  My thanks too LMsA and Raymond Frantz - I saw links to his early surveys on this site. Re the info he put out I felt something was wrong. I couldn't work out what exactly.

  Incidentally if he is trying to blame WT for his wrong doing, I know from way back that lhere has been an arguement used by those want to legalise child abuse. It is very stupid and in plain language reads like this: -

  Child abusers have often been abused as children themselves. They have been groomed, in some cases by their families. When they come of age, they carry out acts of child abuse on younger ones. If caught and placed on the pedophile register, they feel stigmatized. Being stigmatized make them carry out acts of child abuse. Therefore legalise child abuse so that they don't feel stigmatized.

  Child abuse problem gone? No, but you don't get it in the crime stats. Imagine if they did the same with fraud or some other crimes. Gradually all the crime stats would go down.

  There's the true God and false gods. Your stomach can be a god. If you are a big, fat, greedy pig that could be the name of your religion rather than a description of yourself.

  (Philippians 3:19) . . .and their finish is destruction, and their god is their belly. . .
  

  You may identify as 'atheist' but you'd still believe your stomach existed.

  If I remember correctly, in America Christianity is not defined as a religion. I think it is described as a way of life. Another term for 'way of life' is 'diet'. So Christians are all on a diet.

  Helpful Video with Fact Citations

  this video may be helpful to someone you know inside or exiting wt captivity.. the video is one long hour, but it unpacks damning fact-checked citations along with some dredged audio clips of gb bs, such as fred franz publicly doubling down on 1975, and sam herd publicly degrading women.. the content will be familiar to most of us here, but it could be a 'narcan' antidote to help awaken someone from the jw poison overdose.

  Yes I thought - that book has not been available for a long, long time. I have a copy that was used for studies in the 1960s - it says things about Israel and the UN. I never studied this book. Never read it actually.

  okay, so here's a follow-up to my post a while back regarding the society tearing down the pyramid monument.

  they cleared the area and this is what they did.

  notice ... nothing about the watchtower connected to it, just slabs of cheap concrete..

  Wonder if they have put down soil and grass seed so a lawn mower can go over the 9 slabs with name. Once the grass is done there will not be an outline of footprint where the pyramid stood.

  Hi Vintage - Watchtower always enjoy a new dawn of something. They play a waiting game - a new generation is born and... there's one baby born ever minute (so to speak). So there's always a new audience with no knowledge of what went before that can be sucked in, organized and fleeced.

  I wonder if Lloyd ever wonders about living in the part the world that acted as a tinder box for 1914. There could be some ironies ahead.

  TonusOH - if you get a chance take a look at this video from 1989 - I think you'll be impress with what this man says.

  Hi Vintage - one of the best get rich quick schemes is to set up a religion. So you may not be far off!

  Atheism may require a tweek.

  Cults tend to include chanting, chatting to angels, dreams of going places (great for establishing pilgrim locations - set up cafes, flog souveniers, key rings and statues etc).

  Cults always fail on prophecy and raising the dead.

  Fascinating Quotations of The Faithful Slave

  by Vanderhoven7 in

  do you have any amazing quotations that have been produced by the faithful slave over the years?.

  remember it's important that we should learn to love and value truth for it’s own sake; to respect and honor it by owning and acknowledging it wherever we find it and by whomever presented.

  a truth presented by the faithful slave himself is just as true as a truth stated by god.. share some of those amazing quotations that have fascinated you.

  Seat of their power - read it carefully. They change the number 3 into 11 by changing what they are talking about. Starts off as Jehoiakim's rulership then switches to Jehoiakim vassal service to Nebuchadnezzar. Its a different number 3! Like 3 apples are different to 3 pears. 1914 rests on this and Dan 2:1 (a different but equally silly trick).

  *** dp chap. 3 p. 32 par. 4 Tested—But True to Jehovah! ***

  The expression “for three years” is of special interest to us, for the opening words of Daniel read: “In the third year of the kingship of Jehoiakim the king of Judah, Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon came to Jerusalem and proceeded to lay siege to it.” (Daniel 1:1)

  *** w64 10/15 p. 637 A Haughty Spirit Is Before Stumbling ***

  It was this event that Daniel the prophet writes about: “In the third year of the kingship of Jehoiakim the king of Judah, Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon came to Jerusalem and proceeded to lay siege to it.” (Dan. 1:1) This “third year” of vassalage to Babylon would be the eleventh year of Jehoiakim’s entire reign and would be due to end on Adar 29, or March 19, 617 B.C.E. He died before he lived out the end of this eleventh year.
