given the recent faked emails 'from' silentlambs and other emails that have been faked to come from me and others, perhaps it's time to tighten up our communications.. i suggest that anyone giving out official information sign their emails with a secure certificate that can verify that it is authentic.. either that, or post all announcements that are sent by email on a website as well which can be checked to see if an email is for real.. any thoughts ?
Simon,
This is a really good site and we (Kaytee and me) are getting quite addicted to it. We agree with you that some emails can be so disruptive and spoil things for everyone. We are quite new to using computers and therefore can't contribute with any technical answers but we can say how grateful we are to you Simon for all of the hard work that you do.

Dear Barbara & Joe,
It's so good to know that there are people with principles. We hope and pray that all goes well and the truth will win. We were amazed at the long list of defendants, you sure have done your homework on this one!
We will be following this case with great interest and eagerness.
Thank you for revealing these matters to us all. Love from Twink & Kaytee

in nearly every publication lately, the overpowering message to the faithful is to just listen to god's organization.
when circuit overseers give their talks, the theme is just listen to what we say.
every study article contains the same not so subtle message : you better listen because if you don't you're weak or complaining or worse yet, an apostate.the mind control is so obvious!

We heard today that a sister ( in the org all of her life) answered in the WT, that the Panorama programme on paedophilia was all lies and that we don't have that sort of thing in "the truth".
We are all aware of an elder (paedophile) in Rugby, England. who was sentenced and told by the judge that he was an arch-hypocrite - was the judge a liar as well !
We can truly say that the Organisation are Masters at brainwashing, Dehydrating individuals of all true bible knowledge, principles and personality. Are we becoming like the nazis from the second world war, who said they were acting under orders.
We are all going to be personally answerable to God one day.

as a youngster raised in the "truth", i had my questions.
but anytime you ask a question that is unanswerable, you are told to just wait on jehovah.
as time passes, i believe that we store up a number of unanswerable questions that forces one to eventually think about everything.
For many years I had made allowances for imperfections, and always assuming that the problems were on a local level, but the real eye-opener was the UN involvement, I just could not believe it - and of course that led on to discovering all the other scandals.
Thanks mainly to this site and the comments from all who post on here.
okay, firstly appologies for it taking me, like a million years to actually get back to you good people.. i was sent a letter back and guess what... standard reply was issued!.
i don't have a scanner (it blew up ages ago!
) but the main body of the letter was the same as i've seen on other threads here.
Good post Bosho,
I think that you may have a long wait for a response from the WT. We had two elders visit us one month ago, and we presented them with all of the evidence (a whole file full) and gave them copies to take away with them - Re: UN involvement, paedophilia, shares in war equipment, failed prophecies etc. We even had the original letter and envelope with the UN postmark, where the UN confirmed that the WT had registered as an NGO with them. They couldn't say it was lies made up on the internet. Well, we are still awaiting some explanation from them, we also wrote to the London Bethel with the same points ages ago, but still haven't had any response and we really don't think that a reply with ever come from them.

Thanks for posting the article, it's very interesting indeed. I have read three of Graham Hancock's books and they certainly give you something to think about ! The links showing the NASA satellite photos are good too.
we have a meeting tonight with 2 elders, we are unable to find the wt 15 june 2000 on the subject of bovine blood as a substitute.
is anyone out there who could be kind enough to scan the page and post it on this forum, for me.
thanking you .
Many, many thanks for responding so quickly and for the timely info, I am just printing it out now, ready for tonight.
It's very much appreciated.

i have heard that the wt are offering other excuses other than wanting a libary czard.
does anyone know of any, and where if so can i get the information.
Nassau - I think that I have the some problem as The Old Hippy, the two blanks (your postings re: library cards) he refers to, appear as blanks also on my computer. Was this intentional or do I need to adjust my settings on the computer. ?

Welcome No Apologies !
JT completely summed up all that we feel.
We were onlookers for quite a while, and then eventually joined in the comments on this board. We could equate with much that we read with our experiences in the organisation.
After 30 years in the organisation, we thought that the problems were just at congregation level with a few bad elders, until reading the posts here and also Ray Franz books - we then realised that it was endemic throughout.
If you speak to other brothers and sisters and they take no notice, don't be too disappointed, we have had this response too.
In our congregation there were four elders that we spoke to about the UN involvement, but nothing came of it. They feel it's far more important to wear the right coloured shirt and socks.!!
