I don't get it... If you go to the site, you'll get the good news.. That is of course, if you're interested....
But that's probably what the problem is...
Like with Zeb's post...wth?
It does make me feel like not bothering with this site...
But then look at the source jwvictims.org.... Not exactly overflowing with comments either....
I think this is why it has taken so long to get any progress with this... Too many spectators, not enough participants...
Zeb, are you 'I'm Wordly'... If you are... Thank you.. You gave me the idea for placing the litterature where it belongs...which led to informing members of the public, then the next day, cart witnessing outside a hall...

Wow... 90...

Haha
Good work.
Helping with what is already a rapidly drying up litterature well.

And, boy, does it feel good... Very cathartic.
Also gives opportunities to 'witness' to the occasional curious members of the general public, about why you are doing what you can about this...

Song 63 - They're Watchtower's Witnesses.
by Island Man in
1. social
2. humour
1. they've made gods of flesh and bone, also gods of wood and stone.give them all loyalty, their own blood disown.shackled minds just cannot seethat it's pure idolatry.why, witnesses deserve such disdain!since few will use their god-damn brain!.

(chorus).

they're watchtower's witnesses.they parrot such foolishness.theirs is the god of false prophecy;lies he foretells constantly.. .

Oh i love this
Haha
A tune came to me this morning...
Kingdom melody #1
"live, for the day, when you'll say.... Life without lies, at last"

Books are not dying out and this is not the reason for the WT turning to tablets
by slimboyfat in
1. watchtower
2. bible
there's a popular misconception that books in general are in terminal decline, that this is the reason the wt organisation has turned to tablets instead of print, and this in turn has created a financial crisis for the organisation which traditionally relied upon publishing books for income.

this is wrong on a number of levels.

firstly physical books are not in terminal decline, they are as popular as ever with consumers.
jw news 2017

Thank you for this, it's increased my belief that the litterature well, is indeed drying up.
... And therefore, the more litterature that is collected and safely disposed of, the more the general public will be protected and it will also help towards the collapse of the tower...
Freeing victims and children who are currently trapped and at its mercy...

Broadcast on BBC News Service to America: Heart & Soul, "Witness Protection"
by kepler in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
sorry about the delay on this, but about a week ago (sunday night?

) at 11:30 central daylight savings time in the us, the bbc news service broadcast provided an in-depth discussion of witness policy, law-suits and criminal proceedings in matters of child abuse, logs of incidents not shared with local authorities and disfellowships.

it was practically the sort of story that many correspondents on this forum have waited years to hear.
jw news 2017

That's good to hear that it is being heard around the world :-)
It was shared on here...
Here's the programme on the YouTube channel,
RunFromTheTower, for anyone who missed it :

Doing your own research
by Reazon22 in
1. jw
2. friends
we all know watchtower doesn't encourage their members do research for themselves.

can anyone point out any articles where it mentions this?

any help would be appreciated.
jw news 2017

I couldn't find the fuller video...
It's of this guy saying to only go on websites that they have authorised...
Maybe someone else has that video link, to hand...

By the way, there are 2 current inquiry's in the UK that are investigating Jehovah's Witnesses...
IICSA ~ Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse
And
Charity Commission for England and Wales
No doubt, this has already been passed on to both of them...
Thank you again... I only saw this because I came here... I need to go on jwvictims.org
more often ;-)
