  Questions on Stephen Bates Article WT attack

  thought you'd be interested to know that i have just been forwarded a note from the watch tower, belatedly in response to the tiny little story i got in on 17 november about that chicago jw couple accused of beating their daughter to death.

  it is interesting that they shld respond - on headed notepaper, apparently from pennsylvania - nearly a month later about something that really got very little space and i can't help feeling it's not unconnected with the other stuff i was writing at that time.

  this is it, in full:.

  Proxy for the Annual Meeting

  by MoeJoJoJo in

  i remembered there was some discussion several months ago concerning the annual meeting when i came across this form attached in an old watchtower, dated september 1, 1935. i thought it might be of some interest to some here.

  notice in the instructions that "each person or company that has contributed $10.00 or more at one time to the work of the society is entitled to one vote for each $10.00 so contributed".. personally i thought it was interesting.

  thanks bitter mango for your help.. .

  The REAL reason subscriptions have stopped!

  by LDH in

  i know there's a million more out there, so post 'em!.

  whilst speaking with pops last night, i asked how he felt about not getting his subscription any more.

  he was trying his best to be chipper about it.

  All I know is, I haven't placed a mag in years. The society doesn't give us the mags. WE have to pay for them and then go out and *place* them, hopefully getting some change to *help* in the publishing process. Well I won't do that. I refuse to pay for magazines, Bibles and such and then go out and give them away. Plus pay $1.50+ a gallon for gas to drive around for hours for not at homes.

  Does anyone else see the irony here?

  ---why did you leave the society??---.

  was it one thing or several?

  Cannot understand without the organisation

  by ozziepost in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  just in case any lurkers here may be in doubt about the criticisms made of the witnesses' idolizing of an organisation, here is a selection of their claims, in their own words:.

  "he [god] does not impart his holy spirit and an understanding and appreciation of his word apart from his visible organisation.

  " (the watchtower, july 1, 1965, page 391).

  I'm just curious. What is this "borg" some are talking about. I'm not familiar with the term. Thanks.

  JWMAN, I don't know who you think you are, but you're NO witness. You don't sound anything like a witness. I know, because I've been associated somewhat for over 30 years. Inactive, though I may be. But I know what a witness sounds like when he/she speaks.
