  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i learn: the watchtower society's first president was not ct russell, that he was into pyramids, that rutherford hijacked his little religion and turned it into a powerhouse for publishing, that he liked sly grog, had 2 cadillacs to al capones 1, was a bully, and had cancer of the bum, that over all the years they can't make up their mind between new and old light, that the governing body dont even consult the bible, that they had at least one gay g/b member, manipulate prophecy, set dates and blame the flock, invented disfellowshipping just after critizing the catholics for excomunication, avoid taxes, lie on the stand, joined the u.n, own billions of dollars worth of ny, trade stocks and shares, tried be friends with hitler, condoned bribery in mexico, let the flock think they were resticted by the mexican govt, let mallawians die for nothing, keep watering down the blood policy, whitwash their own history, have secret books to help child custody battles, hides criminals, runs heretic witch hunts, spys, has two watchtower mags, supported swaggert in court, lies, controls minds, protects pedophiles, punishes victims, tears families apart, is anti education, is practically run by lawyers, has more corporations than wallstreet it seems, promote wt lit as part of the bible, supported racial segregation in the south, policed the bedroom, that the bible and preaching work are a front for a massive, giant megalomaniacal malevolent publishing house.

  that none of this is unsupported lies!.

  and to think that a month or so ago, i thought the only dirt on them might have been being a little to harsh on shunning.. i feel sick.

  This is my first post. I've been lurking since I started a Bible Study with a JW woman (casual friend too). I felt roped in but was too polite and slightly intrigued so was studying and taking what I learned with a grain of salt. Thank God (literally) for this site - I'm hoping all that is shared is read by people like me. The lovefest and community extended to me was overwhelming, if false. To know that the JW faith is indeed a cultish one and based on lies gives on strength to move on. Thank you!
