Maybe God's spirit needs some metamucil!
Either God's spirit is really dumb, deaf and blind or is the "Charlie Sheen"
of spirits and is coming down off an all-night bourbon bender most days.
How else could you explain al the shit that it misses.
so, how many times have we heard this expression (or a variation of it):.
"jehovah's spirit seems to be blocked here in the congregation...perhaps he is bringing something to light...etc".
it seems that the org often uses this expression, and links it with the "fact" that god wont bless a cong as much,(or at all) if there is "stuff" or "sins" being carried out.. so, why is it then that the cong i am in is experiencing its best years of activity in all aspects?

i am encouraging everyone here to go out a buy some outrageous socks for next week's meetings.
make a statement!
thank you to poster oppostate for the idea!!!.
So the cat in the hat won't be allowed in the hall..aw that sucks!
i can't remember the topic with the discussion about the talk where they suggested that sisters should only consider ministerial servants as potential marriage partners but think about the implications more.. are they trying to use the potential affections of sisters to enourage brothers to do more and work harder?.
isn't this a form of 'pimping out' the sisters by limiting their attention to the people contributing to them?.
it seems to cross a line to me but i guess it's not vastly different to "only marry another jw".. what do you think?.
Well, there is the Biblical precedent with Rahab The Ho!
I can really see this pimpin thing catching on,
you may have found their niche market Simon.
Ho's for bro's.

Make it a whole month, say Socktober and raise money for a charity
other than the borg at the same time.

I remember a talk from a few yrs ago where the bro chided the sisters for
passing over the nerdy-but-spiritual types in favor of the bad boys who would
only break their heart.
You call it pimping-they call it matchmaking.
The GB AKA "Big-Pimpin"
here they are straigt from the presses of bethel.
a new publication for those trying to date and get that young sister to pay attention to him.
here are the top 10:.

They are called "mini"-servants for a reason honey.
i think now, more than ever, this psuedo-religion needs to be exposed.
they are harming people mentally, emotionally, and financially.. they are a registered charity which does not perform charitable works.. they are pillaging kingdom hall funds which were voluntarily given by the friends for the benefit of their own congregation.. they discourage higher education for young people while encouraging them to donate their entire life to "kingdom interests".
they wilfully and deliberately pull the wool over the eyes of the rank and file with their ever changing doctrines.. .
Everthing they have done and said over the years is going to come back and bite them someday.
The so-called "first century christian congregation" disintegrated within 100 yrs or so did'nt it ?
They are long overdue for it. There are no decent people left in anymore.
The congregations have become a breeding ground for shallow brown-nosers and predatory types.
My hope is they will hang themselves..eventually.
hi guys, ive finally got a copy of coc from my local library, im on page 120ish and im really enjoying it!
the thing that gets me now that im enlightened is how little the rank and file know about anything this organazation does!
everything is so secretive and covered up behind a curtain.
Total relief- I wasn't crazy after all.
I felt alone with my doubts for so long it felt good to find out that I was'nt the first
and I would definitely not be the last.
I also had new found respect for anyone that had been accused of apostasy.
i happened to attend a session of the summer convention on sunday morning.
one thing that that struck me was how their view of paradise was that we would all be the same.
they kept talking about how nice it would be if we all spoke the same language.
This homogenized world they speak of sounds very unappealing.
