  I think it's a shame that people like Penton and Franz, and probably others with valuable knowledge and insite don't post for the same reason that Maximus is currently in absentia. Is there a lesson here? Or do people just prefer to throw things and have a good time?

  Food at Proper Time:Insider's Insight from Barbara

  barbara anderson's attention was called to the thread about the differences in policy of great britain and the us regarding child abuse; as you know she has championed a change in that policy.

  another post caught her eye, and she expressed the desire to share some thoughts with you.

  i'm delighted to share her first post, which i know you will find riveting.

  This is really funny. The Nethinim thing just didn't make any sense at all. If the writer is such an idiot why don't they retire him to pulling carrots or something he's qualified for?

  More Bethelite Table Crumbs Please!

  by MadApostate in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  in a controversial post in a separate thread, janh makes an extremely good observation that a certain former gb member will likely carry many, many wts "top secrets" to his grave, for whatever reasons he does not wish to divulge such.. then, on this db, former bethelites constantly exchange posts where their word choice is "cloaked" so that many of us who were not insiders are left guessing at meaning, people, etc.

  obviously, even individual members of this fraternity have unique experiences and insights.

  if such info is not disseminated, it is lost if that person dies naturally or in an accident.. would you folks please post more elaborately so that the rest of us can benefit from your knowledge and experience.. the statement that motivated this post made a silent reference to the author of the happiness book.

  when did we see you a stranger and receive you hospitably, or naked, and clothe you?

  he was talking about food, clothing, shelter and supplication to the least of the brothers.

  he could not be talking about anything else and here is why: could any human offer jesus spiritual food?

  Hey Maximus, how about sharing the 'scoop' with the rest of us. You wouldn't want us to feel left out would you?

  Old hippie Stafford's book is well worth reading, his approach is completely different than the Organization's. The 2nd release has a lot more material that the first and includes material regarding NWT translation. Stafford waffles a little on one translation issue but for the most part is pretty straight forward.

  Hey Richie, I've never heard of 'anyone' being disfellowshipped because they went to the police. I'd be interested in knowing if anyone has ever heard of such a thing. I suspect not.

  Does the WTBTS surf here? Question ANSWERED!

  by biblexaminer in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  many have pondered the question.... "does the watchtower bible and tract society read what they themselves have labeled "apostate", whether it be books, or web sites?

  the answer to this question could be verified by a future "whistleblower", who perhaps worked in the watchtower's basement, but there is already enough proof for a definitive answer.. we will examine the question regarding the watchtower's "surfing habits" by means of proof as found in the awake of august 8, 2001. this article is currently being "placed" (sold) from door to door this month.

  i know, i 'sold' some.. on page 7 we find these paragraphs beneath a picture of a miserable looking guy surfing the inet in ramshackle surroundings... (the watchtower's basement no doubt).

  I think you're making an enormous leap. The kind of information cited is readily available without actually surfing yourself.
