You know what I was thinking after reading alot of the comments above and then Doddle V said something of interest and got me to thinking. We all know of course the lies that the Society tells their congregations. But here is another example of their extreme hypocrisy. No JW is looked on wi th favour if they read ,"apostate literatature". Now lets look at the hidden Library of the Bethel. Locked as well. All of know that the Society has several books of spirtism not written by the org. and book about demonology, and bibles that are consider border line evil. Books that are anti jw. and now one of you mentioned that the society has the copy of CoC. Interesting isn't it. They preach and teach to abhor these pieces of literature as they are considered apostate. Anti Christ. Don't try and pull the wool over everyones eyes. They can use whatever reason they want to justify having literature that is demonic. I hate and deplore their hypocrisy. Of course this reminds me of what Jesus said about relgion when on earth that the scribes and pharisees and religjous leaders of his day where from their father the Devil and wished to do as he desired. White washed graves and dead bones inside. The org. is no different in my opinion then were the leaders in Jesus' day. Liars and evil. Misguiding innocent people that is the tragedy.If it weren't for men like Raymond Franz many would not have known of the indepth lies that are in the orgainzation. And of course he is not the only whistle blower. There have been many. So the org. thinks that disfellowshipping will supress the truth they are wrong. It will be made known. Now with the help of Bill Bowen and the silent lambs and the Andersons and for all the others who are brave to stand up to this Goliath Organization. God's blessing to all of you.And the Society can say and do whatever they want and unfortunately like many of us are were lead astray. We must advocate the real truth behind the name of the WTBS.. Outraged and standing up for the true truth, I am your friend in stamping out their oppression to bring freedom to the humble who seek the meaning of being a true Christian.Love as always Orangefatcat
