a branch overseer of an asian country who happened to be visiting some of his family members in our area, gave a talk this evening in the hall that i used to attend.
i have not been attending meetings for months, but decided to go when my mother, a devout jw, came to visit me last week.
the branch overseer had just returned from attending the annual meeting in new york.
You're right Defender.
The 'Good News' the WTS teaches is not the same as the Good News taught by Jesus and the Apostles.
The 'good news' the WTS is and has been teaching is that the human race will be wiped out. All accept the JWs. and even if you're a JW, you still might be wiped out if you don't do more, more,more ect....
So the only way you might survive is to become a JW and adhere to all the rules and requirements put upon the JWs.
Does that wrap up what the 'good news' is that the JWs teach?

I'd like to go but heck, that's clear across the U.S.
Let us know when you're coming to the Boston area.
Does Barnes and Noble carry your book?

i wanted to hear the president's speech tonight, but can't stand listening to the man.
he has a prepared speech but he keeps saying nuc-you-lar instead of nuc-le-ar.
i can't stand it.. you would think his people would walk him through correct pronunciation.

"Bush is a dry drunk who couldn't count to 12 let alone do the steps.
But he can lie cheat and steal with the best of um.
His father was a traitor to the United States
What the hell the I-a-toll-a loved him"
I would like to see you back these statements up with proof!
As far as I know, Senior President Bush did not give away top secrets to China like some other ex president did.
As far as lieing and cheating, back this up with facts!
As far as President Bush goes, I'm glad we have a president with backbone.
That is what the U.S. was missing for a few years.
What do people want?
If President Bush acts to protect this country and our way of life by stopping a possible attack before it happens, then he's a war monger.
If he doesn't do something and we are attacked again, then it's his fault because he didn't do something to stop it before it happened.
Either way, the people that are ridiculing him will continue to do so because he
may not do things the way they want him to.
Fact is, Hussien can become another Hitler or worse if allowed to get stronger.

you should be ashamed
to call yourselves christian!!

Hi Joanna,
I couldn't agree with you more.
Welcome to our happy little home.

i noticed quite a few former elders commenting on the thread:
http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/forum/thread.aspx?id=37801&site=3&page=1
i thought it was amusing that about 20 percent of the bethelites in my department at bethel have left the organization.
I said that jokingly.
But now that I think about it,
think about how many lurkers would be interested in what you have to say.

Alright all you x-elders.
We want you all to write a public talk to be
presented here every Sunday exposing the WTS
and what it really stands for.

the apostates here have so many wrong assumptions.
anyone that posts against them they assume is defending the society.. i'm neutral towards the society.
i don't defend it nor do i attack it.
HMMMM. Interesting acusations.
And how long were you a JW?
How many members of your family or freinds
are now treating you as if you were dead
because maybe you had the gaul to disagree with some teachings?
How many do you know that died because of the organ transplant teaching?
BTW. It was a teaching that got changed a few years later.
So would you say that those people that died because of it, died for NOTHING?
And how about the blood teaching. It's getting changed bit by bit.
And how many times have you had to change what you believe because the WTS demands that you do it or ELSE loose your family and friends because they will consider you an apostate for not being a BLIND follower and blindly agree and go door to door and teach the same beliefs that are CURENTLY being forced on people?
And I use the word forced because that's what the WTS does. It forces it's teachings under threat of loosing everything.
And lastly, let us not leave out the CONTROL issue.
How many jobs have you had to give up because they may have interfered with meatings.
Or how many freindships have you had to give up because the WTS viewed them as bad associations?
And let us not leave out the pediphile problem.
Do you have kids?
How would you feel if your child was molested by a fellow JW?
How would you feel if you were told NOT to report it to the police?
That they would handle it.
And then it really wasn't handle properly because they don't want the WTS to look bad?
You know the story of Jesica don't you?
How would you feel if the JWs were backing and supporting the molester, even going to court to give suport to the ANIMAL (no offense to real animals) and at the same time treating you, the inocent victom, like you were the worst person on earth?
Oh there's other things but these questions will do.
So tell us your JW experience please.
Interested people would like to know.

just got this from a real well informed, clear thinking, "sister" (?
(about the http://www.watchtower-victims.org/ site)
--- cynthia apperson --- [email protected] --- earthlink: the #1 provider of the real internet.
She apears to be the type that even if the evidence was in front of her, in black and white, she would still deny it.
Funny thing is, how many of us sounded just like her at one time?
Living in JW la la land does have one advantage.
You never have to face reality.
