BTW-- Last I heard the Bible is God's message to MANKIND!! They are so full of themselves! The word organization is not even found in the Bible, how dare they make such a statment! Nauseating, just plain nauseating!

i remember going out in service using the truth book .
" the truth that leads to everlasting life".
in its final couple of years, i remember how the catholic church's attempts to control what people read was part of our presentation.

Well said Terry!!
Q
i was doing an image search on google and found a link to a website that appears to fully support the watchtower org.
[ http://www.jehovah-god.org/ ] .
interesting thing to me is the pictures that it shows, some i have never seen in offical literature, yet they look like they couldve have been ones made but not used, or something i dont know.. and others that resemble images from books such as the revelation book... (the city, pearls etc).
What a nut job!!
Q
raises hand.
i thank auldsoul/blodie for helping me out...they stick out in my mind when i first lurked on jwd.
wac - bethelite for 10 years and elder for 1.
Although I am only out mentally and emotionally for now because of family issues. I do believe that were it not for the internet I would have continued to believe that the problem was ME, not the GB. I thank JWD and Freeminds for truly giving me my freedom from the evil throngs of a man made organization which is so far removed from true christianity there is NO hope of it ever coming close to truly "following the Christ", it is hopeless! Thanks again to JWD and Freeminds!!
Q
he commented on another site:.
oh, i must mention: when barbara and rud publish, they will shake the foundations of the watchtower society, and i will have to rewrite many parts of apocalypse delayed to fit with the newly revealed information.
no one knows the dry rot that has existed in that organization as do they.
I hope they have a very strong marketing campaign involving getting on the talk show circuit. Mass media exposure will not make the Watchtower crumble completely, but it sure will have a huge impact!
Q
i'll start with my congregation....... there have been about 7 disfellowshippings in my congregation alone within the last year.
over half the congo is inactive and many more are irregular pubs.
young people in the congo are dropping like flies.
Can you give us any hints Mr. Kim? I was sooooo disappointed about the lack of media coverage on the abuse settlements, what a wasted opportunity for mass media coverage regarding probably the "dirtiest little secret" about this cult. Very disappointing!!
Q
have you heard about a letter for all congregations announced next new change in wts politics?.
in letter is information that the time for the public talk will be reduced to 30 minutes.. does anyone have a copy?
.
When you consider that over the past few years the lengths of talks at the DCs have been reduced. There are more 20 minute talks and a few 10 minute talks in the symposiums. I would not be surprised if they did cut the Public Talk to 30min. I have not seen any letter stating this change yet.
Q
i'm thinking this morning at the enormous effort required to leave the witnesses.
that you all found your way here is amazing.
you are a select group of strong people, who will not allow life or any organization to knock you down.
What a wonderfully put homage!! Thank you for your words of encouragement!
Q
i have been inspired by the what do the jwd posters look like thread....my avatar picture is jude law, he's my dream guy..... so who's your heart throb?.
Sela Ward
ok i got to thinking, the elders cover up and do not report allegations of child molestation and if they know of a known molester amongst them they do not warn the cong, correct me if i am wrong but isn't that a crime?
sexual offenders are supposed to stay away from areas were child ren congregate, such as a playground, school, library etc.... jessica lunsfords neighbor was charged with harbouring a pedo, (he was not registered at her home) isn't that the same thing the elders are doing?.
anyone care to enlighten me?.
That's a good question for Kimberly Norris "Stillconcerned" maybe she can inform us?
