  What to say to WT Publishers

  by Anna Marina in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  on bbc radio this morning there was a 20 minute piece on jws and the child abuse cover up.

  i am already receiving reaction to it from a number of sources.

  it occurred to me - if you were giving ordinary members of the public a steer on how to deal with wt publishers what would you advise?.

  Brutality

  by Anna Marina in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  wt says jesus became invisibly present in 1914. what a load of old rubbish.

  but they are not the only ones.. in 1927 a woman called helen keller wrote a book called my religion.

  her book advocates the teachings of emanuel swedenborg who claimed that jesus had already returned.

  Religious Affiliation

  uk court case - does anyone know if there are actual court cases docs online to do with a may 12th news item on the watchtower's official website?.

  the news item says that the court of appeal of england and wales dismissed an application to appeal a decision of the high court upholding the watchtower's right to follow bible directives regarding disfellowshipping.. it's proving difficult to find online docs about this..

  i went into town today and saw an elderly publisher from my ex-congregation.

  Elder Confesses 50% is Rubbish

  by Anna Marina in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  yes an elder actually confessed to me that 50% he said from the platform was rubbish.

  that was in 2006. now in 2019 i have recently been thrown out of the watchtower organisation.

  well here's a video i put together showing early events to do with this.. https://youtu.be/ak5hmazvufg.

  Satan Hurled Out in 1914 - Will They Say It Was Never Taught?

  by Anna Marina in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  wbts rewrites/carefully edits their own history.

  since 2005, i have been through a lot with with wbts.

  recently i came across a suggestions that they will start denying that they ever said satan was hurled out of heaven in 1914.. in my experience, it is one doctrine many ordinary members are clear about - you ask them what supposedly took place in 1914 and they'll say, "satan was hurled out of heaven, therefore world war i started.".
