  remember that song, the thousands of examples of good jws standing up to the secular authorities?

  we used to sing it "herman's determined" lol!.

  i've been a member on this site for almost a year, why is it we allow our loved ones to keep us from taking a stand?

  WTBTS refuses to return 100,000 pound donation from DF man

  watchtower society declines to return disputed 100,000 legacyby emilie filou, third sector, 13 february 2008 .

  the charitable arm of the jehovah's witnesses should return a 100,000 legacy from a man it expelled for trying to convert call girls, one of the man's relatives has said.. martin davis said the watchtower society should return the money left to it by his cousin donald kennett so it could go to kennett's nephew, who is autistic.. accepting money from a member who had been expelled would damage the charity's reputation, said davis, of dulwich, south london.. kennett was befriended by a jehovah's witness in the 80s when recovering from a serious car crash and joined shortly afterwards, davis told third sector.

  he was 'disfellowshipped' from his group in stockport in 2001 after members discovered that he was contacting call girls.. when kennett's mother died in 1994, she had left half her estate to him and half to his autistic nephew.

  Well, we know it's just a BIG FAT EXCUSE ! Yeah, they want to blame it on the Charity Commission."Oh, we'd reeeaaaally like to help you out and all .....but we're not allowed too ! " Okay, then WT.Just give them some of your money ! All they have to do is give the autistic child the money that was going to him out of their own funds.After all, it's their money, then can do what they want with it.They won't really be out any money since the donated inheritance cancels it out.Like for Like.They like to brag about giving a city a new firetruck or something like that because they're oh so generous, well now's the time to prove it.They're quite simply selfish and the Org is run by modern day Pharisees.

  Awake= "Playstation Games like playing with Radioactive waste!!"

  by Witness 007 in

  awake 2008 jan.p.19 "choosing to play violent and immoral games is like choosing to play with radioactive waste.

  the damaging effects may not be immediatley obvious, but they are inevitable.

  exposure in high doses of radiation can destroy the lining of the stomach and allow bacteria from the intestines to invade the bloodstream, resulting in sickness.

  Millions upon millions of people, both kids and adults, play these type of games.How many of them go shooting up schools or performing similar violent acts ? Are the games the cause of school shootings are is the extreme fascination with them the result of a mind that is obsessesd with violent imagery ? How many other students at Columbine who played similar games find the actions of Klebold and Harris to be repugnant and unthinkable ? How many of those video game players actually sacrificed their lives for their friends or led others to safety ? Remember, Klebold and Harris made videos.Are camcorders bad ? They drew pictures of their dark fantasies.Is the medium of drawing bad ?From little on up children see violent images of the holocaust, war, etc. through documentaries (often shown in school), tv, videos, books,magazines,etc. These images stick with them forever as well.It should also be noted that the game, DOOM, was still extremely popular at the time and that quite a few relgious groups opposed the game because it contained "demons".It was pointed out, however, that in reality one could suggest the player was actually on God's side because of destroying these evil foes.

  If one is disposed to violence and has some mental disorder then it's possible they could be affected by such things as video games but that could be said about anything as well.Beer commercials are everywhere and how many get drunk, drive and killed someone ? So should beer and commercials be banned ? No, alcohol has it's place and responsibility needs to be taught.

  Some kids, because of where they live (like dangerous cities) can't just run around all over their neighborhood like can be done in other areas so being inside can be rather boring for most.Also, games can be a pleasant distraction from the stress of daily life.In many unhappy households parents fight and argue so much that the kids go to their room to get away and they desperately need a distraction and stress release, as well as a sense of accomplishment that can come from a good game.They're not old enough to just "go for a drive" when they need to get away for a bit.It can also give them something in common with their friends.Which can be especially hard for kids who having trouble fitting in.In fact, I take quite the contray view of those that suggest "violent" video games cause violence.I wonder how many people who didn't have the release of going home and taking on some bad guys would instead choose to release that aggression on others in a truly diabolical way.After all, what kind of video games did Hitler play that influenced him or those who carried out his orders ? Where did such horrific actions come from ? It sure wasn't from video games.Or what about any other ancient armies and tyrannical leaders ? Did they play Grand Theft Chariot ?

  Yeah, I saw the video and quite frankly have little respect for such antics.What did she really accomplish other than "proving" to Witnesses, including those with doubts, that all "apostates" are arrogant, disrespectful and hateful ? If anything, she scared more people back to the Org .Her type of "help" is not needed.

  there is a serious point to this.

  as a young witness, i used to wonder if the bible could become obsolete as a revelation.. situations could emerge, due to technology, that are simply not covered by any clear scripture.

  (my commentary: compare this illustration taken from an internet site to the red headed "great harlot" on page 239 of your revelation book.).

  she was worshiped as queen of heaven and patron of marriage and women.

  she also held the title eileithyia, the goddess of birth.

  Wow ! A picture with the Twin Towers and a plane in the same frame ! Amazing ! (There's a huge rocket in that picture too, btw).Forget the fact that over the years the WT has used and produced thousands upon thousands of images and that if one looks hard enough they can find whatever they're looking for.And that's exactly what some kooky conspiracy theorists do.They look, and look, and look some more... until they fine a tiny sliver of "evidence" and then comes the endless work of making it fit somehow into a larger framework of diabolical plans.

  The Organization itself is one of the biggest conspiracy theorists out there so it's no great wonder that it would attract such a follower.If one wants to waste their time with it that's fine, but trying to once again bring others under such a yoke of slavery (where one continually depends and looks to those "in the know") is just plain wrong.It's quite a power trip though, isn't it ? It's also big business.There's an endless supply of Books,Websites,Videos, etc. all ready to empty the pockets and time of those who jump in head first.Being constantly wrapped up in such things is not good for ones mental and emotional well being.

  Thanks Beksbks but I'm afraid I can't take credit for the wonderful poem as it's from the masterpiece :The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.It does, however, well express my sentiments and seems wholly appropriate to use it in a thread such as this.Plus, it's funny as heck !

  Dead Man Jaoquin, or anybody who knows what this means

  Again, I believe it's because they've got some kind of Final Solution planned which will effectively mean the end of the WT (outside of maybe a few splinter groups). And it would not surprise me if they are secretly cooperating with TPTB to implement it.

  What is TPTB

  Oh freddled gruntbuggly,
  Thy micturations are to me
  As plurdled gabbleblotchits
  On a lurgid bee.
  Groop, I implore thee, my foonting turlingdromes
  And hooptiously drangle me
  With crinkly bindlewurdles,
  Or I will rend thee in the gobberwarts with my blurglecruncheon,
  See if I don't !
