,"Such love was evident at our conventions.From June through December 2003,delegates from more than a hundred lands traveled to 32 international conventions held on six continents.Missionaries,international servants,and Bethelites in foreign service were interviewed at district and international conventions."
Well now we see how JWs show Christlike love.
Is it feeding the hungry as Jesus said to do?
Is it taking care of the homeless?
Is it taking care of the elderly?
Is it doing anything that Jesus said His followers would be doing?
Is it being Christ like in any way shape or form?
NO it is not.
Because the WTS has decided that Jesus' commands that His followers should be doing these things don't have any bearing on them, they have decided that they would show love by attending conventions.
Yes brothers and sisters. Our love is shown by attending all meetings and purchasing and selling our books and magazines.
Paraphrasing here.
No. You need not feed that starving person there. Show your love. Offer them the latest magazines.
Yes brothers. That homeles person would shure be uplifted by having the latest books.
Never mind that fatherless child brothers and sisters. They will not be interested in our publications.
And JWs say that the WTS is not a book publishing company masquerading as a religion?
Oh yes. They are certainly doing a lot of meeting attendence. Attending many many sales meetings.
And going out distributing many books and magazines.
It's to bad that they are waisting thier time with doing this because distributing books and magazines that has constantly changing info in them, IS NOT preaching Christ' message.
And they are NOT doing what Jesus said that His followers would be doing.
So at least we know that the WTS has a different meaning for the word love.
Love: attending all meetings.

Jehovah's Witnesses are HATED!!!!! That is the big theme here. ......"The faithful slave class, represented by the Governing Body"-----I don't seem to recall it put exactly that way before.

Bible knowledge can help us to shun"artfully contrived false stories" and to remain faithful to Jehovah
You know, I read that through twice and never picked that line up. Yet..it must have gone into my subconscious mind just the same as it will go into your average dubs subconscious mind. The way that the WT writes is almost subliminal, you can see how dubs get brainwashed just by slowly going over that statement from the yearbook.Englishman.

Read between the lines and discern what they're afraid of:
Assimilation
Loss of the next generation of young Witnesses
What are they doing about it?
Nothing - except nagging and finger waving. No new ideas, no inspired proposals, zip, nada, nothing.
... and that's probably for the best - cutting off their future of continued deception and broken families.

"temporary residents in a dying stystem of things"? I must have missed that scripture!
The whole thing is sickening. I find it hard to understand why anyone would subject themselves to this treatment.
Really "uplifting" stuff -

Narkissos, yes "vieux cons" describes the old geezers much better than anything we could say in English !
Bible knowledge can help us to shun"artfully contrived false stories" and to remain faithful to Jehovah.---2 Pet.1:16; 3:11
just amazing.... artfully contrived false stories.... they must be thinking about all the bad press they've had these last 2 years about their protection of pedophiles amongst them.... What would a JW answer if you asked him/her if the reports of child abuse in the Catholic Church shouldn't be believed either, it's just "artfully contrived false stories" made up to make the Church look bad ?
Parents,as you bring up your children in the discipline and mental--regulating of Jehovah,are you helping them to set spiritual goals and to "keep on the watch"? ( Eph.6:4 )Are you training them to view their future as the wisest person ever to walk the earth viewed his?Jesus could of been the greatest carpenter,inventor,or physician who ever lived,but instead he pursured the full--time ministry.May his example move you to help your children put Kingdom interests first in their life.
Jesus could have been.... but instead he pursued the full time ministry.... Hahaha Ha ha ha, that's too funny ! He didn't come to earth to pursue a career in science or whatever, he came to be crucified at age 33 to save us... it's what the Bible says, isn't it? He didn't really have a choice, did he? So the Vieux Cons (tm) are still trying to keep youngsters away from higher education ! Sickening! -

If there's anything these old farts excel at, it's spinning "an artfully contrived story" or two!

Oh no... it is not a cult that demands total obedience! Everyone is free to choose what they do with their own lives... the WTS is NOT trying to control the people!
The faithful slave class,represented by the Governing Body,
Yup... they finally up and said it without him-hawing around.
Lets see here... the FDS is:
