see pm.
I suggest all look up port arthur and see the mass of information there under various headings unless its been taken down.
It is a good bet that if this movie gets out the information will be removed.

what possibly could this be from a wt perspective.?? hide literature??, send us your $$, have 'secret' meetings??
Yes details please.What country was this please?I tried to get my uber wife interested in having a very modest store of canned food and other bits and pieces but because the idea didnt come from the kh there was no co-operation.
My idea was to have some stuff on hand if there was a disaster of some sort that cut off food supplies temporarily.
Her telling comment was obtuse "whos to say we will be here (home) when it (it..?) happens.

Why are they still so obsessed with Dr Spock?
by purrpurr incomment in today's wt, was about dr spock, and his book "that every parent in the world read" apparently (!).
if it wasn't for the wt's obsessions with the guy i would have no idea who he was, neither i suspect would the vast majority of the congregation.
there has been a mass of parenting books written since and yet they keep harking back to this one.. do they have no idea how out of touch this makes them seem?.

I remember hearing that 'not pick them up thing' from the [platform and an elder denied, denied, denied it all later I told him Im not silly nor a liar. He went scarlet.
Such a practice is another indicator why so many jw are emotional train wrecks.
But what can you expect from an org masters that have not had kids of their own.
and Spock never said half the things accredited to him; it was people in America and elsewhere reading his work and taking it to extremes.

The suffering and anguish that “NEW LIGHT’ has caused.
by I believe in overlapping inthe watchtower paints new light as a blessing from jehovah.
they have convinced the members that the way jehovah works is that he reveals information in small spurts of truth.
and little by little the path of all those following the instructions becomes clearer and clearer.

re the call up for war.
I was one who was conscripted for the Vietnam war. (Yes Australia was involved.) I was told by the elders to tell the court in applying for conscientious objection was MY idea alone and that alternative service was a non no.
So prison was going to be it.
There was no mention of the wts paying legal costs and from memory the elders never came near my suffering mum and dad. Dad had been to the WW2 and Mum was at home waiting the dreaded telegram and here they were now about to go through it all again thanks to the crawl up Americas arse Liberal party government.

Is the Governing Body under estimating the volume of those waking up?
by I believe in overlapping inwith all the scandals of the organization, it would .
be sound and logical from a human or strategic viewpoint,.
that they loosen the reins of control and be more honest with its members.

Australian and other world governments please note.
The GB have said that jw may be asked to do things distant from a human understanding and could suggest.. (!) every one sign over their own homes or 'super funds to the WT (Jehovah will look after you) and many will do so. The WT is about getting every dollar out of its people it can. It faces an aging membership and they have in the main no super (retirement saving) and can not donate any more than they have.The WT is capable of anything.
Anyone remember the scene where they wanted kids to start a money box so they could donate their ice cream money to the WT?
This will mean when that fountain has dried up a very large body of people then going to the various government depts or charities to house them.
Governments like Australia's.. wake up!
people here who have major disabilities now cant get a disability pension due to impossible to meet criteria and the government should be looking very hard at the WT and its $$ exporting business.
- remove the WT charity exemption of the WT
- stop the exporting of $ to the US head office
- lean on them to sign on to the National Redress Scheme.
- remove the WT charity exemption of the WT
