  LETTER READ TONIGHT

  by biblexaminer in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  well, the wts has directed all elders in canada to read a letter concerning the child abuse issue.

  it is the same whitewash as read in the us a while back when dateline aired.

  it seems that on the 'eve of destruction' (ie bbc and panorama) the wts has decided to read a letter that was obviously penned weeks ago.

  CO, DO and other at the top "know better".

  Actually they always think they are in such a position because they are smarter, more spiritual, honest etc etc.

  For a couple of decades they have been able to "know better" .Many even aproved DF "trouble makers" and the like. Aprroved actions related to 'silentlambs' and so on.

  Many did not do what they had to do, stand for the truth and justice. Instead of protecting a corporation.

  A true almighty/powerfull GOD does not need anyone or corporation to help her/him/it keep his name clean by abusing, denying the rights of silentlambs or lying, DF anyone with question etc etc.

  Now they see clearly the handwritting on the wall but feel it is too late.

  Lambs have the right to be informed about misleading "pastors". They are the true victims.

  Victms of Victms is no longer an excuse for the hi ranking leaders.

  HS,

  On 12/1995 a prominet ex-DO "old timer" and top 'Branch' offical

  Told me: "I have come to the conclusion that nobody knows anything", also implying that nobdoy was in control..

  That was after our conversation about the "generation" to which he also said: "this is just the begining" "new jw dont know" the implications etc. He referred

  He referred to F. Franz as the "chronologist", in no positive manner.

  WHAT ARE THEY WAITING FOR?

  Most of them know better, but find themselves in "dead-end", specially economically, that is why...

  I mean i try put myself in their shoes. Heck pounding the pavement after 40 or so years of service!!!

  It is terrifying, "faith" does not count, not few some become cynical or think "take what you can".

  R. Franz managed, and rightly so, to "apply" his knowledge. Acomplishing a dual purpose...

  NEARLY 17 YEAR OLD BOY IS MINISTERIAL SERVANT

  by minimus in

  2. friends

  things must be getting pretty desperate.

  i just heard some wonderful news of another boy being appointed a ministerial servant.

  the comment was that even though he is young, he is very mature.another person, speaking of a different boy being appointed said that he had the added advantage of being home schooled and that really helped him to mature.

  "de tocqueville described this elite strain of thought quite well in democracy in america, where he characterized american law as an "occult science" that only those trained in the priesthood could understand.

  de tocqueville contrasted obscure american law with the law of france, where codification made law accessible to everyone.

  Amazing,

  I just made a quotation to originate the topic and I dont have time to elaorate righ now...

  But here is a silly analogy: I don't think an ORDINARY citizen needs to call an engineer to be able to USE her vcr or cd player.

  I am surprised we dont need a lawyer to open a bank account or apply for a drivers license, or do we?

  Now within the context of the purpose for this forum,

  (WT and France) Just about one of the very few countries "legallyl" questioning WT activites.

  Finally and relative to other sectors, USA justice system is too far from being as "friendly usable" as it can be. It many cases it defeats its purpose, at the very least it makes it very difficult.

  It is a vicious cycle lawyers are in charge everywhere, they make the rules. Does it sound familiar to a WT dilemma?

  "American Law is well codified"

  Yes, including lots of jargon, illogic logic (unneccesary) and so on... x law will apply IF, OR, AND, THEN... many get shafted.

  De Tocqueville contrasted obscure American law with the law of France, where codification made law accessible to everyone.

  On the other hand, Jefferson and Andrew Jackson are good examples of important American figures who thought that law should be accessible to ordinary persons, without need for priest-like interpreters of the occult."

  just so i don't miss anybody who is interested.... my results from the ekg and the echogram showed a severe leak in a heart valve.

  i am going for an angiogram on the 15th but the cardiologist says the liklihood is great that i will need open heart surgery.

  rare for a 30 year old but if necessary, it is necessary.. no word yet on the results of the blood work for liver enzymes and hepatitis.

  concerned about more than a few very vocal poster posting uncommon statements and then getting sick, or find out they were sick. Or getting involve in a delicate personal sitiation.

  I have noticed the same outside the forum...

  Is WT related issues affecting health?

  What do you all have to say, do you see a connection?

  there was a middle-aged woman in our kingdom hall who was a long time pioneer.

  she was a very warm and loving woman and so when she announced her plans for a family vacation one year some of us got together and took up a little collection so that she would have some extra money to spend.

  after all, she was working hard for jehovah and werent we supposed to show our appreciation?.

  I had DO and CO stealing from me... GB did not do anything. the last straw for me.

  After many years being poor, some full time "sevants" become desesperate (and greedy). Having invested their live for the WT and knowing fully well that WT is no going to back them up economically in an emrgency.

  then came Bill Gates and designed a horizontal tower with a lot of WINDOWS.

  God did not like it and send the USA gov. to chase him and accusing him of being another Nenrod. So far he has been able to NETSCAPE, not being a NAVIGATOR but an EXPLORER.

  Anyway, you all thank him for allowing you to arrive here.through one of the WINDOWS.

  God and USA Justice Dept is loosing this one.
