  British Holocaust Memorial

  by sapo in

  the british holocaust memorial day is today, and although the national event is tonight (most likely started), there are local events that have been taking place and will continue through february.

  i noticed the jws have a couple of events registered on the local events pagenot sure if they will be present at the national event.

  i dont see any thing wrong with this, but the witnesses steer clear of all other national or personal observances.. no birthdays, mothers day, fathers day celebrations.

  Putting the WTS's UN Affiliation In Perspective!!!

  by MadApostate in

  after following jalward's and other's posts over the past week or so regarding how the borganization views the wts's previous un affiliation, i thought it would meaningful to consider how joe average elder in mayberry, usa perceives the congregation's responsibility to not only to keep entirely free of governmental connections, but even how far a local boe would go to avoid even an appearance of such.. thus, i pose the following hypothetical, and invite readers to give their opinion as to how they think mayberry's boe would react to receiving this letter from their local mayor:.

  Nothing has changed

  by Norm in

  having read some of the posts in the military tribunal thread make me wonder about the perspective of the american population in general.

  it seems to be more egocentric then ever.

  the understandable outrage and indignation caused by the despicable and horrible acts on 9/11 seem to have caused little or no global perspective.

  Watchtower Propaganda

  by JosephAlward in

  2. friends

  many have argued that articles in awake!

  in recent years show that watchtower was letting itself be told what do by the purple beast, namely, promote the united nations in its writings.

  i can understand how many might quickly find support for this claim, for there are, indeed, many articles in awake!

  Some thoughts on the "library card" d...

  by Trevor Scott in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  with its "library card" defense, the wts tries very hard to minimize the significance of their relationship with the un.

  according to the wts, this was actually a very trivial association, analogous to obtaining a library card - something very non-political, and something most of their members will relate to (as library card holders) and view as quite innocuous.

  most jws will have no difficulty dismissing this completely out of hand.. also, without actually lying about it, the wts implies that the "criteria for association" changed.
