Project: I need help finding Watchtowers that show hate, prejudice, and name-calling.

by Emery in

i know there are a lot of examples to choose from but i want to find wt references that are the most blatant.

the printed evidence can be a great resource to all, including jw lurkers who fact-check.. .

"Being limited by the laws of the worldly nation in which we live and also by the laws of God through Jesus Christ, we can take action against apostates only to a certain extent, that is, consistent with both sets of laws. The law of the land and God's law through Christ forbid us to kill apostates, even though they be members of our own flesh-and-blood family relationship."

Nov 15, 1952 Watchtower pp.703-704

So, if there wasn't any forbidding, we are suppose to kill apostates, even if they our own flesh and blood??

something odd that i noticed before i stopped going

by cptkirk in

the main guy in the cong, they call them coordinators now or something, used to be called po right?....anyway, this guy kept reading from a different bible and seemed like he was trying to get others to do the same....."the living bible" ?

could this have something to do with the rumors about phasing out the nwt?

they going to phase in this living bible?

Probably a door to door awareness campaign?? Spread information (neutral & factual) about the religion (leave no space for them to sue you etc). Lead people to look for info in great websites such as jwfacts, freeminds, silent lambs etc..

More publicity, campaigns and complaints to all human right organizations with solid evidence. Eg WTS own articles (policies and teachings), real life stories (eg suicide cases, letters etc), cases of refusing of blood transfussion and it's effects, child molestation cases etc...

What is happening now in Australia should be happening else where too, it's baby step towards making the public aware of the cult and its danger.

Just my 2 cents

VICTORIA, AUSTRALIA | The Age newspaper | March 15, 2013 | Jehovah's Witnesses a 'cruel cult'

by jwleaks in

the age newspaper | fairfax media | friday, march 15, 2013. jehovah's witnesses a 'cruel cult'.

http://www.theage.com.au/national/jehovahs-witnesses-a-cruel-cult-20130315-2g5x3.html.

christian sect the jehovah's witnesses - with 64,000 active 'disciples' in australia - are a cruel religion with no soul, according to melbourne cultbuster raphael aron.. his warning comes as the federal government considers tightening the definition of a charity to prevent some cults and quasi-religions keeping their tax free status.

Update on "DA'd/DF'd"...

by Suraj Khan in

since many of you were kind enough to give your responses, or at least share in my confusion, i wanted to take some time to share things that went down in the last few days in my family.. to recap, i was born-in but thankfully the hogwash never took.

i was actively dodging meetings by age 13 by faking illness, usually missing 20 to 25 days of school per year.

i left my family to attend college and was told by a family member that an announcement was made in my local congregation the following year that i was disassociated.

So sorry to hear that Suraj.. The cult turns people into cold blooded people. But as for you, you are free!

"Anniversary of Jesus' Death" Invitation wording

by seenitall in

noticed the wording change this year.

no more memorial or lord's evening meal mentioned.. only an invitation to "the anniversary of jesus' death".

so, my question - who has caught this phrase and what does it mean?.

FingersCrossed

The only thing they celebrate is Jesus' death... how sickening!
