Song 63 - They're Watchtower's Witnesses.
by Island Man in1. they've made gods of flesh and bone, also gods of wood and stone.give them all loyalty, their own blood disown.shackled minds just cannot seethat it's pure idolatry.why, witnesses deserve such disdain!since few will use their god-damn brain!.
(chorus).
they're watchtower's witnesses.they parrot such foolishness.theirs is the god of false prophecy;lies he foretells constantly.. .

Books are not dying out and this is not the reason for the WT turning to tablets
by slimboyfat inthere's a popular misconception that books in general are in terminal decline, that this is the reason the wt organisation has turned to tablets instead of print, and this in turn has created a financial crisis for the organisation which traditionally relied upon publishing books for income.
this is wrong on a number of levels.
firstly physical books are not in terminal decline, they are as popular as ever with consumers.

it was practically the sort of story that many correspondents on this forum have waited years to hear.

it is supposed to shape every facet of the lives of its 8 million followers around the world.its beliefs set it apart not only from non-believers and other christian faiths.but what has emerged in recent years is an alleged catalogue of sexual abuse that has gone unreported and unpunished due to this adherence to the literal word of god.david cook meets the survivors of years of abuse who say their claims were ignored because of the lack of two witnesses to the crime, a major law of the organisation which it says is enshrined in the bible.jehovah’s witnesses deny they shelter any abusers but he will hear how some alleged abusers were allowed to remain part of the organisation because of the lack of witnesses.he will also investigate how this insular worldwide community is responding to mounting pressure to turn over decades of testimonies which could expose thousands more cases of abuse...
