  The sort of shock one feels at being treated so outrageously by the "brothers" who you have dedicated your life to could be compared to a fratricide of sorts. "How can this happen in God's organization" is a common and understandable reaction.

  Why doesn't he file for unfair dismissal?

  Oh that's right, there is no such thing in Jehovah's organization.

  You know full well the "nature of the beast" by now. So if you want to go go, if you don't then don't.

  You don't need a consensus to do this or not do this. Do what you want, which what I suspect is to go.

  That's interesting minimus.

  So if you think about it they are admitting that "going after someone" can actually have the reverse effect and push them further away.

  Oh it's about friggin time they showed their hand on this one.

  Cannot wait for all the turf wars to begin amongst the power couples all wanting their slice of the congregation pie.

  There are going to be a lot of noses out of joint implementing this one.

  Let the bun fights begin.

  As a Work of Literature The Bible is Just Dreadful

  of course it's easy to criticise the bible for all manner of serious flaws, but it fails on a more basic level.. it is just a terrible piece of literature.. this piece on "southern skeptic" is well worth a read.. god is a terrible writer....

  The 1995 Generation Change

  i was just a teenager and have a vivid memory of sitting in a chair doing a microphone for the sunday meeting.

  everyone was commenting that it didn't mean the end was far off, and it didn't change the condition of the dead, or the 144,000, or the trinity so we should still remain faithful.

  this is my first memory as a kid being just a teen that i ever had a single doubt.

  The majority of brain dead dubs couldn't or wouldn't explain any doctrinal adjustments.

  They have made the final metamorphosis into a social club - and a pretty pathetic excuse for one.

  If you were to pick one book from all of human history to live your life by which one would it be?

  Put that way it's ludicrous that people even try. Even the best of books would be impossible to live by, let alone something so contradictory and divisive.

  "Beware of the man who only has one book."
