  by Room 215 in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  over on the silentlambs facebook site is a copy of a document that purports to be an order by the service depart to destroy files relating to child molestation cases: https://www.facebook.com/silentlambs/photos/a.571978169529812.1073741826.144752662252367/970409503020008/?type=3&theater.

  have any of you seen this?

  is this a real document or bogus?.

  Destroying evidence is disturbing and alarming. To be instructed to ''obey'' the Borg over the ''laws of the land'' is just something amazing!!! Unbelievable.

  Covering up litigation. I know if I was personally an Elder, I would be resigning over a disturbed ''conscience''' and possible fear of the police and secular authorities. That is should the secular authorities become ''educated'' somehow of instructions to destroy evidence.

  Understandably, Hedge funds can be a HUGE risk. Sometimes they do pay massive dividends, but the ''captain obvious'' risk is , What if they don't??

  Nobody really seen the downturn in the economy in the second half of 2008. But the disturbing question is this;

  ''Why would the Borg be willing to take such a risk as this when they are a not for profit organization which doesn't pay taxes??''

  Mindboggling!!

  I Agree With the Circuit Overseer!!

  by The Searcher in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  when i was just studying, the c.o.

  was brought to my home for a "visit".. the only thing i can remember from his conversation is this - (and the principle is so true, i'm going to use it).

  "searcher, if you're talking to someone about the bible and they don't accept three scriptures as proof about the subject, then don't waste your time trying to give them thirty scriptures, because they clearly don't want to hear the truth.".

  If Elders are destroying pertinent information, you wonder how their conscience feels. They do go to weekend courses which instructs them to be ''less soft-hearted'', per se.

  I'm thinking that is where they are instructed to ''obey instructions'' from the Borg over those of the ''laws of the Land'', so to speak. That is what disturbs, bothers me!! Where the vast rank and file likely have no clue that the Elders are ''instructed to obey'' any laws over and above anything, anyone else.

  Building layoffs & JW calendar 2016 theme

  by Gorbatchov in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the theme of the jw calendar 2016 is building, building, building.

  all the calendar pictures are about building wts property with cheap labor witnesses.. and then, just before the year approaches the building has halted.. it seems a short term decision.

  a strange correlation again.. gorby.

  Gas prices today & the book study

  by LevelThePlayingField in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  we all remember, one of the main reasons for removing the bookstudy was the high gas prices, well, have you looked at the gas prices today?

  nationwide, the lowest is about $1.65, the highest is about $2.67.

  isn't that right about the same gas prices as when they cancelled the bookstudy in the first place?

  Home Book Studies cancelled due to gas prices??

  I call Bull $hit. Many, many people have to travel twice or three times as far to the KH for the Book Study compared to someone's house for the Book Study.

  Mummy's (Mommy's) Boys - Old school Elders are mummy's boys.

  by freddo in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  in the congregations i have been in there are many long time dyed in the wool elders who were the sons of women of a certain age.

  let me explain - must you?

  yes.. mom "finds the truth" (often because a loved one died in the war, or died when she was young and she bought into the nice ladies calling to offer the resurrection hope) sometime between ww2 and vietnam.

  I know of a few former Elders and CO's. They are still very, very much still ''in'' the Borg, ''in'' with the so-called ''in'' crowd. But interestingly enough they have kind of hinted in a way of the off the chart stress they had when it comes to CA's. Interesting that they would mention that the toll it took on their blood pressure and general health due to it all. They didn't really come out and say it but they feel a lot less stressed out now when they don't have to deal with parts in CA's or Elders preparing for the CO's visit.

  That's because the more Watchtowered a person is, the more closed-minded a person becomes. Impairs one's ability to think clearly for him/herself, over-righteous , dogmatic.

  1914—The Turning Point in History - Really?

  1914the turning point in history.

  30 from the human standpoint, the world troubles and global wars foretold in the bible were far from the thinking of the pre-1914 world.

  I agree that the 1939-1945 period of time and the beginning of the Cold War Era had a much deeper impact on Human History. Yes, arguably and very agreeably the Nuclear Age began. The 1914 time period pales in comparison to the conclusion of the ww2!!
