I'm still amazed at how blatant and, for the Tower, honest this statement was. They must be really hurting. It's also interesting that they've been forced into telling the truth for once. If they were going to follow the former "vague threat" strategy, then a total ban of the internet would be on the cards. This can never be feasible in this day and age, however. So now they're telling the sheep exactly what paddocks they're not allowed to wander into and what to expect if they do. The sheep now know what is out there; the speaker at this assembly has inadvertently been advertising for the competition by actually admitting that there IS competition. And the punters are going to be curious; those with vague doubts will be out there looking for these sites that the Borg have now admitted to exist and the macho cowboys will be looking for us too. This can only be a good thing.

I remember the ''threat'' of the time being:
television ( all three channels)!
Skating rinks
"Worldly Music""
"Worldly Dancing"
''The Generation Gap" , uhg, for a decade, the 70's
Clothes
more than one ear-peircing
disco
tattoo's
movies
peanut butter, (jiff)
lsd
marijuana
and most of all ''demonic influence''!
They just stay attuned to the latest fad, and act accordingly. I'm sure now it is rap music, the internet, tattos, body pircing, tv, movies, ecstacy, marijuana, and most of all, demonic influence!!
Some things never change.

Jesus himself said at Acts 3:23 to listen to this Faithul Slave
Did they actually say this in the talk, using that scripture? If so, they are either changing their understanding of this scripture or deliberately misusing it. Acts 3:22,23 says: "For Moses said, 'The Lord your God will raise up for you a prophet like me from among your own people; you must listen to everything he tells you. Anyone who does not listen to him will be completely cut off from among his people.'" The WTS has always acknowledged that the "prophet like Moses" was Jesus himself, and that he was the one who must be listened to. If they are now applying it to themselves, we have yet another example of their unparalleled arrogance.

Thank you LORD Jesus for making me an apostate....I am so grateful when I read that drivel.... I sat there all those years trying so hard to measure up... Trying so hard to please a god who was never satisfied.Taking beatings because I was a faithful witness. Believing all the "LOVING ELDERS" told me like "Sister if you were a man you would be an elder"" Vanity,Vanity all is vanity That was me,,,,,, I am ashamed I followed imperfect men!! Yup! I am a very imperfect woman.....But HEY Christ set me free..... Sorry if this offends anyone but I do want the eyes of those who are given the job to "see what those apostates are up to".

Wasn't C.T. Russell apostate from the Prebstyrian church?

My advice to anyone hearing such words is, No, he didn't!!
Firstly, the words were the recorded words of Peter, not Jesus.
Secondly, they should be read in context; something the Borg is loathe to do, as we know. The context shows Peter was speaking to Jews about those whom God had sent to them, like Moses and the prophets, culminating in Jesus himself.
It has nothing to say about a "faithful and discreet slave" or about the WTS.
Cheers, Ozzie
