  KGB infiltrated the Borg

  by ExBethelitenowPIMA in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  we from the old year books that some kgb undercover agents became elders in high up positions.. i wonder if this is going on today?

  not just in russia but other congregations around the world?.

  when you think how long it takes to become an elder and all the talks and maybe judicial committees they were involved with.. anyway i’m just throwing it out there if someone wanted to pay me i am a current elder who is pima about intelligence or chance involved with the origin of the universe.. .

  i'm not sure if anyone remembers me since i do not post here much anymore.

  i sometimes pop in around christmas time to see if anyone is interested in exchanging christmas cards like we used to back when i first posted on this site.

  speaking of which, the holiday season will soon be upon us.. if you recall, i was married to a jehovah's witness and i had a daughter i spoke of a lot.

  Hi, Gary I remember you. I used to post as smiddy now I post as smiddy3 And for some reason I do not understand I cant see smiddy as a poster at all ? Simon ? Atlantis ?

  Anyhow I`m glad things are going AOK for you and as another poster said your positive outlook goes a long way in keeping sane ,however I do think all religion is just bunk with just another way in keeping the masses in check.

  But that`s just me .

  Take care.

  Tony Morris replaced - by ANOTHER teleprompter reader!

  the whitewashing of tm111 from jw history continues - tending to confirm that he was booted.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ghbhv6961a.

  i'm pretty sure the cult got him to sign a nice nda - in exchange for a lifetime residency in the house bought by wt..

  Are Elders prepared to take the fall for WT/GB misdemeanor's / crime ??

  by smiddy3 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i have been thinking about this in relation to the directive given to elders to destroy any incriminating evidence they may have either on their pc`s ,e-mails , private notes in their possession, or notes in their witnessing bags ,etc.

  to do with child sexual abuse they may still have in their possession.. isn`t that encouraging the elders to interfere with the justice system ?.

  to break the law?.

  Is it the same in most western countries or is there a difference in other world places .?

  I`m in Australia and would like to know about here mainly but am interested how it would be viewed elsewhere.

  Any Elders past or present who would comment I`d appreciate it.

  And if you are presently an Elder would you comply with this directive ?

  What makes you think there is a "true" religion in existence ? Can`t your brain comprehend that there doesn`t have to be a religion that is true ?

  They could be all false / fake.

  Religion ,and I mean all faiths of religion not just Christianity ,could very well be a concept of man as another way to control human thinking .

  If people do wrong they can be prosecuted ,fined jailed ,punished by the secular authorities , whereas religion see`s you being punished by a GOD even in the after-life ,once you have died for evermore ,it`s just another way of controlling humans to be good and not be a problem to other humans or the governments.

  It`s not just Christianity that doesn`t have the true religion ,no other faiths in the world have either.

  Take care sue ,and please think,..... use your brain.

  Why would Satan be concerned about any increase of JW`s when he knows full well that they are a cult religion ?

  And are just as misled as any other religion Christian or otherwise ?

  Whatever the reasons political or otherwise it certainly was not because of any increase in the JW religion as if it was THE religious truth.

  Isn`t that encouraging the Elders to interfere with the justice system ?

  To break the law?

  Isn`t it a crime to willfully destroy evidence that could be used in a court of law ?

  Surely Elders are not dumb enough not to know their would

  / could be consequences if they obeyed these instructions ?

  I am right here aren`t I in posing these questions ?

  Any Elders here want to weigh in and comment ? and of course anybody else.?
