  new york) -- harold camping is "mystified" and "a little bewildered" that the rapture did not go as he predicted, an associate of the california preacher told abc news.. .

  tom evans, a board member of camping's family radio international, said that camping's wife told him her husband is at their home in oakland and has no intention to speak or issue any statement on sunday or monday.. .

  Yeah I haven't heard of Camping DFing anyone who changed their mind about following him. So that puts him at least one step above the Watchtower.

  "Recruiting the Deaf" a new "Freeminds" article by Barb Anderson

  by Dogpatch in

  the worldwide recruiting attempt of jehovah’s witnesses to bring their religious message to the deaf using sign language can be viewed as something of a mixed bag.

  while they strive to communicate it using the right methods, they convey an illusionary message that is detrimental in countless ways.[1].

  jehovah’s witnesses international “deaf ministry” as directed by the watch tower bible and tract society, inc., is no small feat because there are over 200 distinct sign languages in the world.

  By and large, the methods for hunting down deaf people is a waste of time. You will literally spend hours driving around, knocking on doors, harassing businesses and writing letters to schools with nothing to show for. Not to mention how much gas you have wasted driving all over.

  And this is different from the regular field ministry how?

  The Inner Light may be the greatest episode of Star Trek ever produced. I remember the first time I saw it being completely blown every time they came back from a commercial and Picard had aged another 10-15 years. I was like WTF?!?!!!

  ...they were adolescents and they were just touched.

  I saw this in the news, this Donohue guy sounds despicable.

  Its infuriating to see how they can minimize and condone truly vile and abhorrent acts, and somehow paint the perpetrators as victims!

  How can the WTS be short of money ?

  by the max in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  so the society have a hedge fund, some(50%) shares in a usa company who specsialise in weapons delivery systems , has a shares portfolio that includes cigerettes.it buys up real estate in one of the worlds most lucerative locations ny,uses free labour to refurbish these properties along with its tax free status and then sells them on at a profit.it further extends it real estate portfolio by lending money at intrest ,for the building of more kh, again built with free labour and tax breaks, which are never owned by the cong,s who built them, but belong wts.

  i am not an economist,though i would be hard pressed to come up with a better economic model than this, also it purports to be politically nuetral, so hopes to operate globally without restrictions, infact the (workers) have to pay the society ,by way of mag sales and donations, in order to give their free labour, no trade union protection or minimum wage.

  g--gle, p--si,ya-oo, micro---t, would kill to have these advantages in the market place..

  the building of more KH, again built with free labour and tax breaks, which are never owned by the Cong,s who built them, but belong WTS.

  For the last time,

  local congregations hold the deed to their Kingdom Hall, not the Watchtower Society!!

  Posting untrue allegations just makes ex-JWs look either misinformed or intentionally deceptive.

  April 2011 Awake page 27: Abuse ignored because of misguide loyalty....

  by NVR2L8 in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i rarely look at any wt publications anymore, but under watching the world, april 2011 awake quotes a newspaper article that blames the covering of sexual abuse on the misguided loyalty to the absolute authority of the catholic church.

  i couldn't help thinking of the many cases of child abuse amongst jws that have been swept under the rug for the exact same reason - the absolute authority of the fds!

  they have no shame pointing their finger at others when in fact they are as bad...if not worse in mistreating the victims of abuse.

  Official WT website explanation of refusal of blood. Not much of an explanation.

  by ThomasCovenant in

  1. watchtower
  2. medical

  this is the jw-media.org official explanation of why witnesses refuse blood transfusions.

  it strikes me as being a little weak in its explanation.

  ''our view of medical care.

  Since the Bible makes no clear statement about the use of minor blood fractions or the immediate reinfusion of a patient's own blood during surgery, a medical process known as blood salvaging, the use of such treatments is a matter of personal choice.

  So if these are a matter of personal choice, other uses of blood are not a personal choice? Witnesses have to do as the Watchtower commands? I think that's what they are saying here.

  Milton Henschel was President of the Watchtower Society from December 30, 1992 until his death on March 22, 2003.

  Not to be nit picky, but this is not correct. Henshel resigned as President of the Society back in 2000.
