The best part is there is some truth to the accusation. There is nothing written anywhere that says it was wrong. Even if everything was completely true there is nothing in the bible, watchtower, elders book (which is basically just quoting other watchtowers as it were fact or bible) that would say that what was going on was wrong or would be a real problem.

WTBTS do no wrong in the eyes of believers?
by Momma-Tossed-Me inthe wtbts has enjoyed a well insulated capsule of people for a long time.
the amount of adherents that left was minimal because of the thick wall of fear.
they are riding on a sharp edge that with one great movement one way or the other could ruptre and cause great hemmoraghing.

I cant wait for everything to come crashing down. Some people think that this religiong will slowly crumble over a long time. They still may be true but I feel something very damaging and losing lots of money and followers is in the near future. I can only hope

Can the Watchtower Society survive without time reports?
by DT inthere has already been much discussion about how the watchtower society has declared in australia that going door to door is part of a personal ministry.
this seems to be a lame attempt to avoid liability considering that they require time reports and have formal meetings for field service at the kingdom hall.. this is a bit of a dilemma.
reporting time and formal meetings for field service are important methods of control, however it's not clear if the organization is willing or able to handle the potential liability that may come from this.. imagine what would happen if they lost these methods of control.

Does WBTS failure to self-deprecate prove lack of God's spirit?
by Fernando in(luke 17:10) .
.so you, also, when you have done all the things assigned to you, say, we are good-for-nothing slaves.
what we have done is what we ought to have done.. (matthew 20:25-27) .

I had a conversation on the phone today with two different elders today. I dont want to post the topic that we discussed on here at this time. They had a problem with something going on in my life and I said where is it written that this is a problem. I told them it doesnt say anything about this topic in there elders book and they agreed. I said where is your information coming from. Funny, they quoted a 1984 Watchtower. I said lets take something that 30 years old and outdated seriously. They said the wording could be taken a couple different ways. I think they were more surprised at my pressured speech toward them more than anything. The best part is they were trying to protect the person they heard the problem from. They kept trying to pawn it off on another elder saying they heard the problem from them. Finally they gave in and told me who it was. I told them basically anybody that has a problem with me and wants to discuss my life doesnt need to talk to me anymore. The worst part is they said they were suppose to confirm what they heard with me first and they called two other people before me. I said your wrong as you should have called me first but you didnt. You failed at calling me first which you should have done in the first place. I was so effing angry today.
I want to thank them because this only expedites my departure from the religion.

First Aid @ the D.C.s -- could direction from Society cause them a lawsuit?
by tresdecu ini posted about something similar 3 years ago when i first joined.
even though my attendance hasn't been great the last year or so, i was asked to help my bro in law in first aid this year at the convention.
to make a long story short, the society has printed instructions for attendants to not cal 911 for an emergency.
