I'll get to the logistics of rerouting the FM transmissions in a few but have to respond to the following first (my comments are in RED):
"He who has endured to the end is the one who will be saved."
Dumbshits don't know this means being faithful to Jesus.
And yes, I endured. All three days.
You Rule, Dude.
To start with, the whole THEME of the talk, "Godly Obedience" was about obedience to the Faithful Slave Class (no evidence of why they are faithful) and the elders.
Typical cult reinforcement technique.
Elders are DIRECTLY appointed by Jehovah.
Yeah, like He really needs the expertise of some self-inflated maintenance men.
So what happens if an elder doens't follow FDS instructions and does something wrong? We still obey them.
***** Important WT doctrine******
The speaker used the account of Uzzah (who grabbed hold of the ark because it nearly fell) and David, who committed adultery with Bathsheba. Uzzah died for his "irreverant act", but David was Jehovah's anointed.
In other words, David sinned, and he was still King - he still ruled; elders still sin, but they are still APOINTED by Jehovah, so we should obey them.
WTF is this supposed to prove?
A whole talk was devoted to showing LOYALTY to the visible organisation Jehovah is using, and this of course is the "Faithful Slave" (TM)
Very reminiscent of the March 1979 WT Study article.
If any of you have the program, you will notice that there is NOT A SINGLE TALK about Jesus Christ - our savior and redeemer didn't get an honorable mention over the course of three days.
He ain't shit in the WTBTS playbook. Forget about Him. He don't count. The FDS is the REAL DEAL here.
The speakers only refer to Jesus when it harmonizes with their doctrine, notably, "You will be witnesses of me" or "Go therefore and make disciples."
They do love lip service.
It was Jehovah this, or Jehovah that, or obey Jehovah.
Poor illegitimate bastards don't know Jehovah.
The whole convention was full of thinly veiled implied threats of DEATH if you didn't serve Jehovah fully.
Bastards used that same flawed reasoning on me when I DF'd thge GB for apostasy, too. That's the WT tale. I sit on mine.
"Is it enough brothers to attend all the meetings and have a token share in field service?"
Romans 10:9 comes to mind here.
The Drama was OK, but again, higher education WAS STRONGLY condemned.
Wash windows, clean floors, wait tables and be happy. RIGHT.
Youths, are you pursuing spirital goals like TIMOTHY? In the drama, it was alluded to that if you have a family, are comfotable and doing well financially, THIS IS WRONG? Young people - what are your spiritual goals?
If they have any brains at all their spiritual goals will be to investigate the WTBTS thoroughly before checking in with the Demonz that control it.
In other words, all young people should be REGULAR PIONEERS - full time service, Bethel service, Gilead School, MTS school
Are the benefits competitive with other publishing firms?
This directly contradicts what the Bible says, namely, that some will be EVANGELIZERS, some wil be TEACHERS others will be SHEPHARDS.
The GB don't believe the bible. Any new light here?
The Society wants your SOUL young ones!!!!
Either alive and snared or offfered as a sacrifice to the WT god of hate and death.
There was a talk about "Reaching out" - if you are a brother with no responsibilities, GODLY OBEDIENCE should make you reach out.
They give a demo on the platform about a young brother who notices that the elders in his congregation are doing the microphones, the sound systems etc. This young brother is thinking out loud to himself, about how he should be reaching out and how GODLY OBEDIENCE will move him to do this.
Poor bastard don't know how to reach out except to go out more in FS or just lie about how many hours he spent at Starbucks sipping coffee and having fantasies about the bitchin' coffee servers.
As a poster mentioned on here earlier, the ENTIRE program is devoid of love, compassion and charitable works. There was no commendation, nothing new and more of the old "Do More".
Demons don't give commendation.
What an utter waste of time.
I right with you on this brutha.
They even had a talk, "Return to the Shepherd of Your Souls", for inactive ones to go back to "Jehovah's Organization"
Go ahead and off me WT god. I don't wanna live forever with a bunch of back stabbers and gossipers. Do it slow or do it fast but be sure to make my death last... I don't want no resurrection to the WT pair-o-dice. Opt my ass out. Thanks.
I have this to say: The GB must be desparate. In times past, you would not hear all this rhetoric about "obeying the slave", now it's a relentless drumbeat for EACH and EVERY talk.
That's because all those apostates have infiltrated Joe Hoba's organisation and are crunching the JW numbers all to pieces.
The more fear they instill, the more guilty the average dub becomes.
That's the way they like it!!!
It's a sick religion and it must end.
Whaaaat? No mo' JW's? No mo' cult? No mo' place for the brain dead?
