Lett video
by Gorbatchov ini watched the stephen lett video @ jw.org .
the first minutes he shows himself as a nice chap.
uncle stephen knows what's best for you.. and then i see the extreme fundamentalist he is, talking short about apostates.

Listener
He makes these accusations without any evidence whatsoever. The funny thing is that apostates have been making an issue of how they have been dealing with pedo's for years and it isn't until now, when there are more high profile court cases, that they try to make apostates out as liars. -

JW's use UN to condemn South Korea for imprisonment of Conscientious Objectors
by cappytan inalthough the organization condemns the un as a satanic organization that will turn on jws and try to destroy them, they're not above using the evil satanic image of the wild beast for personal gain.. link to article on jw.borg here: http://www.jw.org/en/news/legal/by-region/south-korea/human-rights-violations-conscientious-objectors/.
pasting text below in case you don't want to click through:.
south korea guilty of arbitrary detention of conscientious objectors.

You could understand if they appointed someone such as a lawyer to present their issues to the South Korean Government but to seek out the services of the UN to do this for them is amazing.
The fact that they are doing this shows their very support for this organization and that they have faith that they can do something for 'God's organization'.

Millie in the recent Watchtower article about AM III there is a picture of his family. He has two sons who are both married and there are no others. The sons and daughter in laws all work at Bethel. -

My hubby has a beard and love it as it suits him. He used to have it fairly long and we laugh when we look back at some of the photo's. He keeps it pretty short these days and it looks so much better. He uses a electric grooming kit and finds it much easier than using scissors.
You can always shave if you don't like it.

Thanks for posting a snapshot of it. I had read on JW Talk that she was wearing the badge but I couldn't believe it until I saw it myself. -

A talk was given by GB member David Splane in the February 2015 JW Broadcasting Video. He talks about unity and sings the praises of JWs. He points his finger at the Catholics and says this about them (39.32)-
<<Who have applied Paul’s counsel today? The Catholic Church? During WW2 in the City of Rome there were Jews and there were Romans. How did the Romans treat the Jews? The Vatican and pious Italian Catholics looked silently by whilst 7,500 Jews were hauled off to the concentration camps in Ulswitch and few returned alive. What a contrast with Jehovah’s people who have risked their lives on behalf of fellow believers in many countries, no matter what their race, no matter what their nationalities Doesn’t it make you feel good to belong to an organization where there truelly are no foreigners?. They never said a word>>

I know that most of the time their choice of examples are so poor in proving their point but this example is crazy, if not untruthful. I always thought that the Catholic Church did a lot to help hide and look after Jews.
He forgot to mention that there were also JWs in Rome at this time. Could he say how the JWs stood up for the Jews? Were the leaders encouraging JWs to hide and feed Jews? They would never even consider doing such a thing.
He contrasts the idea that JWs look after their own whereas nothing he said explained how the Catholics weren’t also looking after their own.

Here's what their 1990 W 12/1 says about Movie Stars
The homage that charismatic sports stars, movie stars, and other entertainers receive from their fans also is akin to worship.
The dictionary meaning of homage is "special honour or respect shown publicly"
It is at 23.20 in the video, sorry I don't know how to post a clip of the video but here's a link to the video

It does prove that the GB do sanction all these pins and badges.

Lett briefly addresses the child abuse issues in new JW.org video
by Richard_I ini just read about this on the ex-jw subreddit.
link to the video (10m06s).. skip to 7:35 where he says: "another way we can contribute to the oneness - rejecting false stories that are designed to separate us from jehovah's organization.
as an example, think about the apostate-driven lies and 'dishonesties' that jehovah's organization is permissive toward pedophiles.
-
Listener
It's sickening and the opposite of an apology. Would he be prepared to stand in front of a crowd of ex/JWs who have been unnecessarily abused and say what he is saying?
When will these one eyed men realize that sincere religion should be about love. Not idolized love towards an organization but love for one another and particularly our children.

Talking to support and contacts at WT HQ
by Juan Viejo2 ini have a story to share about my calls to wt ny hq this past week.
i was quite surprised by the level of disinterest and lack of concern from the two contacts that i spoke to.
rather than jumping right in and sharing my experience - and perhaps "poisoning the well," i'd like to read experiences of others on this forum who had the urge or need to call the wt contact number.. btw - mine was not an apostate rant or overly critical of the wt and was presented in a friendly and helpful way.

I thought Inform Ant was part of AAWA. I think Inform Ant is the same person on Youtube as ex JWs International. She is a lot more 'loose' with her words and comments when she does a Youtube as Inform Ant.
Thanks Juan for posting your calls to Bethel. The young lady was clueless, she had no idea what might happen to your comments if she passed them on but finally had the foresight to get your name and number. They take such great pride in the fact that they can be contacted via snail mail.
