it's very interesting comparing things that are removed.
for one, new world order and new world, new order, all being eliminated from everything.
just research nwo, "new world order", etc, to see.
Thought this thread deserved a bump, I don't know how I missed this when it first came out. I did hear of the new songbook when it came out but just figured there were some new songs.
The mind control of this cult is so obvious it's too bad so many are still trapped
a ted talk!.
very interesting!.

Excellent points:
"save the world through genocide"
"mental virus"
I guess the GB was talking about themselves when they write about being "mentally diseased".
Cults are a virus that needs to be treated.
I'm sure glad I was healed.
i saw this link on facebook (thank you watchtower uncensored):.

a witness and a lawer.
some times these people think they are above the law
if anyone was under the illusion that all baptized jw children become dedicated solely of their own volition, then hopefully this new video should be a wake-up call.. .

(unfortunately, due to the soundtrack i've chosen, this video is apparently banned in germany.
This guy is disturbing. Billions are going to die, and they're not getting in on your coat tails. If they're old enough to get a drivers license they're old enough to get baptised.

In the area where I live the, local police of a small suburb near a medium sized city sets up a speed trap at the bottom of a hill SL is 35 it you coast down the hill you may get to 45. Ticket for 10 over. it's just a revenue raising method so of course they're pissed at her for warning people
in this latest video instalment, anthony relates his horrifying experience during the bloody conflict in vietnam.
as a new recruit, he is forced to endure the terrible inconvenience of having his much-needed sleep interrupted by enemy mortar explosions, leading him to make a brave decision.... .

Sounds like Tony was a rebel.
They told him to go into the bunker to save his life and he refused. Now he's telling the Rank and File to crawl into his Watchtower bunker.
this well-reasoned youtube video explains it all.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kwjm5d9m1lm.
it seems that, in my haste to scrutinize the teachings of the governing body and see whether they are actually in line with bible teachings, i have overlooked one important factor which indicates that they really can be trusted as those "taking the lead" in god's organization..... ...apparently, their weekly meetings sometimes run past 5 o'clock!!
i would like to apologise for any undue criticism i may have levelled at the governing body on this forum or elsewhere.. if i had been aware of the above information, i would obviously have been far more willing to humbly accept their leadership.. .
Everything the man put together for the call, (all the research from Watchtower publications) he threw in the trash after talking to a member of the Governing Body. What does that tell you.
Why bother with all that shit if love is what really matters?
Oh and meetings on Wednesday's lasting all day and sometimes beyond 5:00, what a sacrifice they make.
They do really care about the rank and file
Sidlick prooved it when he told this guy he was barely in the truth. Those GB members can be so upbuilding.
i've just finished reading coc and it's truely a thought provoking book that's given me much to think about.. one thing that has struck me is the way rf was disfellowshipped and how he tried to reason with the elders on the jc.
a key point of reasoning was that how the elders could define the disassocated one he ate with as "the antichrist" or one practicing the things described in 1 cor 9. apparently the elders either remain silent on the matter or said it was not for them to judge.. i thought the reasoning was really sound but i have been doing some checking on the definition of apostacy and the antichrist according to the society and it seems pretty clear to me that anyone guilt of apostacy becomes part of the antichrist.
characteristics of apostacy as defined in the it-1 book are described as follows:.
Well I think I might be guilty of "abandoning the Christian congregation"

i have been trying to wrap my head around the talk that introduced the slave as our mother?
the brothers at bethel are worried that we are not treating our spiritual mother with respect.
jehovah is our father, the faithful slave (the governing body) is our spiritual mammy.
Could it be Mother worship like the Catholic's?
They want to be worshipped (followed no matter what they say)
