  i`m sure you have all noticed the ever increasing number of newbies and lurkers who have visited this site over the past months and i am sure we could all collectively welcome them to this site and support them on learning the ttatt .

  and helping them to navigate how they can look up older publications and quotes of the wtb&ts that they would rather remain hidden.. we all know jehovah`s witnesses /governing body never apologizes for mistakes they make they just don`t mention them anymore and explain it away as new light from god.. actually a big cop out.. welcome to all you who are new to this site .. every day their seems to be someone new posting which is great .. and if this is any indication of what is happening in all other ex jw sites the wtb&ts are in deep trouble .

  Refer to corruptgirl post Analysis of Tony Morris buying 12 bottles of scotch Wasanelder Once if you haven`t already done so .

  She certainly nails it on the head as to the WTS viewpoint in print.

  And of course their is my experience above .

  Atlantis / corruptgirl,

  I had second thoughts about putting those beers in as a joke because I thought I might upset corruptgirl who might have thought I didn`t take her post seriously or appreciate the evident time and effort she took in researching her post that I say again was an excellent analysis and appreciated the reason why she did post it.

  And if it was at all possible I would love to have a beer or two with you Atlantis

  Its a pity Elders who give this advice "bring reproach" upon Jehovah's name.“ were not themselves identified and prosecuted as they are really harbouring criminals and perverting the cause of justice in not reporting these abuses themselves .

  Take care Shelley / BCG your a survivor .

  I would venture to say that there would be many people before they converted to the JW religion had a problem with alcohol and still had that problem long after they had been baptized .

  I personally knew of a few in the many congregations I attended and initially had that problem myself in my early 20`s through to the my 30`s .

  Thankfully now I consider myself lucky I have been one of the few who could self regulate and can drink in moderation without getting drunk or intoxicated and be a pain in the ass to anybody.

  And I must admit the religion played a big part in my overcoming that problem .( credit where credit is due )

  Getting back to the topic,in my early days I would have been stumbled if I saw TM or any other high ranking JW buying such large quantities of top of the shelf booze.

  A similar thing I experienced with was smoking.I was a chain smoker rolling my own mostly but on going out I would smoke tailor mades and upon learning the "truth" I managed to give it up cold turkey, being told it was not acceptable by my mentor. This was in 1960.

  Years later I became aware of brothers who did smoke some who were MS and their was no penalties for doing so .That threw me a curve but I had kicked the habit by then, and thought, though I had been cheated.

  This was before they gave JW`s six months to kick the habit.

  So yes Tony`s buying so much booze could certainly stumble vulnerable one`s ,I hope he has if that free`s them from the clutches of this religion.

  Brain Teaser

  by BourneIdentity in

  2. beliefs

  i’ve always wondered about this one.

  if the bible says there will be a resurrection of the righteous and the unrighteous, does that mean all mankind that have died will come back to life?

  if so, what’s the incentive for jws to have an urgency to preach and save people?

  Good questions by both posters by above posters to ask the next JW to come to your door. People who live in lands where the Bible and Christianity is forbidden get an out of jail card because Jah can read hearts .?

  Why can`t Jehovah read hearts everywhere ? No need for KH`s or JW`s .

  In the past 2000 years Billions of people have lived and died not knowing anything about Christianity ,the Bible and certainly not the Jehovah`s Witnesses yet Jah will read their hearts .?

  Do we have a record of Jehovah reading the hearts of those humans in the world during Noah`s day ?

  Its hard to believe or comprehend that every man woman and child would have had a bad heart condition prior to the global flood.

  Worthy of their destruction.
