I did apologize for removing a pioneer (service comm.) who had a fall out with an elder. She was right, he was wrong. She was a woman. he was an elder. Need I say more?

Too many times they act like a police force.
It really is a kiss ass club. If your in with the elders your golden. Offend 0ne and your done with the whole body.
They are afraid of the Society first, God second.

why not count the lives lost or ruin because of the Botchtower?

Just curious, what have some of you done with your exspensive book bags?
by Singing Man ini use my book bag to store my computer soft ware in its perfect for that.
and as for all the old issues of magazines i used them to start my wood stove on those cold mornings.
one time i asked for a lot of older issues from the friends so i could use them to line the bottom of my camp tent, they were more than happy to give them to me.

ZERO HELP in 20 years
Plenty of emotional abuse.
When they lovingly wanted to discipline me, I told them to kiss my butt.
Sometimes it makes me so sad that it took so long to see what a truely self center organization this is.

WT = Satan?
by Faraon inan idea has crossed my mind.. i don't think that any other religion uses the words "new light" more than the watchtower.. satan is also known as lucifer.. but the root words for lucifer are the latin "lux" which means "light", and "ferre" which means "to carry".
lucifer actually means "the light carrier".
imho, this would make the gb the equivalent of lucifer.

Doesn't the scriptures say "and no wonder for Satan himself transfering himself into an angel of "new" light?"

I know of 2 and a 3rd one was an attempt. The only details I know is the brother who attempted the suicide was upset that his hours for the feild ministry were low due to advanced age. These people in New York (GB) really, really piss me off for what they do to people. "Happiest people on earth" is pure Watchtower BS....

THEY'VE DONE IT!!!! The WBTS set a new date!
by dmouse inthe latest watchtower, dec 15th 2003, is an out and out attack on the rank and file for dropping into a drowsy state spiritually.
ok, so armageddon didn't come before the generation of 1914 grew old and died.
but does that mean that the big a isn't near?

They steal time, energy, and money in the name of God. When one prediction fails, new light shows up just in time it keep it all going. No apologies for mistakes. It is no wonder that the witnesses are so hard headed, they have good teachers(FDS).
