2013 DC Recording
by turtleturtle inafter listening to the 2013 dc recording entitled "human apostates", i have this to say.
this group of men (gb) have made themselves an enemy of logic and truth.
their tactics and propaganda smack of christendom's techniques to keep membership.

The Experts- Jehovahs Witnesses
by jean-luc picard ini was thinking this weekend of a brother i first met when i was a teenager.. not yet an elder, this brother was very outspoken, and was viewed a kind of hero to the r&f.. an inexperienced teen, i also believed ( influenced by others) that this guy was a godsend.. looking back, with the eyes of a more mature person, i now consider him an arrogant self opinionated bully.. he later became an elder and i might add that he also had an imposing physical appearance .
but he had no education.
no schooling.

What is the most damning watchtower publication?
by zound ini want to purchase a couple of vintage watchtower publications to help in my helping jw's break free.
some of the older ones are expensive or hard to come by - i know you can buy them on cd's but i'd like to own one or two of the "classics of propaganda"- some of the ones that speak for themselves as to the ridiculousness of this religion.. of course any magazine i pick up today speaks to me of the ridiculousness, but you need something much more hardcore for the jw's.. any recommendations?.
"children" has some pretty good quotes in it..

Governing Body theft: Catholic 'magisterium' and kicking CHRIST out of christianity
by Terry inthe catholic church is founded upon magisterium which is the doctrine that jesus began a long succession of priests who administered his kingdom work and education through peter and his subsequent popes.
moreover, jesus gave this catholic church the right to make policy which heaven would back up with divine authority.. the protestant reformation nullified this idea by presenting a rival doctrine of sola scriptura which is the doctrine that no priesthood is necessary for an individual human being.
sola scriptura says one man and one bible is what god will work through directly as long as jesus is invoked as the mediator.. the governing body of jehovah's witnesses coalesce around the doctrine that the magisterium applies to them as "anointed" and no lone ranger christian can go around them.. in one fell swoop jw's stole the catholic doctrine and stepped on the protestant alternative!.

July 15th WT, the "other changed doctrine"
by Isidore in"feeding many through the hands of a few" paragraph 14:.
"however, once the last of the apostles died, the apostasy took root and flourished during a long growing season that lasted for many centuries.
additionally, during that time, the weeds became many and the blades of wheat were few.

By What Authority?
by Orthodox1 inthe jws, catholics, mormons, and a handful of others say they are the "true church" or what jesus originally intended.
i know jws call themselves the "true christians".
by what authority - outside of the bible, since 41,000 denominations use the bible to back up their individual beliefs - can jws make this claim?
