by Finkelstein in

well perhaps not directly to jws but the speech within this video could very well... one thing about hitchens he had the veracity to cut open religious theocracy with .

by watson in

jw
friends

LOL nanotechonology which the outline gives a 1999 Watchtower magazine reference for.

Very up-to-date with modern science.

Will AAWA Become another cult?

by His Excellency in

please sorry for english, i have only been learning for 18 months.

everyone please think about it, and beware of any initiative designed to solve "a community problem".

becasue russel also started his own cult on a similar premise like this , claiming to have all the answers to issues whose solutions seems obscured to the majority in his days, and here we are today, constantly bashing our fingers on the keyboard in a bid to finding comfort from the mess he had put all of us into.

Breakfast of Champions, might I remind that you may be making a huge mistake in leaving AAWA, I mean, at least before 2014 when all the AAWA'ers are taken by the Lord to a new spiritual estate in Cedar Point, Ohio, to be with him?

LOL

It's presented by Jehovah's Witnesses who are parroting what the GB wants them to say, not expressing their own thoughts.

The existence of a monotheistic Judaeo-Christian/Muslim god is as improbable and impossible to prove as the existence of Zeus or Thor.

Do they know the TTATT?

Local needs talk

by hoser in

one of the elders was missing his service bag and suspected that one of the publishers stole it.

he was determined to root out who did it so he decided to give a local needs part on the ten commandments focusing on you must not steal.. he enlisted the help of a trusted ministerial servant and got him to stand at the back of the kingdom hall during the part.

he told the ms that he would read off the ten commandments and when he got to the one "you must not steal" he would pause longer than usual and see if anyone acted nervous or suspicious.

alecholmesthedetective

You really got me. LOL!

AAWA is here!! (The Association of Anti-Watchtower Activists)

facebook the association of anti-watchtower activists.

alecholmesthedetective

I am opposed to the Watchtower--its harmful policies, its protection of paedophiles over innocent children for the sake of the organization, its harmful control of the members' minds, its brainwashing of members into believing they'll cheat death and other lies, its shameful profit out of the slave labour of its members. I could go on.

Therefore, I am anti-Watchtower.

I am an anti-Watchtower activist.

I support the name, and AAWA.

Black Sheep, when Cedars mentioned convention billboards I remembered that thread and Grace's words:

I'm sure they did think I was a kook (I am)
BUT!!!! when I went to the PA exjw convention, it was music to my ears
when others stood up & said it was what was on the Pickters signs that made them
start thinking ,& it helped them OUT!!!! of the trap, So I dont care what anyone thinks of
ME!!!!!! I care what they think of the CREATOR!!!!!

And that was an interesting thought to me, how it had worked.

BROTHERS & SISTERS - READ THE BROCHURE!

by The Searcher in

jesus always used illustrations to help people reason on the import of what he was saying.

here is an illustration followed by a reality;.

imagine that your heart went out to all those poor people who suffered when fukushima blew up, so much so, that when an internationally renowned charity asked for donations to help those in need, you donated $5000 to the cause.

alecholmesthedetective

OMG !!!!!!!!!!!!!

this is appaling. I'm truly shocked. I had no idea. It's just disgusting. Immoral. And sooooooooooo wrong.

This should be made PUBLIC. To some newspaper or something.

I am so disgusted by this. It's so wrong.

Please God this organisation will get it's 'payment in full'

This is exactly how I'm feeling.

Perhaps AAWA can help JWs aware of this as well.

Some are still on the drawing board, such as our church outreach program - which we hope will effectively turn many congregation territories into minefields of our leaflets if executed effectively.

I see Cedars, I wasn't quite sure what it meant exactly but now I realize I'd be up for that as well. I'll email you that just in case.
