Yeah, lets just all go back to the Kingdom Hall where we're told what to think, what to say, and when to say it. IS that what you really want, DR?
Bill is doing some wonderful things, but he is not perfect or infallible. When did he become immune from criticism? What makes you think the rest of the posters here are sitting on our hands doing nothing?
that's all I got to say.

The congregation witch hunt!
by kenpodragon inhas anyone ever studied the salem witch hunts and trails.
what i found interesting about these, is how people who claimed to be peaceful, could get so riled up, that they were willing to kill people.
the spark that lit the fire was often a rumor or false accusations that got out of hand, or perhaps a misunderstanding on a issue or people thinking they saw something they didn't.

Dragon, Your father is way off base. Confidential means confidential. He is opening himself up to lawsuits, and the Society would let him hang, and rightfully so.

I agree. this will not work. Where is this Judicial Commitee? Unless it is made up of elders who serve in the same congregation that the GB members attend, it is meaningless. And I have never heard of a judicial commitee communicating through a DF'd brother. I am not trying to belittle Bill Bowen or the work he has done, but this is not the way.
btw, 5 GB members have been accused of child molesting? current GB members?

The Pot Calling the Kettle Black
by IslandWoman ini wonder sometimes if to outsiders who visit this and other xjw discussion boards it seems as if xjws never "bought the farm" and that's why they look down on those who did.
there is much ridicule of the rank and file here, why?
if we placed literature, conducted a bible study, brought a bible study to the point of baptism, gave talks, commented at the watchtower study, volunteered,

Wow, Farkel, you are an XJW leader! Did you know that? What are our orders, sir?
IW, do you realize you are stereotyping XJW's?

'Great Earthquakes'
by No Apologies inin a followup to the march 22, 2002 awake series of articles on earthquakes, the nov 8, 2002 awake has a letter from a reader questioning the frequency of earthquakes.
earthquakes i read the cover series "earthquake survivors tell their story.
" (march 22, 2002) in it you quote a source stating that"earthquakes of 7.0 magnitude and greater remained 'fairly constant' throughout the20th century.

In a followup to the March 22, 2002 Awake series of articles on earthquakes, the Nov 8, 2002 Awake has a letter from a reader questioning the frequency of earthquakes.
Earthquakes I read the cover series "Earthquake Survivors Tell Their Story." (March 22, 2002) In it you quote a source stating that"earthquakes of 7.0 magnitude and greater remained 'fairly constant' throughout the20th century." Yet the 1999 World Almanac shows a dramatic increase in earthquakes during the 1990's.
"Awake!" responds: Without taking sides on this issue, our article merely pointed out what some seismologists assert regarding the overall frequency of earthquakes in the 20th century. The point was made that even if one believes that the number of earthquakes has remained "fairly constant," Jesus' prophecy recorded in Matthew 24 is being fulfilled in our era. Jesus simply said that "great earthquakes would occur.--Luke 12:11.
This is amazing! I guess all those Watchtower publications such as the Reasoning book, that claimed a major increase in the frequency of earthquakes since 1914, are now officially "old light." Unbelievable!

D8TA, I'm not sure, but I get the feeling you might be having doubts about the truth. Maybe I'm reading too much into your comments. I hope I'm wrong. (smiley for the humor-impaired).

5 Steps the Watchtower Society must take.
by Amazing inhere is what i believe the watchtower society needs to do in 5 clear steps.
that is if they are to avoid the coming "trainwreck" of being forced out of business: .
1. take full and complete responsibility for their part in the bad policies with respect to blood, sexual molestation, and shunning.
-

No Apologies
4. Immediately change their policy to a Zero Tolerance program for pedophiles, continuing this process as each new molester emerges. End shunning and terminate their no-blood policy.
How exactly do you reconcile Zero Tolerance for pedophiles and an end to shunning? What do you want them to do with pedophiles? I certainly want nothing to do with pedophiles, and I have no problem shunning them.
This is the problem when you mix all these issues together. I have heard people here complain that some pedophiles 'got off with a slap on the wrist' by being disfellowshipped, and then turn around and complain what a cruel punishment DFing is. Which is it?
By the way, I do have personal experience with someone getting the slap on the wrist, so I am not just asking to make waves.

new point watchtower Sept. 20th
by desertflower inpage 16 under talking about the good samanitan, par.
15 (quote) something else is noteworthy about jesus' reference to the road that went "down from jerusalem to jericho".
according to the story, first a priest and then a levite were also traveling that road-although neither stopped to help the victim (luke 10: 31, 32 ) the priests served at the temple in jerusalem and the levites assisted them.

I thought it was interesting too, when I read it. I used to enjoy little bits like this, I thought it showed that some of the writers really did their homework in presenting the material. Of course, lately I have come to realize just how badly the Watchtower completely misses the point of Jesus' whole illustration of the neighborly Samaritan.
