DISFELLOWSHIPPED FRIEND FIGHTING WATCHTOWER SOCIETY TO SAVE DAUGHTER'S LIFE NEEDS HELP: In Calgary, Canada a JW called here "Shunned Father" is being shunned by his wife and daughter because after reading the Bible itself (likely verses in Matthew 12) he determined it is scriptural for his daughter to have blood transfusions which are being used to save her life from cancer. See for example http://www.canoe.ca/CNEWSLaw0203/27_jehovah-sun.html Although he authorized this to be done and it has been working, the Watchtower Society has sent in attorneys to keep fighting against him, running up legal bills, and put out a lot of propaganda trying to make their anti-transfusion policy more palatable. The father must, by court order, be anonymous but he writes:

"It is important that interested persons receive my P.O. Box number and how they can send donations if they wish to help out in paying my huge legal bills. Even words of encouragement would be much appreciated. Mail can be sent to: SHUNNED FATHER; P.O. Box 20161; Calgary Place R.P.O.; Calgary, Alberta T2P 4J2" Or if mailing to "Shunned Father" is too vague for you, mail to the authorized parties below: SHUNNED FATHER; c/o Mr. Robert Calvert; McCarthy & Tetrault; 3300, 421-7 Ave SW Calgary, Alberta T2P 4K9 Add a note specifying that any donation by you with the mail is to go for helping pay the legal defence bill of "Shunned Father."

Shunned Father notes that "Donations can be sent to a trust fund set up by fellow employees to help pay my legal expenses. Cheques can be made payable to: Alberta Treasury Branch Account number 07109 219 1182412 01 " What if the nearly 1,000 of us in this egroup each sent him just $5 to fight the Watchtower Society's legal hounds? Surely $5 is easy to send, so please act now and not just for Shunned Father but to keep the life of his daughter safe!

WATCHTOWER SOCIETY STOCK INTERESTS RAISE EYEBROWS: The Watchtower Society (WTS) over Jehovah's Witnesses owned 50% shares in REGI (Reg Technologies Inc.) which in turn was a shareholder of Alliant TechSystems which developed Rand Cam engines for jets. Proof the WTS is connected with REGI is at
http://www.tenkwizard.com/blurbs.php?repo=tenk&ipage=1098910&exp=watchtower&g= More proof that the WTS owned Alliant Techsystems was boldlettered in Reports of April 04 and May 11 of 1995 at http://www.regtech.com/press/press1995.htm, but last heard those had been hurriedly removed likely by the WTS or its business associates right after they learned dissident researchers were onto the story.

On March 22, 2002 Alliant TechSystems bought Boeing's Mesa, Arizona-based ordnance division at an estimated $50 million. (Defense Daily International/PBI Media via COMTEX) Why? Paul Miller, ATK's chairman and CEO said "This is a sound strategic acquisition that will strengthen our munitions lane of excellence by bringing together ATK's munitions portfolio with the products and capabilities of one of the world's leading military gun producers...The gun systems produced by the Boeing operations use our existing medium-caliber ammunition products." Here is a link to the Walls Street stock market about Alliant TecSystems's statement on the shares market, and it has all the recent information about ATK: http://www.wsrn.com/apps/links/?s=ATK Also see about ATK this link http://www.wsrn.com/apps/news/art.xpl?id=4049558&f=NEWS&s=ATK Even more details about the preceding can be seen at: http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/forum/post.asp?id=307252&method=reply&site=3

To some, even many, it appears highly hypocritical that the WTS has not renounced its 50% share in REGI, especially since March 22, for REGI in turn holds stock in ATK which just bought the military ordnance division of Boeing, because of the fact that if a regular Jehovah's Witness member of the WTS were to accept a job as a janitor at a military business, he or she would be disfellowshipped which means severe shunning by all JW family and friends.

EGROUPER WITH PERSONAL STORY ABOUT SUICIDE: "I'd like to reply to the newsletter on suicides- I was a JW for 14 yrs and left my husband because he would not change and this was causing our only daughter severe emotional problems due to the control and manipulation the 'Society' teaches us to have as parents. She attempted suicide after she ran away and we found her 600 miles from home. She was hospitalized but her father had her come home "to face her problems" those problems were counseling from the elders. She had been doing better in the hospital but nevertheless, he pulled her out and we took her home. She did attempt suicide again and ran away again and was returned to me by the police because she hated her father. At that time she wouldn't even speak to him. She was hospitalized again. This all happened 2 yrs ago. She is again speaking to her father who is still a JW and unfortunately is wanting to attend 'meetings' again although she was treated with the greates of disrepect.
When I left my husband I left everything I had know for 14 yrs, friends, home, a spiritual haven. I was hospitalized for suicidal ideation 2 yrs ago and last month for an attempt. This organization is frightening the way they ruin our minds. I'm working diligently to heal from the pains it has caused me. But the thought of losing my 18 yr old daughter to that organization is sickening. I pray daily the eyes of her heart will be opened. This egroup is very helpful for people like me and I thank you so much for your hard work. anonymous"

