Murdering, child raping JW denied parole

noreply@blogger.com (e-watchman) — Thu, 26 Feb 2009 09:45:00 +0000

The ex-husband of a JW woman, who was murdered along with her two children by her JW husband, apparently persuaded the parole board to turn down Jeffery Anderson's bid for parole. Evidently the Society and the local elders were indirectly responsible for the triple murder because of having counseled the abused wife to return to her psychopathic, child-molesting husband. Dutifully following the elder's counsel resulted in her murder and the murder of her children.

The surviving ex-husband is also the author of a book entitled: Wolves Among Sheep-The True Story of Murder in a Jehovah's Witness Community

Staggering Catholic hypocrisy

noreply@blogger.com (e-watchman) — Sun, 30 Nov 2008 15:41:00 +0000

An article appearing in the Catholic News Service accuses the leadership of the Watchtower of taking advantage of biblical illiteracy; this from an organization that once outlawed the reading of the Bible and burned people at the stake for daring to translate the Bible into common languages. The Catholic News Service accuses the WT of inserting the name of Jehovah into the Scriptures in 6,000 places. Perhaps the writer of the article is unaware that the Catholic New Jerusalem Bible used the name Yahweh in the same way.
