  I'm assuming the Brooklyn Tabernacle was a Masonic hall?

  CTR and Co used a lot of Masonic halls for meetings according to the book 'Watchtower and the Freemasons'

  Hi all,

  I am just about finished 'out of the Cocoon' (great book) and am looking for ex JW books to read.

  So far I have read:

  Crisis of conscience (brilliant/amazing)

  In search of Christian freedom (interesting)

  Journey to Gods house (very good)

  Escape from paradise (very candid account)

  Exiting the JW cult (still reading/ good, but deep)

  Captives of a concept (easy to read and factual)

  Watchtower and the Freemasons (good)

  If can give some suggestions and a short review. It would be much appreciated.

  Thanks

  Midweek meeting video

  by aboveusonlysky in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  did anybody see the service meeting video this week?.

  australian sister was sexually abused as a child and thought of ending her life at 14 years old, sometime later jw's call on her father who accepts a study and eventually the whole family becomes witnesses, life gets much better as the sister immerses herself in pioneering etc, she still has some dark days but prayer along with going for walks and swimming has helped her cope with bad memories of child abuse, the new system (just around the corner) will completely fix everything......... i'm dumbfounded, the hypocrisy has literally rendered me speechless......comments anybody?.

  I must admit, I was gob smacked when I saw this video as took me by surprise. Admittedly, I felt sorry for the woman in the video and could see the genuine pain she has suffered from years of abuse. My heart goes out to her as an individual and genuinely hope she can move on with her life, as indeed others who have also suffered abuse.

  But it is the fact that the organisation have in the past gone on camera denying that they don't take adequate action toward child molesters within their ranks, and even slate all complaints as apostate driven lies and dishonesty!

  Court cases in the United States and investigations by the Australian Royal Commission show otherwise.

  So who really are the ones who are lying and being dishonest?

  The 2nd video is very well put together.

  I like the way he uses the illustration of the octopus with its arms here and there in regards to WT corporation business dealings.

  He also makes a great point about how elders brush things off having done zero research. This is the standard approach they take when TTATT is brought to their attention.

  This guy has clearly done a lot of research into finding proof of the WT Corporations stocks and shares. As he points out, there is nothing wrong with that, however, when some of these shares are with companies that make weapons, cigarettes, soft porn; that is where the hypocrisy comes in. It seems to be 'Money over morality'.

  And of course......'Jehovah doesn't take American express'. :-)

  Does it not dawn on the cart witnesses?

  i sat in town recently, right in the window of a nice wee pub.

  within minutes i realised that i had a perfect view of a jw cart and the two ridiculously dressed jw's (they have absolutely no individuality at all.

  what's more, they all look like they're going to a funeral).

  Hey Jambon, here's a guy who enjoyed a pint. As someone who never went out in the ministry, I would love to ask him his thoughts on the carts :-)

  My mother became a JW when I was 16. She kept at me and eventually decided on a study. Back then, I thought it was a quaint little Christian faith group that had a clear understanding of the bible. Being young and impressionable, I thought it would meet my spiritual needs. Little did I realise it would take over my life!

  I wonder if the head of the Christian Congregation would give the thumbs up to the GB for making money hand over fist when he returns!!

  New blood cards came to our hall today

  by LevelThePlayingField in

  2. medical

  at the end of the meeting an elder, by way of announcements said there is a new blood document that he said would be passed out to every baptized member of the congregation by way of their service group overseer.

  i knew this day was coming, just had no idea of when.

  he said it was a simplified version and sure to make you sign up for suicide.

  Can I add. The advance decision as made available by the organisation is simply a provision. You have the CHOICE whether to fill it in or not. If you feel uncomfortable with it, you dont fill it in. you can even can write out your own advance decision as long as you have a witness to sign it.

  Please check your countries policy on advance decision to refuse medical treatment before signing something you may regret.

  Under 18' s come under ward of court in a number of countries such as the UK. However, depending on the strictness and rigidity of the parents who view blood transfusions like the plague, they may well indoctrinate their own children to do what they can to refuse blood. There have been some cases where juveniles have stood their ground in their refusal to take blood, only to lose their lives.

  More chance in picking chop sticks up with your butt cheeks than a 1:1 meeting with a GB member.
