Awake! Magazine April 22 1970
by pale.emperor inwas doing some research this evening and i think ive found possibly the most damaging awake magazine issue the jw's could have printed.
april 22nd 1970. you can download the entire 1970 volume here: http://da-ip.getmyip.com:8080/pdf/old%20publications/?sort=d.
in this issue, the watchtower calls other religions on their hypocrisy for changing doctrine, upbeat music in their services, the clergy meddling in worldly affairs (un anyone?

Self Delusion
by Coded Logic inonce upon a time there was a "kiai master" who trained his students how to knock people over - no touch - with purely the power of his chi.
how he came to think he actually had telekinetic powers - or how his students became accomplices in his self delusion - i have no idea.
but he was so convinced he could actually do these things he issued a challenge and put up $5,000 for any martial artist who could beat him.

Just as your C.O.'s attitude proves, J.W.'s have been programmed to refuse to be challenged on anything which their "faithful slave" has taught them is [current] "truth." Their justification is "don't cast your pearls before swine." Sadly, they haven't examined the "pearls" to discover that many of them are man-made.
The demi-gods in Brooklyn have the same mentality as any despotic dictator, past or present - they demand total loyalty & obedience from the masses and will not hesitate to eradicate anyone who questions their authoritarianism.

"God does not desire any to be destroyed "
by stuckinarut2 inso if that quote from the bible is correct, for every year that goes by another couple of million people will need to be destroyed.
it just doesn't make sense right?

According to this source - http://www.worldometers.info/world-population/ - over 103 million births have taken place worldwide in 2016 so far.
In J.W.'s minds, if only 1% of their parents became J.W.'s, then over 100 million would be destroyed if their org's (false) prophecies came true.

Perhaps "hoisting the elders with their own petard" will do the trick; quote Matthew 18:15-17 -
"Moreover, if your brother commits a sin, go and reveal his fault between you and him alone. If he listens to you, you have gained your brother. 16 But if he does not listen, take along with you one or two more, so that on the testimony of two or three witnesses every matter may be established. 17 If he does not listen to them, speak to the congregation. If he does not listen even to the congregation, let him be to you just as a man of the nations and as a tax collector".
Ask them why they are going beyond what is written by listening to an accusation from one witness - before that witness has approached you - and preventing that "witness" from applying Jesus' precise directions concerning a sinner, as well as denying you the opportunity to discuss the matter with your accuser.
Inform them that you will consult with a lawyer, after which you will report the elders' actions to the Branch Office Service Department, to establish by whose authority can the elders try to bypass the scriptural directions.

I stand corrected and defer to your alertness. I should have said "many already share a hall and the few that don't, appear to be getting moved into other K.H.'s." New light provided.
Thanks for highlighting the error.

Perverting, twisting and bending scriptures in order to "prove" their dogmas, pretty well covers Matthew 12:31,32 IMHO. Their Pharisaical-type attitudes, treatment, and practices towards the "flock" are now so blatantly obvious.

Hi darkspilver - if you click on JWdotOrg - About Us - Meetings - Find a Location Near You - Location to Search Near, you can find all of the K.H.'s which serves only one congregation - at the moment!
Perhaps some/all of those congregations being relocated on January 1st 2017 were in that group.

(I've only highlighted a couple) In all probability, their own K.H. is/has been sold. Here is a list of London K.H.'s still in existence. A few have 3 or 4 congregations using them. Many have only one.
It will be interesting to see in 12-18 months which ones have been sacrificed for filthy lucre. Central London property prices are too good for the org to ignore!

Update: Got my Judicial Committee cancelled
by Sanchy inoriginal thread here.
update: so, after the meeting i had with elders a few weeks ago as outlined in my original thread, they met as a body and once again called to tell me that after considering my case they still thought a judicial committee should be held against me and asked to be there "thursday at 7:30".
all of this, i remind you, because of posting coc on facebook.

Well done Sanchy.
The wolves hate it when someone proves that they've "gone beyond what is written" - in their own "Sacrifice the Flock of God" manual!

ACTIVISM strategies
by TerryWalstrom inwith the proliferation of social media, more people have been reached by the watchtower organization than ever before in history.
it sure took them long enough!.
at the same time, anti-jw activism has caught fire to counterbalance the propaganda.. there are all sorts of activists operating "out there" using books, videos, podcasts, facebook, and incidental un-witnessing to puncture and perforate the false message and counterfeit codswallop of the governing body.. __________.

Good topic.
Al lot more could/should be done to rip off the veneer of the WTBTS/JW cult and expose its lies and corruptions.
Personally I feel that the priorities are to try and hit the org financially as well as to warn potential converts of the very real risks they face by becoming a J.W.
Since the org wallows in its charitable status based on its "Bible education" work & free literature, perhaps their qualifications for charity status should be revoked due to the fact that their raison d'être is nothing to do with charity, and everything to do with self-promotion and self-enlargement - both financially and in converts.
In the UK, the government can be obliged to debate a topic in parliament if 100,000 signatories sign up to an e-petition. https://www.gov.uk/petition-government
Separately, complaints/questions could be submitted to the UK Charities Commission to highlight the glaring absence of charity work by an organization which has tax-free status, receives taxpayers' money via gift-aid, and which will avoid paying a fortune in taxes when it sells off it Branch Office properties in London - as well as any multi-million pound London Kingdom Halls which almost certainly will be "consolidated." (include all the other UK K.H.'s which will be sold off)
Individually we can help individual ex/J.W.'s - but to deal with the org, we need the services of an "Equaliser."
