LIE - The opposite of truth. Lying generally involves saying something false to a person who is entitled to know the truth and doing so with the intent to deceive or to injure him or another person. - Insight on the Scriptures, Volume 2, pp. 244-245

Governing Body Member Stephan Lett Lies On JW.TV
by Finkelstein ini thought it would be important to clearly point in the recent talk by governing body member stephan lett, that he did in fact deliberately lie concerning what he described as lies and false information by apostates, concerning the organization being permissive toward people in the organization who had been involved in pedophilia.
the truth of the matter is thats exactly what the organization has been doing and perhaps for a long time.
the recent candace conti law suit where she was awarded 28 million dollars was levied against the wts for its irresponsible behavior by the elders who gave no notification of the accused jonathan kendrick that he had been charged with pedophilia and spent months in jail for his actions .

Lett briefly addresses the child abuse issues in new JW.org video
by Richard_I ini just read about this on the ex-jw subreddit.
link to the video (10m06s).. skip to 7:35 where he says: "another way we can contribute to the oneness - rejecting false stories that are designed to separate us from jehovah's organization.
as an example, think about the apostate-driven lies and 'dishonesties' that jehovah's organization is permissive toward pedophiles.

WC: @ 3:30 Lett states in greedy sort of Freudian slip, "God wants us to make deposits, NOT withdrawls........"
I don't think that was a slip, I believe it was intentional. Are you familiar with Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP)?
While the general scientific opinion is that NLP is pseudoscience, I have repeatedly noticed the use of NLP techniques in WT literature, way too much to be coincidental or unintentional.

Notice when let says, "We reject outright such lies!" he averts his eyes. - 8:08"
This is a classic tell of a liar; they often cannot maintain eye contact at the very moment of their lies. Only the most sociopathic of liars can maintain eye contact when lying.

WBF: It's great that they are talking about it ... Now that a GB member brings the subject up, it has been introduced into the indoctrinated mind that probably knew nothing about the problem in the first place.
Exactly!
Now we can ask other JWs, "Did you see the latest video on jw.org? Why do you think the GB is talking so much about pedophiles? Do we have a problem I don't know about?
"Something's not right here ..."

Do you feel bad throwing away literature?
by stuckinarut2 inso do you feel bad throwing away your old literature?.
what about your old song book or bible from your early days in the org?.
if so, is it because of sentimentality, monetary cost or because it might be 'sacred' ?.

Garbage should be disposed of in a safe and sanitary means; trash as well, recycled if possible. Either way, ecological and environmentally sound means of disposal should be utilized if at all possible.

Stop Writing People Off
by Coded Logic inif you choose to enter into a discussion on this site and you don't have the time, or patience, or are just too damn lazy to defend your position on any given topic that is perfectly fine.
i'm not going to bash you over the head about it.
however, please don't tell me that i'm "wasting my time" or that the person i'm trying to convince, "will never learn.

cappytan: I really think that apostate's families (and friends) actually would prefer us to fake it.
Yes they would. Why? Because that's what they're all doing!

would it have been different if we knew why?
by sowhatnow ini always took issue with the idea of no one knowing why a person got df.. i know im not alone.. i complained to my mother about this when i was younger, explaining that how do we know what it is that gets a person df if no one knows what they did?
my moms answer was , .
'if people knew a persons personal faults and what they did , others would not be so forgiving when they were reinstated, because we'd always view them with that view, so in other words, if when so n so, committed fornication, and the whole cong would know it, if they announced from the platform then his/her reputation would be permanently stained' .

You do know don't you that they (the WTBTS and local bodies of elders) used to announce the reason that a person was disfellowshipped.
They quit due to defamation lawsuits. However, it actually works out better this way for the religion: Blind obedience without questions!
Let's review: It's a cult!
