Silent Lambs/Bill Bowen..Who rejoices now?
by wasasister inhaving read the exchanges between rev, bill bowen, and others involved in the silent lambs website, i honestly feel sickened.
i remember when i first started to hear rumblings that "something big" was going down regarding the society's handling of child abuse.
i was overjoyed because i had first-hand knowledge of several atrocities in this regard and was hoping against all odds that a major upset would force them to change their policies.

Top Five Forbidden Watchtower Subjects
by metatron inif you are an 'old timer' and wonder why the watchtower and awake.
magazines are so bland and lacking in content, it may come as no surprize.
to you that it's often because a number of topics are 'off limits'.. that is, certain subjects are so troublesome to the watchtower leadership.

Jehovah's People
by uriah insince the program and at other times when jw's are 'in the news' i have always been told that.
'jehovah's people' would not do that kind of thing etc.. a typical response to the panorama was 'it's all apostates isn't it' or 'they were good actors' - .
yeah, right the guy in 'cuffs being lead to the clink, great acting.. what is my point you ask, mildly.. it is this.

Time to Change Soon to Someday
by Undecided ini've been reading the publications of the wt society for 55 years and my grandmother many years before that and the term "soon" has lost it's meaning.
it's time to use "someday" in it's place.
if someone says that i will be home soon, and you die of old age before they show up, i would think they had lied to me.

Witnesses Not Budging on 1914
by stevieb1 injust attended the sunday of the zealous kingdom proclaimers district convention in manchester, england and during the final talk we had an update on the world situation as it relates to jehovah's witnesses.
the speaker was peter ellis, a member of the london bethel branch committee.. he stated that many had been waiting for armageddon for some years and some have become disappointed that it hasn't yet arrived, and that newer jw's did not seem to have the same degree of faith as some of the old-timers in the faith, hence this was of serious concern.
then he said something along the lines of 1914 being set in stone and that the organization was not going to get any new light on this key doctrine, hence we can be sure that armageddon is very near.. interesting don't you think?
