jw.org is still up at the moment.

your personal invitation.

would you like to have a personal home bible study and increase your knowledge of the bible?.

Introducing Mrs Cedars...

i just thought you should know that mrs cedars has finally taken the plunge and joined the forum.

she was able to log on for the first time yesterday.. though we both "awakened" at different stages, mrs cedars was very supportive and non-judgmental when i first began exploring my beliefs from a critical standpoint.

she is currently in the process of reading crisis of conscience and aquainting herself with some of the facts of witness history that were hitherto unknown.

Welcome Mrs. Cedars!

How Do You Think The Watchtower IT Department Is Responding To The Anonymous Threat?

by DT in

jw
friends

so anonymous has declared its intentions to utterly destroy the watchtower society.

this will likely include attacking the official websites and trying to obtain the database of 23,000+ pedophiles in the organization.. i have never served at bethel so i would appreciate the input of those who have.

do you think they are taking this threat seriously?.

When I was in bethel circa 2000-5, I was not in IT by any means, but for my job I had to use a computer, so we had a IS (information service) contact in our office. What a fucktard that guy was. He would just get on your computer and change settings that were user defined to his preference even though he didnt need to. He would take forever to do the simplest things and pretty much made things worse most of the time. He got promoted to pioneer a few years ago.

Somwhere around 2003, they brought in guys from the british branch (or maybe South Africa? I can't remember) who actually had a clue, and they had made a program that could unify all the various departments (Service, Accounting, Transportation, Shipping, Bethel Office) and it was set up to where each user only could access what they needed to for their job. Well, of course, when you launch a new program there is a learning curve and glitches. Well, one of my glitches was that I could do a "publisher lookup" and it had a LOT of info on people, like a scary amount. As far as I remember, this was only kept on people who were ever pioneers, elders, servants, bethelites, or such. Did I say only?

name, birthdate, batism date, positions they serve in, disfellowshiped, EVER been disfellowshiped,what halls they have been in, years of full time service, annointed or other sheep and so on. I was kinda shocked. It went way back too, I looked up dead people and people df'd a long time ago and they were still there.

Anonymous Message to Watchtower

by jwleaks in

hello citizens of the world.

we are anonymous.. dear brothers and sisters,.

puffthedragon

I agree that just because someone is on the WT/pedo list, does not automatically mean they are guilty. Heck, if a girl crashes at a guys house and sleeps on the couch, some elders will take that as proof they slept together if someone (ok 2 ppl) saw her car there all night. And they could be df'd. WT logic is just plain bonkers.

That said, I think it would be funny if all offical jw sites were redirected to jwfacts or silentlambs somehow.

Official link of the Agreement between the Watchtower and Bulgaria

by TheScientist in

hello folks,.

fortunately, i'm able to have a frank conversation with my brother and he, who was already showing some doubts about the organization, got visibly upset when he saw the videos about bulgaria and onu ... .

especially about the bulgaria case, he said that perhaps the document could not be authentic, but invented .. i was speechless, because although i'm sure, i never found any official evidence unless the note published in the jw-media or others "apostate" sites.. finally, after searching, i found the official link of the decision of the european court of human rights in bulgaria case, where the watchtower clearly says not to apply any form of control or sanction for members who opt to choose medical treatment contrary to the doctrines of jehovah's witnesses in order to obtain legal recognition as a religion in the country (prostituting like babylon the great).. linkfrom the official websiteof the european courtof human rights bellow:.

skeeter family love ice hockey.

we go to public skating sessions to stretch our legs.

one of the nearby skating rinks is called germain arena.

puffthedragon

Wow I bet you shook them up some. Maybe you gave them something to think about for later. Im sure during the rest of the program they reflected on it some.
