  sunday, may 18th was my big day.

  i decided to go to beth sarim, home of the princes and ancient worthies.

  so i loaded up the truck and rolled out, wondering what do you do when you meet someone so ancient that the roman empire was a mere twinkling in jehovah's eye.

  I wonder if the new owner is used to a lot of tourists who come to see and take pictures of his house.

  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

  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

  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.

  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.
