Another "proof" that the C.O. is likely to bring up is the house to house preaching work of JWs. 'Who else is doing that?'
Mormons.

the internet is the archive for civilization.. watchtower cannot hide it's history.. are we seeing the beginning of a mass exodus out of her?.

mass exodus can happen if you and I unite and show Love to everyone...In order to be fulfilled in life you need to have love for everyone.
No. In order to be fulfilled in life, I need to know the difference between love and abuse.
I will not "love everyone". That would be insanity in action.

Except for that notorious apostate, Eisenhower!
Ah, yes, Ike.
But, for an 'apostate' he sure got a lot of mileage from the WTS!
The Jan 8, 1957 Awake! magazine featured Eisenhower in an article:
"America Still Likes Ike! - How the U.S. presidential campaign progressed, why it went the way it did, and what it means for the future"

Actually Hitler and the Nazi party were destroyed.
WT societies first prophecy to come true?
Not really. God didn't have much to do with that. A lot of men fighting and dying made that come about. Which, of course, the JWs had no part of.

Well, maybe you could say that once you figured out that the JWs are structured in exactly the same way as the Catholic Church's hierarchy - the GB are the same as the Pope - that you could not in good conscience continue to follow their teachings.

these trustees shall serve for life.

There is much written about Russell's will and how Rutherford shouldered out those who didn't support him after Russell died. But, what about those 5 women? I think I have even read somewhere that those five women were seen as 'the Bride of Christ' by Russell and that they were the ones who would receive 'divine direction' from Russell after he died.

i use to dream about designing a bathroom that was, well.

crazy.. today, i saw this photo and almost fell over.

obviously somebody else had the same dream!.
OrphanCrow

Lol!Terry - a bathroom like that would be a hit with kids. They wouldn't have to use the toilet - they could just pee on the floor!

I've always known I'd be ostracized if I ever came out publicly as an "apostate", but it never occurred to me that JWs might actually be scared of me.
They are terrified of you, Vidiot. Terrified.
I saw the look of terror in a JW's eyes when I opened my door one day. Standing on the other side of my door were two JW women that I had never seen before - total strangers.
But, they knew who I was - the first thing out of the one woman's mouth was "Oh! We aren't supposed to call on you!" I was taken aback a bit and asked her how she knew who I was. She replied that I had "been pointed out to her" once in public. I guess I am now on the 'official apostate list'. I never received a return visit.

can there really be any doubt now on how commercial it is?

if you thought the new kh design seemed commercial in nature, now imagine one of those halls turned into a jw store.

we know they exist.

Hmmm. South America, eh?
The 'brothers' sure are active down there...Jw..org has quite the presence in those countries - far more than way up here in Canada. Maybe if we had more political unrest here the JWs would come out of the woodwork.
