it's been almost ten years since bethany hughes died - ten long years - and her father has fought tooth and nail to bring justice for his daughter.. it would be nice if we could have some sort of memorial for her, perhaps an online book of remembrance..

hi everyone, i am curious to the stance and opinions of those who are in the know.
my jw partner (we are seperated) applied for and got a job in a hospital working as a phlebotomist,.. odd i thought at first.
as i am aware they collect blood samples and deliver blood to wards for a sister (uk senior nurse term) for administration to patients.
I know a brother who worked as a nurse and refused to administer any blood transfusion. He asked to be transferred to another department. One can't help but think that if you train as a nurse, you will encouter some "conscience matters" along the way.
to make attendance at my second district convention "mentally out" both a little more bearable and meaningful, i decided to take some notes of key points as if i were an outsider studying the thought reform methods of jehovah's witnesses.
at first, i was only going to share these notes with my therapist, but inspired by the "parsing the watchtower double-speak" thread, i figured i would share my amateur analysis with everyone.
here are some of the highlights:.
Wow, so we mustn't doubt that Jesus is ruling over his Kingdom - then why is it we are not feeling the effects of his rule?

I was told the further away you get from Bethel, the less spiritual the congregations were.
Florida was referred to as a "spiritual wasteland"
i showed our pastor the link to the sparlock video and the following week, he speicifically mentioned the jehovah's witnesses have produced a dvd about a boy who plays with a magical toy and his mother asked the boy if he wanted to please jehovah or satan.. the pastor commented that the way the mother behaved destroys the imagination of a child and that god's love is conditional..

is any of this true?
historian, historian, david icke states, "...it was the rothschilds who funded the jehovah's witness operation into being, along with other illuminati bankerz (ie, kuhn, loeb, and co.), through "contributionz" by organizationz like the rothschild-controlled b'nai b'rith.
this was proved in a court of law in 1922. one of the key people involved in this was frank goldman who later became president of b'nai b'rith.
This isn't relevant, but I think I remember being told that the people listed on the marker below had some kind of connection to Russell, either belivers or family members.

What is the meaning behind the pyramid symbol on this headstone marker, placed quite near to Russel's marker?

i watched the sparlock video, it was puke making.
though my parents were not as strict as caleb's mother, i did identify with him, all those forgotten dreams and lack of opportunties.
what made me think is the opening line, "obey jehovah" - there was absolutely nothing in that video about jesus.
I didn't like the mother's way of admonishing Caleb. It was so black and white.
She used Adam and Eve as a way of telling her son what will happen to him if he makes Jehovah sad.
