President Bush

by Rado Vleugel in

jw
friends

in the netherlands and many other european countries president bush of the united states of america is considered as a man with low intellectual capabilities and a narrow minded unilateral view on the rest of the world who uses one-liners in stead of founded argumentation.

but in the us he is seen by most americans as a wise and great statesman, a marvellous leader in difficult times.. i am interested how jws in congregations from different countries look at president bush although they usually dont openly have an opinion about politicians.

opinions from ex-jws are of course also welcome.. rado vleugel.

Teejay: *** Been to the U.S. lately, Rado or read any American newspapers?*** It has been several years ago I visited the US. I have read some Amarican Newspapers lately, and I watch CNN daily.
*** Not all 280 million Americans think alike.***
Sorry it sounded as a generalisation. I said by most not by all Americans.

Francois: *** why do you feel qualified to judge our leaders*** It was just an observation, not a judgement.

Amazing: *** He went to Yale, I believe and did well ...*** I was aware of the fact he visited Yale University. I even heard, but am not sure, that he is the President with the highest education.

To all: Sorry if I offended anyone in connection with the 9-11 events.

as an ex-jw its sometimes difficult to provide neutral information on jehovahs witnesses and the watchtower society.

on the internet there is a bulk of information available provided by former members and religious organizations that are anti-jw.

on my site i have also many articles that are critical towards the jws.

Rado Vleugel

Kent & SF,

Thanks a lot for your kind words.

If you have problems with that, just skip my postings…
Every new posting is accompanied by the name of the poster. So it isn’t difficult to skip my postings.

BTW
On discussion boards I participate also in normal discussions instead of only talking about my site.

As an ex-JW it’s sometimes difficult to provide neutral information on Jehovah’s Witnesses and the Watchtower Society. On the internet there is a bulk of information available provided by former members and religious organizations that are anti-JW.

On my site I have also many articles that are critical towards the JW’s. Information that is useful for Scientific Researchers and Students is hard to find. That’s why I have added a new Category: ***Scientific Research***

In this category you’ll find articles that have been written by Scientific Researchers like Social Scientists and Scholars of Religious Studies. It includes also an Bibliography with an exhaustive list of Publications on Jehovah's Witnesses written by Social Scientists, Scholars of Religious Studies, Physicians and (ex-) Jehovah's Witnesses.

hey everybody, i'm a christian, but i'm not a jehovah's witness and i recently made friends with one, i know little to nothing about this religion and i would like to know more, can anyone help me out by way of how it is different from say, an evangelical free christian church?

and what sort of theology and doctrine jw's go by and such, i'd really appreciate it, thank you

Rado Vleugel

Hi Newbe,

On my site you’ll find a lot of general info on JW’s. For a ‘Christian touch’ you can browse the link-section where you’ll find a lot of sites that are run by Christian webmasters.

My visit to WT official site

by larc in

englishman has a thread about the generation idea and the apostates - most interesting.

after reading this, it occured to me it would be interesting to go to the official watchtower internet site and use there search function on different words and see what they had to say.

here is what i found out.. first of all, they do not show complete articles.

Rado Vleugel

An alternate way to search the watchtower.org site is to use Google advanced search. This example will help you: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&as_qdr=all&q=generation+1914+site%3Awatchtower.org&btnG=Google+Search
N
ote the second listing…

WTS visits Apostate Website! (continuation)

wts visits apostate website!

(continuation).

(i move this discussion to the top of this board because its already been buried under the other posts.

Dear Dungbeetle,
***Do you care more about sensationalizing your website than you do about people like ME who are still 'inside'?***
Sorry that I gave that impression. I must confess that it is not the most serious and in-depth article you can find on my site. My intention is to provide serious and balanced information about the WTS and JW’s, not to make my website as sensational as possible, and not at all to harm people like you who are still inside the Org.
I started this thread again because Kent wrote that he wouldn’t publish such log-files as I did. That surprised me a little because he is known for publishing articles that are most times (with all respect for him and his hard work –this is not critique but an observation) written in plain language while I am more moderate in my expressions. After reading his comments I asked myself: Is it ethical to publish log files like I have done to disclose the Watchtower’s tactics?
