JW Abuse on BBC News !
by Simon in.
details of the panorama programme "child abuse within the jehovahs witness religion" were just announced at the start of the main bbc news at 10:00 !.
correct me if i'm wrong but i can't remember them ever doing that for other programmes (although we may not have paid so much attention before).. they showed a clip of people being baptised at a dc ... very 'whacko' looking.

Belief in God ( The Problem with Evil) Correction
by JT inmy wife and i are back in school again and we are in a philosophy class and the issue of god has come up in the research material and the following is under consideration for us- .
being involved in trying to explain the reason that god permits wickness i find the explanation that i use to use from the platform as a jw to be very weak to say the least .
yet i find that it is the same basic explantion given by most "beleivers" and it too is weak as tea.

Condemned By Their Own Words
by worf ini posted this on the old h2o board and i am posting it here especially for those who are still inside the wts and for those lurking here who may now be questioning the wts.. this taken from the watchtower bound volume of 1962 pages 112-114.. this article gives the bible account of 1 kings 13:1-28 in paragraphs 10-14. i will not quote the entire passage here because of its length but i suggest you read it when you have the chance.. the information presented in this article definitely contains the usual wts contradictions but this article is proof that any jw is not obligated to obey anything said by the wts whether the so-called direction comes from an elder, ministerial servant, co, do, city overseer, or gb member.. here are some of the exact words from this watchtower article under the subheading "avoiding presumptuous acts" :"what does the christian learn from this?
to be constant in faultless walking in jehovah's eye's, always seek his direction, especially at perplexing moments in life.
never push ahead presumptuously either on our own ideas or upon the urgings of someone else, even though that person may occupy a responsible position in god's organization.

Halt On Building Work! Update
by freeborg inover a week ago a comment was made regarding a global halt on all kingdom building work.
these rumours started in the united kingdom and came from a number of sources.
as per usual the truth of the rumour is a bit different from what is said on the witness grapevine.

Why Are We Still Here!!!!
by freeborg in*** w80 10/15 31 questions from readers ***.
as indicated by an article on page 56 of u.s. news & world report of january 14, 1980, if you assume that 10 is the age at which an event creates a lasting impression on a persons memory, then there are today more than 13 million americans who have a recollection of world war i. and if the wicked system of this world survived until the turn of the century, which is highly improbable in view of world trends and the fulfillment of bible prophecy, there would still be survivors of the world war i generation.
however, the fact that their number is dwindling is one more indication that the conclusion of the system of things is moving fast toward its end.. the above is taken from a 1980 watchtower which said it would be highly improbable that we would see the turn of the century.. is it just me or are we all still here in 2002!!!!

Care for the Anointed
by freeborg ini have just read the thread that was started with the comment regarding the anointed.
it brought a smile to my face because not so long ago my wife was still working in a nursing home for jehovahs witnesses run by witnesses.
she had been there for over five years and in that time-helped care for five of the anointed class.

"15 Minute Publisher" ?
by freeborg inthanks for all the comments regarding the leaflet on my previous post, all have been read.
if we can all take action in our individual areas we become a mighty nation capable of causing havoc to those who have fooled us to many times.
i have another question to ask, recently i noticed a phrase used which was " 15 minute publisher ".