GEORDIE ON JW SEX ABUSE IN U.K. MAGAZINE: "The story takes up 2 pages in Womans own magazine and has a photo of the J/W father who abused his daughter. The story is entitled.... "Church of shame" and starts..... After being sexually abused for years by her father, Alison Cousins turned to her local church for help. But she was turned away and told to keep quiet. This is the harrowing story of her fight to be heard. If your in the uk its in the shops now. go
out and buy it. It is the March 25 issue." And Englisman replied "I'm told that "Woman's Own" is the most widely read woman's mag in the UK, it appeals to women of 30+ with families. One thing is for sure, it's one of the few mags that witness women feel OK with, so this will put the cat amongst the pigeons as far as the sisterhood is concerned." http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/forum/thread.asp?id=24366&site=3

BODY IN SHROUD DATING CONTEMPORARY TO CHRIST FOUND: The bones of a man, some DNA and a shroud that are dated to the time of Christ have been found in the Field of Akeldama mentioned in the Bible. Apparently the man died of tuberculosis and was of a high or priestly caste, possibly even knew Christ. The Daily Telegraph says more on this find will be broadcast on Easter Sunday.

bethelite kills self because of guilt 10/31/73

I believe New Boy is saying by staying in and helping at Bethel he felt he had been part of the system that so unloving. Leaving Bethel relieved him of the guilt and in looking back he just wishes he had left sooner.

New Boy names the suicider as James Olsen and says James suicided because Max Larson and others in the Olsen family made James feel guilty for having leaving Bethel when James unable to take the stress that being there caused him. Mental harassment in the Bethel, "the House of God," led to the suicide.

Max Larson, innocent blood is crying out at you. The real Jehovah knows what you did.

Just In: Andrea Yates To Be Executed

The State of Texas will execute Andrea Yates for the murder of her children. The jury decision was just announced. She had choked and drowned her children to death, five in all. Many believed her severely depressed and insane, including her husband her after the pronouncement hid his face in his hands though Yates herself seemed to take it without expressing emotion one way or another.

The husband is a former Jehovah's Witness. It is not known if his wife ever was including for when the killings occurred. However one wonders if the views etc that he and his family were subjected to while at least he was a JW may have somehow contributed to this grave tragedy.

Earlier in 2002 two JWs in Chicago were arrested after having beaten their teen daughter Laree Slack to death with a thick electrical cord. The organization emphasizes that men are to keep their wives and children in subject, and that sparing the rod spoils the child.

Do-Not-Call Flyer Text: Your comments please.

by expatbrit in

jw
friends

i jotted down a draft for a flyer aimed at the general public who know next-to-nothing about the jw's.

i've tried to be calm and rational in the feel of the text, to avoid giving the impression of having an axe to grind.. i think having suggested pro-forma letters on the back of the flyer would be good, perhaps with the addresses of the local congregation and branch office already filled in.. the flyer would need to be tweaked for different countries where, for instance, not-at-home slips are no longer used.. so, please let me know what you think.

be brutal!.

Easter, What Is The Real Truth

easter, what's the real truth: previously, and as found in most encyclopedias, most scholars took the view of "the venerable bede" who in 8th century england speculated that the name easter may have come from the name for the anglo-saxon goddess eastre.

but closer research shows several other possibilities.

one is that the name more likely came from the latin for "white week" that spring week when people wore white to be baptized as christians.

EASTER, WHAT'S THE REAL TRUTH: Previously, and as found in most encyclopedias, most scholars took the view of "the Venerable Bede" who in 8th Century England speculated that the name Easter may have come from the name for the Anglo-Saxon goddess Eastre. But closer research shows several other possibilities. One is that the name more likely came from the Latin for "White Week" that spring week when people wore white to be baptized as Christians. The Latin expression Hebdonada Alba (White Week) was misunderstood as the plural for the word dawn and mistranslated into Old High German as Eostarum. Another possibility is that Easter came from the Anglo-Saxon word "eastre" akin to the words easterly or eastern, that is something that came from the East which is logical since Christianity entered Germany and England in Western Europe from the east, that is the Middle East. A lesser possibility is that it derived from the Bible's speaking of Christ as someday returning to resurrect people from out of the east. Of course there might also be a combination of possible reasons for the name.

In any event, when Christianity reached Germany in the 1500s the Christians there symbolized the resurrection hope, that is new life, via rabbits and eggs. This was because from eggs clearly come new life, and also because rabbits were well-known for appearing first here and then there which is exactly how Christ did, appearing in first one place then another, after he was resurrected. Some modern persons have attacked the celebration of Easter by promoting in writing their theory that the continuing usage today of Easter rabbits and eggs is a vestige of ancient fertility or sex rituals that pre-dated Christianity, and so this day that is so highly esteemed by those of different beliefs is, they contend, tarred with an immorality that God could not possibly find acceptable. Such criticism from some persons is well-intended because it comes from a lack of full knowledge and such critics having been mistaught, and it is true that some ancient cultures used colored eggs to symbolize different ideas or as part of worship as when, for example, the Chinese, have used eggs dyed red to symbolize good luck.

