  In some German ex-JW essays a bank called "Watchtower Treasures" is mentioned.

  If the FDS was appointed in 33 C.E., then why did Jesus inspect in 1918?

  by Olin Moyles Ghost in

  2. beliefs

  first, some background: when i first began to have doubts about whether the jw religion was "the truth," i performed quite a bit of research on the faithful and discreet slave doctrine...in the society's literature, of course.

  like many of us, i had never really examined the doctrine.

  well, needless to say (but i'll say it anyway), i found major flaws in the society's interpretation of the parable of the faithful and discreet slave.

  It is because in 1918 many Bible Students split from the WTS. So, they had to invent an event that Jesus decided the WTS is the true religion and not the other Bible Students as well.

  Does the gov. bod. have expert independant advisors?

  do the brooklyn boys have outside help when it comes to making changes within the borg?

  i'm thinking in terms of man management advisors or public relations experts etc.

  or do they just make all the cock ups on their own ?

  GB Anthony Morris 2007 DC Talk DESPERATE PLEADINGS

  by doinmypart in

  2. friends

  gb anthony morris gave the final talk on friday's 2007 follow the christ dc.

  in the talk he gives reasons for the r&f to trust the fds specifically the gb.. the talk is nauseating, but shows how desperate the gb has become.

  they're losing control of the r&f and they know it.. jwd member booby originally posted this speech on the "gb solidifies ownership" thread.

  this infuriates me!.

  i really hope this monster is found competent to stand trial and at the very least goes to prison for the rest of his evil life!.

  he is not mentally ill he is just pure evil!!

  I am not too sure about Austrian law but this could mean that instead of going to jail for 15 years (well, he is 74 now?) you go to a clinic without any limit.

  Austrian man admits holding daughter captive

  by Lady Lee in

  i have been seeing reports on this over the day so thought i would bring it here.. austrian man admits holding daughter captive.

  an elderly austrian man has confessed to holding his daughter captive in a basement cell for 24 years and fathering seven children with her, police said monday.

  the 73-year-old man allegedly held his daughter elisabeth, now 42, and three of their children in a soundproof chamber below an apartment block in amstetten, a town near the austrian alps.

  This has also happened in other countries. Lydia Gouardo lives in France and was raped by her father for 28 years. Despite she looked for outside help, nobody cared and they brought her back to the perpetrator. Even when she told the doctors when giving birth to her six kids that her (step-)father is the father. Everyone in her village knew but they did nothing. She was not free before the perpetrator died.

  Lydia Gouardo has recently commented on the Austrian case. French press generally leaves this out. It is about pointing fingers but keep your own home clean. It is like the Watchtower. It is disgusting.

  Diary of a thinking to return ex-Jw

  by reniaa in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i thought long and hard about posting this but the mis-information on this site finally persuaded me, i already accept many may not accept what i say on face value and get their appologist pens ready for making sure no pro-witness propaganda slips through the net on this site but here goes....... i've been on this forum for a few months my first post was about how i was thinking of returning to jw's and at my sisters recommendation to look at this site for both sides of the story before taking that step.. i faded from jw's 10/11 years ago now i left my hubby at the time divorced him to going on to have more relationships and kids, i was definately given the impression after asking on this site and with what i read that if i tried to return i might face df or at least a jc but definately a couple of elders questioning me over what i've been upto these last few years - none of these have happened.

  i talked with an old jw friend (yes i do have then and she never shunned me quite happily accepted an offer of coffee from me and my asking for a chat) i told her i was interested in going back and was very frank about what i done in the last 10 years but not sure how returning was done now, she quite happily said she go ask for me to find out.. result!

  she came back this week and said "all i had to do was goto meetings again" and an offer of a study was there for me if i wanted it to explore the open doubts that i had expressed i now had.. not quite the fire and brimstone welcome this site led me to believe would happen.. i will keep you posted with further updates if i feel the need to put them in future.. .

  The same happened to my father. He had faded for personal reasons (men not teachings) and regularly visited the German board. Then he went back, says the Internet is full of lies and shuns me. I do not get it but I have to accept it. Maybe Platons Cave Analogy is the answer.

  "Victim" is "Opfer" in German so I assumed that is what you meant. Is it "offer" in Finnish?
