  Hi Simon.. of course the videos are one sided and can only remain so because the other man is dead so he can not make any and his version of events can never be heard.

  What these clips do show however is that Zimmermans story is full of contradictions and flaws that can be clearly be heard from his very own mouth.

  What even any of us may consider facts or evidence or truth about any of this, the issue and fact remains that not one person here know the real truthabout this situation and what really went down.

  There is no point in arguing about any of it.

  Simon you seen to have way too much faith in men and jury decisions. As I said before maybe we have to go along with with their judgements and decisions but that does NOT MAKE THEM RIGHT, TRUE OR JUST.

  Of course in this case you agree with them as it supports all your previously expressed and pre -determined notions. But that again is not truth either is it now. It's just your opinion, mixed with your desire, and peppered with your prejudice.

  @Simon..
  
  I have been reading your comments and you speak with the authority of someone that was actually there and witnessed everything first hand. You speak of 'evidence' and 'facts' with the same surety and confidence that the society does. Did you learnt this habit from them I wonder? Not one person here can ever claim to know what happened that day as you seem to keep doing.. to have all the truth and facts on the matter. It's all just hearsay and he-said she-said . To say any different is simply a lie. And I thought we were all here because we don't like lies? Judges, courts and jurors also are no guarantee of the truth either as the history of unsafe convictions and bad judgements, imprisonments and the executions of innocents in the US testify.

  To also simply write Taylor off with the "he was on drugs" when the analysis showed that there was but a small trace of marijuana in his blood is just a bit ignorant. You sound like an elder now. No disrespect and I'm not sure if it's your intention but do you realise that your coming across as quite hostile, narrow, aggressive and somewhat racist yourself? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b7gkFCP4f54

  Don't ever....ever...EVER forget these came from the FDS and Governing Body

  we do well to bear in mind that among the drugs, serums, vaccines, surgical operations, etc., of the medical profession, there is nothing of value save an occasional surgical proceedure.

  their so-called "science" grew out of egyptian black magic and has not lost its demonological character.... we shall be in a sad plight when we place the welfare of the race in their hands.

  [1] 1. the golden age, aug. 5, 1931, p. 727.. the journal of the a. m. a. is the vilest sheet that passes the united states mail.... nothing new and useful in theraputics escapes its unqualified condemnation.

  "Tonsillectomy is called a minor operation. If so, getting well is a double major. If any overzealous doctor condemns your tonsils go and commit suicide with a case-knife. It's cheaper and less painful."

  hi folks.

  i apologize if this is old news to some, but it's news to me.. i stumbled on a comprehensive list of all the sold properties on wikipedia on this link... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/watch_tower_bible_and_tract_society_of_pennsylvania#brooklyn_property_sales.

  it's just a mind-boggling amount of money, and useful information to have handy when talking to witness relatives.

  They themselves by even having that site are disobeying the org and rebelling against Jehovah.

  Quote:

  "Any website that is not the official website of Jehovah's Witnesses should not be trusted even if they look to be OK. The Organisation of Jehovah's Witnesses ask brothers not to have their own websites so if they don't, they are actually rebelling against Jehovah."

  It does not seem as though he mentions the Org by name but looking at what he wrote it's kind of unmistakable as to whom he is referring.

  I found something in Watchtower literature I can agree with.

  by Indian Larry in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i ran across this excerpt from studies in the scriptures vol iv.

  in it russell rails on as to why you should not tie youreself to any organization.

  in a way he unknowingly predicts how the watchtower would turn against real "truth seekers" in their own organization, (quite possible the only prediction he ever got correct) and then goes on to show how the deluded witness just can't see how they can have a relationship with christ without a earthly organization.. .

  Personally I am having great difficulty praying at all. After all that I have read and discovered concerning TTATT I am in that difficult and often very confusing position of having to re-evaluate and re-examine everything I have ever been taught and taken as 'truth'. Including God's name.

  I no longer know or am certain how to address him. Or if I even have any right to. The Jehovah's Witnesses taught me that I am not His son.. and that Jesus is not my mediator. So that kind of leaves me absolutely nowhere... and with nothing. Spritual limbo I think it's called. That's just how it feels, like I am nothing and nowhere. Alive.. but not quite existing.

  The MYSTERY of the Society's BETH-SHAN secret cult compound

  by Terry in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  1945 black and white photo of beth-shan (now hand colored):.

  beth-shan house built in 1939, ten years after beth-sarim on adjacent property.

  beth-shan, which means "house of security" in hebrew, was literally a house of security -(cult compound)*- it was accessed by a single dirt road that was guarded and gated.
