I can’t help but think tomo 3 may have been the person standing in the way of things moving forward. This combined with his drinking and loud mouth were what got him axed.

Broadcasts, Are they just a distraction?
by KerryKing inthe recent broad casts about not handing in time sheets, and then about beards, especially the beards, it seems so trivial, are those talks only released in order to distract the followers from the recent court case they lost on spain, from the csa cases, the kh sales and so on?.
i reckon they're taking their lead from the media, distract and divide tactics..

What If The Tower Fell?
by Big Dog inwhat if the truly unthinkable happened and the tower went down?
perhaps the irs swooped in and claimed fraud and padlocked the headquarters and kingdom hall doors?
or the gb took the money and ran to a nice non-extradition country to live out their years?

I just hope what ever happens the beast lives long enough to surpass my father, and I think I may get my wish. He’s not in the best of health now. He is largely unaware of the various scandals, and internal pressures that wt is facing. To be honest he is better off left in it, and I both shield him from knowing and encourage his involvement. For it to fold, or for him to wake up, is just not a viable option. F*CK YOU WATCHTOWER.

Lawyers release survey on alleged Jehovah's Witness child abuse
by Tahoe ina team of lawyers has released the results of its survey on alleged child abuse by members of the jehovah's witnesses religious group in japan.. the team held a news conference in tokyo on monday.
it provides legal support to former members of the group as well as to children of its members.. the lawyers conducted the survey, following the publishing of the health and welfare ministry guidelines last year about child abuse related to parents' religious beliefs.
a total of 560 people responded.. the survey shows 81 percent of the respondents said they had cards indicating they desired to refuse blood transfusions.. the ministry's guidelines state that parents' refusal of medical treatments for children on religious grounds amounts to neglect --- a form of abuse.. the lawyers said investigations are necessary to find how many people died from refusing blood transfusions, and how many of them were children.. the survey also shows 92 percent of the respondents experienced whipping, 96 percent were banned from school activities, and 93 percent were forced to limit their human relations.. the lawyers said many of the children experienced physical and mental abuse, which afterward led to problems such as loneliness, sense of alienation and a lack of self-esteem.

When I was a very young boy I was caught smoking with a bunch of neighbourhood kids. Luckily I was caught the first time, by my ( kind of) JW Grandfather. Fortunately this would prove to be the first and the last time I ever tried smoking. Let’s just it was case of “spare the rod, spoil the child.” What I received from my Grandfather was enough to put me off smoking for life.

I have said this many times and will say it again. Leaving a controlling religion is one thing. But forgetting that the body is the temple of God, and to be kept free of the defilements of the flesh, is quite another. Ignore that, and you’ll ultimately pay for it.

For those that say that wt is lying about their numbers. This is just speaking from the country i live in. The census figures, for the country I live in, has always been twice that reported by Wt. It’s always been like that, and still is to this present day. My argument, here in, is if Wt were lying there would be a formidable gap between the two figures. There simply isn’t. The above post I made is confirmed in the video I posted, made by an X/LDS you tuber.

Boogerman: Please consider the following. What I think gives this so much credibility is it’s been looked at from an LDS Perspective.

I remember many years back they released a tape version (I think it may of even been before CDs) of various renditions of the Kingdom Melodie’s. If memory serves me correctly some may have even been sung by GB members. I was PIMI at the time of its release, and I played it over and over trying to get a vibe from it. But quite frankly it was terrible, but hey I sincerely tried.

Former Jehovah's Witness admits: We targeted grief-stricken as 'ripe fruit'
by Londo111 inhttp://www.stuff.co.nz/dominion-post/news/80708572/former-jehovahs-witness-admits-we-targeted-grief-stricken-as-ripe-fruit.
jehovah's witnesses target grief and see the recently bereaved as "ripe fruit" for conversion, a former elder of the faith says.. vince and michele tylor spoke out after reading the story of wellington woman jean sergent-shadbolt, who received a handwritten letter from a jehovah's witness three months to the day after her step-cousin, friend and flatmate died.. a current senior elder of the faith says it has no policy to target grieving, and those who do so are acting on their own initiative.
however, he concedes such people may feel guided by jehovah's witness literature.. but vince tylor said he knew of members who would trawl though obituaries to find grieving people, or visit cemeteries.. "not only do we see watchtower printed material suggesting and supporting writing letters from obituaries such as what jean received, but we even have reports and articles of encouragement for jws to go to cemeteries to look for people as well.".

That’s the advantage you have over me. I live in a country that was discovered about 250 years ago. One of the reasons it has a reputation for its natural beauty because humans haven’t been here long enough to wreck the place. I get neither the history nore the cultural diversity that you get grrr.
