Another interesting book is '30 years a watchtower slave' by William J Schnell, printed in the seventies. The author describes how they were instructed by the WTS to break local by-laws so as to be arrested and create publicity by crying "persecution". The book has a lot of information about the Bible Students, as they were then known, in Germany.

Interesting Point Regarding "Persecution" from Rogerson's Book
by lepermessiah ini am reading "millions now living will never die" by alan rogerson, and he makes a great point in his book.. this is something i always firmly believed happened after having serious doubts about jfr, but the wtbs always whitewashes the events and make it sound like the witnesses of the time were just innocent martyrs.other books and articles have confirmed this, but i love how the book puts it very simply.. rutherford was one of the biggest scum-balls of all time - and the desire for "persecution" goes on!

Whose Voice Should We Listen To?
by AGuest into the household of god, israel, and all those who go with... may you have peace!.
i was recently directed to post some truths about the harlot, babylon the great, including who she is (i.e., those who profess to be in union with christ, but are not, and so commit fornication with the "kings of the earth" (e.g., persons such as popes, gb members, and other so-called "leaders" who believe they have been given charge over a "kingdom"... but have not... yet (revelation 17:12)... and when they are, it is soley for the purpose of destroying the harlot (revelation 17:13, 16-18)).. some have taken issue with this truth (who babylon the great is), and praise jah, our lord has given me more to share with you on that matter.
some of you may have already received this truth; however, for those who have not, i share the following, taken from chapters 8 and 9 of the proverbs:.

The only reason most of us are here is......
by Quillsky in.....disfellowshipping, i think.. potential disfellowshipping, current disfellowshipping, disfellowshipping of people we love.. it's the most genius cult tool ever invented..

They should disfellowship everybody for being apostates to their own religion. They have changed their doctrine so often that none of them have any personal integrity left.

My kitty is having kittens soon and Im stressing about it. Advice?
by WuzLovesDubs inlike i dont have enough going on right now...my kitty is expecting and im not sure when she actually got pregnant but im thinking her due date might be around 5/10.
i have read online a bit about the process and i hope she can handle this.

Years ago when I was a teenager, the family cat gave birth to kittens on my bed while I was asleep. I woke up, because I could hear lots of little mewing noises. There was blood everywhere and about six little kittens. They all lived and were perfectly healthy. Don't stress too much.

Half of the Witnesses wouldn't even know the generation doctrine has changed; and the other half wouldn't care. Ignorant or apathetic?

superstition, or something else?
by John Doe ini work at a large retail store.
recently, i've made a dozen or more hook shaped grabbers from conduit in order to pull items from the back of the shelves to the front.
they're handy and professionally made.

Maybe it's because you put your real name on it. They must have recognized the signature.

There is a saying that "prayer is asking, and meditation is listening", which kinda puts a limit on what you can pray for...

unsure about coldplay
by Weeping ini heard a song that i thought was pretty.
however, for the first time im analizing their music;do they belive in satanism?they always talk about the enemy god not in words, hiding words to be exact..or im just imagining things.
anyways, i've deleted their music.

No, they are not satanic- their music is crap. Satan could do much better than that.
