WT orders JAIL instead of a FINE
by Smiles inif a jw were to be arrested for their preaching work or otherwise pursued by law authorities for their preaching work, the wt instructs jw's to voluntarily choose jail time instead of simply paying the fines to avoid jail and maintain their freedom.. on page 81 of the "defending and legally establishing the good news" booklet the wt orders:.
"the apostles in ancient times did not pay fines.
today jehovah's witnesses follow the course of the apostles when convicted for refusing to stop preaching the gospel.

JW kids molesting kids......
by Smiles inwe know thw jw congregations have concealed adult pedophiles.
recently, we have been made aware that jw congregations are concealing the youngest of pedophiles, even ages 4-8.. unfortunately, most of the children have been molested themselves by either another jw or an non-jw.
but the molested children themselves are now molesting other children, while they "play" alone together at private homes or even outside the kingdom halls at night after meetings.. the parents and grandparents of the children are aware of the inappropiate behavior of their own children.

"Apostates" to protest International ...
by Smiles inare any "apostates" planning to protest at the upcoming special international conventions?
we heard the wts is going to pull out the surprises.
for those who may not know.... the jws make a big deal out of these special international conventions, often referring to them as 'historical milestone' in jw history.. manys jws, more than the norm, including those without any seniority (unusual), have been hand-picked from many thousands of jw applicants worldwide, to travel to the exciting foreign locations around the world (and 1 or 2 u.s. locations) for the upcoming international conventions.

BIG SURPRISE at upcoming International Conventions
by Smiles inhas anyone else been told about this...... word out of hq bethel has it that the upcoming special international conventions will contain some kind of major information or releases.. we know the gb has been rather quiet the last couple years after their 'reorganizing'.
perhaps because they are facing the sex abuse scandal..... but also likely they have been working on some fancy surprises for the upcoming special international conventions, to excite their masses......... and also try to detract them from the scandals.
it would be good timing of their part.. this should be interesting......... .

WT............Humble or Arrogant?
by Smiles inmany of us know all too well how the wt hierarchy portray themselves and the wt organization itself as exceptionally "humble.
they often suggest that their "humility" helps to prove that they are, as a whole, the elite men of god.. the wt hierarchy is very dogmatic about the "humility" thing, to the point where openly doubting their great claims will harshly land you in the hot seat.. some of these wt statements are quoted below.
after reading these wt quotes please tell us if you think these things prove the wt hierarchy to be humble or arrogant.

Most ridiculous statements from the JW stage?
by Smiles inwe have all sat at jw meetings and heard some ridiculous statements that were either shocking or just plain old bunk.
usually it is the same jw individuals that make those statements time and time again.
you know the type..... you can almost expect such comments from them.. jws place great importance on what statements or persons are 'stage worthy'.
