  My guess is that they found a doctor at Bethel, wrote a letter, and got him to send it to the AMA. Boom. Manufactured quote. Easy as pie.

  That is most likely what happened...!

  Quotes website can "confuse newly interested": so says my Elder/Father

  by Quotes in

  2. family

  hi gang, .

  i went to visit my parents last weekend, taking my lovely wife and her mother (who is visiting us from overseas and happens to be a sincere devout catholic and a wonderful person, and speaks almost no english).

  recently my mother mentioned (via telephone) that she wished my father would buy a new computer (theirs is a vintage 1987 ibm ps/2 25 mhz) so at the last minute i decided to give them one of the old ones i have sitting around, complete with 17" monitor -- a kind of "peace offering".

  6 pubs reveal one of the possible reasons for WTS association with UN

  by Pole in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  most of us are familiar with the requirement which says that in order to asscociate with the un, ngos must: -"have a demonstrated interest in united nations issues and proven ability to reach large or specialized audiences, such as educators, media representatives, policy makers and the business community;".

  "have the commitment and means to conduct effective information programmes about un activities by publishing newsletters, bulletins, and pamphlets; organizing conferences, seminars and round tables; and enlisting the cooperation of the media".

  interestingly, according to this document:.

  Quotes, interesting thought! Also keep in mind that JW, according to the WT Society itself, could get out of the situation IF THEY WANTED, but THEY CHOSE NOT TO. The Jews, as far as I know, had no such an option. Observador.

  Walk with Gawd District Convention - Video!

  by Elsewhere in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  for those of you who are inclined toward sadomasochism, you might enjoy watching a very very very long video about this year?s district convention.

  it is video of the setup, the baptism (more victims), the infamous drama with the demonized kid and many short interviews with jws at the convention.. one interview that stood out to me was of a teen who commented on how "nice" the small district convention is... she totally failed to connect the dots that the convention is small due to falling attendance and budget cuts.. something that stood out to me was the glaring absence of any talks.

  maybe they know that the general public would find what is said to be very "cult like".. .

  JWs and 9/11

  by kgfreeperson in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i couldn't find anything using search, so maybe somebody just needs to point me in the right direction.

  but i don't remember any discussion about what jws thought was happening when planes started flying into buildings and the hysteria in the nation began to build.

  i do know about the reaction of the watchtower, locking their doors against people in need.

  Hi.

  The JW in my area, at least, started using the old line "See? The Bible has been warning about something like this for ages..." at people's door. The situation became such that, as far as I know, the congregations received instructions to not use that line any longer but to focus in a message of "hope". The WT Society is smart enough to realize that the JW attitude of "I told you so" wouldn't be welcome in the US at least.

  9/11 was, actually, one of the things that helped me to open my eyes.

  Exposing The WT Lies Worldwide In Other Languages

  by frankiespeakin in

  .

  i am very curious about the progress we xjw's are making on the internet in exposing the wt in other languages,,i know the french, german, english, and spanish, are well represented on the net,, but what about russian, polish, greek and all the others.

  if you have any info on this please share i'm sure all xjws would be happy to know more about this on a world wide scale.. i just have a feeling that this expose is building up momentum, and that the wt is in it's last days which should cause the gb considerable stress.

  WT RESOLUTIONS what becomes of them??

  by JT in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i got an email the other day from an long time jw, in fact he was 13 at the 1958 convention in ny and polo grounds .

  we were talking about the org and he posed the question to me as well- i thought about it and i could not think of anything-.

  i have never heard -other than the name adoption resolution- any mention of any resolutions that we as jw adopted like in 1979, 1983 , etc.

  Oh, yes, those resolutions....!!!

  I remember vividly the one when the Revelation book was released, declaring that Baby, the great, was a harlot and would go straight to destruction very very soon. Oh, this was in 1989, I think.

  Oh, my goodness... (shaking head in disbelief)

  I think they just help to wake the folks up.
