just a question really and whilst i would not put it past them i sort of feel it is too 'conspiracy theory' for me.
are elders and bethelites officially sanctioned to lurk (or engage) in this or other sites to try to weedle out apostates?
does anyone have any direct experience of it happening?.
The only people immune to the truth are those who have no regard for it.
That's right Essan, the ones they appoint the dirty task are those in the legal Dept. probably WT lawyers.
Those who follow in the steps of Covington and Rutherford.
To people like that the "Truth" is whatever is said by those who win the argument.
i typed in 'watchtower ngo' into google search the other day and was shocked to see that the top result was for a pro-wtbts site called 'jehovahsjudgement'.
i'm very disappointed by this because it means that one of the first sites jw's searching for the truth about the society's involvement with the un are going to come across is this deceitful apologetics page which tries to make it seem like the society affiliating with the un is no big deal and perfectly acceptable!.
this pro-wtbts site is successfully debunked by a response site - http://jehovahsjudgmentexposed.blogspot.com/ - which takes apart their excuses and manipulative deceptions fairly expertly, but still, this site doesn't appear when you do a google search and i had to look really hard to find it.
Here's an interesting conversation about Al Taylor and 3rd Witness:

The jehovahsjudgment_co_uk website smells like something Momma WT Society made to look like someone not connected with the official website may have put together. Something smells fishy and awful close to the Brooklyn bridge.
1. Active witnesses aren't supposed to get involved in making webpages devoted to apologetics. They are to point people to the Watchtower_org website.
2. The way the Chapters synopsis appears on the first page is very reminiscent of the treatment of articles in the official website, i.e. a professionally made graphic with a little text and bolded title.
3. In the Spanish XJW forum there was talk awhile back that the Watchtower Society had invited some brothers with Web development skills to write pages, one brother was from Mexico if I recall.
4. The arguments made in the jj-co-uk website are quite similar to the official responses given to people who received letters back from Momma WT HQ about the NGO "affair".
If the WT wanted they would contact the person and discuss why he's not following the official recommendation about personal witnessing pages. The persons name is given in the WHOIS lookup...
Here's the WHOIS info for the domain (but note you don't have to be in the UK to host a webpage in the UK, so Al Taylor could be anywhere, even at Brooklyn, Patterson or Wallkill for all we know):

Quite a funky music beat behind the reading of Scripture. Click on
the sample mp3 links to hear some of it. Do you think the WTS knows
about this product, and the maker of such recordings using the name
Jehovah's Witness Music?

this video was sent to me earlier today, and it really hit a nerve with me,,,,, i just couldn't stop applying it to the witness belief of df and da.. i've known quite a few witness parents over the years who just left their kids "on the roadside" because they no longer.
wanted to be a part of this religion.. why is it that genuine human reaction/emotion is dropped when children no longer want to be a jw ?.
this father seems to be quite a guy, notice how he yells at the security/medical person near the end no doubt to leave his son alone !.
i'm just beating the bush for snakes... (sabre rattling).
when reformers grow tired of shaking away their tree of snakes, scum and rotten fruit, they'll be surprised to see that beaconed and sheltered jws & ex-jw numbers have grown more than the number of wt loyal members; just because they kept ignoring their members' real welfare.

I see your point, M.i.t.Middle, the comparison is very true, there are a lot of cases of abuse and misogynistic behavior in high control religious cults, the Mormons and the WTS religion have a lot of parallels despite diverging religious doctrines. It's not what they teach so much as what they practice personally and organizationally that equates their religions of hate more than love.
righteously "poisoning the well" of watchtower (wt) - nowadays this is a metaphorical expression.
don't take it literally; no violence, no persecution, no stigmatizing.. most are not aware but they have been using this in one form or another.
but using this on wt is difficult because wt is so strong, organized and effective that metaphorically only "spattered poison" reaches the well which by now starts to taste bitter.. for it to be righteous, it has to be truthful, no matter how scandalous.
my father was a cop for 30+yrs.
he was a tuff and ruff cop.
his sence of humor was awsome.
I'm very sorry Darth. Be there for your Dad. We may all sooner or later find ourselves in that same situation, and no matter how tough we may be, Alzheimer's may be the toughest thing to deal with in our lives. It takes away one's personality and dignity. Be there for your Dad and remember who he was when he was free of this awful thing he's going through now. Deep down there are memories and these are precious, Alzheimers steals these vital memories of one's personality. It's just an awful thing to go through, my thoughts and feelings go out to you and your family. Just be there for your Dad, and those who love you and love him too, no matter what.
