Metatron:
I appreciate that post metatron, and agree with you whole-heartedly. What you wrote has been proven time and time again.
Thanks!
when a witness encounters injustices engendered by the watchtower and considers them.
with clarity of mind, he is likely to suppose that , at worst, the old men who run things.
are sincere but misguided.

someone recently posted a topic which included a link to a wt letter to bodies of elders.
the letter stated that if an elder confessed to having committed a serious (i.e.
disfellowshippable) sin a number of years ago, and nobody knew about it, he need not be removed.
This might be the letter your looking for. Please note paragraph 4 in the Watchtower letter.

How to handle with Child MolestersBy Rado Vleugel On June 1, 2001 the Watchtower Society of Britain send a letter to all bodies of elders about how to handle with child molesters in the congregation. The letter shows that it is no problem at all that elders and ministerial servants, who in the past have abused children, continue to 'serve' the congregation. The letter writes:

Thank you! And I sure hope that none of you have been harmed by being there. I know for a fact that Randy Watters (suffers) health problems from being there.
Take care!

Catholic elementary school test
Pay special attention to the wording and spelling. It comes from a Catholic elementary school test. Kids were asked questions about the Old and New Testaments. The following statements about the Bible were written by children. They have not been retouched or corrected. 1. In the first book of the bible, Guinessis, God got tired of creating the world, so he took the Sabbath off. 2. Adam and Eve were created from an apple tree. Noah's wife was called Joan of Ark. Noah built an ark, which the animals come on to in pears. 3. Lot's wife was a pillar of salt by day, but a ball of fire by night. 4. The Jews were a proud people and throughout history they had trouble with the unsympathetic Genitals. 5. Samson was a strongman who let himself be led astray by a Jezebel like Delilah. 6. Samson slayed the Philistines with the axe of the Apostles. 7. Moses led the Hebrews to the Red Sea, where they made unleavened bread which is bread without any ingredients. 8. The Egyptians were all drowned in the dessert. Afterwards, Moses went up on Mount Cyanide to get the ten amendments. 9. The first commandment was when Eve told Adam to eat the apple. 10. The seventh commandment is thou shalt not admit adultery. 11. Moses died before he ever reached Canada. Then Joshua led the Hebrews in the battle of Geritol. 12. The greatest miracle in the Bible is when Joshua told his son to stand still and he obeyed him. 13. David was a hebrew king skilled at playing the liar. He fought the Finklesteins, a race of people who lived in Biblical times. 14. Solomon, one of David's sons, had 300 wives and 700 porcupines. 15. When Mary heard that she was the mother of Jesus, she sang the Magna Carta. 16. When the three wise guys from the east side arrived, they found Jesus in the manager. 17. Jesus was born because Mary had an immaculate contraption. 18. St. John the blacksmith dumped water on his head. 19. Jesus enunciated the Golden Rule, which says to do one to others before they do one to you. He also explained, a man doth not live by sweat alone. 20. It was a miracle when Jesus rose from the dead and managed to get the tombstone off the entrance. 21. The people who followed the lord were called the 12 decibels. 22. The epistles were the wives of the apostles. 23. One of the oppossums was St. Matthew who was also a taximan. 24. St. Paul cavorted to Christianity. He preached holy acrimony, which is another name for marriage. 25. Christians have only one spouse. This is called monotony. Thanks! And a tip of the hat to ... Linda Alt Bonners Ferry |
the horrific scenes from se asia we have seen on tv over the past week will have an effect one way or another on many jws.
yes, the hardliners will see this as a part of the prelude to armageddon; "famine and earthquakes in various places".
(mat 24) this sort mentally dismisses the unequalled loss of human life, reasoning that most of these would have died at armageddon anyway.

