No. However I did personally know Ilse Hess, wife of Rudolph Hess, Deputy Führer to Adolf Hitler. She died in 1995 in Victoria, Australia, in my home town. She knew my grandmother, Oma, who also came to Australia after WW2. My Oma was the granddaughter of King Leopold II of the Belgians. Ilse's revelations to me about the JWs, aka Bible Students, were in complete contrast to Watchtower's own sanitised historical revisionism. Ah ... the burdens of the past we carry.

Have you ever known a holocaust denier? How did you feel about them?
by Esse quam videri ini sometimes did work for a lovely old couple who at times needed repairs done around their home.
my wife and myself spent time with them, having tea and crackers from time to time.
one day the husband and myself got into a conversation and he clearly showed himself to be a holocaust denier.

Here's a morbid thought...
by Rainbow_Troll init probably will never happen but... imagine the gb recieved some new light that told them the great tribulation was imminent.
the world is going to hell and all jws can expect until armageddon is terrible persecution the likes of which no christian has ever experienced in two thousand years.
but jehovah has a solution: put yourself and your family 'to sleep' and after armageddon's over, jehovah will 'wake his people up' at the resurrection.

The closer the governing body believe they get to judgment day (i.e. the day the truth about the truth is fully exposed) the more they will seize assets, ask or beg for more money, sell off the church real estate and bunker down in a country retreat.

Why isnt the overlapping generation( interpretation), consistently applied to these scriptures.?
by smiddy inwhy does the wt interpret matt.24:34 "truly i say to you this generation will by no means pass away until all these things occur.
" as having overlapping generations ?
and not applying the same reasoning to any other scripture/s referring to a generation or this generation .?

Clearly jehovah is a lap god. Not to be confused with a fap god or a lap dog or a rap god.

smiddy: "JW`s have more than 1000 cases of child sexual abuse not reported to the appropiate authorities, noted by the Australian Royal Commission'"
Correction: It is just over 1,800 cases of child abuse and just over 1,000 alleged perpetrators. The 3,018 elders who knew about the allegations is correct, not counting the JW hierarchy.

GB Gerrit Losch and his questionable article in the 7/14 WT study edition!!!
by ADJUSTMENTS inin this article gerrit talks about his father in the first and last paragraphs, what he says about him and his hope for him goes against all that witnesses have preached about the worldly for the last 100 years... as i recall aren't all the worldly supposed to be destroyed and never have a hope of everlasting life like jw's are, and isn't that the purpose of the preaching work to baptize and warn the worldly of this???
if not why do jws even preach, or even become jws in the first place if all have a hope of everlasting life, jw and non-jw, are they releasing a little hint at new light to come???
or am i just missing or over analyzing something?.

AN OPEN LETTER TO SERENA WILLIAMS
Serena Williams, you have confirmed you will be in Melbourne, Australia, next month, January 2017, for the Australian Open from the 16th to 29th. I was born in Melbourne and I love my capital city.
Serena, do you endorse or support the Jehovah's Witnesses religion's decision not to report to the authorities the rape and molestation of over 1,800 girls and boys within the church in Australia alone? These figures have been verified by the Australian Child Abuse Royal Commission. I hope you don't remain silent like the Governing Body of Jehovah's Witnesses who only spoke to declare the child abuse within their religion is "apostate driven lies".
Each family in Australia has on average 2.4 children. Therefore the 1,800 child abuse victims in Australia have an immediate family of 6,120 not counting themselves. Add to this number each child victim's grandparents (7,200) then the total number of people (immediate family) directly affected by the concealing of child abuse with the Jehovah's Witness church in Australia is:
15,120
The Rod Laver Arena in Melbourne has a tennis seating capacity of 14,820.
12% of the seats amounts to 1,800.
Serena, when you take the court in Rod Laver Arena next month I hope you recognizes that every single seat in the arena you are playing tennis in represents a family member directly affected by child sexual abuse in Australia within the religion of Jehovah's Witnesses alone.
Serena, if you win the Open, and I wish you all the best, I hope that in your speech, instead of thanking Jehovah God (and by extention the Jehovah's Witness religion which you associate with) you draw attention to these 1,800 child abuse victims.
Unless one person stands up no one else can join them. You are a role model so be that role model and stand up.

ABC News: Malcolm Lee, 56, has been sentenced to three years, nine months jail for the attack on the woman, 80, at her home near Lakes Entrance in March. During a home massage, organised as a gift by the victim's daughter, Lee touched, kissed and digitally raped the woman.
He claimed he believed at the time it was consensual and she was enjoying it. Lee pleaded guilty to the charges in August and was today sentenced in the County Court in Morwell. He will be eligible for parole in two years, six months.
Image: ABC Gippsland: Nicole Asher
The Age newspaper: Lee, a masseur for 14 years who was registered with the national body, pleaded guilty to rape and sexual assault.
His lawyer this week called for him to be spared jail because of his mistaken belief about consent, his subsequent remorse and previous good character. He had since split from his wife and was ostracised by his family and friends in the Jehovah's Witnesses church.
But Judge Mullaly said jail was the only appropriate penalty for the "brazen" breach of trust, which had had a significant impact on the woman and her daughter.

Jehovah is unjust (outrageous article on slavery in last WT for public)
by Master_Bob inaccording to the last paragraph of the article entitled "escape from slavery—then and now" (wt#2, 2017).
jehovah god felt grieved by the harsh treatment of israelite slaves in egypt; he must feel the same way about similar injustice today.. .
if you call modern slavery "injustice", wasn't the slavery during moses time also "injustice"?
-

jwleaks
Read the article carefully and note the OP above. The subject was not slavery but only the "harsh treatment" of slaves. Then in typical Watchtower fashion the bait-and-switch takes place and the subject is now injustice.

Are you asking me to join you in some apostate rebellion? Because I'm not interested.
