  What is really strange about this and the suggestion that AAWA may be behind the video is the public comments that John Cedars has made in the last week. I gather he is still running the show at AAWA.

  He has come out with a blog and a video regarding activism. His blog has the following heading

  Why I can no longer support aggressive forms of activism against Jehovah’s Witnesses

  He says he can no longer support agressive activism which means that at some stage he must have supported it.

  It may be that he is responding to the actions of the two guys in this very video. Could it be that this was his way of sending a message to the very organization that he himself set up? Is he losing control? ......interesting.

  Thanks for the link Island Man. Shame on the parents, it sounds like they are not supporting her and she is concerned that they will shun her.

  The title of the Youtube is very poor and it will be very difficult for it to get much exposure

  As a JW, one of the hardest things to control at Xmas time was not singing along with Xmas jingles, it is nice to have the freedom to sing them now.

  One of my main problems with the WT: A very irresponsible organization

  by Hidden-Window in

  one of my main problems with the watch tower and, more specifically, with the governing body is the level of irresponsibility seen when lives of people are involved and their unapologetical attitude when people suffer due to their absurd policies.. how many people were imprisoned or killed for refusing to perform civil service in exchange for military service?.

  we do not know, but it does not matter, because the society does not even apologize for the harm their blinking light caused.. how many people died or contracted illnesses due to the prohibition of vaccines?.

  we might never know, but an apology is not on the menu.. how many people died for refusing (or disfellowshipped for accepting) fractions of blood when it was against the rules?.

  Their baptismal costume looks very generic. I wonder if this is what Anthony Morris the Third had in mind when he was talking about womens sports clothing.

  We've got a guy at work who's nickname is Pop also, he also has a warm and has a fartherly nature about himself. In contrast Rutherford had virtually no endearing qualities. He was the head of the organization and recognised as such.

  If Rutherford did happen to deserve the name Pappy in an affectionate way it doesn't negate the fact that the organization points their finger at the Catholics for calling their elders, father and are going against bible instruction in doing so.

  The JW widow was having a lot of trouble paying her bills and the family was poor. She had a visit from 2 Elders who sat down with her and discussed her situation. They did not offer her any financial assistance, instead the video goes on to say how it is better to give than recieve and explained how this family were able to give to the organization.

  Twice they showed the family eating at a table and the only food in their bowls was rice.

  Max Larson

  There is some old footage with Max Larson talking about his work at World Headquarters. He worked closely with Knorr, this is part of what he said on the video

  ..."And he said (Knorr) I just got a call, Pappy just went home, That is, he got a call from San Diago. Pappy was Rutherford that died..."

  According to the dictionary Pappy is another word for father. The organization have condemned the Catholics for calling priests 'father'.

  W62 9/15

  CHECK YOUR BIBLE

  For example, at Matthew 23:9 Jesus said: “Call none your father upon earth: for one is your Father, who is in heaven.” (Douay) The surrounding verses show that Jesus condemned other religious titles, such as “Rabbi.” Compare the Lord’s teaching with the Catholic practice of addressing priests by the title “Father.” It requires no trickery to convince sincere people that Catholic practice is in error.
