Watchtower Society's respect for Christ
by stichione inin the december 15th 2002 watchtower magazine we find the article "view matters from god's standpoint", relating to the 113th graduating class of gilead.
on page 24 is presented a statement which gerrit losch, a member of the governing body made during a talk at that graduation: "...he called attention to many occasions when jehovah said to his servants :i am with you.".
however, jesus christ is conspicuously absent, since his words which close the gospel of matthew are pratically identical, when he said :" i am with you all the days until the conclusion of the system of things.

I found out that a pedophile was among us
by stichione intoday i found out that in our congregation a married man was accused by his nephew (not a jw) of pedophile acts commited over 10 years ago.
the accusation came out only two years ago when the nephew grew up.
the grandmother of this youngster (mother-in-law of the accused) approached the elders of her congregation with this information.

LOTR-Fellowship DVD
by stichione intuesday november 12th is the date for the much anticipated release of the movie lord of the rings-the fellowship of the ring on dvd.
although the movie was released in august, the package released in 12 days reportedly will have 30 extra minutes of movie not shown at the theatrical release.
which is all the more exciting for the true fan.

In the name of Jesus Christ
by stichione inas members of the "other sheep" we were always taught to conclude our prayers with the words: "in jesus christ, amen".
what i don't get though is, why are we praying to god in jesus' name if jesus christ is not the mediator of the "other sheep" but only of the "little flock?
we are instead taught that only by associating ourselves with the watchtower society can we hopefully/maybe be saved.

Jesus' unWitnesses
by stichione inthe watchtower magazines have a section entitled "life stories" where the testimonies of persons who have spent their entire lives in the service of the organization or bethel are narrated.
in the september 1st 2002 watchtower magazine on page 25 i found the story of gladys allen who recounts almost 60 years of her life spent as first a regular then special pioneer.
typical of miss allen but evident in many other of these testimonies, i find that mention is made of wts publications, governing body members, theocratic schools attended etc.

by stichione inin a watchtower magazine article of september 1, 1951 entitled "hated for his name", an era of 10 persecution of christians is discussed.
but just to show how little insight the writer of this article shows, it goes on stating:.
-it is said that in the year 95 alone some 40,000 suffered martyrdom.
