Theocracy v. Theocrazy

Theocracy is what you get when God rules.

Theocrazy is what you get when men rule while claiming they rule for God.

Additional BOE Letter: Please Be Advised that Further Direction Will Soon be Sent to the Bodies of Elders...

by TTATTelder in

dear brothers:.

we are writing as a follow-up to the letters dated january 24, 2014, and march 29, 2014,. to all congregations regarding the adjustments now underway to accelerate construction of king-.

dom halls and assembly halls.. .

The Watchtower magazine May 1, 1965, page 278

"To pressure members of a congregation in a gentle way to contribute by resorting to devices without Scriptural precedent or support, such as passing a collection plate in front of them or . . . soliciting pledges, is to admit a weakness. There is something wrong. There is a lack. A lack of what? A lack of appreciation. No such coaxing or pressuring devices are needed where there is genuine appreciation. Could this lack of appreciation be related to the kind of spiritual food offered to the people."

JW Leaks has recently published an FAQ page (Frequently Asked Questions) on their website so as to answer some of the inquiries and questions received via email.

www.jwleaks.org/faq

Frequently Asked Questions include:

Is JW Leaks an apostate web site?

Who are you?

Do you unlawfully publish copyright material from Jehovah's Witnesses or the Watch Tower Society?

Can I send documents or links on relevant information to JW Leaks?

Has the Watch Tower Society or Jehovah's Witnesses ever commenced legal action against JW Leaks? (see below)

.....

HAS THE WATCH TOWER SOCIETY OR JEHOVAH’S WITNESSES EVER COMMENCED LEGAL ACTION AGAINST JW LEAKS?

Yes. For example, Over the past 12 months, attorneys for the Watch Tower Society and Jehovah’s Witnesses have filed numerous ‘alleged’ copyright infringements against JW Leaks, on the basis of links we have published on our web site. However such claims are baseless under law.

Click below to download a sample of an ‘alleged’ copyright claim filed against JW Leaks by Watch Tower Society and Jehovah’s Witnesses under the DMCA laws.

Watchtower v JW Leaks

The First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution says that “Congress shall make no law … abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble…” The U.S. government (and states, under the Fourteenth Amendment) must meet a high level of scrutiny before restricting speech. It is for this reason the server for JW Leaks is located in California.

A link, or hyperlink, refers to and describes the location of another internet resource. The act of linking to other web sites may be likened to protected “assembly” or association with those sites.

Danielle Colby went from Jehovah's Witnesses to burlesque dancer to vintage decor goddess

Dallas News | by Joy Tipping

January 30, 2014

You might think it’d be a monumental leap from a Jehovah’s Witnesses girlhood to a life of burlesque dancing, roller-derby team ownership, fashion design and reality show stardom.

Not so, says Danielle Colby of the History Channel’ s hit show American Pickers. “I beg to differ with you on that,” she says with a laugh, by phone from her home in Chicago. “All of my friends who left the faith became strippers, just about every one of them. They saved money and paid for college and got great jobs.”

...She grew up in Iowa, the daughter of “good parents who had a very liberal lifestyle, they were hippies. … Then they became Jehovah’s Witnesses, in a drug-induced haze or whatever,” she says, “and we grew up in this very strict, religious atmosphere where we were going to church three times a week, not including field service where we went out and knocked on people’s doors.”
