  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  may have been noted already.

  i didnt find the comments on this wt looking back.

  it struck me funny they would comment on anyone making rules; if anyone knows how to make rules it is wt.

  First off a big thankyou for putting this together.

  A very disturbing and most useful collection of information. This is a doc that all here will print and pass on to those whose professional life involves kids.

  so let me get this straight.

  even though law enforcement has their hands full with illegal drugs and guns on the street, child traffickers, dangerous gangs and such.

  they are going to now pool all their resources to confiscate bibles and religious literature?!

  Unless paper is water proofed once buried it will quickly rot.

  I wonder what message the magazines from 1956 would have if dug up today, some very very old light?

  Yes, you are quite correct the program was only a snapshot but must have been an 'eye-opener' for many who watched it.

  re clergy privilege etc.

  The wt here in Australia tried to pull that one on at the CARC and got told by the justice they cant have it both ways . I hope the lawyers in Montana for the victims have been made aware of this.

  Does Today’s Comedy Offend You?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  there was a time we could laugh about mindless silly things.

  someone using an ethnic accent, making fun of their own race, making fun of someone’s intelligent, etc.

  we could laugh without feeling constantly offended , upset or disturbed.

  The convener Jennie Brockie missed a gold opportunity to ask the jw there the one in pink just why she insists on shunning her sister.

  Their father said a few times his family was broken but he didnt have the ability (quote: the psychology") to make it well again. and why? was this because all the years of wt 'culture' meant he had no mental or learned ability in interpersonal skills? That he was as we all have been dissuaded from going to a counsellor?.

  This family said several times they cant get together as the fight much of the time. The nature of those fights like what about would have been in context and revealing.

  also, the one attending the kh said and this was not taken up, that she always got (gossip) told by other sisters of the the doings of her mother.
  

  But these insights aside it was a clear expose of the family wrecking the wt indulges in.

  Much credit must be given to the people involved who stepped into the spotlight with their 'demons'.

  oh and best I recall the dfd started because one lady was "pecking" (kissing.?) an elders son. That is it.

  I believe that such speech from the wt is just saying how important they are.

  Persecution? It would not be beyond the wt to start an antisocial program of some sort to invoke the wrath of governments in one country or more in order to bring action against jw.

  Wt had the funds and ability to repatriate the jw out of Nazi occupied lands to the US prior to the US entering the world war but it did not. The wt wanted martyrs.

  I am on my third reading of the AV of the bible and do not recall the 'eyeball' quote. Perhaps it is in the wt bible only.yes/no?
