  What is Your Favorite WT Lie?

  by Sea Breeze in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i would like to start a thread on lies that the watchtower and their reps have told.

  surely we all have one or two that truly sticks out in our memories, no matter how much we would like to forget.

  my favorite wt lie: the reason they don't want to release the name of the "scholars" who worked on the new world translation is because they do not want to accept "glory and honor" from others.

  Id venture to say to cut that number of true believers by 1/2 maybe even 1/3 of that.

  Whenever you hear of a hint to their tax exemptions,,, they 'wiggle' a bit .

  Not because they want to appear nicer & kinder.

  No. There's an ulterior motive. Their tax free status & subsidies

  Maybe we'll see a gentler,,kinder & nicer religion some day.

  Glad to see countries like Norway stepping up. And doing something about American based religions relying on tax free status & government subsidies & treating people like kaka.

  seems like i just pop in here every now and then to see what everyone is up to.

  just like the previous years, i check in during the holidays to let everyone know about the annual christmas card exchange.. blondie used to lead this several years ago and i was involved for about 3 to 4 years before it began to fall off.

  for those of you who participated back then, i still have your addresses and have just sent off this year's christmas cards to everyone.
