  Quote from C of C "page224"

  ....a trap that i had thought i had been protected against.

  letting the scriptures speak for themselves-without being first funneled through some fallable human agency as a "channel".

  thought provoking words........ i'm only half way through this book and i wish i could send it to all my jw relatives.

  Are witnesses any better?

  by freedom96 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  as a whole, i believe most witnesses to be pretty good people.

  misguided, sure, but overall, decent people.. what i want are opinions on how good they actually are.

  for example, i went to a non-denonimational church recently.

  Yes I would have to say they are, not that their better people

  they just have that fear instilled in them & they must keep the

  orgaznation clean otherwise they will be ousted!!!!

  The image of W T S must be protected at all times

  even if it is a matter of life & death,

  So W T tells them just say no to sex, but it's o k to just go

  ahead & get married at 16 & have a lot of little J W robots!!!!!!!!!!!

  just my 2 cents

  on 12th october, bill bowen went to the german branch office in selters/ts.

  he came not further than the gate, where he was allowed to contact werner rudtke, member of the branch committee, via telephone.

  after some minutes, rudtke excused for his "bad english" and connected to hans obermeier, another bethel member.

  Thank you all for the info. about the other books. It's been yrs. since i've read the book also.

  I certainly will get some of the ones you all recommend.

  Yes the cult likeness is very much there although,Hitler was very physical with his

  brain-washing but He got the job accomplished much faster.

  Where as JehovahsWitnesses, their brain-washing takes much longer.

  The effect in the end is identical. FEAR-FACTOR!

  It has the same lasting effect in the long run.A person may never recover

  completlely without totaly de-programing themselves, very harmful.

  I think during this time period it was called Shell-Shocked,

  same effect as if 100 mortar shells went off in your brain.

  About the same effect as leaving the J W S .

  Thanks for the info. I love history!!!!!!!!!

  This work goes into explict details, about the Nazi concentration camps

  during Hitlers reign of terror.

  The thing I found to be very intersting was the Jehovahs Witnesses

  were not mentioned not even once!

  This is excellent reading, very in depth material.

  Anyone else share comments ?
