  Homerovah the Almighty

  The fine folks at HQ have been spewing out this organization's self supporting propaganda for quite awhile now

  it takes twist and turns in different directions from year to year, from month to month, ideologically contravening

  what may have been said from previous statements.

  Another name for the GB members could be " Marketing Engineers " who are related to god so they are allowed to get

  away with anything.

  It is highly probable that they will continue in this fashion in the years to come.

  Its ironic when you think that the people that have to have the least amount of faith in this

  organization are the very ones that actually control and orchestrate it.........Raymond Franz comes to mind !

  RULES & REGULATIONS

  	Watchtower July 1, 2002, p.13, paragraph 17-19 Now is the time for Jehovah to express mercy to his anointed servants and their other sheep companions. The evidence that this is so is the extraordinary increase with which he has blessed them… 18. Each year, hundreds of thousands of additional "foreigners" associate with Jehovah's organisation, and the way will remain open for many more to follow them. Jehovah says to Zion: "Your gates will actually be kept open constantly; they will not be closed even by day or by night, in order to bring to you the resources of the nations, and their kings will be taking the lead" (Isaiah 60:11) Some opposers try to close those 'gates,' but we know that they cannot succeed. Jehovah himself has said that one way or another, the gates will stay open. The increase will continue. 19. There are still other ways that Jehovah has blessed his people, making them beautiful in these last days. [Emphasis Added]
  	Examining the Scriptures Daily, May 19th, 2002 Of course, the number of those associated with Jehovah's Witnesses is not a criterion for determining if they enjoy divine favor.

  Good reasoning simon....too bad they are not allowed to. I have a thread somehere about a current teaching that is direct conflict with itself...flagrantly....they teach the ancient manuscripts of the Bible are incredibly accurate...that almost no major changes have been made to it...that jehovah would never let his word be contaminated...that the oldest copy of John dates to within 20 years of his death so no major changes could have occured in just 20 years and this copy matches up well with much newer ones....YET!.....at the same frikkin time...they say that a MAJOR offence has occured with the name Jehovah having been removed from EVERY SINGLE ANCIENT MANUSCRIPT IN THE WORLD!!!.........so they decided for themselves where this must have occurred and "restored" it...even though there is not a shred of evidence it was ever there....dammm liars.....oompa
