Wisdom From The Judge
by Frenchy infrom the very beginning god expressed his indignation against religion, showing that it is an abomination in his sight because formulated, brought into existence and practiced by the devil...from and after the flood until now religion has been the chief means of confusing, deceiving and misleading the people and has resulted in turning them away from the knowledge of and worship of the true and almighty god.
this of itself is proof conclusive that religion is the product of the devil.
--enemies p. 69. all religious organizations on earth are formed and carried on by men who are subjected to wrongful influence and ruled by the great enemy satan the devil; and this is true whether any of then know it or not, because the bible so states... the purpose is to set the facts plainly before the people that all sincere ones may see who constitutes their real enemies.

Was Russell a freemason ? Part one: His writings
by chasson inthe debate which divided and which still divides the small world of the former jehovah's witnesses on the french internet, is about to know if the founder of the jehovah's witnesses, namely charles taze russell was a mason.
having been an actor of this debate, it seemed to me convenient of summary my ideas in writing to take advantage of it the readers of this site.. .
russell took his ideas from the american second adventism.

Most hated Rules and Regulations
by Bendrr inthe thread about "clinking" got me to thinking.. what were the rules you hated most?
rules that were just so boneheaded as to be infuriating.. there are so many rules and regulations to follow as a dub.
some rules may not even be able to be referenced in the publications, at least not firmly and clearly.

The Casket Under the Coat Rack........
by soylibre inone of the craziest things i ever witnessed as a jw was a funeral for an unbaptized publisher...she attended my cong.
and was very quiet and softspoken...the type who never caused any trouble and who would ocassionaly comment, directly from the paragraph....nice lady with a young daughter about 11. well one day she's driving down the road and gets hit by a pepsi truck....(can anyone say lawsuit???
) she's hospitalized and is in critical condition....to make a long story short...she's faced with the blood issue and finally gives in and accepts a transfusion and dies anyway...ok let's fastforward...no one apparently knew about this except her mother....a non-jw who had studied off and on for years and years.....so the obituary appears and it's public knowledge that her funeral will be at such and such kingdom hall at such and such time....actually published info...well, she had tons of non-jw family...typical of us black folk...anyway let me get to the point....apparently the day of the funeral, just some hours before in fact....the elders find out about the blood and don't want to have the funeral in the kingdom hall....but what are they to do????
