  Dad is Nuts!

  by White Dove in

  1. watchtower
  2. medical

  he goes from hot to cold and back and forth again when he skips his meds.

  he loves us one week and hates us and the whole world the next.

  what makes this unbearable for us is that he acts it out, giving us the cold shoulder and blaming us for his miserable life.

  Valley Farms Corp. What do they protect with it?

  by MinisterAmos in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  most already know that watchtower corp atty phil brumley uses a patterson, ny address as his residence.

  using google maps, 131 brimstone road, patterson ny is starting to shape up into a veritable mansion.

  maybe they are planning another rutherford (also an atty) style beth sharim but this time close to wallkill?.

  Anti Social Personality Disorder in WT cult leaders?

  by Dogpatch in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  there is an interesting article in the volume 5, number 3 (2006) of cultic studies review (http://www.culticstudiesreview.org) and i wanted to share a few of the interesting points related to anti-social cult leaders.

  while application to a seasoned cult like the watchtower may be more ambiguous than a one-leader organization, i would like to know your viewpoints as to how you may have noticed any of these tendencies among elders and other leaders within the watchtower organization.

  it certainly applies to rutherford for one!
