  PROTESTS AT WATCHTOWER CONVENTIONS

  by Lawrence Hughes in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  dear friends,.

  as you may know, the watchtower society takes great pride in its district conventions.

  please contact me if you can attend any of these protests.. there is no reason why every district convention in the world could not have a protest and receive media coverage to expose the watchtower society.

  Protesting topples goverments, protesting can topple the Watchtower!

  No, public protesting such as you do will not topple the Watchtower and at this point in our society, it probably has very little effect on whether someone decides to study with Jehovah's Witnesses or not. If anyone is considering studying with a Witness, all they have to do is Google "Jehovah's Witnesses" and they will receive far more information about this damn cult than any public protest could possibly give. That's the wonderful thing about the internet.

  Ray Franz, in his position as a member of the Governing Body was unable to bring about any change for the better in this religion, but ultimately through CoC, was instrumental in helping probably tens of thousands (if not more) out. Bill Bowen and Barbara Anderson have also helped alot out, but it wasn't done by protesting outside the KH or ASSemblies, but rather through the media and shows like Dateline and 20/20. Personally, I don't know of anyone that's come out of the Organization because they saw an ex-Witness holding a protest sign at the Memorial. As has already been stated, it simply reinforces the 'angry apostate' generalization that Witnesses are taught to avoid at all costs.

  You seem to have an obsession with posters who don't publically reveal their 'name, rank and ID number' for all to see. Did it ever occur to you that many of us still have Witness family members that we still love and want in our lives despite not believing it's "the Truth"? Your black and white attitude seems to be that every single poster on here should be prepared to give up any and all family members for no other reason than you did. And by your yardstick, if we aren't prepared to give them up, then we're "moral cowards".

  Everyone has different circumstances Rick, and instead of insisting that everyone do it your way instead of what works best for them, perhaps you need to take a step back.

  Is the GB that senile, or are the members that blind to see through these shameless shenanigans?

  Yes and yes.

  You know what we need to start doing again? The 'Fun With Covers' that we used to do on here a few years ago.......god they were hilarious! Wasanelder used to upload them to youtube.......And if you think Crooklyn doesn't monitor this site or youtube, think again: I believe they cried "copyright infringement" and he had to (temporarily) take them down..........

  2. friends

  some here like to perpetuate the idea that there is a hidden group lurking in the shadows playing democrats and republicans against each other for their own benefit... or that a new world order is about to annihilate herds of common men to stay in power.. please name one specific living person who is a member of this elite group..

  Most Overblown Examples Used at Assemblies

  by What Now? in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  at a recent assembly, there was a talk highlighting the dangers of higher education.

  the brother used an example of a young girl who went to university, began going to bars, and ended up getting drugged and gang raped - as if this happens to every young jw who chooses to get higher education.. .

  what ridiculous examples have you heard used at meetings or assemblies?.

  Vampire said: him and the wife had a big blow up over the incident at the bar and their marriage ended soon after.

  Hmmm......very interesting since neither one had scriptural grounds for a divorce. Either neither one of them ever had sex again, or one of them would have had to do alot more than drool over someone in a bar.
