Brothers & Sisters of the flocks & herds,
I write to you today with important news concerning false teachings. There is a religion( I think you all will know of the one I speak of )that places great emphasis on numbers. They spend a great deal of time and effort compiling statistics about their followers. They place great importance on the numbers 607, 1914, 144000, 70 yrs. etc... They go to great lengths to explain these numbers, yet they offer no explanation for their most important number. You see, it requires a 2/3 majority of the supreme council of this religion to approve a change in doctrine or teaching or any other major decision. So clearly this number (2/3) is a most powerful and important number. Would such a number be picked at random, or simply made up? I think not!
Now, at first glance; the number 2/3 seems quite innocent. Then why not let all the followers know about this number?( many are still unaware). Why not explain it? I believe I've found the answer.Hidden within this number is ANOTHER SECRET number - a decimal number. We've all learned that any fraction can be expressed as a decimal by dividing the top number by the bottom number. Do it now, brothers& sisters; grab your calculators and divide 2 by 3 and you will discover the secret source of all dicisions of this religion. The truth has been revealed! Clear it now, before it's burned into your screen!
Heed this warning, brothers & sisters and keep searching for the truth.

don't you hate it when someone you know comes up with some new thing that you have never heard about?
you sit there in apparent ignorance as they pontificate about the proofs and merits of some idea so far beyond common knowledge that it can only be revealed by people of exceptional enlightenment such as they.

The Leaning Tower Issue 2 02/01The Leaning Tower Bath and Shower Society recognizes that there are many "worldly" authors who have a great deal of wisdom to share. That being the case, we present a parable from one of our favorites. Enjoy.
"Once there lived a village of creatures along the bottom of a great crystal river. The current of the river swept silently over them all -young and old, rich and poor, good and evil, the current going its own way, knowing only its own crystal self. Each creature in its own manner clung tightly to the twigs and rocks of the river bottom, for clinging was their way of life, and resisting the current what each had learned from birth. But one creature said at last, "I am tired of clinging. Though I cannot see it with my eyes, I trust that the current knows where it is going. I shall let go, and let it take me where it will. Clinging, I shall die of boredom." The other creatures laughed and said, "Fool! Let go and that current you worship will throw you tumbled and smashed across the rocks, and you will die quicker than boredom!" But the one heeded them not, and taking a breath did let go, and at once was tumbled and smashed by the current across the rocks. Yet in time, as the creature refused to cling again, the current lifted him free from the bottom, and he was bruised and hurt no more. And the creatures downstram, to whom he was a stranger, cried,"See a miracle.! A creature like ourselves, yet he flies! See the Messiah, come to save us all!" And the one carried in the current said, "I am no more Messiah than you. The river delights to lift us free, if only we dare let go. Our true work is this voyage, this adventure." But they cried the more, "Saviour!" all the while clinging to the rocks, and when they looked again he was gone, and they were left alone making legends of a Saviour."

Do the light ones really teach the truth?
Psa43:3 O send out thy LIGHT and thy truth: let them lead me; let them bring me unto thy holy hill, and to thy tabernacles.
Dan2:22 He revealeth the deep and secret things: he knoweth what is in the darkness, and the LIGHT dwelleth with him.Brothers and Sisters of the heavy herd, do not be tempted by worldly diets! Fear not, for the biblical diet says you will become lighter as you sleep! All you need do is be upright.
Psa112:4 Unto the upright there ariseth LIGHT in the darkness(lose weight while sleeping!): he is gracious, and full of compassion, and righteous.

