    Every week, the WTS leaves Jesus out of the picture even in articles that purport to be around him. By the 3rd paragraph, it's all about God and Jesus becomes an impersonal tool. Around Christmas the WTS puts Jesus back in at least one of the canned presentations in the KM and have one magazine with Jesus on the cover. It used to be when the WTS no longer charged for pubs they could no longer feature the WTS (Xmas present) but feature the Greatest Man book instead.

    God

    Jesus

    FDS/GB/WTS

    non-anointed jws cannot reach Jesus or have a relationship with him without going through the WTS organization.

    My heart skipped a couple of beats when I read through the program and realized I will be out enjoying life (i.e. riding my bike, swimming, fishing)instead of sitting on my ass for days listening to that mindless crap and eating bagged lunches and starchy dinners. Hmmm.....I wonder who will really have a healthier heart?

    Wasn't there going to be a part "Enemies of God's Kingdom--Apostates"? Or did I miss something?

    Theres gonna be a hell of a lot of 'you cant do this, and you cant do that' going on on that weekend!!

    I feel so sorry for the poor young people dragged along to that crapfest! Im so glad my kids are out of that lifestyle.

    I took my 8 yr old to a concert last night and after 1/2hr of thoroughly entertaining music which he was enjoying he just couldnt keep still any longer. It was in the same place our conventions are held and it made me think about how I used to make him sit through 3 days of that total BS!

    I had trouble seeing how Prov 6:20 " observe o my son the commandments of your father, and do not forsake the law of your mother." Really pointed to the FDS as being mother. Theyre so weird.

    Billy that was hilarious. I couldnt believe what id just said when I said it out loud. ROFL

    Billy said, "I noticed right away that on the Friday morning symposium "Beware of Dangerous Heart Conditions!", they neglected to include the dangerous heart condition, hoof-hearted."

    This is one of the problems with taking the Bible completely literal. Perhaps they are going back to the idea they had in the 70's that when the Bible talked about the "heart" or "heart condition" that it literally meant the blood pumping muscle heart.

    Which would mean that the "heart" has it's own brain that is in competition with the, ugh..., well brain; let me try to explain, in the conflict of the the brain's brain but not the reasoning part of the brain of the heart, because that is the heart. As the conductor said, "Let's move on to the next paragraph we are running short on time".

    Therefore, as the mad scientist taught before the blood pumping heart can reason and deceive us and be "hoof hearted". I somewhat remember as a kid sitting through this WT study thinking "what the, and who the son of a hampster thought to write this"? They eventually came to a new light that quietly swept this teaching behind. I'll bet this writer was moved to the electrical repair department and prescribed regular enemas.
