  It's basically articals from the 80s they changed a little wording. Haven't been new light for decades. And I don't see the information that God don't like tight pants but he's okay with bears as new light 😁😂😊

  * Lap dancing is defined as “an activity in which a
  usually seminude performer sits and gyrates on the
  lap of a customer.” Depending on the facts of an actual
  situation, this could constitute sexual immorality
  requiring judicial action. A Christian who has taken
  part in such activity should seek help from the
  elders.—Jas. 5:14, 15.

  Lap dancing bad could require judicial action. Pedophilia needs two witnesses for us to deal with it before we sweep it under the rug and destroy evidence.

  Thanks for sharing the highlights from the Watchtower The Fall Guy.

  Page 21, par. 13 - “The faithful and discreet slave” does not exercise control over the thoughts of individuals, and neither do the elders.
  

  
  I was flabbergasted that they wrote this since it's very much what they are trying to do. They want the JW to think that their thoughts are their own and not dictated by the organization. This again just comes down to controlling their thoughts by trying to suggest that they don't do it.
  
  They are being bombarded with comments from ex JWs and observers, tellingg them that they are in a controlling cult and all the FDS can come up with is to tell the JWs that they aren't controlling them, without anything to support this position.
  
  This is supported by the previous comment that you wrote from the article.
  
  

  Page 18, par. 1 - “Get behind me, Satan! You are a stumbling block to me, because you think, not God’s thoughts, but those of men.” (Matt. 16:21-23)

  So JW's have not to think about the thoughts of (8) men????????

  
  They will not acknowledge that often times it is their thoughts (mens) that are being put forward through their publications. One just has to read any Watchtower to see how they continually speculate about things and make suggestions as to how the individual should view things. They are outside and additional to what is written in the Bible.
  
  Once again, they are suggesting that their words are the words of God, their information is coming from God, not men's and not of this world under the influence of Satan.
  
  If they want to play that game then since our imperfection is born from Satan then anytime they err, it is not from God but from Satan. Therefore their 'old light' and their damaging policies are from Satan, not God.
  
  

  Page 31, QFR - Jesus counseled his apostles not to seek a position of prominence among their fellow believers

  
  So he did. Then why does the GB print their life stories in the pages of the Watchtower and why do they publish photo's of themselves? Why do they televise themselves before 8 million followers even though their quality as speakers is extremely poor? There must be hundreds a JWs who are much better speakers than them and there must be thousands, if not millions of JWs who could stand before a camera, reading a script verbatim as well as them. Amusingly, they even read sectioons of the Bible for their online audio version.

  Lap dancing and human sexuality are awesome. Every thing on this planet wants to have sex. If there is a God, he designed us this way.

  Humans are “a little lower than angels” according to the Bible. I guess that means 98% related to Bonobos?

  We are more genetically related to Bonobos ( the only other primates to face each other during mating ) than Indian Elephants are related to African Elephants.

  If we aren’t supposed to be sexual, then Jeehoober did a shit-job designing us.

  Regarding lap dancing, Bro. Breaux already covered this in detail:

  'A woman grinds her clothed genitals against a man's leg. He gets an erection, but doesn't ejaculate. Is this pornea?'

  Fally - Page 18, par. 1 - “Get behind me, Satan! You are a stumbling block to me, because you think, not God’s thoughts, but those of men.” (Matt. 16:21-23)

  "The Governing Body is neither inspired nor infallible. Therefore, it can err in doctrinal matters or in organizational direction." -- Feb 2017 Watchtower

  So much for those bozos then! They are 'just imperfect men™' with men's thoughts. Kind of shot themselves in the foot.

  May I ask how it works....some dude enjoyed a lap dance and then he has to ask elders help him? Help him do what!?? Get the most out of the experience? How are they to do that if they are unacquainted with that particular art form? This all sounds very Looney to me. If such entertainment is considered by the wtbs to be lewd...so what. If someone chooses to indulge...so what?

  Yes the fake god did a shit-job.
  
  You need air all the time or you die.
  You have to eat all the time or die.
  You need shelter from about 90% of the earth or you die.
  All you have to do is trip wrong and you can die.
  I could go on and on.

  Plush the fake god could not write a book that 2 people in the world could agree on what fake god wants from them.

  Also of more recently, the days 'text' of Sat July 28,2018. They did again. They admitted they 'are not inspired or infallible'. Can ''err in doctrinal matters or organizational direction''.

  And about year ago, Gerrit Loesch admitted the 'faithful slave is not inspired'. That's actually 3 times they said this in recent memory.

  JW's reading this, it's time to start thinking and '''open your minds''.

  Lap dancing is defined as “an activity in which a usually seminude performer sits and gyrates on the lap of a customer.”

  Whew! Thanks for the definition WT!

  So, I understand:

  • activity
  • sits
  • lap
  • performer and
  • customer

  But I’m a little fuzzy on the meaning of: “gyrates.”

  Brother WT conducter, could you please explain “gyrates” to me? Maybe if you gave a little demonstration we’d all understand it a bit better.

  And while you’re at it, perhaps you could tell us how you came to have this special “knowledge.”
