Anyway, hope this yields some "new light". I found it fascinating and thought that this tape had been lost. (I recorded it in 1990 on VHS)

This is from the description:

-----------

This film footage was recorded sometime in the early to late 1930s. It shows the Beth Sarim mansion and grounds being built, and then later the Watchtower Society president Joseph Rutherford walking around the recently built Beth Sarim.

Some have felt that he is "too happy" in several scenes, where he kisses fruit, twice sticks out his tongue, and appears to be in a very uninhibited frame of mind.

Each can judge for himself. The footage is grainy but is surprisingly well preserved.

Video of admitted child molester in Jehovahs Witnesses has gone viral!

notice these two attorneys opining on this case.. http://watchtowerleaks.com/tagged/child-molestation.

Like it on Facebook. Email the link to friends and families. Talk to local press and media. Send letters to ABC, CBS, etc.

These are how ALL of us can get involved and help bring pressure on the WT to change their disgusting policies that allow this to continue to happen.

Apostates At War With Jehovah's Delusional Organization Strategy

by frankiespeakin in

as the "truth about the truth' (delusional thinking bible interpetations) becomes more wide spread and the rate of jws leaving the clutches of the wt corporation increases a war/battle results, it is true some are just happy to get out with no need to inflict any retaliatorial injury to the corporation that held them hostage through deciet.

many on the other hand want to get their families out of this cult and a restoration of their good name from the cruel slander of an organization that has made a fortune off of their free labor and now forbids it members to have anything to do with them causing a great loss in former friends and family members.

is retailiation in order for these offenses?

Interesting thread Frankie thanks... we are gonna kick WT$ ass by attrition.

JWStruggle post: Bethel Layoffs Reveal a Kingdom without Clothes

by Londo111 in

http://www.jwstruggle.com/2013/07/bethel-layoffs-reveal-a-kingdom-without-clothes/.

despite everything, i still have a lingering admiration toward those who serve or have served in bethel.

it is not that i believe it is gods organization in any way, shape, or form.

That's the point Bangalore- The downsizing of Bethelites shows that the WT Corp is like most (if not all) big companies, protecting their bottom line at all costs.

Your views and ideas on forum areas and organization?

by Simon in

this may come as a shock to some people, but the current forum structure was kind of thrown together without much real thought and then evolved a bit over time.

there are a few things that particularly grate on me and areas where i don't think the subjects work particularly well.

'friends' is a bit vague and becomes a dumping ground, news & world events vs politics & current affairs is hard to decide sometimes, child abuse is a scandal but isn't contained withing 'scandals & coverups' etc.... with a new forum platform imminent, it's a good time to solicit ideas to improve things.
