody who doesn't quite "get it" who wrote the article. This writer knows the religion and articulates accurately.

I have read that some studies suggest that symptoms of gluten intolerance may, in fact, be caused by glyphosphate, the weed killer that is used way too generously to improve yields.
