I agree. If I knew you personally, but you got thrown off this forum, I would still talk to you and greet you.... and even eat a meal with you! It's very different indeed.

*shrugs*, I guess I'm just throwing out what I see as a more plausible explanation for the fiasco. In my mind, and you can disagree if you like, if Rick created JTB in order to draw out a real Bethelite, and he suddenly realized that it wasn't working as well as he thought, the last thing he would do is dedicate an entire show to JTB. He would start to downplay JTB. He would let him fade away. But if JTB brings in the ratings (and that matters because it makes him money), then he would push JTB every change he got - heck! Let's give him his own show!

Or he wants something interesting to discuss during the conference calls so that more people DIAL IN and stay on the line, as he is (maybe) getting kick-backs from all the rural telephone access fees charged to the long distance carriers under the Telecommunications Act of 1996.... It's called "traffic pumping" and that's how free conference call companies make their money.
My posts start about half way down the first page.

the society once even pictured jesus as clean shaven for many years in it's books.
beards were "sort of" banned.
i don't remember a single brother who had privledges with a beard....anyone else?.
When I lived in the south - no beards allowed on stage. When I lived in the north, and the weather got cold, beards were allowed on stage. Elders still shaved. Several elders had mustaches, however.
we all know the watchtower organization is now in a defensive mode.
unrelenting criticism and critical information is rapidly coming forward exposing this esoteric cult.. are their hundreds of bethelites now understanding how evil their "faithfull slave" really is?
has the revolution begun?.
Everyone... stop badgering Rick and just DIAL IN... look, you don't even have to listen to what is said. Just dial in ... please.. dial in... nothing else matters, just DIAL IN!!
in response to the petition to get rick fearon to stop posting on jwn (which i don't agree with despite the fact he can seldom be taken seriously), i would like to start this thread to try to compel johnny the bethelite to join jwn and start posting!!
please johnny, what do you have to fear?
rick- could you compel johnny to start posting to this forum?
YAY! My posts are turning up blank again... lets try it again:
I don't think JTB will ever post here, as that would cut into Rick's telephone traffic and thereby cut into a valuable source of income...

@cedards:
Unfortunately, I don't believe that trthskr is after any measure of credibility. Rather, it seems clear to me that his/her goal is to simply plant these threads in order to redirect traffic to these sites. There could be many reasons why... 1) he/she thinks the site does actually "prove" a case for the WTS and therefore wants to redirect any lurking JWs over there so that at least a little damage control could be done. 2) He actually is the author of the sites, and hopes the increased traffic will cause some lurking JWs to click the "Donate" paypal button.
Maybe there are other ends... But credibility, I don't think he/she cares.

i'm sure we're all familiar with the crazy excuse that the watch tower society leadership came up with to justify their nine year period as a un ngo (non governmental organization).
amazingly, this seems to make perfect sense with watch tower apologists, who don't stop for a moment to ponder the following:.
you don't need to be a un ngo to use the un libraryif it was so innocent for them to hold un ngo status just to use the library, why did they withdraw their status when the issue received media attention?that aside, we are now witnessing the unravelling of fresh scandals to hit the society, most notably:.
@cedars:
Look at "A Long Job Finished", "A View from the 29th Floor", "Human Rights and Wrongs Today" and "Human Rights for All -- A Worldwide Reality!", pages 3-14, Awake! , November 22, 1998.
This was their published "support" of the UN charter. They knowingly sugar-coated their views of the UN, published them in the Awake! to show their support of the charter of the UN. This wasn't a passing oversight.
