  Concur Gary1914:

  "The truth that they alledgedly have should be able to withstand any amount of questioning..............."

  IMHO a text-book case of concise, balanced, understated, and factual reporting. Sketching the essence in this seemingly simple way is often harder then it appears to be... traces of emotion and adjective could cloud the message and defeat its purpose.

  Let them be condemned by their own words and let their "loving measures" speak for themselves.

  Facts could evoke emotion in others, like Nathan confronting King David with his own overzealous judgment and rationalized actions.

  To pure joy, non-judgementalism and true loyalty!

  i have been lurking in this site for more than three years now.

  i want to thank the people who work to maintain this forum, for as in the the case of hundreds of others in need of help, this site has been key in my exit from the wt slavery and emotional recovery.

  it was in this site that i learned about ray franz.

  Is Gerard the FD&S..?
  Sorry, cheap humor can be a catalyst to deprogramming.
  Come out of the closet and take a deep breath of fresh air!
  What a great way to start the new year.
  You are most welcome - you've probably been here a lot longer than I though.
  Any hint as to the country of origin of this apostatism? What's going on out there?
  Aint there any Mexican or Japanese apostates?
  Come out you non-USA lurkers and let's kick some serious Brooklyn ass!
  Sorry, shouldn't pry - aways interested in state-of-the-art non-American apostates.
  Too much champagne... 15 min to 2006 here...
  Edited to say: great avatar...Edited to say: Female Rowan..?

  What's this all about..? They look real happy.
  Has he just become an apostate..?
  I see none of the other guys wearing a tie...
  
  Sorry, I see one. I sense some sarcasm though. Perhaps he got laid the first time.

  sorry to regurgitate some "old light" onto your keyboards folks, but i came across the following link: .

  http://www.unhchr.ch/huridocda/huridoca.nsf/0/66cf0523c6217c4b802567cc002f8b0e?opendocument .

  it shows how the wts was represented by three different observers from three different ngo's at the annual meeting of the human rights commission of the united nations in may 1999: .

  Ollie Oz,

  They where represented by other associations. When the WTS says that they are not involved with the UN, they are right. The Watch Tower, Bible and Tract Society is not involved. The association of European Jehovah's Witnesses is involved, as you read in the UN document

  Yeah, I had a gut feeling: I was the one who presented those facts in the first place.

  I am very good informed about the WTS policy's and what they are doing arround the globe.

  We're all experts on that here Oz... Now where is the proof?

  I now much more about JW officials. But at this moment I will bring these facts not on the net.

  Are you implying you have previously undisclosed information AND the proof to back it up? C'mon Deep Throat OZ, please give us a hint now will ya..?

  when it becomes playing with words by WTS. . That's the way it works at the moment in Adamsstreet

  Gasping for breath now...

  The Dutch branche has a very low status in WTS world

  Since you are living so close to it, does that explain you're such an oracle of sensational disclosures?

  "Jammer van je nickname, ik ben nooit fan geweest van deze man, maar dat doet verder niet ter zake".

  Fans of mine were indeed few and far between. You may call me Tom Poes though...

  blood banks which they never "give to" but will "use" to their own means

  Striking analogy, Sunspot. The conceited arrogance and blatant double standards are so in our faces that we often fail to recognize them for what they really are.

  Likewise, I have indeed never heard any explanation for this moral distortion you mention here.

  I could never understand how you weren't allowed to store up your own blood because it had to be spilled out on the earth. Your own blood didn't constitute any of the health risks they were always touting about either. Yet you were allowed to use 99% of the fractions from somebody else's blood bank donation. No blood needed to spilled there...
