My wifey and I talking the other day.....in a few years the WBTS will be embracing and extolling many concepts, principles, and dynamics that got many of us shunned. At that time the mantra will be " To bad ol' so and so couldn't have waited on God's organization for the new light ".

Truthseeker1,
Interesting post........Whether true or false, the reality for me is pretty much the same. If true, it just shows how the WBTS's claim to "united in conduct" by the worldwide brotherhood is bogus. And if false, it begs the question, " Why do some dubs use the old ' Were just like everyone else ' to attract those (such as yourself ) who have been told that Witnesses are different/better than society in general?" Either way, for a person such as myself, needing sufficient doses of honesty to nuture what spirituality I do have, I need to put a great deal of distance between me and any organization so rife with contradictions.

One of the molesters in our area (elders son), was given the ol' WBTS special treatment: private reproof, some restrictions, but all talk of the crime was considered malicious gossip. Perp was allowed to sign for the deaf, including prayer. The real hard pill to swallow was all the friends of the family thrusting young children into his arms to "show" those of us with concerns, just how wrong our perceptions were of his "problem".

New Light on the United Nations (U.N.) (Scarlet Beast)
by UnDisfellowshipped inthere appears to be "new light" in the latest watchtower magazine (june 1st 2003 issue).
several watchtower publications for the last 50+ years have said that the united nations (u.n.) organization ("the scarlet-colored wild beast" of revelation) would definitely be the organization that will carry out jehovah's judgment on "babylon the great" (false religion), and then, under satan's [gog of magog's] direction, the united nations organization would become "greedy", and try to attack the remaining remnant of the "anointed" jehovah's witnesses and their companions, the "great crowd" of "other sheep", and then jehovah and jesus would destroy the united nations organization, along with everyone else who was not a jehovah's witness.
here is a quote that shows this: .

Back from the Memorial
by ScoobySnax inwell like i say, just got back from the memorial, have been going most years, but this year i went by chance (knew it was roughly at 7pm at the nearest kh) to my old congregation that i grew up in.
i didn't find the "evil" people spoke of here on this forum, or those too stupid to see.
all i did see was people i hadn't seen in years, and let me tell you, what lovely people they were.

Scooby,
It sounds like you don't agree with some of the comments at this site about JW's. I'm glad you realize that not everybody here has something negative to say about all Witnesses and you made it perfectly clear that there are some "decent" people on this board. Just as an exercise in perspective though, next time you're at the Hall, why not mention to some elder that you are involved at this site and know that there are some pretty "decent" apostates that you post with. Perhaps then, you might be able to better relate to some of what you describe as over-reactive comments from some that have been treated so poorly by the WBTS.

GOING TO COLLEGE INSTEAD!!!!
First one I have not attended in 39 years. Have been to only one meeting in the last year and that was the sunday after the last memorial.
I love Jesus and what he did, does, teaches, lives; however I don't like the misrepresentation that goes on down there at the Hall.
Physically and emotionally I feel the whole experience in my body. I would have known today was the day even if they hadn't sent the invite.
I am tired of them and have compassion for them. . . but NO, I WON'T GO. Not a stat for that!!
