How much longer?
by JeffT ini had this thought while reading the co visit thread, and decided to make it a separate topic.. how much longer can they keep beating the slaves before there is a rebellion?
it is obvious that the trickle of people that are leaving is growing, and growing enough to make them worried.
at some point it may become a flood.

more yahweh: "i am the alpha and the omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end.

Christianity and Enforced Unity
by Gozz infrequently, jws will argue that the unity of the congregation is inviolable.
that has been the case in the ongoing child molestation cases, where a number of those involved have been expelled based ont he allegation of "sowing discord".
my correspondences with jws on several levels have shown that this is the current, and most attractive explanation to justify the expulsion/disfellowshipping of those championing the child molestation cases.

NOT IMAGE OF CROSS IN 4/1/02 WATCHTOWER ON PAGE 7!
by Derrick inin the watchtower magazine on page 7 it is claimed in postings on this site that there is the image of a cross in some artwork.. i'm holding a watchtower magazine (4/1/02) and on page 7, upper-right, is the tetragrammaton.
this is a good "control" image to compare in scans that might appear on the internet because it is too faint to reliably reproduce with a high-resolution scanner.
the background is faint yellow, and the tetragrammaton itself is white (the same white as the page itself).

Greg Stafford's New Book Has Shipped
by AlanF intoday i received greg stafford's new book three dissertations on the teachings of jehovah's witnesses.
for those who don't know, stafford has been a staunch defender of the watchtower society's teachings for at least six years, on the net and in print.
his previous book, jehovah's witnesses defended (1998, 2000), is a milestone in pro-jw literature.. the new book is a radical departure from stafford's previous book in that he strongly questions the society's doctrines about blood transfusions, the basis for the claim of spiritual authority by jw leaders, the necessity for christians to believe the society's 1914 doctrine, and issues of "legalism" including the propriety of requiring "time" in the field ministry to be reported, and even the supposed scriptural basis for the society's ban on celebrating birthdays and christmas.
