  Jesus between age 12 and 30. . .

  by Mad Sweeney in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i'm thinking he traveled east and learned the wisdom of the orient.

  no way the watchtower line about him being a carpenter's assistant all that time is possibly true.

  he was way too learned about the ways of people to not have been educated and his ideas seem very eastern to me.. anyone got any good books, articles, blogs, websites on the topic?.

  Would you settle for a good song? "It was rainy 'n it was cold, West Bethlehem was no place for a 12 year old...."

  Anonymous attack on the Watchtower?

  have you ever heard of anonymous?.

  anonymous is an amorphos underground collective of internet activists - interactivists.

  many of their activities are illegal, or at least reside in the grey area of legality.

  On the other hand, being attacked by Anonymous might be perceived as the group giving the Watchtower bully its just deserts.

  Highly unlikely, since no one sees the WT as a bully in the first place. I'm not saying they aren't, just that that is not how they are perceived, even by "worldly" people who see them as negative. If Anonymous seized upon some specific incident of bad behaviour by the WT, things might be different; for instance, if Malawi was happening today, that might get Anonymous' attention (but again, probably only if there was an insider from the apostate community).

  The WT is just a Saturday morning nuisance to "the world". Nothing more, nothing less.

  Also, Anonymous isn't known for having PR as it's primary goal, they step in and actually attack organizations electronically. Maybe I'm wrong, but it seems to me that there just isn't all that much to attack with the WT.

  Unless someone in the Anonymous inner sphere has a friend who is an exJW, it seems very unlikely. From what I can see, Anonymous focuses on causes that affect broadly rather than narrowly.

  One need only attempt to discuss JW issues on a neutral discussion board to see that the average person does not have a clue about the true darkside of the JW organization. Therefor, if Anonymous attacked the WTBS, they would look as if they were being arbitrary and bullying.

  That said, I recently wondered if the poster we had here years ago known as "Focus" might be a part of Anonymous?

  Did Ciro forget that Muslims are already defined as members of Babylon the Great? They can't be both, can they?
