  the usa are using all the high technology from stealth bombers to satalite guidance systems, that they can muster, in an effort to blow bin laden and his mob into oblivion.. yet on all the main newsbroadcasts, what do we see?.

  we see bin laden, giving interviews to the press!!!.

  Radar,

  Just a guess.

  Do you think the Talaban could be doing the interviews and filming secretly then turning the tape over to the news?

  If the press does know where he is you would think they would want to collect the reward.

  MR Moe,

  I'm sorry you are having to deal with this kind of anxiety!
  WE all deal with it but it's always worse when it's close to home.

  Even if any or all of these turn out to be false alarms it doesn't take away the fear that is real no matter what.

  Is the UN 'scandal' the big one ?

  by Simon in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  looking at the stats, there are well over 14,000 views of the thread about the un.

  the next 'most read' thread is around 9,500 so it is clearly a burning issue.. i wonder if the involvement with the un is the biggest threat to the wts?.

  they are getting badly burnt because of their covering up child abuse and www.silentlambs.org is doing a great job of raising the profile of this but even so, i can see the 'mental defense mechanism' of many jws excusing this as 'individuals imperfection'.. they cannot excuse the gb getting in bed with the un.

  Luv Dubs,
  Your right this is going to be interesting.
  The WT is between a rock and a hard place on this one.

  In any response they will have to try to give an answer to a mixed audience, the rank and file,the public and the UN.
  I'm sure hey would like to make up something for eaach of these but they risk being exposed yet again if they do.They may do this but it will be very dangerous for them.

  First Reaction To My UN letters

  by Ranchette in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  my husband called his cousin this morning and the first thing the cousin said to my husband was something like, are you aware that your wife sent us some information that was very disturbing to us?.

  my husband let him know that he did not know i was sending out those letters but he had since done research on the info and found that i was correct.. the cousin asked my husband if he was aware that i could be in trouble for a letter like that.

  my husband informed him again that i was telling the truth and he had called the un himself to verify.. the cousin said he would call the society to see if this is true but.

  Robdar,
  Thanks for pointing that out!
  I did not make up the spores on key board report.It was on Cnn.
  If I repeat what I heard and where I heard it thats exactly what I heard!
  If the news changes as more facts come in that doesn't hurt my credibility.Just because I said I heard it on the news doesn't mean that I expect every one to accept it.If your interested turn on the news and see how the live news reports develop.
  I know people are scared. I do not try to make it worse.

  Simon,
  I don’t know how it could get much bigger than this but every time I think that something else happens that seems more shocking than the last.
  Each issue has helped some to see through this org.
  I just don’t know if anything will help the majority though.
  I believe with all my heart that the few are worth our effort.
  However now that I know WT does not have backing and special protection from God I think any thing is possible!
