I am organizing a MAJOR Protest Rally at the Watchtower Society HQ in Brooklyn , NY, Thursday, October 13 from 12:00 noon until 3:00pm with dinner and fellowship afterwards. I am planning chartered buses from major centres in Canada and USA. I hope that this will be an historic event and make the International News. You can make a difference. You can help save lives. Contact me if you plan on attending and if you need a seat on a bus or a seat at the dinner.

The sect has recently been in the media for sexual abuse, harbouring pedophiles, and murder through its various controversial health policies.

As you may recall, the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society (WTS) arranged to take my sick daughter into hiding for two months and payed a doctor to prescribe Arsenic. The doctor ant the WTS lawyers convinced Bethany that the Arsenic treatment could cure her.

Two leading Oncologists both agree that my daughter Bethany might be alive today if she had not been fed Arsenic. As you may recall, the WTS arranged to take my sick daughter into hiding for two months and payed a doctor to prescribe Arsenic. The doctor ant the WTS lawyers convinced Bethany that the Arsenic treatment could cure her. Bethany was convinced that she was being cured and was planning on going on a trip and attending school in a months time. The WTS lawyers were recorded in the media on many times , saying that Bethany was being cured by the Arsenic treatment.

The doctor wrote in the medical records that the treatment was Palliative care only ( not curative). The doctor and the WTS lawyers lied to Bethany. No wonder they hide her away for two months and refused to let me or the Child Welfare Department know where they were hiding her. I didn't know where my sick daughter was.

The medical records show that the doctor could have saved my daughters life at any time , right up to the last day, if he had given her blood. Will you help me make a difference and put an end to this killing of men , women and children. If enough of you help, we can put a spotlight on the WTS and the intire world will see it for what it really is. If there is enough media coverage, change will happen. I have two daughters in this religion and I do not what them to die because of this religion.

Last month I had a protest rally and there was only three protestors. We got National media coverage and it was the top news story in Toronto. Imagine how much media coverage we would get if a thousand protestors showed up ?

I already have a bus chartered from the Blue Mountain Christian Retreat and I am now negotiating for a bus from Toronto to Brooklyn.

We got their leader buried here in Pennsylvania. Guy is a freemason. You are going up against a very powerful organization, the Masons and the Jehovah's Witness. All the best!

homophobe against homophobe
by Will Geer Monday, Oct. 17, 2005 at 10:46 AM

In his own determined, often irritating, manner, Harry Hay resisted becoming a model homosexual hero. Nowhere was this more evident than in Hay’s persistent support of NAMBLA’s right to march in gay-pride parades. In 1994, he refused to march with the official parade commemorating the Stonewall riots in New York because it refused NAMBLA a place in the event. Instead, he joined a competing march, dubbed The Spirit of Stonewall, which included NAMBLA as well as many of the original Gay Liberation Front members. Even many of Hay’s more dedicated supporters could not side with him on this.

Will who?

Hay worked as both an extra and ghostwriter in 1930s Hollywood. He developed a passion for theater, and performed on Los Angeles stages with Anthony Quinn in the 1930s, and with Will Geer, who became his lover. Geer took Hay to the San Francisco General Strike of 1935, and indoctrinated him into the American Communist Party.

"Salt of the Earth"

Originally blacklisted when it was released in 1954 - is a film about
the zinc mine strike and allegations that Communists controlled the
militant Mine-Mill local. Featuring a prominent role for blacklisted
actor Will Geer (later famous as Grandpa on TV's The Waltons), the story intensifies when the strikers are forced to stop picketing and their wives take up the cause.

"For all the vicissitudes of its troubled history, Salt of the Earth
remains a fragile celluloid monument to [the] culture of resistance."
-James J. Lorence, Suppression of Salt of the Earth: How Hollywood, Big Labor, and Politicians Blacklisted a Movie in Cold War America.

I am sorry about your daughter

I am so sorry to hear about the loss of your daughter. I have been out of the "cult" known as "Jehovah's Witnesses" for only a year now, after being in it's clutches for over 35 years. Finally Free! I know that the true God, not the Watchtower God, has your daughter in his hands forever more. Peace and love to you.

I am so sorry for what happened to you and your daughter.

I am a present and active member of the Jehovah's Witnesses.

I served at their headquarters at Brooklyn and at their Watchtower Farms. They harbored homosexuals and all kinds of lies. I don't know how to tell them how horrible they are.

I am so sorry for your loss. I hope that a God greater than that of the Jehovah's Witnesses will rescue you from you pain.

I certainly do not believe in the Waththower Organization ANY MORE.

Sincerely

Brother Fred Echeverria. Ph.D.

Honolulu, Hawaii.

WT MUST BE DESTROYED
by SUE CHEVALLIER Saturday, Nov. 12, 2005 at 7:10 PM

Watchtower really must be destroyed because it is an organization of liars, murderers, pedophiles and estate thieves.
We must protect children from being tortured at WT.
Keep on fighting until that dangerous cult falls right on its face real hard!!

Also it should be noted...
by K.M. Tuesday, Mar. 14, 2006 at 9:43 AM

It should also be noted that the Jehovah's Witnesses are not nearly alone in their abuse of children. To crusade against them , you must also crusade against the Catholics, who are also guilty of such things as abusing children,and molesting children. Consider all the "good cathoics" who murder in the name of God. Killing women in abortion clinics, going to war in God's name. At least the Witness's preach and practice peace.
