i thought the page on the official jw site "are you an american sect?
" is quite disturbing.
the borg really has no problem lying thru their teeth!".
I had a chat with JWs last time they came, about the HUMAN LEADER, and of course they said no we dont have a human leader...
I said "oh yes you do, its called a composite leader, made up of 7 MEN...collectivly the human leader.
I am sure the public are becoming more aware too of the WT double speak

i saw them coming down the street...the excitment grew.....then 2 people walked up to my door.... .
one could hardly speak english...struggling to invite me to the memorial....i said "why should i go".
they told me ...bec jesus died for everyone just one day a year is very important.... .
she is not actually required to shun a child living at home. DF or not...just a liitle correction.
I would love them to visit me this week...i would copy your lead!

any suggestions to bring a end to the attacks on us who have.
left the borg and continuing efforts to alienate our love one still.
in the borg.. how about this, we all send letters to hq, flood the mail room with.
The Watchtower does not have exclusivity on being an arsehole organization.
There is no better way to hurt any corporation than by the public learning the truth about them. In commerce people say it by how they spend dollars, in politics it's by voting. With religion its by walking out or slamming doors.
The way to go is the media, there is no point in an attack on HQ itself. The media will, if provided with accurate information, do it for us. Thay will not lead to the Watchtower getting shut down but they may well force them to change like it or not. And if not, then it will stop them growing.

slamming the door on jehovah's witnesses.
she is an apostate, which sounds like a strange disease, and in many ways it is.
seems the reporter did neglect to check just who is in charge at Sydney bethel
Viv is long gone.
This sort of press needs to be on the front page of all the papers
Oz
this popped up on the age website today, might have to buy the paper tomorrow..... http://www.theage.com.au/national/jehovahs-witnesses-a-cruel-cult-20130315-2g5x3.html.
wow just wow
Thats a pretty big lie BUT we should be careful...the only quoted word is "Myth" not vincents whole alledged sentance, he may have used the word in any number of contexts.
that said, its pretty obvious that the WT spins one story to the press and another to the rank and file...probably what vincent did say...but JWs would point out what i just did too.
The heat is certainly being turned up

the following are two emails (one mine, one from an elder) that are part of an exchange regarding the unfairness of shunning.
he is an elder and a substitute of the c.o.
he comes from a "highly decorated" family of jw's.
he gave you the public propaganda answer seeing as you have never been a JW...
Oz
chatter on the street is that there exists a very high possiblility of the new newworld translation being distributed.
it comes from a reliable sources, but who knows.
has anyone heard anything about this?.
perhaps it will be released online only and all the dubs can spend $200 at the local print shop...
cost da corporation nuthin'

hi folks.
that's right, the new june 15th 2013 study edition is out now on this link.... http://download.jw.org/files/media_magazines/28/w_e_20130615.pdf.
the following quote caught my eye, from the final study article on page 28.... .
and what 'robert' really meant was that he needed his family so much that he pretended to love god and obey the governing body in order to have them even check if he was still alive.
It is indeed a cult i now admit
oz
no one will take my intent to da or df seriously.
they called me again (three brothers this time) and asked me to meet with them.
i had no intention of doing so....simply told them there was nothing to talk about.. .
I am sorry to tell you but these men will forget you like you have never been born.
yeah they are nice and soooo full of love for any and all that obey the governing body.
you are now bird food to them, oh they may go 'oh so sad, we tried' to ease their own consciences and please others for about a week, but like i said...
you haven't been born.
Oz
after today's watchtower study which was basically a mind controlling article about shunning your loved disfellowshipped ones, i've come to see just how sick, twisted, vile, rotten, repulsive, disgusting, and just plain evil you all are.
so i stormed out.
i don't know if i'll ever come back to your meetings again.
Good on you for storming out
the only thing that might have made that better would have been to stand up in the middle of the hall and abusing WT soundly first!
