That one GB guy to the left looks like Bill O'Reilly.
Anyways, they probably find it safer and more practical to put down Catholicism, like everyone else has been saying.
given that the wbt$ is always ready to insult the catholics and other religions why don't they slam islam in the same way?.
is it because it's not considered 'christian' or do they know that muslims won't take their insults?.
or do they and i just missed it?.

the article in the independent about the use of the term "mentally diseased" by the watchtower society is really gaining momentum.
i thought it would be good to list some of the links about the subject as this spreads across the internet.. i will post a few of the main ones.
feel free to post your own as you find them.. independent article.
sorry if this has been asked before but i would love to know the current ratio on this forum.. i'm a believer/christian former jw for 45 years... born in .
what are you now and what were you?.
.
Still-in, born-in JW, but athiest/agnostic at heart.
I do wonder about the existence of god and won't deny it, but I hate the bible and have no respect for it, or it's god.
however, love for god and for his.
our love for god and his dear son = is of no value unless we are part of the human/earthly organization, the wts.
how many scriptures are actually read and applied at a meeting?
It seems that the WTBS is getting a bit paranoid lately of losing their sheep. The articles dealing with apostates, disfellowshipped family, trusting the org, etc...very interesting, even a little amusing.
as most of us here are aware the wt society is using the " kool-aid " , or witness only version as i call it - to indoctrinate and intimidate jw members through fear and guilt to avoid anything that takes their devotion and attention away from allegiance to the wt society's ambitions.
so the wt society is amping up it's control methods once again in various articles in this issue as well.. first off - notice this quote from page 14 , paragraph 16 , regarding how " dangerous " allegedly the internet is.
it states, " these desires ( of the world ) involve such things as promiscuity, prominence , and possessions.
Luckily, though, it seems as if a lot of younger JWs are going for higher education anyway.
so there i was at the circuit assembly sunday morning with my eyes glazed over as usual when all of a sudden, bam!
a demo with two brothers talking about the new overlapping generation teaching.
the reason it took me by surprise was because it occured during the second talk of the sunday morning symposium, "sanctify god's name by your speech".
This skit will be epic fail.
i cannot find anything remotely racist, and yet i know that some of their older publications that they do not include on the cd has some racist opinions.
i was wondering if anyone else found anything from newer publications.. i don't want there to be any commentslike that, i'm just curious.
i'm still looking..
Thanks, blondie.
@dissed: Yeah, I know. I have found so much mysoginy that it litterally makes me sick sometimes.
hi everyone.
as a parting gift to you all before i take a much needed break from this forum, i thought you would be pleased to know that the independent, a leading uk newspaper, will be publishing a piece on the "mentally diseased" watchtower article in tomorrow's edition.. i would like to thank everybody who has assisted the journalist, jerome taylor, in his investigation.. best wishes to all of you,.

num 31:17 now therefore kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman that hath known man by lying with him.
num 31:18 but all the women children, that have not known a man by lying with him, keep alive for yourselves.
is it any wonder why so many turn a bad leaf when it comes to sexual morality in the jehovah's witness organization.
nateb: You said it!
