Since you will be there why not put this or some of it there:
DEAR JEHOVAH’S WITNESS CONGREGATIONS (& PUBLIC): Please feel free to also share copies of this with JW elders and respond by emailing [email protected]
JWs have known the Watchtower Society (WTS) denounces the UN as ungodly but not that it became a Non-Government Organization of the UN: Proof of the listing as an NGO is in this alphabetical list: http://www.un.org/MoreInfo/ngolink/ngodir/NGODirAlph/alphabet.htm Definition of an NGO, how it agrees to quote the UN, UNESCO, UNICEF etc is at: http://www.un.org/MoreInfo/ngolink/brochure.htm It became a UN NGO covertly in 1991 with the application signed by now deceased Governing Body member W.L. “Lloyd” Barry.
Leo Greenlees was a child molester whom fellow Governing Body members over JWs reassigned but never disfellowshipped (excommunicated/shunned) in the 1980s, and into Aug 2001 child abuse by Watchtower Society (WTS) associates was still officially covered up, causing costly destructive court costs and reproach including articles in Christianity Today and investigations by Dateline NBC. For copies of letters to the Bodies Of Elders regular members aren't shown including on child abuse see: www.silentlambs.org, freeminds.org, observer.org. Some members have reported elders resorting to physical harassment (poking, shoving etc), hinting "Jehovah’s eyes are everywhere" and giving details of the members’ most private conversations and bedroom doings with their own marriage mates. WTS heads put out articles saying for elders not to “police” the bedrooms in 1978 but later in a talk (but not in writing) in 1983 told regular members "The Practice" of some marital intimacies can lead to Expulsion. (discussed on Jehovahs-Witness.com) So regular JWs absent that evening have been "expelled" (harassed/trained) without clearly aware why. Contrast this to the pedophilia coverups. The "Insight" books by the WTS have articles on all Bible books except the Song of Solomon (also called Canticles) which has much positive marital imagery out of line with the Gov Body’s views of what is “holy.” Instructed to keep such things "in-house" when asked most elders deny the 1983-onwards policy in order to protect the Gov Body.
Acts 15:20 says abstain from blood but 1 Samuel 14:32-5 says Saul's army ate unBLED meat to not starve and no verses show God not forgiving them plus in Matthew 7 Christ says God also forgave David's eating temple holy bread and that God wants Mercy Not Sacrifice. The May 22, 1994 Awake tells of 26 JW children who died without transfusions, and common sense tells that in extremely massive bleeding as in car wrecks blood expanders won't save lives (ajwrb.org). Company-floated news articles about a “hemopure” cow’s blood substitute don’t note doctor fears of its dangers or that the WTS and its fronts may have stock interests as those are kept secret. About 3 JWs die daily earthwide due to the WTS’s unscriptural policy (Blood On The Altar) forgotten by many but not God!
Christ said families would be divided, some members doing good and others wrong but never ever advocated destruction of families. 1 Corinthians 6:1 only says judge "trivial" things as in business, James 2:4-13 calls judging harmful, and Paul says the "majority" (2 Cor 2:6), followed his advice to shun a wrongdoer, meaning a minority chose not to and yet he nowhere condemns them. So why the formal Judicial Committes destroying families via their numerous formal renderings of disfellowshipment?
All members are told to report on each other though the Bible condemns busy-bodying. Pages 302 in the Daniel book and pages 88 and 651 in the Proclaimers book show photos of the Knights Templar swords and the cross-with-crown-and-wreath used by Masons who sometimes use "Theocratic Warfare" tactics to change members' personalities on early WTS’s literature; some old books also have the winged sun god Ra on front covers - never a Christian symbol. Nor are regular JWs allowed to read Judicial Committee "sin files" that are stored with the WTS, many not even knowing they exist. (photos: freeminds.org) See the for-elders-only Pay Attention To Yourselves And All The Flock book. (p 232)
We may use Jehovah or variations of God’s formal name (Yahweh, Jah etc) but Christ says call God “Our Father” (Mat 5:9) and Paul (Romans 8:15) also says call God “Father” for closeness so why stress a formal form of God's name? To hallow Our Father’s name is to glorify His personage so haven’t top leaders apologized for often mispredicting dates for Armageddon or the Kingdom as shown in the dark green Proclaimers history (see index for dates). Didn’t Christ say "no one" knows the hour or day of the end and isn’t mispredicting a vain usage of God’s name bringing public reproach upon it! (Please Read Ex 20:7, Deu 18:22)
Verses say don't forget the poor (Galatians 2:10), give free (Mat 10:8), and Christ helped the hungry and sick, so why ask donations at doors since, as the New World translation puts it, "we're not peddlars of God's word" (2 Cor 2:17, New World)? 2 Tim 5:8 condemns those uncaring of their own so why after 120 years do WTS heads not have for needy JWs and others regular food-clothing collections, soup kitchens, hospitals, nursing homes--only token literacy classes, short term disaster relief committees existing briefly after disasters? What our hands do to help people is a greater witness than our mouths.
Watchtower leaders admit Christ was likely born about Oct 2, so why ignore he was conceived 9 months before which means late Dec. Why insist Christmas is from the pagan Saturnalia when John 10:22-3 says Christ also celebrated the Festival of Dedication or Lights, i.e. Hannukah, which first began Dec 25 but has varied since because lunar-based? Don't Job 1:3, 3:1 and 3:3 (you must read all 3 verses) show Job's kids celebrated birthdays? Didn't angels celebrate Christ's birth? Why call "compromises" those holidays that attacked and replaced paganisms? Doesn’t Colossians 12:16 says let none judge you about a holiday.
Regular members exposed Nazis but few know Germany’s Watchtower head Eric Frost betrayed them to Nazis. (www.observer.org) Betrayed during the Cold War, many East European JWs formed a highly conservative association in 1962. A Free Christians movement fellowships based on LOVE and Heb 6:1-2 basics. Associating independent cooperative Bible Groups (Active Christians of Jah etc) teach resurrection on Earth and to heaven but drop bad WTS policies: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/jahchristian
All who love Jehovah foremost remember it's best to worship and do His will, and Christ is the Most faithful, discrete slave, not the unrepentant Gov Body men in Brooklyn. This isn’t an attack on “JWs” but the “Watchtower” misleadership over JWs who include many of our loved ones! Our JW loved ones are told they must not read this material if given it by hand, but when e/mailed it most do quietly read it, some exit, most feel angry at first then quietly decrease support of the WTS
