does anyone know if the wt believes that the nomadic tribes in africa and the pygmy tribes living in the rainforests will be destroyed at armageddon( tm)?

since these people have been living more or less the same simple lives for thousands of years in some of the remotest parts of the world, and also i guess there would be a problem with the language barrier, i'd take it that the wt hasn't really been able to spread it's false prophecies and dangerous medical and psychological practices, sorry - i meant "good news" in these parts of the world.

these days, during the age of the internet, i wonder what bill would have made of the wtbts?

i know that he had a lot of bile to spout at catholicism etc, but since the growth of the internet (and it's wealth of info about most things) sometime after his death in '94 i wonder what he would made of the watchtower and it's false predictions / paedophile protection etc.

anybody know if there are any comedians out there with good anti-watchtower stuff?.

email campaign against the watchtower

after reading the thread "sharon rowe to be df'd tonight" on this board, and reading the replies, i felt so sick at the watchtower organization that i felt the drunken urge to send the watchtower a very short (but straight to the point) email saying "f**k your organization and all your false prophecies, do you ever think about the many lives you've helped to destroy (if not totally destroyed?".

i sent it to [email protected] - it got returned 30 seconds later.

anybody else have a direct e-mail adress for this lying, evil, money grabbing cult?

Elders authority over non JW's?

1. watchtower
2. beliefs
just been looking at e-watchman's mailbag (a bit one sided to say the least.........), and there was a question from a girl who is studying with someone else who she's fallen in love with.

it seems that she's been told that they can't date until they've both been baptized - so she asked the e-watchman his advice.

the first sentence of his reply was "the elders in the congregation don't really have authority over those who are not part of the congregation".

i sent the following question to the e-watchman's question and answers page last week (as well as starting a thread about it here).

here is the question and e-watchman's reply: .

if the bible supposedly gives the true history of the world since the beginning, why doesn't it mention dinosaurs?
