JUSTICE #4b - See No Evil, Hear No Evil, ...
by Amazing insee no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil .
some see this expression as a positive exhortation to not look at bad things, don't listen to evil, and don't gossip.
other's see it more like three foolish monkeys who would not look, listen, or speak out against injustice.

What Caused Your First Doubt ?
by Big Jim infor me it was when i was about twelve years old and my best friends dad was disfellowshipped from the congregation.. i could not understand how a god of love would treat someone so coldly.. i used to think what if that was the way my parents would treat me if i had done something wrong, that would be so hard and cruel.. as i got older another thing that bothered me was the beard issue.
it may sound pretty trivial however the society has always refused to make a good arguement as to why they would give you the old cold shoulder if you were to grow one.. two more items; first i could not understand why all the congregations and all the assemblys would give income reports.
and the society never did.

DEEMINZ AT THE KINGDOM HALL!
by TR inthe other day, i was sharing with my non jw, never has been jw, never would be a jw catholic wife the story silent lambs told us about his last visit to the kh.
i was inspired to visit the kh and play some mind games.. my wife bettered my idea and threw in the idea to make something "demonic" happen at the hall while i'm there.
maybe a hidden tape recorder of some evil sounds or some other tricks.

ANOTHER way jWs will Violate you
by Tallyman inyep.. there are a lot of "mary"s in the organization who will not hestitate to violate your most private/confidential/personal information.. a person just asked me if i had an original watchtower which contained an article this person badly wanted... not the bound volume or cd version, but the original... and if i could provide good scans of the article.. once this person explained the situation, i agreed.
a close relative of this person has cancer and went to an oncologist for treatment, and part of the treatment included blood transfusions.
welll, a "mary" secretary who was in the employ of this doctor, recognized this cancer patient as a jw, and seeing that she took blood, felt like she had to violate the confidentiality oath she took when the doctor employed her, and "obey god as ruler rather than men" and promptly made sure the elders became aware of this situation... and needless to say, all hell broke loose.. well, this person is so mad, this person is now on a mission, a campaign, to pass out copies of this watchtower article:.
