April - A Month of Lying Propaganda ( WT 4/1&15)

    The April Fools Watchtower features "The Bible :Practical for Life Today". and offers this jaw dropping thought:

    "Do you feel that families would benefit from applying this advice? "Yes, " you may say "it sounds good in theory, but does it really work?"

    We invite you to visit the local Kingdom Hall of Jehovah's Witnesses."

    What visitors will no doubt fail to see at local Kingdom Halls is the mass exodus of young Jehovah's Witnesses out of the

    organization. Neither will they see the 'hooking up' or pornography downloads or weed smoking or open evidence of

    "leading a double life" as the Watchtower puts it. You will be greeted by a facade, plastic smiles and appearances that

    paper over the Prozac ( or is it Paxil? ) -depression filled congregations of Jehovah's Witnesses.

    It is nothing less than galling to read these lying screeds of propaganda while Witness families fall apart - AND more galling

    still - to read Watchtower instructions about shunning - all too often applied to teenagers who were coerced into baptism.

    The April 15 Watchtower wants to know "Will Cruelty Ever End? Apparently not, if Jehovah's Witnesses have their way -since

    they actively interfere in family life and maintain their cultish power by breaking up families thru enforced shunning,

    The above should surprize no one, coming as it does from a group of men who belong in prison. Somebody tell me the

    difference between what Enron did ( take peoples money and make bogus promises within a corporation) and the Watchtower's

    entire history ( take peoples money and make bogus promises within a corporation). The only difference I see is that

    the Governing Body deserve longer jail terms for committing fraud involving millions more people and across parts of three

    centuries!

    Times change, people change but you always count on the Watchtower never to change its self righteous , destructive boasts.

    Excellent thread Metatron! You're absolutely right: the GB members deserve to be thrown into prison.

    Somebody tell me the difference between what Enron did ( take peoples money and make bogus promises within a corporation) and the Watchtower's entire history ( take peoples money and make bogus promises within a corporation).

    Enron never claimed they had a direct link to God and that you would die if you left the company.

    It's really sickening isn't it. I can only imagine the syrupy photos that accompanied this drivel.

    The thing is, the white-hairs that have been at Bethel for 40, 50 years really believe that these self-congratulatory articles, and the accompanying Patterson-produced photos of packed-full congregations where everyone just obviously wuvs each other, are telling the truth! It's like, so much of the activity at Brooklyn and Patterson is geared towards maintaining the GB's fantasy.

    That was probably one of the best posts I've read since I joined. You said :

    Enron took peoples money but they got caught and went to trial. Ken Lay died before trail and Tom Skilling is sitting in jail for a long time. The difference is there is no one to prosecute the WTS. The lies are finally catching up to them but nothing will ever happen. Because they hide in the name of ''RELIGION'', they hide behind a wall that will never be penetrated.

    The fear of infringing on another's religious "freedom", and fear of ramifications of being charged with religious "persecution" has led to the tolerating, if not sanctioning, of otherwise criminal behaviours - in other areas of life and work people simply will not accept such a telling of lies and intimidating behaviours - some of us refuse to accept it in the religious arena as well - indeed, after reading certain laws of this state, I would suggest that a test case against certain aspects of their ways would result in likely prosecutions.

    Metatron, great point. Bilking millions of people for billions of dollars and offering nothing in return, well except judgement and impossible standards. LOL, Billzfan. Pee-Wee is funny. (Oh yea, I have been meaning to ask you are you really a Bills fan? I am, so that's why I ask) Faded-out

    The only time the WT isn't patting itself on the back is when it's kicking the publisher in the ass.
