Is this fair?
by nbernat inthis is my take on the whole inherited sin thing:.
let's say your parents committed a crime and were sentenced to life in prison, let's say 140 years.
now, they died 90 years short of their sentence.

Could we sue the WTS?
by nbernat inis there any extent of the law which we could sue the society for taking our time, brainwashing us and tearing apart our families?
or would that just be pushing it?.
i ask because the attorney who prosecuted jfk's murderer came out with a book outlining a case against bush for murder which is pretty far-fetched yet convincing.

Isn't this proof the GB doesn't believe what it preaches?
by nbernat inif the gb really thought they had the exact truth perfect from flaws, shouldn't they be telling their members, "go look at the apostate stuff-- you'll see it's all lies!
compare it to the bible and you'll see it's all lies!
" that would completely eliminate apostasy if it were all true, no?.

How can I know for sure that the WTS isn't God's organization?
by nbernat ini go back and forth everyday.
one day i'm like, "suppress your gay feelings and what you think is wrong about this organization and keep going forward because you want eternal life and all of your friends are here and it's as close to the truth as it can possibly get so just deal with it.
" others i'm like, "live your life.

Lawyers at Bethel
by nbernat ini heard that bethel pays for brothers' undergrad and law school expenses if they serve as lawyers, is that true?
also, just to see the hypocrisy, would they accept someone who went to harvard law even if they weren't a regular pioneer?

Starting a "private school" at the KH?
by nbernat indoes anyone know of the wts's regulations regarding starting a home school program for the kids/teens and using the kh as the classroom?
would they approve?
there need not be any other form of regulation in california but be considered a private school-- no accredidation, housing, etc.

Wow I think we have a bigger insider scoop than everyone who's a healthy JW
by nbernat inhow is it that we get so much insider info all the time and i get my meeting announcements here before i get them at the meeting?
for example i saw the bethel brochure one week before they had it at my meeting and it must've been an elder who scanned since they were the only ones who had one.. .
do we have active bethelites and elders here?
