to all those who frequent this discussion board:.
we just wanted you to know that an investigative public radio program named reveal, produced by cir (center for investigative reporting) and prx, will present today, saturday, february 14th, the results of new investigations uncovering hidden stories.
in this weeks story, there will be three different topics covered.
After reading Reveal's story on the web, we had someone from 40 years ago call us She was so excited to see all of the details being made available. This causes chagrin to the WT's "keep it secret" policies.
We were told of her leaving in 2003 over the Dateline news show about abuses. She had done her own investigating, and couldn't live with the hypocrisy, wrote emails to all in her congregation disassociating herself. We hope all in the ex-witness community will be encouraged by this, that they are not alone in how they feel about the WT.
Many have responded favorably to this great news of "Secrets" that have been "Revealed". Thanks Trey Bundy, Delaney Hall, & all of you at CIR, for the GREAT job & hard work you put into this story!
please don't laugh - i just threw this together and didn't bother making a script first so probably repeat myself or make no sense at all at times.. hopefully it will demonstrate a few tips for using the site more effectively.. i'll do one on signing up and logging in next and also how to edit, reply etc.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rx5d3ct0y50.
if we are to look at matthew 1:17, looks like there were 42 generations from abraham to jesus.. if we take 1948 bce (abraham's birth) and we take it to jesus baptisim (29 ce) we get to 1,977 years.. so lets divide 1977 years by 42 (the amount of generations), we get to around 47 years for one generation.. 1 generation = 47 years.. 1 generation + an overlapping generation (1 generation more) = 94 years.. this is all in the first chapter of the new testament..... comments welcome.....
I did the same research, 40 years seems to be the magic number, and even if you have "overlapping" generations, like the glorious ones in NY have "evidently" agreed upon by means of HS when they meet together....
1914 + 80 = 1994
2x40 = 80 = long gone...

Hopefully, her story will help others.
you must see the musical video at the end of this month program (aprox.
at 1:04:30).... i don't like to use "must" but this is wow... if you think they couldn't get any lower... just be prepared...
"in lieu of flowers send money to the kingdom hall"..... wow.... this young woman's jw servant husband was caught cheating on her again with another jw "sister", but when she told her husband she wanted to forgive him again and continue with her marriage, he told her he didn't want that.
he wanted her to simply move on with her life.here is how she moved on: she put on her wedding dress, got into her car in the garage and started it.
do you think finding her this way spoke louder than any suicide note?
So very, very sad... and yes, this cult does train you to never think you have done enough... that you always need to forgive, that you are "married for life" no matter what... that "no children" is a sacrifice for 'God.'
After leaving this terrible, terrible organization... after knowing it is 'not the truth,' I have seen the effects of it's influence take it's toll on many people, in many ways... some longer than others.
The WT is evil. It screws with your brain.
only have a few minutes to spare so thought i would throw this together.. been in for about 30 years.
questions and doubts gathered over that time.
i have a keen interest in the legal and financial matters of the watchtower.. came across this site about 5 years ago.
Hi Ozgirl! Welcome, and please, if you have any insights into their business/ legal aspects, or have any interesting things we may not know about, but need to think about... pllllleeeeeaaassseee share them...
Thx... ChaChing
have you all read this weeks study article?.
oh my word it is full of fear inducing tactics....doom and gloom outlooks.... anxiety inducing methods to develop absolute control over witnesses and cripple them in any attempt to think for themselves!.
(notice i am saying "themselves" rather than "ourselves"?!
My bet? I think that they are starting their next propaganda campaign.. They always start years & years earlier....
They are trying to get these "meeting in the basements of private homes" pictures to look normal to JW's... Then, when the WT sells off the K Halls, and the poor rank & file have lost their investment, they will feel "special" as they meet together in a 'basement' of someone's home...
It will prove to them that "the slave" was once again 'right.'
