  Crisis of Conscience - The Movie

  by cedars in

  i know... how cool would that be??!.

  having just commented on the post by trailerfitter about the situation with his wife, and how i have personally found the book crisis of conscience by ray franz to be the perfect antidote to the society's perception of itself as being god's earthly organisation, the thought occurred to me: what if there was a movie about ray franz and his life?

  obviously the society would be in uproar, and letters would be read out to all congregations all over the world not to go and see it, but just imagine!

  a regular caller to our six screens of the watchtower conference call david w. contacted the six screens tele-network on sept. 1, 2011 and reported that allegedly some laid off bethelites were living in tents behind a giant food store in virginia.. david stated their were two well dressed men and a young women around 30 years old temporally living behind the supermarket.. the woman according to david said she was trying to get to florida but did not have the money for the trip.. david said the police arrived and questioned the homeless people and they told the police that they were recently released from the watchtower org in ny.

  the police made no charges.. has anyone else heard of this happening?.

  david w. will give more details on the dialogue program sat.

  I can't believe the irony..

  by The Quiet One in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  watchtower july 15, 2011 study edition page 12 paragraph 7 'following the crowd would not train our perceptive powers; nor, on the other hand, would a host of rigid rules in matters of conscience.

  that is why, for example, jehovah's people are not given a list of films, books, and internet sites to avoid...worse, it would deprive us of the vital work of weighing bible principles carefully and prayerfully and then making decisions on the basis of those principles.

  QFR: "Warning - memorial partakers might be loonies!"

  by cedars in

  1. watchtower

  as part of my objective analysis of four month's worth of watchtower study editions from july to october 2011, i found the following gem from a question from readers, on page 22 of the august 15 magazine.

  the question under discussion was "how are we to understand the figures in the annual service report?

  ", and it goes on to provide an idiot's guide to what the figures mean, including the following.... "memorial partakers.

  JWs relieved when judges decree their kids must have a blood transfusion

  by MrMonroe in

  1. watchtower
  2. medical

  danny haszard tweeted the following story from the flordia sun-sentinel: state butts in to give kids a life.

  it's a fascinating story that shows the real attitude of many parents of young children who become seriously ill. though ordered by their religion to refuse transfusions and simply accept that their child may die as a result, some parents willingly accept the right of the state to decree that a transfusion must take place if doctors so decide.. no parent wants their child to die, and it would simply tear them apart to know that a reasonably simple and routine medical practice could save their life ... yet they would be shunned by their family and friends if they accepted.

  the solution is to hope like hell the state steps in, allowing them to say to their congregation, "well, what can you do?

  anyone else ever think this was strange?

  by cptkirk in

  2. scandals

  when you were in the borg looking at the yearbook, none of the middle-eastern countries were accounted for were they?

  did it ever strike anyone as odd that the region of the world which this religion was born in, had no "preaching" work being carried out there?

  all the while the wtbs is shouting the end is sooo close?
