There was a thread in one of the topcs on this forum .....I think it was aclled "Smoking Gun" and it had copies of a letter from the WTB&TS stating the '2 witness' rule. I believe the incriminating lines were high-lighted in yellow. I meant to bookmark it, but didn't.....duh. Does anyone out there remember it? If so could you please advise me of a link, or send the letter to this thread. Thanks.......this site rocks. Y'all are great.

by Simon Morley injust thought i would share another hurdle over in the road to recovery from dubdom.

I grew a goatee a few months ago ----have wanted one for decades. The fact that it bears a strong resemblence to Sparlocks is just one more reason to keep it. I was thinking of shaving it off. My wife isn't thrilled with it, tho my 8 year old g'daughter says she wants one just like it, and a white moustache too. hahaha, gotta love kids.

In the same book, go to page 159 and look at Jesus out-stretched right hand----just next to his thumb--- See the face? Very similar to some artists depiction of the Greek God Pan. I asked 2 elders who came to visit me to explain these. Uhhh, Ummm: 'strange phnomena.....possible misprints' and why are they in several editions when they could have been editied out......duh.

Watchtower Society - Your Reputation Has Been Permanently Damaged
by DT ina jury has determined that the watchtower society is responsible for allowing child abuse to occur within its ranks.
this won't change, even if the case is later dismissed on a legal technicality.. the public is beginning to lump them in the same category as the catholic church and other institutions that are more concerned about their own reputation than the protection of children.. their "spiritual paradise" has been revealed to be a fraud.
their members can't feel safe in their organization.

Our responsibility is to keep the ball rolling. Any publicity that we can give this case to keep it in the publics eye and mind may help others find the courage to come forward and tell their stories as well as putting the WTB&TS clearly deeper into their own cesspool of shame. There is no such thing as bad publicity on this disgusting situation....emails, letters to the editors of smaller newspapers, radio talk shows, contacts with local TV station requesting they run the story. Just keep it going.
I too, wonder how the publishers will respond to the irrate hoseholder or two (hopefully more) they may meet.......being in total ignorance, they will find,is not bliss.

This is the best thread ever....it's 4:30 A.M. and I can't sleep (thinking about the Conti case, the Philadelhia ruling concerning church overseers being responsible for 'enabling' sex preditors to carry on, and the Sandusky guilty ruling; and what it may mean for the WTB&TS)----and so, as I am reading, I'm LOLing so hard tears make it impossible to read on, and I'm expecting my neighbors to call and tell me to quiet down the hilarity. Thanks for sharing y'alls sick senses of humor on this thread. The perfect start to my day. Really.

District conventions are "church holidays" in Germany ...
by processor inaccording to their overworked website, jehovahs witnesses in germany now have religious holidays (church holidays), such as the district conventions or the holy act of baptism:.
http://www.jehovaszeugende.d235.de/geschichte-und-gegenwart.4.0.html.
so, we should remember that holidays that tend to exalt ... a human organization are not in harmony with gods will, and true christians will not share in them.

Austute observation. Touche'. Nothing like hanging 'em with their own rope, which there seems to be plenty of, if one pays attention.

We had a C.O. years ago who called all the elders into a meeting after one assembly session and told us all that anyone carrying mics....even youngsters, preteen, teens, everyone had a wear a suit coat and slacks of the same color...no blazers, no sport coats. The same was true, he said, for anyone having meeting parts...suits only. At that moment I was wearing a leather blazer with black tweed slacks and on the way out of the meeting room our congregation overseer said, "well, what are you going to do about that leather blazer?" ....I replied "Get leather pants"....

Another Apr 15 2012 jewel
by d0rkyd00d ini have come back from a 10 year haitus with a renewed vigor, but i'm too short on time now to explain.
when i first posted here, i was a sophomore in high school....it's hilarious to look back at my 2002 posts and see how much i've changed and grown!
anywho, let me dig right in, from page 30..... "one way we can benefit from jehovahs loving direction is through personal study.

OMG....I remember reading that too.....I was 2 years married and wanted to pursue broadcast journalism. Tossed that dream with any others down the old flusher, and now I'm 62 and doing OK, but just by the grace of hardwork and conservative living. Wonder where I'd have been if I'd have gone to school and learned something actually useful......geezz.
