Why didn't Sadam........?
by confusedjw in
1. social
2. current
going back to the pre-war rhetoric it seemed to me that even the german and russian intelligence along with the english and american intelligence and previous inspectors all agreed that sadam had left over (and possibly made more) chemical wmd.

proof seemed to be provided about what they *knew* he had at *some point* and it couldn't be accounted for.. it seems obvious now that sadam did, in fact, destroy it long ago.. my question - why didn't he just prove it to the inspectors?

why not avoid all of this if he could?

from the e-watchman guest book: does everyone realize that the gb has readily admitted in the publications that they are not inspired of jehovah and do not have the gift of prophecy?

find this on your watchtower library cd: march 22, 1993 awake p.4 footnotes/ february 15 1981 p. 19/ je p.26 paragraph 4.

mad at god: (my response reformatted for this board).

e-watchman, thoughts from past topic
by confusedjw in
1. watchtower
2. scandals
i was looking back and a month ago there was a topic about e-watchman and who he was and why he would expose the wt with one side of his mouth and encourage loyalty with the other side.

i wonder if these might be the reasons.... 1. he himself claims to be of the anointed and truly believes he is helping to expose the "evil slave" amongst jehovah's people.. 2. by encouraging loyalty to the wt he doesn't scare away the numberous active witnesses who read his columns and send in questions.

they read and stay in the congregations.

NGO Why then?
by confusedjw in

2. scandals
what would be the *real* motive then, if not the library card, for the wtbts to become an ngo?

is it possible someone got confused or misinformed that they needed to become an ngo to continue with the library?

i can't for the life of me figure out the motive.
