A Bethel Crisis

    I gotta wonder if the organization will be forced
    to make big changes because of 'reaping what they've
    sown'.

    Witness kids get critical thought beaten out of them.
    New converts have dried up. College was discouraged
    for so long - and those who go often end up 'out of
    the truth'. The 'truth' has been dumbed down for so
    long, they've driven out most people with any deep
    thinking ability. Even those with natural intelligence
    DUMB THEMSELVES DOWN to remain loyal! - like a Bethelite
    I know who sounds like a three year old when discussing
    the organization. And local congregations? How do these
    people hold jobs or do their taxes?

    Result? The organization is getting dumber and less
    competent every year. I don't know how they can keep
    Bethel running efficiently.

    For further evidence of how flat footed and dumb they
    are, I look at the responses the Society gives over
    the phone in response to critical questions - like
    the UN thing or the Bulgarian scandal or countless
    inquiries about problems with rebellious kids
    ("we don't know about emancipation. we never heard
    of ToughLove.")

    By carefully keeping their collective mouths shut,
    these theocratic goons have let people imagine that
    they are more capable and aware than they actually are.

    As this drama unfolds, we all will find out what
    screw-ups the Watchtower leadership actually are.

    Yup.

    Just waiting.

    But the 'Society' has so much forward momentum and sheer fanaticism present in the R&F that we're still going to have to wait centuries for it to die a natural death, I reckon.

    you may be right - you could have a 'body' still living
    with no brain.

    God, this is sick!

    Call the Watchtower the "dumb and dumber"
    organization!

    In Canada there is always discussion about the brain drainwhich is the emmigration from Canada of the most intelligent, creative and educated professionals who go to the US drawn by higher wages and better working conditions.

    I have considered the same brain drain from the ranks of not only Bethel members but also the rank and file of Jehovah's Witnesses. It is not only a drain of brains, but also a drain of the most compassionate, non=judgemental, discerning, open-minded, non-biggoted.

    Jesus spoke of the separation of sheep and goats. The WT says this separation is yet in the future or is it already past? For me, this separation is taking place right now as far as looking at JWs goes. Paul exhorts Christians to go to Him, outside the camp.. There are words in the Bible where it says that the weeds are gathered together in bundles and burnt Jesus also said that two would be in one bed (eg. Bethel) one would be taken along and the other left. He doesn't say which one is the righteous. It could go either way. He says two will be in the field {eg. pioneer service)again one taken, one left. Even on this discussion board, we see polarizations. Atheist versus fundies, Bible searcher versus scientist and many more. Puritans verse libertines, smokers versus non-smokers.

    If you are within this JW organization , the time of the end is NOW, all the texts in the Bible that talk of the end time are applicable to us now. Just as there are stages in a man's life, birth, childhood, youth, adulthood and old age. This organization is in its old age, let her die and be renewed. Each individual faces a choice,
    stick with her and die with her, or abandon her and be renewed.

    This organization is going to put to the test
    the phrase
    "too stupid to live"

    It ain't gonna be pretty.

    These guys can be beaten - there's never been more
    proof of that than now. Even if the average Witness is
    a brain dead zombie, a few missteps, a few lawsuits,
    and the whole thing could wither away. Remove the cash
    flow and see what happens.

    Parody WT Article
    **Is Bethel In Crisis?**

    Some may want to ask, is the hard working brothers and sisters of Jehovah's loving organization feeling the "hard labors"? (out of context scripture-PickABook 23:10). Certainly not! We are hard at work at ... [Oh my god! It's all a lie! This author is painting a pretty picture of a living hell! Please, send someone to save us. They're threatning to take our only know lively hood of free labor in printing away! I'm in grave danger in this revelation. I hear the footsteps of 12 old men coming up the stairway as I edit this column. Send help, anyone...please! I hear their moans as they approach, the low gutteral of "Braaiiinnz, Braaaiiinzz". I'm trapped, there's no way out. They've boarded up all the windows in guise of our safety! Just the other day, Brother Faithful disappeared after when he questioned the Governing Body about the lunch meal. He wondered why they were serving rats as the main course! The door is breached! I'm done for! Someone save me! -Ed]

    So you can see, we are truly happy in doing Jehovah's work, and supplying Jehovah Witnesses world wide the "meat in due season".

    these theocratic goons have ...


    Ohh, Pulleeze be careful with that Harsh Language, metatron.

    Some (xjW) chuckleheads on this board will think you're calling
    their Dub Mommas and Daddies, GOONS and IDIOTS and SUCKERS
    and THEO-THUGS and TERRORISTS and such...
    and,
    I've come to find out they take it very personally.

    Even if you and I are the first to admit that is what WE once were...

    The thin-skinned x-Dubs here will try and persuade you that
    "flies are more attracted to honey, than vinegar".

    (are they calling their own Mommas and Daddies, BUGS?!?)

    I always thought flies were more attracted to SHIT than honey or vinegar! We just have to help them realize they've been eating SHIT,
    otherwise called: "Food-From-jehovah-Of-The-Watchtower's-Table"...
    and convincing them they are eating Shit,
    ain't pretty persuasion.

    Just a thought...

    If you'll read my thread entitled "When I called Patterson yesterday..." you'll see the response of one of the Patterson lame brains. He said he "didn't care if the WBTS was a part of the UN."

    HUH???

    They really have gotten dumber with time.

    Next they'll say they don't mind the GB celebrating Christmas, that there must be a good reason for it! [8>]
