  The Interior Bulletins!

  in september 1959, anne and i were invited to serve at bethel in paris, france, where i was assigned to take the lead in printing.

  up until the time of our arrival in january 1960, printing had been done by a commercial firm.

  since the watchtower was then banned in france, we printed the magazine each month in the form of a 64-page booklet.

  So let's discuss the framework of gods plan for a paradise earth

  by nowwhat? in

  so after jehovah kills 8 billion people "for not knowing him'" he is going to resurrect 100 billion humans because " they didn't know him" .

  the 8 million jw's will be tasked with educating these ones.

  that's 1 jw for every 12k resurrected ones.

  No one knows how He will do it

  That says it all ,he/she believes in God the magician. You don`t need facts you don`t need evidence ,you just need faith that God knows how he will do it.

  All superstitious nonsense .

  came across this local article in a small town nearby.

  video names the church as jw's:.

  I strongly suspect that when the police are informed of a child abuse case among the JW`s its not the Elders who do so, but a third party who informs them and sometimes non JW`s who do.

  I seperated myself from Jehovah`s Witnesses ,God , and the Bible, because of what the Bible reveals about what sort of being God is.

  If it really is Gods word , then her/his own words condemn him / her .

  You would think they would throw him to the wolves to protect their image ? What they do (or don`t do ) just makes them look worse .
