@jwdaughter - yeah, there were a couple of old dears that got attacked by dogs out witnessing in my hall, their experience was used at assembly because instead of going to hospital they kept witnessing until they got their usual two hours in.

HOW EXACTLY does god communicate with or direct the GB?

by stuckinarut2 in

we're all familiar with the organisations claims (and have seen the flow diagrams in books and mags) that the gb is "directed by god".

in turn, the local elders are "directed by god".

so, how exactly do they suppose this happens?

sparrowdown

I was always thought there was a distinction between spirit "inspired" spirit "directed," the latter being applicable only if someone is working in harmony with standards for christians as set out in the bible/publications.......blah blah blah.

oh who am I kidding -basically the GB are bull shit artists or delusional or a bit of both, and it will come back and bite them on the ass one day.

Oh god, If I had a dollar for everytime I heard the old "they are soo nice" in reference to some supposedly interested person. A friend of mine used to declare "how spiritual" these men were that spoke (flirted) with her at the door for ages.

This young women is obviously a psycho and should be locked up.

The other thing is, I think witnessing can be a very dangerous activity, especially with women going into strangers homes. I remember several occasions when after being invited in by male householders and just feeing something isn't right and getting the hell out of there. But I know of other born-in women who didn't seem to get that there are weirdos out there and put themselves into positions that were just plain stupid.

The WT couldn't give a crap about the safety of the people they send door to door.

The same reason Ad agencies put up ads they know will offend, and then quickly pull them once the outrage begins. In a mock "shock, horror we didn't intend to offend anyone" official statement. By then, of course, the objective has been achieved, attention has been directed to the offending ad and the agency comes off as good guy for pulling it.

DON'T PANIC — Hans Rosling showing the facts about population

by cantleave in

an incredible lecture that uses statistics to show that the world is much better than many people think.. the challenge of population explosion - has been solved.. the challenge of extreme poverty is within our grasp.. the challenge of climate change - well that's something we need to focus on,,,,,,,,, take an hour watch this, it dispels the doom and gloom preached by many.
