Attention Lurkers, newbies and fence sitters and shunned ones!!!!
by Crazyguy inits time to be blunt, the jw religions denies their members the messiah.
do your research people, go to your cd library and type the word "mediator" in brackets or parentheses, and then hit search button.
after reading all you can you'll see that according to them, jesus only mediates for the 144k.

July 15, 2013 WT for Dummies
by Calebs Airplane in"faithful & discreet slave" nu-lite crash course.... before october 2012.... the faithful & discreet slave were all of the 12,000 annointed christians that are still alive on earth.
they dispense spiritual food at the proper time and are represented by a small group of powerless and humble men in brooklyn known as the governing body.
this may be compared to professional athletes of a particular sport who hire publicists and/or agents to represent them.. after october 2012.... the faithful & discreet slave are only 8 elite men in brooklyn, ny who collectively call themselves "the governing body".

Elders Ordered to Give Evidence in Sex Scandal Trial
by jw07 inhttp://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2365992/gordon-leighton-child-abuse-trial-orders-jehovahs-witness-leaders-evidence.html.
church elders refused to comment on a child abuse scandal because they had a 'duty to god' to keep the sex attacker's confession a secret, a court heard.. jehovah witness ministerial servant gordon leighton admitted sexually abusing a child when he was confronted with allegations before elders at his church,newcastle crown court heard.. but during the official police investigation the 53-year-old, who hit the headlines in the 1990s when his wife yvonne, 28, died after refusing a blood transfusion after childbirth on religious grounds, denied any illegal wrongdoing.. when detectives asked elders simon preyser, harry logan and david scott to make statements about the confession, all three refused and said what they had heard was confidential.. the elders knew about the admissions for three years, but refused to cooperate with the criminal investigation, the court heard.. .
the trio kept that stance when the case was brought before newcastle crown court.

The Inflexible Pipe Dreaming Governing Body, New Boys, The Hands Of A Few Without A Clue,
by frankiespeakin inhere we have a completely dumbed down rank and file from which to choose leadership.
after years of a steady diet of misinformation/propaganda which demonizes the world in general and make going to college a cause for removal of priviledges, the brain drain must be enormous, with critical thinking at an all time low and the information age just starting to get in to full swing the future looks bleak for these ceos that run the corporation.
only black and white thinking allowed at the their board meetings, a bunch of yes men being surrounded by a bunch of rubberstamping yes men getting deeper and deeper entrenched in group think, nobody feels comfotable to speak their mind least the be labeled apostate and be burned at the stake/df'd.

I have been reading crisis of conscience by Ray Franz....what an amazing book. He clearly exposes the GB for what they really are. Its aims and modus operandi are now self centered. It has rushed dates...taken scriptures out of context...sought to control the rank and file ....and misled many. The Emperor has no clothes.......and a paper empire.

Another kid just lost her education to JWs. Know there's gossip going round about me. My fabulous non-JW family. More.
by Julia Orwell ini didn't think any of these things really deserved their own threads, so i've cobbled some random observations, incidents and reflections together.
some are sad, like those poor jw school kids i know, and some are warm, like my friendship with my mother.. a year 10 girl who was enrolled in the a level science class was absent: i noticed because i used to be good friends with her jw mother, who recently ranted at me and unfriended me on fb.
i've supervised a couple of aisha's* classes this year, and found her to be a quiet sort of kid who gets on with her work.

excellent posting. good points made. homeschooling is often just another way of controlling and isolating children. ..who then grow up lacking vital social skills...sad and a waste of childhood. there was a publication called the truth that sets you free....but homeschooling seems to be just enforcing lies that deny you freedom.

The Watchtower Society Cripples Their Own Preaching Work
by Nosferatu inif there's one scripture that defines the entire purpose of a jehovah's witness's existence, it's matthew 24:14.
"this good news of the kingdom will be preached in all the inhabited earth for a witness to all the nations; and then the end will come.".
this is the entire purpose of going door to door.

Seems they think they own the right to withold bible knowledge. Who the hades do they think they are?.....good points made above re the public seeing the wtbs as cultish and creepy....I'm so glad I'm out of it after 30 years of blindly following the blind. If it really was the Truth then it would be flowing freely without resorting to copyright etc etc...
