Hello Blondie,
thanks for the comments. very true and straight to the point,
as usual. I do believe that this week...the swedish press and
TV will give a mighty headache to thousands of JWs apologist
and a good shake to the WTBS Inc.
Jgnat: " What exactly are the bad reports, distortions and outright
falsehoods, and slanderous reports that the WT is telling us to expect ? "
Truly indeed, why the WTBS Inc. doesn't give at least one tiny example??
We all know why...

can anyone tell me if the "position" of presiding overseer is one which changes every few years or is it now a "life time position".
my old congregation has recently had a visit from the co and the po appears to have been removed - could be very interesting :).

Hello Twinkletoes,
I’m glad that the information can prove useful to you.
Btw what they did in your congregation, ahs become quite
common use in Europe.
The BoE, in many cases, even if the brother/sister did not
dissociate by words or by letter, the fact that they refused
or just did not go to ‘ judicial hearings’ or even ‘ meeting with the
local elders’ would be a valid and sufficient reason to
‘announce ‘ to the congregatioin that “… brother/sister has
dissociated himself/herself from the congregation’.
You know the result…complete shunning and even label
of …apostasy, …serious sins etc. etc.
All this in the name of Jehovah and Jesus Christ…but the true
Reason is that many dared to ask…questions that unmask the
dealings of the mighty WTBS Inc..
Should you need some more informations, quotes etc. don’t hesitate
To e-mail me.

yesterday, swedens most famous journalist jan josefson, disclosed a pedofile scandal within jehovahs witness churches in sweden.
the show "mission review" was a one hour long execution of the "elderly organisation" within the churches and was really devastating for the witnesses and the chuch in general.
we who saw the show are now convinced that jehovahs witnesses in sweden now better hide themselves than seek new members, because what we saw was both disgusting as well as heartbreaking.
Hello Y.BadConscience,
thanks for the excellent news. I'm sure that very soon
the story will be related in many other languages too.
So Sweden is another one ...to expose the mighty WTBS Inc.!!!
Thanks for the link.

Hello rocketman,
Thanks for your comment, and for your …question
“…never really say just how that happens. Is it by dreams? Visions?
… they never explain the mechanism that God supposedly uses to impart such "understanding"
I do agree with you …they avoid to give precise and definite answers.
From "The Watchtower " 1960 July 15 th , pages 438-9 paragraph 2:
“ Just as the early Christian congregation collectively
served as the channel of communication from heaven
to earth, so in our time. (Eph. 3:10) Abundant spiritual
food and amazing details as to the doing of God's will have
been flowing through this unique channel actually as a
miraculous evidence of the operation of holy spirit. "
From "The Watchtower " 1981 December 1 st , page 27
“Jehovah God has also provided his visible organization,
his "faithful and discreet slave," made up of spirit-anointed
ones ... Unless we are in touch with this channel of
communication that God is using, we will not progress
along the road to life, no matter how much Bible reading we do."
From "The Watchtower" 2001 August 1 st , page 14, paragraph 8th
“Rather, he has complete confidence in the truth
as it is revealed by Jehovah God through his
Son, Jesus Christ, and “the faithful and discreet slave. "
As you can see, in these quotes the WTBS Inc. mentions:
“channel of communication “;
“revealed by Jehovah God”;
“flowing through this unique channel;
“miracolous evidence”;
“channel of communication from heaven to earth”.
So what is left out is the mode/instrument/mean
to transmit/send/give/impart the actual communication.

just as a bit of personal reasoning.
from the wtbs inc. official figures and statistics,
25 years later, for the year 2002, the total is 8,760 members.-

Hello again,
Beelzedub: thanks for the reminder.
Btw I did post an accurate analysis
of the number of "anointed remnant" members
in the last 50years ...what a situation !!!

theocracy hypocrisy weekly # 2 -- buying and selling with babylon
merriam-webster dictionary's definition of "theocracy": government of a state by immediate divine guidance or by officials who are regarded as divinely guided .
why does the watchtower society even need to buy buildings from babylon?
Hello UnDisfellowshipped,
thanks for this excellent post. Good logic, well supported with
straightforwrd quotes...simply all sadly TRUE!
As usual the WTBS Inc. make rules, modifies them...
makes new ones and does what it seem profitable in
term of thousands and thosands of dollars.
Like any mighty empire of the commercial world.

Hello everyone,
Just as …a bit of personal reasoning.
From the WTBS Inc. official figures and statistics,
published yearly on “The Watchtower” for the year
1978, the number of “anointed remnant” is given
as a total of ……………………………….…………...9,762 members;
25 years later, for the year 2002, the total is …………8,760 members.-
Therefore , in 25 years the total, number of the “anointed remnant”
has decreased of ….1,002 members.
At this kind of annual declining rate, it will take a total of 218,50 years for all the actual “anointed remnant” members to “leave this earthly abode”….!
I believe that something is wrong…maybe it is only my reasoning!
