I would think that Bethel J.W.'s who are assigned to deal with correspondence will have been very carefully vetted and selected due to their absolute love and loyalty of the org, therefore virtually immune to any information which puts their golden calf in a bad light. But you never know, one future small crack in the building could magnify the previously ignored cracks - and bring the building down for someone.

Why I constantly write letters to the Watchtower Society
by UnshackleTheChains inhi all.. for many years now, i have been writing letters to bethel in new york and london.
i have also written to the charity commission, the bbc and more to highlight the harmful teachings and policies of the watchtower society.
i realise that some may view this as futile and understand why they might feel this way,; especially considering the pharisaical stonewall-like attitude displayed by the leadership of watchtower.. some reasons i do so is because i feel that constructive criticism is essential in helping to bring about change.

Elders asking, "Are you refusing to talk to us?"
If I was ever confronted with that question again, the predators would never forget my reply!

Is it better to have a false hope than have no hope?
by sinboi injust got the news.
a very close classmate of mine met an accident and died last nite.... just 4 months after i da'd from the borg.. if i am still in, i wouldn't be so sad.
he has the hope of resurrection.. but now that i am out, i realise that resurrection in paradise is all bullshit.. so what's next?

Sinboi, I know the pain you're feeling, and I'm sorry. The death of someone who was special to us causes pain and mental turmoil which at that very moment swallows us up in a darkness which is not "normal" to those who suffer. Whether we have faith in an all-powerful God and the promise of a resurrection, or we view such thinking as ludicrous, both camps should respect the other person's choice in what they believe or disbelieve. Personally, at the moment, I don't believe in alien visitations or abductions, but ridiculing people who do would say more about me than them. It is clear that Christians (not just J.W.'s)` get comfort at such times with verses like these: 1 Thessalonians 4:13,14 - "And now, dear brothers and sisters, we want you to know what will happen to the believers who have died so you will not grieve like people who have no hope. For since we believe that Jesus died and was raised to life again, we also believe that when Jesus returns, God will bring back with him the believers who have died." (New Living Translation) Non-believers have no such comfort - whether it's true or not.

Who is "The" Creator ? Jehovah or Jesus ?
by smiddy3 inis jehovah the creator ?.
apparently jehovah created the "word" or "logos" ( jesus).
and he never created anything else according to bible scripture.. however the first born of creation the logos /jesus was used to create everything else in the material world.. so then isn`t jesus also a creator ?.

Sir Christopher Wren is accredited with building St.Paul's Cathedral in London - as well as rebuilding others.
"He was accorded responsibility for rebuilding 52 churches in the City of London after the Great Fire in 1666, including what is regarded as his masterpiece, St Paul's Cathedral." (Wikipedia)
I'll bet he never lifted a brick. It's all about semantics.

Update letter? It looks more like a "We're struggling to keep on schedule because so many of you J.W.'s with needed trade skills have woken up to our real estate scam and are refusing to contribute your expertise for free" letter!
Those who live in the ivory towers of the WTBTS are far removed from the reality of life - that people usually have to work to get money to pay for life's necessities. Others choose to become parasites, rather than provide for themselves.

What exactly is the JANUARY 2018 WT trying to tell J.W.'s?
by The Fall Guy inthe needle has been stuck on the record for over 130 years - thanks to mr. russell and his successive cohorts:.
page 11, paragraph 19 - “as this system nears its end,....”.
page 13, paragraph 5 - “do my actions show that i truly believe that these are the last days and that the end of satan’s rule is near?”.

Reasonable question for J.W's to ask themselves, their Elders, or even (heaven forbid!) the org's "faithful slave" :
"If the end is so imminent, why go to all the time, trouble, and (sheep's) expense to sell off the world HQ and the U.K. properties and build new ones? Why not replace them with the White House and Buckingham Palace as soon as Armageddon is over?" Duh!

"the imminent end" - perpetual false prophets of doom!
The imminent end was 65 years ago - time to retire your fairy story, WTBTS.
(Deuteronomy 18:20-22) “‘If any prophet (WTBTS) presumptuously speaks a word in my name that I did not command him to speak.....that prophet (WTBTS) must die. When the prophet speaks in the name of Jehovah (only J.W.'s speak in the name of "Jehovah") and the word is not fulfilled or does not come true, then Jehovah did not speak that word. The prophet spoke it presumptuously. You should not fear him.’
