Hi DD- I agree. Duh! Funny how the internet went from the 'thing of the Devil' to "God's channel" in a few short years.
Hello Apognophos, I agree the journalist didn't appear too seasoned. They did get a great picture of JW.org...Could they get the sign any bigger????? I just noticed that they chose the logo to be blue, signifying of trust, honesty and loyalty. UGH!

I apologize in advance if this was already posted. I did a search and didn’t find anything, but may have missed something. Hugs, 4 thgen
for those who are interested in this subject, especially researchers and historians, i posted on my website extremely rare material dealing with one man's struggle to avoid being drafted into the us military for religious reasons.. this is a huge downloadable collection of correspondence between richard rawe, his draft board and government officials after he was ordered to report for military duty.
richard saved every letter and even the envelopes from the time he was called up for military duty when he was 18 in 1952 until 1960 when he was 26 and too old to be drafted.. what makes this collection unique and special is that there are many, many important private letters from watchtower attorney, hayden covington to richard containing instructions and advice.
this is historical material that allows us to peer into the legal mind of covington with regards to the draft situation during that time period.
Thanks again, Barbara
scare tactics and manipulation in the nov 2014 watchtower .. low down dirty rotten charlatans.

brief summary:.
the jws, backed by county commissioners, contend they have a legal right to build an assembly hall in the jedd.
I guess the scriptures about 'pursuing peace' doesn't apply when real estate is concerned. Between the legal battles over property and the abuse lawsuits, I just wonder how big their legal team is. Funny, the JW's will all agree with the religious discrimination. So sad.
its not like there was anything wrong with them was there?
i used to love the old ones.
these new ones feel like the equivalent of a deflated balloon.. does anyone have the answer?.
i cant figure out how some persons like my husband and son, simply got too 'busy' and gradually stopped going to meetings, and were totally left alone, and yet some persons.
seem to indicate that people were constantly in persuit of them, for a way to disfellowship them.. the ones who fade never get 'disfellowshiped' unless they write a letter formally requesting thier name be of the membership.. just like the jw org tells people who get baptised to do to thier former church,.
i havent been to a meeting in a few months however it is also under a 'remodel' im sure im not missed.
If you piss off the wrong person they may come after you....
in the past few weeks, my wife has been seeing more and more the lack of love and caring from jws.
for example, she is organizing a "princess party" for our 4 year old daughter.
a couple of the parents have expressed reservations about this since they think princesses may be "too magical" even though we know they have been to disneyworld, and watch the disney channel.
Congrats! Good advice so far....I'd like to add: validate, validate, validate.
hi everyone, this has been what i have waited for, fredrick mclean is up next on cnn's "most wanted" and "hunted show", so far two of their topics are dead!.
last sunday's "the hunt" blew his head off monday morning!
let's hope cnn get's jehovah witness fredrick mclean!
Thanks Bucket!
is it a feeling of---oh no!!?.
are you happy to see them?.
do you have a feeling of consternation?.
The other day while I was working in front of a bank at table for the Center for Prevention of Abuse, two pioneers came to visit me. My son advertently told them where i was....he did warm me of their visit ;().... I felt sick to my stomach when I saw them walk up to me. At the time I thought it was a coincidence.
"Oh, were you out in service?" I asked "Still am" the pioneer said. (Ew, can you feel the love????) They told me they missed me and I thought 'I haven't been at the hall in 3 years' yeah sure they miss me. (NOT)
The public visit was tense. I am so glad I am not with them anymore. It just galls me that they are using me for easy time. Grrrrr! Also, since they saw me at the table for the Center for Prevention of Abuse, I’m sure the rumor mill will start up again. Oh well….I just wish they would leave me alone!
