IF God exists and we are his children then I don't agree. As a parent I want my kids to be happy every minute of every day where ever they are.

This caused a real shit stir amoung witnesses at the time. What I found funny about the first video was at 1:03, 1:04 was my cousins and grandmother in the shot. (Tall redhead, girl with glasses and the old bird between them) The cousin on the right was abused by an elder down in Tasmania and the old girls husband, our grandfather, abused me and my other cousin (these two girls brother).

What is Awake! supposed to be good for?
by dgp init is clear to me that the watchtower is a mix of official daily and official organ.
what gets published there is not only the "truth", but also the law.

An Honest Encounter At The Door!
by Bangalore inyour religion is false.. householder: false?

Brilliant. Reminds me of when my step daughter (about 10 at the time) came home from the park with the kid from next door in tow. "Mum I was just telling Vivian how she and her family are going to die at Armageddon if they don't become Jehovah's Witnesses. Can you tell her why?" Hilarious watching my ex trying to explain her way out of that. I'm sure the other kids very religeous parents loved hearing about that around the dinner table that night. Out of the mouth of babes.

"The organization has never disappointed us..."
by Franklin Massey inin the simplified english edition of the july 15th, 2011 watchtower, in an article that warns jws about apostate influences, the following quote is given as a reason to stick close to the watchtower organization:.
"the organization has never disappointed us and always gives us an abundance of pure waters of truth from god's word.".

I can think of quite a few victims of child molestation that are just a little disappointed by the organization. These guys really are deluded, pious twats.