It appears Sister Redhorse has doubts! Shame, shame, shame. Read on for more proofs!
The work of the Leaner Day Saints continues! From the archives of the most holy Weekly World News:WORLD'S ONLY 'FAT' EXORCIST!
Priest banishes the demons that make you fat!
NEW ORLEANS, La. -- Obesity is caused by demons who possess the body and compel the victim to overeat and get fat, says a controversial former Catholic priest. And he says he can help chubby people dump their excess pounds -- as the world's only professional 'fat' exorcist!
Father Jon Shaunt is being condemned as a charlatan by consumer rights groups, the medical community and even the Catholic Church, which ex-communicated him in 1992 for heresy.
But he's adored by the hundreds who have slimmed down to a perfect weight after experiencing his exorcism ceremony -- which costs a cool $5,000.
"Jesus taught that physical maladies were the result of demons in the body," says Shaunt, 48. "The New Testament is full of cases of Christ freeing people of the demons that caused their illnesses. Every fat person who ever lived knows that a power greater than them takes over and makes them eat pizza and ice cream even when they themselves don't want to.
"All I do is summon the fat causing demons to leave the body.
"I don't think $5,000 is excessive for the service I render."
Rhonda Laburn, 40, agrees. she weighed 343 pounds and had tried every diet in the book. She'd been through countless weight loss programs and taken hundreds of exercise classes, all to no avail.
"I needed to exorcise -- not exercise," quips the happy and now slim housewife.
"Father Shaunt explained that my problem was demonic possession and offered to perform the exorcism for $5,000. Anyone who was ever chronically obese knows it's worth 10 times that amount to be free of that mountain of fat.
"He lit some candles and incense, sprinkled some holy water over me and said some words ordering the evil demons to leave my body. I felt an immediate peace in my heart. My fat began to melt away like spring snow and I haven't had an urge to overeat since." Mrs. Laburn now weighs a lean 125 and is maintaining her weight.
Here are a few more testimonials from Shaunt's happy devotees:
"I felt 30 pounds lighter the instant he commanded those spirits to come out of me."
-- Martin H. (Lost 204 pounds)
"I've been reborn as a thin person thanks to this wonderful man."
-- Lucille L. (Lost 218 pounds -- in four months)
"Father Shaunt should be made a saint for the miracles he's working."
-- Diana S (Husband lost 80 pounds)thinker

Living A Lie
by MoodyBlue ini am sick of living a lie, yet afraid to change it.
married to a man who refuses to listen, who would rather plug his ears and shout "nooooooo" is taking it's tole.
i am afraid to speak my mind about my doubt, my thoughts, and what i'm learning, as i'm not ready to cross that point of no return.

Moody Blue,
Don't give up now. You've gotten to the point that your husband will discuss this with you. To me that is a huge breakthrough. Most JW's simply shut out any discussion.
You obviously love the man, so why not do everything you can to help him see the real truth about the org.? You know you've found the truth and you have a chance to express it and help someone else.thinker

To those of the not-so-lean class,
Even the not-so-lean should have faith:
Isa17:4 "And in that day it shall come to pass, that the glory of Jacob shall be made thin, and the fatness of his flesh shall wax lean." (KJV)
For even John was a little heavy:
John1:6 "There was a man sent from God, whose name was John."
John1:8 "He was not that Light, but..." (KJV)To One and ALL,
Proof of the Baptismal Bath:
Eze45:10 "Ye shall have just balances, and a just ephah, and a just bath." (KJV)To Sister Mommy,
Clearly you have experienced a spiritual baptism. Consider yourself a part of the annointed herd. Have faith, your vision will come true as written above in Eze45:10 .Elder Larc,
Nothing yet on the aforementioned birds, but look at this:
Eze34:20 "Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD unto them; Behold, I, even I, will judge between the fat cattle and between the lean cattle."
Could it be that our "flock" is really a herd?Much study yet to do...

*** NEWS FLASH ***
As you know, ANY member of the congregation can get "New Light". Well, sister TW had a vision. In it, the Great Is suggested that "since each day should be a celebration of life, maybe we'd like to do a daily baptism". Sound's good to me.
Let's be sure and note this in next month's "Leaning Tower", don't forget to emphasize that this is ONLY a suggestion and, of course; those who wish to do their "leaning" in the shower are perfectly fine in doing so.yours,

Dear Elder Larc,
I am most upset by the uprising in your household. Suggest you take corrective measures immediately. Remember "a happy wife makes a happy life" (see Leaning Tower, issue 1 01/01).
I on the other hand have excellent news. We have our FIRST convert!!!
Sister TW was baptised on 01/17/01 in the traditional ceremony of the communal bath in the oversized tub; followed by the usual post-baptismal celebration.
Keep up the great work on the translation.thinker

What are the reasons?
by neyank inhi all,.
someone asked me the other day why i am so interested in reading about jws,ex jws and things that are going on with the wts.. i think for the most part,only those who have been involved with the wts can understand why we are so interested in the subject.. of course having believed everything the wts has told us over the years and dedicating our lives to it kept us tied in with them.. what are the different reasons that you all have for continuing to be preocupied with the wts?.

Back to the original question.
What are the different reasons that you all have for continuing to be preocupied with the WTS?
I've never been a JW, but my wife has so I want very much to understand it all. In addition, I met some of her JW friends just before she DA'd and for the most part they were very nice, normal folks. When I learned more about the org. it baffled me as to why these nice people would abandon all logic and allow themselves to be so controlled. I have a hypothesis, but for now I'll keep it to myself.
