  Oh stop whining. We beat 'em up when they continue to trudge door to door bringing in fewer and fewer converts and then beat 'em up again for trying to be innovative. Credit to the JWs for taking a more flexible approach to placing product.

  Yeah.... lets credit a mind control cult for hiding their sinister designs in an innovative way... jeez dude, do you read what you write before you press the submit button? While were at it lets compliment child abusers around the world who are able to think of clever ways of keeping their victims quiet.

  The idea that every human deserves to die a torcherous death is extremely mentally unhealthy. Christ was not invented, Christianity/Original Sin was.

  i just saw this very short two minute video -- brilliant.

  it's gone "viral" on the interwebs/nets.

  i couldn't help but imagine that if a jw had been in this coffee shop, s/he would have been screaming "jehovah!

  I suspect the WTS mut be feeling pretty good about their own internal security...

  ...since it evidently was not confirmed in advance that the agm was going to be exclusively about releasing the rnwt.. i mean, we all kinda sorta expected it, but no one had a "smoking gun", as it were, officially confirming it.. in contrast, there was the leak, posted on this forum, of the july 15 2013 watchtower, a week or 2 before its official posting on jw.org.. .

  i'm sure the rnwt was a well-guarded secret - on the other hand, there has been a rnwt translation committee in existence for 5+ years.

  absolutely no one in the "apostate community" even hinted at this committee's existence.

  That's kind of my exact point - if there was a possibility of being wrong, then it wasn't really "known".

  There is a type of intuition that warrants trust when the facts are unavailable. Sherlock Holmes, if he were real, would call it the process of deduction. We knew that this particular annual meeting was special for a plethora of reasons. Because the meeting took place one week after the FDS change, we should have expected a sweeping change in direction. That direction just so happened to be the opposite of one Fred Franz who was the brainchild of the NWT. In just two short weeks they managed to dramatically distance themselves doctrinally from both Russell, by removing his FDS appointment, and Franz, by archiving and replacing his masterwork. The Watchtower is in the midst of a very careful process.

  What I imagine they are going for is what Rutherford would have wanted. He believed the object of adoration was the organization rather than a man which was Russell's approach. As Watchtower history shows, it's an extremely difficult task hiding the dreadful actitives of the leader of a cult of personality. It's such a fragile model because everything hinges on the actions of a single person and the cover up abilities of his entourage. It's much easier to direct the worship to an organization rather than any person because the organization can "do no wrong." As we have seen the organization can have a fresh criminal record and the members will explain it away as "Satan's lies." We see this organization worship not just in religion, but in politics and business as well.

  Check out this picture from the FDS article:

  

  ^ This is Rutherford's dream. It shows the unofficial leader of the Governing Body, Gerrit Losch, sitting down in the audience. The people in the picture are paying attention, not to the GB member, but the child. This is an actual photograph of their long term strategy in action which is to indoctrinate children. That little girl doesn't have the slightest clue what she's involved with. They have enough people now that they can sustain survival simply by having children which they put through a rigorous system of mind control. We are seeing child abuse in this photo and the question is what are we going to do about it?

  It's also important to note that while the people's attention is directed to the child commenting, Gerrit is centered in the photograph. The picture subtly tells who really is in charge, which is the whim's of 8 old men who are liquidating and running with their tales in between their legs upstate. They won't be able to hide forever.

  So, while the Governing Body may feel like they are basking in victory, the exact opposite is true. Everybody can see what they are doing because they are broadcasting it to the globe via the internet. They think they are untouchable and have the world in their pocket. How wrong they are.

  It was known for a while, but no one wanted to accept it because they are afraid of being wrong.

  by AndersonsInfo in

  i want to thank jehovah's witnesses new world bible translation committee for changing the words, "mentally diseased" as found in the 1984 edition of the nwt, to "obsessed with arguments," as found in 1 timothy 6:4 in the 2013 revised nwt.. on february 6, 2012, david splane, the overseer of the watchtower's writing department received an open letter from me which i posted below especially for new posters.

  the topic of my letter was in response to the writing department's statement that ..."apostates are mentally diseased" in their july 15, 2011 watchtower.

  the 1984 edition of the new world translation reads:.

  How are they going to justify their use of the term now that isn't in their Bible? Wow, they really think they are going to get away with it? That's funny.

  Does Matthew 24:45 read, "Who then is the Governing Body, whom the master has put in charge of the Watchtower to give them their food at the proper time?"?
