  the august 2010 awake!

  magazine, (cover title) "jehovah's witnesses, who are they?

  ", seems to be a pr puff piece aimed primarily at a european audience.

  In most European countries, legal action is not taken - and if it is, this is occasional and nothing compared to the States. One of the reasons is that the claims that can be made are very small - perhaps at the very most a few thousand dollars, which is likely not higher than the legal fees.

  Of course there are many informally appointed 'ederettes' in the organization. However formally will never ever happen. Just this past weekend the WT hammered again on submisiveness of the woman.

  Hopefully a few Elders will wake up if they see the likely tighter control the new book will have.

  Here a great video on one of those great Brochures.

  They suggest you look the references up, as they know that 99.9% don't take the effort. I looked all of those up under "Human Evolution" and almost all are misquoted or taken out of context. Verifying the brochure strengthend my support for evolution, which is a scientific FACT.

  Will the children & babies of Sodom be resurrected?

  by Think About It in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  most of us know the 1/2 dozen or so flip flops the wts has had on whether or not the people of sodom would be resurrected.

  currently, i believe the "newest light" is no, but has the wts said anything concerning a resurrection for their children & babies?

  if the sodom children & babies receive no resurrection, that would seem a bit unfair when the wts is willing to claim resurrection for jw pedophile sodomizers.

  Blondie, Thanks again for your many efforts.

  One thing - I think that you have forgotten to post the past few on JWR and we have many newbie, some who still have to attend meetings for which this would be helpful. Can you please repost here too. Thanks once again.

  Studying with you is "easy hours". Far easier than door to door. I know various examples of studies that have lasted for over a decade. The only one who can call it quits is you.

  But perhaps you should do a study which focusses on the history of their organization. Use the book "Captives of a Concept" to guide you through. Discuss topics like 607 versus 587 with them and see how long it will then last...

  Memorial attendance down slightly in U K for 2010

  by alanv in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  the u k is following the trend of recent years in reporting that 637 less people attended the memorial than in 2009. the actual figure was 222795 as reported in the july kingdom ministry.

  (sorry i can't provide a scan as i only got to have a sneak look at it.

  ) there were 284 partakers.. since 2003 that is a 2% increase.

  I think in the past, many who left the org, still tended to attend the memorial. With the majority now leaving for discovering the truth about the "truth" they see no need to continue attendance to listen to the bullshit. Hence the organization's house of cards is starting to crumble.

  Same is for active publishers. Now kept up artificially by old/sick reporting 15 minutes and both parents reporting 4 hours automatically.
