Back up EVERYTHING you say with a scripture and do your research first. Seeing it in the bible itself is a very powerful thing.
Who are the real apostates? Well the bible shows right here:
2 Thess 2:1-17
1 Now we request you, brethren, with regard to the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering together to Him,
2 that you not be quickly shaken from your 1 composure or be disturbed either by a a spirit or a 2 b message or a c letter as if from us, to the effect that d the day of the Lord e has come.
3 a Let no one in any way deceive you, for it will not come unless the 1 b apostasy comes first, and the c man of lawlessness is revealed, the d son of destruction,
4 who opposes and exalts himself above 1 a every so-called god or object of worship, so that he takes his seat in the temple of God, b displaying himself as being God.
5 Do you not remember that a while I was still with you, I was telling you these things?
6 And you know a what restrains him now, so that in his time he will be revealed.
7 For a the mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only b he who now restrains will do sountil he is taken out of the way.
8 Then that lawless one a will be revealed whom the Lord will slay b with the breath of His mouth and bring to an end by the c appearance of His 1 coming;
9 that is, the one whose 1 coming is in accord with the activity of a Satan, with all power and 2 b signs and false wonders,
10 and with 1 all the deception of wickedness for a those who perish, because they did not receive the love of b the truth so as to be saved.
11 For this reason a God 1 will send upon them 2 a b deluding influence so that they will believe 3 what is false,
12 in order that they all may be 1 judged who a did not believe the truth, but 2 b took pleasure in wickedness.
13 a But we should always give thanks to God for you, b brethren beloved by the Lord, because c God has chosen you 1 from the beginning d for salvation 2 e through sanctification 3 by the Spirit and faith in the truth.
14 It was for this He a called you through b our gospel, 1 that you may gain the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.
15 So then, brethren, a stand firm and b hold to the traditions which you were taught, whether c by word of mouth or c by letter 1 from us.
16 a Now may our Lord Jesus Christ a Himself and God our Father, who has b loved us and given us eternal comfort and c good hope by grace,
17 a comfort and b strengthen your hearts in every good work and word.
************************************************************************* 1 Timothy 1:1-20
1 Paul, a an apostle of b Christ Jesus c according to the commandment of c God our Savior, and of b Christ Jesus, who is our d hope,
2 To a Timothy, a my true child in the faith: b Grace, mercy and peace from God the Father and c Christ Jesus our Lord.
3 As I urged you 1 upon my departure for a Macedonia, 2 remain on at b Ephesus so that you may instruct certain men not to c teach strange doctrines,
4 nor to 1 pay attention to a myths and endless b genealogies, which give rise to mere c speculation rather than d furthering 2 the administration of God which is by faith.
5 But the goal of our 1 a instruction is love b from a pure heart and a c good conscience and a sincere d faith.
6 For some men, straying from these things, have turned aside to a fruitless discussion,
7 a wanting to be b teachers of the Law, even though they do not understand either what they are saying or the matters about which they make confident assertions.
8 But we know that a the Law is good, if one uses it lawfully,
9 realizing the fact that a law is not made for a righteous person, but for those who are lawless and b rebellious, for the c ungodly and sinners, for the unholy and d profane, for those who kill their fathers or mothers, for murderers
10 1 and 2 a immoral men 1 and b homosexuals 1 and c kidnappers 1 and d liars 1 and e perjurers, and whatever else is contrary to f sound teaching,
11 according to a the glorious gospel of b the blessed God, with which I have been c entrusted.
12 I thank a Christ Jesus our Lord, who has b strengthened me, because He considered me faithful, c putting me into service,
13 even though I was formerly a blasphemer and a a persecutor and a violent aggressor. Yet I was b shown mercy because c I acted ignorantly in unbelief;
14 and the a grace of our Lord was more than abundant, with the b faith and love which arefound in Christ Jesus.
15 a It is a trustworthy statement, deserving full acceptance, that b Christ Jesus came into the world to c save sinners, among whom d I am foremost of all.
16 Yet for this reason I a found mercy, so that in me as the foremost, Jesus Christ might b demonstrate His perfect patience as an example for those 1 who would believe in Him for eternal life.
17 Now to the a King 1 eternal, b immortal, c invisible, the d only God, e be honor and glory 2 forever and ever. Amen.
18 This a command I entrust to you, Timothy, b my 1 son, in accordance with the c prophecies previously made concerning you, that by them you d fight the good fight,
19 keeping a faith and a good conscience, which some have rejected and suffered shipwreck in regard to 1 b their faith.
20 1 Among these are a Hymenaeus and b Alexander, whom I have c handed over to Satan, so that they will be d taught not to blaspheme.

And PARENTS who are more afraid of the WTS then standing up for your children, SHAME ON YOU!
You should be more worried about Christ:
Mark 10:13-14, the Bible says, “And they brought young children to him, that he should touch them: and his disciples rebuked those that brought them. But when Jesus saw it, he was much displeased, and said unto them, Suffer the little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for or such is the kingdom of God.”
Matthew 18:10
“See that you do not despise one of these little ones. For I tell you that in heaven their angels always see the face of my Father who is in heaven.

Because others, the WTS and ELDERS have "gaged/stopped thousands" from telling police about SEXUAL CRIMES COMMITED WITH CHILDREN.
Between many confessions to the elders and or evidence, THOUSANDS of these child molesters would not have gone on to molest THOUSANDS more children, which they have infact done. It's a fact child sex abusers do not stop with just one child.
I'm positive my Jehovah's Witness child sexual abuser went on to molest more childern and got away with it. My mother reported it to the elders and her JW sister and they all turned a blind eye, but I still remember my sexual abuse vividly even today.
What is bothersome is the GB and attornys are more worried about getting sued if policy changes are made then what Jesus says about the matter. According to this scripture alone, the GB should be disfellowshipped. Under the law of most lands, because children are minors they are protected under penal codes.
Mark 9:42
“Whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin, it would be better for him if a great millstone were hung around his neck and he were thrown into the sea.
And if they want to apply the two or three witness rule, there are thousands who are witness to their lack of taking proper lead. They think because they post a little blurb on their site it excuses them from blame...

Vatican told to pay taxes as Italy tackles budget crisis

I'm sure Cedars will get a kick out of this. It seems an online petition on Facebook helped in bringing the Vatican to it's knees...
Mr Almunia said in 2010 that the exemption amounted to state aid that might breach EU competition law. A parliamentary proposal by the Italian Radicals party last August to repeal the exemption, with a successful petition on Facebook, upped the pressure. A spokesman for Mr Almunia appeared to give the thumbs-up yesterday: "It is a proposal that constitutes a significant progress on the issue and I hope will be implemented," he said.

Drawings of NEW Watchtower World Headquarters in Warwick, New York
by Alfred inscroll down to last few pages to see the drawings.... http://www.townofwarwick.org/wt_con/_appendix%20m_swppp%20&%20drawings.pdf.
among the ammenities are a sand volley ball court, two tennis courts and a full basketball court.... there's also parking garages and picnic areas for visitors.... by the way, not sure exactly what this is but you'll notice a shaded area labelled "undergound chamber"... interesting.... (i wonder if moving out to the middle of nowhere was intended to keep bethelites from sneaking out at night and going to the liquor store... just saying).

@ cantleave THANK YOU for your excellent post...
I wonder if the WTS got wind (through the religious grapevine) of this early on thus the massive property sell off? But again they could be gaurding interests because they're getting closer to being exposed....? What ever the reason, this is huge!
I've been waiting for this day, due to the FREE KAZILLIONS religion is making, in the name of God.
