As an independent, outspoken critic of the Watch Tower organization, I know, “The more profile, the more scrutiny.” Inasmuch as I write many articles, posts and blogs, there is opportunity for criticism of my integrity and honesty if I make certain claims without proof such as saying, “Thousands of Witnesses die each year when they need whole blood or some major blood components that JWs leaders don’t approve of.”

In answer to those who have inquired where I arrived at that figure stated in one of my lectures, “Why It Is Dangerous to Associate With Jehovah’s Witnesses” (http://www.randallwatters.org/live/sociology/other/why-it-is-dangerous-to-associate-with-jehovahs-witnesses.html), which I delivered in France and Italy, I will attempt to explain my position.

I don't disagree with the fact that Jehovah’s Witnesses are somewhat dangerous and usually go for the low hanging fruit. Anyone with a curious, questioning mind who doesn't immediately accept the dogma is usually given the lowest priority from an individual Jehovah’s Witness or a congregation. Which brings us to a very important key to helping Jehovah’s Witnesses leave if they feel trapped.

There has been a lot of misinformation concerning the Wrongful Death lawsuit I filed against the Watch Tower Society (WTS). That misinformation is due to the fact that the media has not been accurate in their reporting and because of the WTS propaganda machine.  I wish to explain to you the facts as I know them.

Recently the Supreme Court of Canada (SCC) turned down my application to hear arguments on the issue of,  “Conflict of Interest”.  The SCC only decides to hear cases that would help make certain laws better. The SCC only hears about one case out of ten. The application I filed, I knew would be a long shot but I felt it was worth the effort.  The fact that the SCC decided not to hear the arguments concerning  “Conflict of Interest” has no impact on my lawsuit.  The lawsuit against the WTS Lawyers and Watchtower itself can go to Trial.  I will explain!  MORE

From the April 15, 2010 Watchtower article:

Holy Spirit’s Role in the Outworking of Jehovah’s Purpose

13 Third, holy spirit is at work in bringing Bible truths to light. (Prov. 4:18) This magazine has long been used by “the faithful and discreet slave” as the primary channel for dispensing increased light. (Matt. 24:45) For example, consider our understanding of those who make up “this generation” mentioned by Jesus. (Read Matthew 24:32- 34.) To what generation did Jesus refer? The article “Christ’s Presence—What Does It Mean to You?” explained that Jesus was referring, not to the wicked, but to his disciples, who were soon to be anointed with holy spirit. Jesus’ anointed followers, both in the first century and in our day, would be the ones who would not only see the sign but also discern its meaning—that Jesus “is near at the doors.”

14 What does this explanation mean to us? Although we cannot measure the exact length of “this generation,” we do well to keep in mind several things about the word “generation”: It usually refers to people of varying ages whose lives overlap during a particular time period; it is not excessively long; and it has an end. (Ex. 1:6) How, then, are we to understand Jesus’ words about “this generation”? He evidently meant that the lives of the anointed who were on hand when the sign began to become evident in 1914 would overlap with the lives of other anointed ones who would see the start of the great tribulation. That generation had a beginning, and it surely will have an end. The fulfillment of the various features of the sign clearly indicate that the tribulation must be near. By maintaining your sense of urgency and keeping on the watch, you show that you are keeping up with advancing light and following the leadings of holy spirit.—Mark 13:37.

Well, this change should buy out another 60 years or so before Armageddon may come! Such brilliant leaders of the Watchtower. See chart with the history of the changes by clicking READ MORE

Facebook.

Yes, thats right, apparantly, the GB is concerned because a lot of people are having "Facebook sex". They are meeting old friends who aren't Jehovah's Witnesses and getting it on with whomever would willingly sleep with them. Evidentally, the GB would like their flock to believe that when JW's get on Facebook and other social networking sites, fornication happens.

Now, this IS news. Because most people who are on Facebook, or Twitter, or other social networds, are clearly not having sex, as evidenced by the fact that they are actually typing status updates or playing games like Farmville.

This was used as more "evidence" that really, because the internet is of "the world that is controlled by Satan", JW's are really better off staying away, limiting their own use of the internet. Because too much use could only weaken their faith.

So why would the Governing Body lie about this?

#36 Letter From Home

Dear Randy,

I didn't write last week because we was kinda expecting you to visit as it was Maw's birthday and all and then I remembered that we don't celebrate birthdays anymore and Bubba had to lug all that Elderberry wine back down to the cellar. He took down a case and drank a bottle, took down another case and drank another bottle and after the fifth trip down he just stayed down there. It was the first evening we was all at home fer quite a spell.

We had quite an uproar at the Book Study at brother Newley's trailer last week. This note was pinned on the trailer door when we got there. It was from sister Sandy and she wrote: "My husband and I are under attack by demons." Most of us have had similar things happen. A while back Maw got a dictionary at a rummage sale and when she got it home she just put it on the shelf with the rest of our kingdom books and NWT Bibles with the big print that Aunt Hilda reads when she comes to visit and forgot about it. Six days, six hours, and six minutes later we had a bad leak in the plumbing near the second floor toilet that ruined the plaster in the ceiling and the wall. Later that week we had a floor drain back up in the cellar and an increase in the speed of the drip in the laundry sink faucet.