Therefore we can conclude that those not celebrating Easter from lack of correct knowledge, or who out of honest doubts and sensitivity do so, deserve our respect too but yet we can also feel free to educate them to the real truth about Easter, the rabbits and eggs, even as those who honorably observe the day and its traditions also deserve full respect, which is exactly what Paul counsels at Colossians 2:16. This carries over to other things, for usually those with misinformation they call The Truth about Easter are also persons taught that Christmas trees and Santa are pagan instead of the real truth, which is that the most recent research shows the tree began as the tree of paradise used in Medieval church plays and Santa came from Saint Nicholas a famous Christian giftgiver who who wore red and also lived during Medieval times, not derived from a wizard or ancient god. Please note that Romans 14:1-5 grants Christians great freedom of views.

SHOCKING FACTS TOLD OUT OF LOVE TO THE CONGREGATION & PUBLIC: The
Watchtower Society (WTS) over Jehovah's Witnesses (JWs) cover up
child molestation and let pedophiles go door-to-door as proved at
http://www.silentlambs.org. They say God opposes the UN but, until
exposed, in 1991-2001 were a formal UN associate not just to use the
UN's library as proved if you read the Nov 22, 1998 Awake magazine and 2nd entry at http://www.unhchr.ch/udhr/materials/articles.htm. 1 Cor 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. In contrast the WTS has formal Judicial Committes destroying families via numerous formal renderings of disfellowshipment (severe shunning).

Acts 15:20 says abstain from blood but 1 Sam 14:32-5 says Saul's army
ate unBLED meat to not starve and no verses show God not forgiving
them. Christ says God also forgave David's eating temple holy bread and that God wants Mercy Not Sacrifice. (Mt 12) The May 22, 1994 Awake
tells of 26 JW kids who died without transfusions, and by common sense in massive bleeding as in car wrecks blood expanders won't save lives http://www.ajwrb.org. About 3 JWs die daily earthwide from the
unscriptural policy! (Blood On The Altar by David Reed) Why must
anyone be endangered? JWs can form nonWTS groups united by LOVE, join
another group or decrease donations & support to the WTS. Please make
and use copies of this for years ahead. It was written out of love for our JW families and friends as well as the public's - yours too!

HECHOS TERRIBLES DICHO A CAUSA DEL AMOR A LA CONGREGACIÓN Y AL PÚBLICO: La Sociedad de la Atalaya (SA) sobre Testigos de Jehová (TJs) esconden la molestation de niños y dejó que los pedophiles vayan de casa en casa http://www.silentlambs.org a domicilio. Dicen que Dios opone la ONU pero, hasta que fue expuesto, en 1991-2001 se asocie de manera formal con la ONU y no solamente para utilizar la biblioteca ONU como muestran las pruebas visto en el periodico Despertad! de Nov 22, 1998 y por medio de la segunda entrada a http://www.unhchr.ch/udhr/materials/articles.htm. 1 Cor 6:1 dice juezgan solamente cosas "triviales" de negocios, Diego 2:4-13 llama la juzgada dañoso, y Paul dice que la "mayoría " (2 Cor 2:6) siguió su consejo para evitar un hombre que hizo algo pecadoso, significando que la Minoría eligió a no hacer lo que consejo, pero él no los condeno.' En contraste la SA tiene Committes Judiciales formales que destruyen familias vía numeroros decesiones a excludir (el evitar/excomunicacion severo).

Hechos 15:20 dice abstenga de sangre pero 1 Sam 14:32-5 dice que el ejército de Saul comió carne que tuvo sangre para no morir de hambre y ningunos versiculos muestran que Dios no los perdono'. Cristo dice que Dios también perdonó a David cuando comio el pan santo de templo y que Dios no desea el Sacrificio sino la Misericordia. (Mat 12) Despertad! de mayo 22 de 1994 dice que 26 ninos de TJs murieron sin transfusiones, y es facto que en choques de coches cuando uno pierde mucho sange cosas usado en lugar de sangre no pueden salvar la vida http://www.ajwrb.org. Diariamente en nuestro planeta 3 TJs mueren a causa de la polícia no escriptural! (Sangre En El Altar escrito por David Reed en ingles) Por que necesita morir otra gente? TJs pueden formar a grupos sin la SA unidos por EL AMOR, asistir a otros grupos o disminuir donaciones y la ayuda a la SA. Favor de hacer y utilizar copias de esto por años adelante. Fue escrito a causa de amor ambos para nuestras familias y amigos TJs así como para los del público - los suyos también!
