Sokay, Apo...I am quite used to being misunderstood.

And, what makes it even harder to be clear about issues is wading through the murky bullshit that is put out by the GB and the Watchtower Society. It is really easy to get confused when wading through the muck.

I feel pity for the poor judge that had to deal with the Watchtower Lawyer's arguments as to why the Society wouldn't cough up the discovery documents or the witness that the court asked for. If my position is hard to understand, just thank your lucky stars you didn't have to be the one on the bench.

Apognophos - I see that we have a misunderstanding happening here. I think you read more than what is claimed in my posts.

About the Morris thread - again...I was not the one who claimed that Morris may have a different name than what he goes by. My post was just a response with a photo that substantiated what the entire thread prior to my post claimed. My post was just what it appeared to be and nothing more - just some more circumstantial evidence to add to what had already been written.

Yes.

I believe you read too quickly.

There are plenty of people who remember the GB members when they were DOs, COs, and elders, back to their original congregations..... They are born-ins and converts who rose up through the ranks to where they are now.

That is EXACTLY the point I was trying to make.

I was not the one that claimed the GB have nothing to do with the running of the Society - LOSCH SAID THAT. Not me. Read the documents before you take my comment out of context.

My questioning was in response to what was claimed by Losch.

in 2014, authorities detected a rise in concentrations in ammonium lignosulphonate and fluoride, in violation of the on environmental protection federal law and water code of russian federation.. the prosecutors have filed a lawsuit against dumping waste into the creek.

ruled by the Father in Cremlin, who used to be the Czar, then was Stalin, then was Brezhnew, then is Putin.

Oh. So you don't really know the history of Russia.

Maybe Russia has just figured out what the Watchtower Society is up to - according to actual court transcripts from Russia - the Watchtower Society's lawyer's argument as to why the JWs should be allowed to set up camp in Russia is because the Society has over 200 doctors waiting to use advanced surgical procedures on them.

Nice...the Society went to the trouble of making sure there is medical staff all lined up to take care of all those JWs that the Society LOVES and tells to refuse lifesaving blood transfusions.

If you like...or if you can't find those Russian court transcripts yourself, I will search them out for you.

Thank you, Ann, for posting that link to the court document concerning the discovery papers and why Losch refuses to testify.

Apparently, Losch just 'appeared' out of nowhere (sort of...he says he came from Austria) and, up to the point in time that he became blessed with a position on the governing body, that he had no function whatsoever in the Society's business before that. I don't buy that - that is not how the Society works. However, Losch claims to the court that the GB does NOT have anything at all to do with the Society itself. Oh. Well then, who really is running the Society's affairs??

And it is just laughable how the Society lawyer side steps having to produce documents - claiming that it would take years and cost so much. Whatever happened to all the volunteers that the Society claims donate their work for free? And why would the Society bother to collect all that information on pedophiles and not file it properly?

It makes no sense whatsoever and I think that the bullshit meter is hitting pretty high on this one.

Knowing the Russian govt's recent enmity toward JWs, I'm not fully convinced of the accuracy of the report. We cannot rule out the possibility of trumped up charges in this case. I take the report with a grain of salt.

According to the website this is published on:

The Russian Legal Information Agency (RAPSI) was founded on Feb. 10, 2009 in coordination with the Russian Constitutional Court, Russian Supreme Court, Russian Supreme Commercial Court, and RIA Novosti. Due to the involvement of Russia’s highest courts, RAPSI is uniquely situated to provide its readers with exclusive information directly from the press services of courts of all levels and competencies.

I dunno....I will put my faith in this outside source long before I will hold onto the notion that the Watchtower brainwashed thinking is more accurate. The Watchtower Society has instilled the persecution complex so well in its followers and former members that it is sometimes hard to accept that trees do grow in the forest.

I think this report is accurate.

It is official they're selling off Kingdom Halls in Britain

by raymond frantz in

i posted here a week ago some disturbing news for congregations being consolidated in britain.

my goodness that was nothing !

a letter was read today from bethel addressed to all congregations in britain that can only be described as the biggest news for years.the main points:.

Okay...I will stick my neck out here and risk being labelled a 'conspiracy theorist'. Lol!

This is my theory as to why the Watchtower Society needs so much money now.

The field of biotechnology is a high risk venture. With all the circumstantial evidence out there that the Society is heavily invested in blood management, it stands to reason that something more than child abuse cases is driving the demand for more money. The field of biotechnology is hugely financially demanding.

The Society has already revealed its investments in bloodless medicine by its shameless promotion of the bloodless industry for years now - and all that costs big bucks. Almost all of the bloodless centers in the US are managed and staffed by Jehovah's Witnesses. The Health Care system in Australia exists through the efforts of two prominent JWs - Farmer And Hoffman.

Where is the Society money going? I think it is being sucked up by the demands of a developing bloodless technology industry.

Why is the Society behaving the way they are in regards to the child abuse settlements? Well, it provides a good smoke screen for the activities that the Society doesn't want anyone taking a close look at - how closely and tightly they are involved with bloodless medicine. A few million is nothing to throw out there when there are billions at stake in biotechnology research.

Biotechology investments will be taking a huge chunk of all those 'donations' to the 'worldwide work'.

Yup - you can call me a conspiracy theorist now. Lol!

Words that irritate

by punkofnice in

jw
friends

i have words that irritate me and not always without reason.. my latest hate is the word: 'solutions' as used by so many businesses in their title these days.

y'know, 'something innane business solutions' and such balderdash.. i loathe that word now.

arrrrggghhhhhh!

OrphanCrow

"Fruitage".

Fruitage of the spirit.

Arrrrgh. I hate that phrase. What the hell is 'fruitage', anyways????

And another phrase I abhor:

"I am sorry you feel that way".

WTF? How can someone be sorry for someone else's feelings? That makes no sense whatsoever. None. A person cannot apologize for how another person feels.

I want to slap people who apologize for my feelings. *slap* Ooops...did that hurt? Oh...I am sorry you feel that way.

Millerites, Jehovahs Witnesses and Purple Triangles

by Simon in

i came across this after posting another iq video to a different topic.

interesting how much the jehovahs witnesses are featured ... but it is because they are a millenial cult with failed rapture prophecies:.

Rebel, I am not sure which account is historically accurate When I found the photo, I thought the dress was more reminiscent of late 1800s fashion. I thought it possible that the photo was taken in 1874 - the 'first'Russell rapture.

And then there is the suspect source of the quoted version I have an inherent distrust of anything printed by the Watchtower Society.

Only in Canada, eh?

Entertaining video, Simon.

Here is a photo of one of Charles Russell's 'great disappointments'.

This photo was taken in 1914 in Jerusalem where Russell and some of his special friends went to await the 'Rapture'. Apparently, the whole miraculous 'Return of Christ; happened right there and then - invisibly.