The Armageddon message is going to be a difficult one to sell to the public over the next year, and I can see many JWs slowing down and beginning to ask some searching questions relating to this disaster.
I totally agree! I have already been receiving E-mails from friends who ask:
1. If the Governing Body of Jehovah's Witnesses (did not) forsee the Tsunami Disaster coming, then how in the world can they (forsee) even a (larger) disaster in the future such as that of Armageddon? After all, isn't God the (only) one who is supposed to know of the day and hour?
2. How many testimonies will there be by many of the people who were affected by the disaster, to the effect that Jehovah's Witnesses were there to aid, but they aided their own first, rather than offerred aid to ANYONE else at the time?
3. Why are there (different) stories coming from JWs that are (close) to the effected areas, than those stories coming from Watchtower Headquarters?
4. Why are there reports of JWs stopping to fill (water) jugs at unaffected facilities, when the Watchtower Headquarters, claim that (funds) have been allocated to supply the JWs fresh water?
5. Why do we see that there are indeed (trucks) that can arrive close to some of these affected areas, when the Watchtower Headquarters stated that (no) trucks, (such as their own) can be used to get supplies there?
6. Doesn't the Watchtower (own) a couple of Yaughts, that could get some supplies to areas that are hard to get to?
7. Couldn't the Watchtower put one of their (airplanes) at the disposal of some of the victims, and fly them back over here to the United States, if they are from here? Doesn't the Watchtower have Aviation approval to fly to other countries (anyway), due to the different Branch Offices being located in some of these countries (close) to the affected areas?
In-other-words, there are going to be a whole lot of questions that will arise from this. And the (whole) world will get a birds eye view of just how (loving) the Watchtower Society is to their fellow man!
Thanks Eyeslice!

Local News Paragould volunteers help build churches across state, beyond By HANNAH BURNEY Daily Press
PARAGOULD - Rome wasn't built in a day, and inclement weather forced Paragould volunteers with the Kingdom Hall of Jehovah's Witnesses to work at a slower pace than usual building a new church for the congregation of Jehovah's Witnesses in Hot Springs. Seventeen volunteers from Paragould helped with the project. At peak times, Friend said, around 400-500 volunteers could participate on the projects. ***************************************************************************************** ***************************************************************************************** ******************************************************************************** |

my telephone conversation with the watchtower society, was a sincere attempt to find out what active role the watchtower is taking to help the tsunami victims.
thursday dec. 30, 2004 / approx.
watchtower call on tsunami disaster.. 1-718-560-5000. wt-recording--thank you for calling jehovah's witnesses.. wt rep--jehovah's witnesses, may i help you?.
candidlynuts:
Thanks for your comments candidlynuts. I was at least glad that the Watchtower claimed to be providing fresh water. Right now, fresh water is a must for those poor folks. I do agree, that some of the answers I received seemed vague. But I also realize that the Watchtower higher-ups probably give the witnesses who answer the telephones an (outline) of what to say, and what (not) to say. Sort of like a (phone) presentation. Any questions that are different from what they are used to answering, they must have to refer you to a different department. I was surprized when the first rep told me that there (was no great loss of life), yet it was clear that (2) Jehovah's Witnesses had died. Even (one) death in my book is a (great loss). But I know what they meant. They meant it wasn't in the hundreds or thousands in numbers. I hope they will be able to do more since every (foot) of Dumbo property is selling for $600 to $900 dollars a (square) foot. That kind of money could sure go to saving a lot of lives.
Take care and have a wonderful new year candidlynuts!
i wish to extend my appreciation to the united states marine corp., united states air force, united states army, united states navy.
and a picture of the "chummy" airplane can be seen here:.
to see a picture of the taylorcraft army tg-6 glider, go here and scroll 3/4 of the way down and look for the plane under an old picture with a high tower 51 pictures down: go here:.
jws:
You write in your second paragraph, that you (assume). Yet the evidence shows the testimony of people who (were there). Eye witness testimony (to me) is much more reliable than (assumptions)!
The Taylorcraft Corporation has also published a book with the same information as listed in the post. Not to mention, that the information listed was (notorized) in front of (witnesses) who could (testify) as to the accuracy. Which again, is more reliable than (assumptions)!
We will be happy to wait for your reply from the Watchtower Society to (disprove) any of the above listed information. Please scan it to the forum when the Watchtower writes back with the information. OK?
Thanks!
