Dagney: You know, I've wracked my brain trying to figure out why the corporation was not more protective of children...I mean how can you not!
But with this revelation of Lett, I see now.
Wow! Powerful!

A ton of JW parents and JW grand-parents will be confused and irritated after hearing GB Lette describe their li'l ones as 'li'l enemies of God' when the Bible at Ps 127:3-5 speaks soo admirably and lovingly of them:
"Children are a heritage from the Lord, offspring are a reward from him.
Like arrows in the hands of a warrior are children born in one’s youth.
Blessed/Happy is the man whose quiver is full of them."

"...it's not as bad as the cut-out YoutUbe clip makes it appear,..."
Ya'ah...just like all of Lett's talks on homosexuals haven't been that bad either! :) :)

Jehovah's Witnesses do plenty to cause hostility...The WTBTS does plenty to turn people off...they do plenty to cause the general public and their own rank & file members to withdraw and turn away...GB Stephen Lett's incentive choice of words regarding new born babies being li'l enemies of God rather than li'l Angels will only add more fuel to the fire.
the last 2 1/2 years have been extremely stressful.
while the rest of the world was dealing with covid, i was also dealing with cancer.
in fact it seems none of my doctors knew about it.
They say that having a positive attitude works wonders on the mind, soul & body...a good lesson for all of us...thank you Lee for showing us how it's done...May God-Speed!
do you have any amazing quotations that have been produced by the faithful slave over the years?.
remember it's important that we should learn to love and value truth for it’s own sake; to respect and honor it by owning and acknowledging it wherever we find it and by whomever presented.
a truth presented by the faithful slave himself is just as true as a truth stated by god.. share some of those amazing quotations that have fascinated you.
Be Ready To Drink The Kool-Aid Quotes:
"At that time, the life-saving direction that we receive from Jehovah’s organization may not appear practical from a human standpoint. All of us must be ready to obey any instructions we may receive, whether these appear sound from a strategic or human standpoint or not." (W 11/15/13 pg 19 par 17)
"...During the great tribulation, we may receive instructions that seem strange, impractical, or illogical. Of course, Jehovah will not speak to us personally. He will likely provide direction through his appointed representatives. That will hardly be the time to second-guess the direction or to view it with skepticism, wondering, ‘Is this really coming from Jehovah, or are the responsible brothers acting on their own?’ How will you fare during that crucial time in human history? The answer might be indicated by how you view theocratic direction now. If you trust the direction we receive today and readily obey, you will likely do the same during the great tribulation." (W Feb 2022 Study #6 pg6 par 15)
"...At times, this slave may give direction that we do not fully understand. For example, we may receive specific instructions designed to prepare us to survive a natural disaster that we think is unlikely to occur in our area. Or we may feel that the slave is being overly cautious during a pandemic. What should we do if we feel that the instructions given are not practical? We can think about how the Israelites benefited by heeding the counsel given through Joshua and Zerubbabel. We can also think about other Bible accounts that we have read. Sometimes God’s people received direction that did not appear to be practical from a human standpoint but turned out to be lifesaving." (W March 2022 Study #12 pg19 par 16)
i see there has already been discussion over lloyd’s new book how to leave the jehovah's witnesses.
this includes discussion around his personality, motives and financial gains.
i have written a foreword for this book, because it is an important topic that has not been covered in such a complete format before.
Paul Grundy and his work have for the longest time been a big help to each and every one on this Forum...quit your bellyaching about him!
a pimo elder at bethel has come forward with a special message posted on reddit.. https://www.reddit.com/gallery/v9mgao.
the dated pictures attached are "proof conclusive" that this is for real.
no outside guests are allowed inside bethel at this time.
The question many would like the answer to is: How many Elder PIMOs are actually inside the WT Bethel compounds Worldwide...and in what departments and levels?
The comical part of all this is that the only Tribulation and Armageddon that's going to take place is what the WTBTS is going to experience internally...stay tuned! 😇😇
anything you remember that went in org that you feel embarrassed now?
i remember back in the 80s how seems like every magazine was about bashing other group's.
how holy and faithful watchtower was compared to catholic church.
I remember a few years back a District Convention talk where the speaker was holding up a BlackBerry cell phone and telling the audience that this electronic device was a tool of Satan and to avoid wasting time and money on them. A year later at the Annual Meeting the Governing Body had on display on a table smart phones and every other electronic device imaginable telling the world of JWs that this was the way of the future of carrying out our door to door witnessing, etc. I remember thinking to myself...What The Hell!
massive new document written by wt, 837 pages, meant for arguments vs officials and media to defend the disfellowshipping arrangement.
found in the casefile in norway.
meant to be secret.. .
FYI the case Anderson v Watchtower appears starting on p 459
Thank you dropoffyourkeelee for pointing this out!
The Andersons' will go down in Watchtower history as being major players in exposing & bringing down this cult. Thank you Barbara & Joe...you just may be the reason why WT is struggling to maintain a membership in the U.S.A. of 1 million...and those numbers are dropping fast...thank you for all you've done...especially for putting the spotlight on the WTBTS's fostering, allowing & mishandling of Child Sex Abuse in this religion!
