the boys at wt hq seem pretty sincere about the end being just a whisper away.
much of what they are doing smells of a batten down the hatches and brace for impact mindset.
i know this is a drum they have been beating for decades, but.... [if !supportlists]- [endif]the intensity seems to be ramping up.. [if !supportlists]- [endif]they know more about the lawsuits, low baptisms, youth retention rate, apostate uprising, etc... than we do.. [if !supportlists]- [endif]i think many of them really believe they are gods one true organization and they view these events as prophesy-fulfilling.. [if !supportlists]- [endif]i think they foresee their own impending demise.. they are taking all the guess work out of the state of their stability.
Very good point Wasblind!
Galatians 1: 11-12 " For I put you on notice, brothers, that the good news which was declared by me as good news is not something human. For niether did I recieve it from man, nor was I taught it, except through revelation by Jesus Christ."
Question : How were the men in Brooklyn, able to overstep Jesus and get info directly from The Father himself ????
help us to reflect gods glory?.
god and reflect his glory.
10 to reflect gods glory, we also need.
Theme: ‘Are You Reflecting the Glory of Jehovah?’
1) Not when you allow pedophiles and molesters to roam free among the flock.
2) Not when you promote and practice hatred such as disfellowshiping and shunning.
3) Not when you teach such untruth as no blood transfusions.
When a so called Christian religion’s main doctrines follow the above agenda and leadership stubbornly refuse to change-they are not even reflecting the glory of their Savior and Redeemer Jesus Christ.
there are a lot of interesting people that frequent this site.. sometimes, we get an idea of what the posters are really like in "real life".
and i'm sure i could be easily surprised by some that you think might be strong personalities because of their board presence, and in reality, they might be shy in a face to face setting.. i would enjoy meeting simon.
simon used to be terribly annoyed by my posting and now i think he's accepted with tolerance my being here.. farkel seems like a grouchy cantankerous fellow but i think he'd be very interesting company!.
Of the many I would like to meet, one that stands out on my list is ATLANTIS. I’ve always appreciated the timely BOE letters and other ‘hot off the press’ WT documents he has shared with us.
no doubt ray franz is at the top.... paul grundy's web site jwfacts.com helped me the most!
thanks paul!!!.
randall watters from freeminds.org has got to be way up there.... who else?
I was at a CA about a year ago. We had a WT heavy visit and give a few talks. One of his talks was on the dangers of 'Apostasy'. In the course of his discussion he mentioned a certain female who had a certain web site who had at one time worked in the writing department and who now is no longer a JW faithful but uses her web site to blah, blah, blah! It was very obvious to me he was talking about the Truth Seeker we all know as Barbara Anderson.
So, yes I would say Barbara and Joe Anderson are high on WT's list of Apostates Truth Seekers!
Thank you Joe and Barbara for all you do.
time because jehovah god can cause.
were fulfilled at specified times should.
prophecy regarding jerusalem and judah show.
Par 12 1 st sentence says: ' Buying out the opportune time is not easy in a world full of distractions.’
Its’ rather obvious why WT quotes Mat 24:37 instead of Luke’s account which also speaks of Noah’s day. Mat 24:37 omits the part where Luke 17:28 says: ‘They were eating, they were drinking, they were buying, they were selling, they were planting, they were building.’
The WTBTS is afraid to admit it; but instead being busy in the preaching activity itself (as they profess) they are actually rather heavily involved in buying, selling and yes building real estate projects! Very much contrary to what the Lord and Savior says his true Faithful and Discreet Slave would be doing in the time of the end.
Its’ evident that WTBTS has gotten distracted!
Excellent research as usual Blondie!

knowing that the candace conti child abuse case was probably coming down the turnpike as was the 5 out of court child abuse settlements the wt society settled in san diego, california - this past april as most of you know the wt society sent a secret letter instructing all elders to essentially keep their " pie-holes " shut ( mouths for those not hip to modern lingo ) and essentially instructed them to not divulge anything to any authorities investigating crimes or other information concerning wt organization operations.. someone posted a thread on this in april, however - with all the news coming out about wt child abuse coverups, the anonymous organization investigating the wt society , i felt it important to reveal some snippets of what the wt society instructed their elders regarding legal issues.
in one section it states, " when someone seeks confidential information : you should never reveal confidential information to anyone unless theocratic procedure requires it or the branch office has instructed you to do so.
If you’re going to remain an Elder with the Jehovah’s Witness Organization or you presently are a Ministerial Servant reaching out for the position of oversight as an Elder, I strongly recommend looking into the possibility of obtaining malpractice clergy insurance. Especially should you consider this if you have assets such as a home that has equity and or a savings account that could eventually be attached in the event of a judgment against your congregation. You never know when WT may decide to throw you (the Elder) under the bus just as it has turned its’ back on many abused and molested JW children.

the public domain court documents for the 5 victims wt settled out-of-court case in may-june 2012, attorney irwin zalkin, san diego, calif., have been uploaded using mediafire:.
Other general statements that the ‘Campos’ WT Attorney made. Shows just how misinformed he is:
'The purpose of the Theocratic Ministry School and Service Meeting is to help publishers to progress in their teaching and field ministry activity, not to ensure uniformity and consistency in the distribution of literature. Publishers are not required to attend meetings nor are they required to receive training with regard to their teaching and field ministry activity.'
'Congregants are not required to observe any dress code or personal grooming guidelines established by Watchtower when they engage in formal field service. However, congregation members are encouraged to follow the Bible’s guidelines for well-arranged and modest dress and grooming.'
'The primary purpose of a congregation member’s field service activity is to preach the Good News of God’s Kingdom and honor Jehovah God, not to invite people to meetings at the Kingdom Hall or to begin Bible studies so as to attract new members.'

The following are some general statements that the 'Campos' WT Attorney made. Wonder what planet he lives on?
'Congregation publishers are not required to complete or turn in any forms regarding their field ministry activity to anyone.'
'Before Jehovah’s Witnesses engage in their field ministry, they generally meet for a brief a meeting for field service, which is generally conducted by an elder or ministerial servant. However, publishers are not required to attend a meeting for field service before they begin their field service activity.'
'Congregation members are not required to engage in the ministry in any specific territory.'
'Congregation members are not required to call on homes in an assigned territory. The primary purpose of a congregation member’s field service activity is to preach the Good News of God’s Kingdom and honor Jehovah God.'
jane doe v. watchtower bible and tract society of new york, inc.. .
jury trial - june 14, 2012 - day 10. .
mr. schnack: ladies and gentlemen of the jury, the judge has instructed you that it is your choice to award or not to award punitive damages.
WT attorney Schnack says: ‘I encourage you to award no punitive damages in this case.’
Apparently WT thinks they are the exception to Jesus Christ’s following words: ‘And if a person wants to go to court with you and get possession of your inner garment, let your outer garment also go to him;’ (Mat 5:40)
I agree with other comments; WT needs to go thru the school of hard knocks and pay the punitive damages. Paying a hefty fine will help to insure it exhausts itself from this day forward in protecting children.

Pardon my french. But after reading much of the court documents related to these two cases, the thought that comes to mind is .....God Damn the WTBTS!
I'm disgusted, ashamed and sickened by the denial of any fault or culpability by WTBTS in these molestations. So please .....God Damn the WTBTS!
