I hope everything goes well for you AnnoyMous. As you can see, they are a cult and not Christ like at all.

"Oranges and Sunshine" Reminds me or Barbara Anderson

i have just wacth the new movie "oranges and sunshine" the story of so many children from england being shipped to australia and put into orphanages and suffered terrible child abuse at the hands of many priests, "fathers".

it was very powerful and sad, margaret humphries, the founder of the childs migrant trust started the ball rolling in the mid 1980's and she helps children (now adults) to try and contact their family and find out who they really are.

she had death threats by so called christians in the catholic church and the government, both australian and english have only apoligised only in the last couple of years.. it sort of reminded me of how barbara andeson and bill bowen went out on a limb to help abused children in the "organization" and how they have been punished for all the good work they have done.

It sort of reminded me of how Barbara Andeson and Bill Bowen went out on a limb to help abused children in the "organization" and how they have been punished for all the good work they have done. I just want to say that their work is not done in vain and I'm sure that evryone has a special place in their hearts for all the work that has been done.

Thnak you Bill Bowen and Barbara and everyone that helps and supports you.

Star Chamber Tactics by the Governing Body (related to Merriman/May)

the following is an excerpt from edmund gruss' "the four presidents," a book that consists of interviews with former high-level officials in the brooklyn headquarters of the watch tower society in brooklyn, who spent years working with the members of the governing body and presidents of the watch tower society.their true identities will be kept hidden likely until they pass on due to family connections still within the wt, but peter gregerson, barbara anderson, ed gruss, and dozens of others including myself personally know these interviewees and can attest to the truthfulness of what they say, based on total harmony with our own experiences which often overlapped.. .

what is a "star chamber?

"wikipedia defines it thusly:.

trying to reach teenage daughter

by Aussie Oz in

friends

had some interesting chats with my daughter today about whether she believes everything she hears at the meetings and reads in the watchtower.. turns out she does.. until i pressed on a few subjects... turns out she does not think worldly people are bad, that the wt is wrong for blanket statements about how evil they all are, that she does not think it is right that they have failed predicting the end for over a hundred years and disagrees when they keep pushing the end,.

and i find this all rather alarming!.

because although some lights are firing (and i mean that in a nice way!).

I wish you all the best aussie and keep us updated and tell me anything that works, I need to know a sbothe my older children are in the cult, but I think I can slowly say things to help them think for themselves. Please keep us updated!!!!!!!

Informally witnessing to a witness !

by man in black in

this was pretty neat !.

an elderly lady who lives behind us lost her husband to cancer two years ago.

she has been doing alright, her two grown sons have been helping her out a lot.

Witnesses don't do good deeds for anyone, unless its advertised. I remember this dear old sister in my old cong.(she was a C.O's wife, real motherly type) and she needed some painting done. A pioneer from the cong, charged her a fortune to paint her garage and when I and my friend found out we painted her house for her for nothing, we just did it because we would expect our mothers to be treated the same. The spiritual ones are only kind when others know about it. (Sorry they are not all the same).
