WTS Addresses Child Abuse - er, kind of...
by iiz2cool inmy wife, who is intent on re-activating herself as a dub since i da'd myself, went to the convention this past weekend.
she showed me this new publication entitled "learn from the great teacher", and placed great emphasis on these two pages i scanned and am posting.
it makes a poor show of telling children what to do when confronted by a child abuser.

"The Practice" Blood and a Jehovahs Witness
by plmkrzy intonight channel 7 (abc) 11:00 p.m. pacific time.
tonight on the practice, the attorney's are going to trial to battle against a jehovah's witness who is refusing to allow a daughter (i think it's a daughter) to have a blood transfusion.
they are arguing that the victim is not a jw and the jws are interfering where they do not belong.. i dont know if this is a repeat or not.

To AlanF and others! What legal means can be used to stop JC's?
by cyberguy into allan f. and others, what legal means did you use to stop judicial committees from dfng you?
since i was baptized as a teenager, can i use this to my advantage, since i was not of "legal" age to enter into a contract with the watchtower society (i was baptized in 1973)?
also, in my 30s i was appointed an "elder.

The Watchtower Society and the Bulgarian connection - hypocrisy in action?
by joe_from_kokomo infriends: .
i was shocked to learn yet again of more hypocrisy on the part of the wts with regard to human rights agreements in bulgaria.
from what i have learned from a july 2000 article on the uk guardian newspaper web site and from subsequent info found on the association of jws for reform on blood web site, .

Baptism Nullification- will it work for you?
by joe_from_kokomo indear friends: .
however, it appears to have been effective, as i have not heard a peep from anyone at bethel or the local elders either.
from our point of view, we are now free of the entrapments of the watchtower cult, and i feel that it is important to share this with those of you who may need an alternative to the two "official" methods of leaving: disfellowshipping or disassociation.

Old WatchTower Magazines
by ClassAvenger ini was wondering where i can get some watchtower magazines, the really old ones where they teach about all those prophecies and stuff.
i was thinking of collecting a few to show them to my jw friend, but i have heard they are hard to find.
i have also heard about some magazines being in cd-roms, but i don't think a jw would accept that, i think they would want harder evidence.

Paying interest on a Kingdom Hall loan, is it interest or mortgage ???
by run dont walk ini have read several threads where the general concession is, a new kingdom hall being built that needs a loan is usually 3 % .
let's say this is true (for the sake of arguement).
now i just renewed my mortgage at 5 % interest, sounds great doesn't it, but the first 5 years 50% of your money is going to interest and 50 % to principal, because the bank makes you pay the interest first.
