learning the truth about the watchtower society can be very painful for a number of reasons.
first, it is so disconcerting to realize that the core of your existence and the foundations of your beliefs are false that it can throw you for a real loop.
as witnesses we are so confident in all of the answers we have been given, to questions that we never asked, that we mentally put ourselves up on a pedestal above the masses of poor, blind, wicked humanity.

a while back we ran a "competition" whereby people could pose questions of candace conti and rick simons for them to answer in a video.. there were so many questions that we needed to do a series rather than just one video.
this first instalment is now on youtube.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bhvfefpig4a.
here are the questions that were answered.... (to rick, asked by "exwhyzee") is there a possibility that part of the ruling, if you overcome the appeal, will be that the society must make an announcement outlining the details of the case to its members, as well as an apology to candace?.
Bravo, cedars, nugget, cantleave, Juan Viejo and of course the courageous Conti's.

They are going to start plagiarizing you for material. Heck you are a one man writing department.

Who the hell is Justice Beaver?
i am pleased to announce that candace conti, and her key lawyers rick simons and kelly kraetsch are planning a youtube video to answer any questions that people in our community may have regarding the recent conti v watchtower lawsuit.
i have offered to coordinate the gathering of these questions, and i thought it might be fun to do it in a "competition" style jwn thread, with the best answers being chosen by kelly, rick and candace to be addressed in the video.. as you can imagine, there are some provisos to this.... this is an active lawsuit, so for obvious legal reasons kelly, rick and candace will have the absolute and final decision as to which questions are answered and how much information is divulged when they are answered.we need the answers in the next 7 days, so the "cut off" for this competition is exactly 7 days from the time this thread goes live on jwn.we kindly request that all questions are asked in a respectful manner without any malicious or offensive intent.
any inappropriate questions will obviously be discarded and ignored.
Has there been interest in the case by the national television media and would Candace and Rick ever consider appearing on a news magazine program?
you may have heard the expression: "the map is not the territory.
" have you ever thought about how this idea may help you reach your loved ones stuck in a cult?
the phrase has been attributed to polish-american scientist and philosopher alfred korzybski.
This is a great thread. One of the things that has helped me a little is to show my loved one sections of the elder book. This has surprised them and convinced them that hypocrisy abounds. I have also shown them copies of recent letters to the BOE that deal with molestation and porn.
Another angle that has been sucessful is pointing to the recent cost cutting measure done by the society in terms of branch closures, property sales and publishing changes, and asking "if branch dedications and expansion of facilities and publications are evidence of God's spirit blessing the work, what are the closures, sales and cost cutting measures evidence of? "
I have come to realize that some people will never wake up, simply because they need someone to tell them how to think and act. They need the cult more than it needs them.

they got the dna to prove it.
there are other dna studies, too - although the ones i've heard about concluded that it was an unknown primate, not a human.
I think it's real. There are too many people who have seen it and heard it with correlating accounts. There is something to it.

so for the first time i dialed in.
rick fearon....what a joke.
he sounds like a new jersey 3rd grade retard with tourette syndrome trying to play the role of pt barnum.
Mouthy you are a legend. I applaud everything you have done to free the ones trapped in the cult and all of the others who have done so also. Your efforts are invaluable, and I realize that there are many who have carried the torch with success.
I sincerely think it is best if I mind my place and shut my fucking mouth.
good bye!

Fair point my dear mouthy... I sincerely apologize. You are right. I am not out in the open like Rick. That is my fault and it is easy to criticize from the sidelines.
