recently i started editing a few articles, mostly about jehovah's witnesses, excommunication, raymond franz etc.
on the german wikipedia.
after a while i noticed i could add a little description about myself.
Great work hofer ! I love wikipedia, it's a wonderful recourse for information.
My family and I gave up on religion too. Here's our blog about Babylon the Great's demise,
including the WT portion of it. Keep up the good work on wikipedia, they need you!

i have been very busy lately but i had to stop for a few and write this.. it is beyond me why the wts has the need to not only lie but to keep making stuff up as they go along.
the latest being an experience related to the jws at my local hall (a friend of mine who still goes told me).
was visiting this week and related the following account:.
A common phrase that the elders started using in our area this last decade and a half is :
"Are you sure your not embellishing the truth?" Obviously they are aware of the practice.
They question the congregate when it's something that they don't want to hear.
But if it takes embellishment to get a member from their congo. up on the assy. stage
to announce the name of their congo, then their all for that! Great elders PR for the CO!

i thought the topic of religion would be a great one for facebook.. wow, was i wrong about that.. http://www.facebook.com/pages/god-is-not-divided/112694992130588.
the only people are show any interest at all are catholics.. witnesses seem to avoid every venue where somebody else might show up.. zionists do likewise; but they have a different reason.. but, god yhvh is god of the whole earth, is my point.. anybody got any idea what i can do to stimulate godly conversation on my page?.
i'm tryin' to minister to the merely-confused as witnesses do out in service.. .
Nice concept for facebook, shechaiyah!
Maybe you'll like mine, it's about true worship.
watchtower baptizing young children.
today i uploaded a new article to my blog addressing further the subject of watchtower and baptism of young children.
the sweet little boy youll see in this blog article had no capacity whatsoever to understand the commitment he would be held to.
The GB of the WT's agenda on; underage baptism...
1) Hook'em while their young and inexperienced,
2) Work on their minds so they'll talk peers into getting baptized,
3) A useful tool in encouraging parents to "stay in the truth"
4) Build up your numbers as adults in the US are becoming aware
5) Provide adulation for the elders so they won't leave the org,
6) Have more kids preaching than the Mormons!
last week a letter of the dutch branche office was read in the congregation.
it was about a name change for.
the jw organization in the netherlands.
Right on illuminator!
Maybe, "Watch Tower Kingdom" on earth,
or "Corporation Hall" meetings,
perhaps "Church of Jehovah" (German YHWH spelling),
even "Society Congregates of The New World Order" !
this has been a question i have asked over and over even when i was a very devout jw.
please do not get me wrong in thinking that i am trying to be mean or cruel or unkind to those who have mental illness, that is not in the least where i am going with this.
what i mean is i think it is cruel to send them door to door, it puts way to much stress on them and it looks bad for the name jehovah.. it seemed that in every hall i have ever been in there were some people who were extremely mentally ill. there have always been some in every hall who were schizophrenics or suffered major depression, or other forms of mental illness.
When the last members of our family started to fade, only one attempt was made at visiting us.
But three attempts were made to "give us your time!" Not: 'Oh, you might be in need of encouragment',
just a: "if there's anything the elders can do, let us know!"
We sent then our time, though we quit going. Next month they were preparing for the CO's coming.
Again no encouragement, and asked for that month's time!
We had 18 hours each, but never turned in hours any more to these time bandits.
i was discussing with an elder today, and as usual the conversation drifted towards apostates and their line of reasoning, he angrily looked into my eyes with the scriptures in his hand and told me:.
(1) that apostates are destructive peddlers who shut the door of everlasting life on people as they are very sure they have no portion in there.
he quoted matt 23:13- 13 woe to you, scribes and pharisees, hypocrites!
The Adventists apostatized from the Protestants,
Who apostatized from the Catholic Church,
Who apostatized from the disciples of Jesus.
The only way to clear out all the layers of apostasy
is to start from the beginning again. That requires a
knowledge of the early apostles writings, and beliefs.

If one of their org's gets sued or shut down, they have others still functioning.
The power, the honor, and the glory continues to flow money to them!

1) It builds comradery among the R&F for the common WT goal.
2) Instills in the baptized that every one has to contribute something.
3) Affords opportunities to sit down again and be treated to a long break.
4) Gives them "that real good feeling!" in an otherwise dull day.
5) Boosts the hours of the Congo so they can compete for assy. parts.
6) Proves to "the world" that WT has numbers; bragging rights.
