  @stuck- do you think your elders are worse because of being worse, or because you are noticing more now?

  The local has a cruise-gang of about 10 of them, they go on a cruise together several times a year. They have a WT study on the ship and everything.

  I couldn't imagine anything worse, they often come back nursing grudges from the falling outs that occur on-board.

  @watcher- thanks for your concern, but if I wanted a relationship with God I don't need the JWs as an intermediary. That's what Jesus is supposedly for.

  If you strive for "success" you will almost certainly fail, if you strive for excellence -success is guarranteed.

  Public opinion is a fickle mistress, the subjects that titilate or enfuriate seem to evoke the most response.

  Will the Societies tighten their grip even more with the power slipping?

  by thedepressedsoul in

  i think its pretty clear that the gb are power hungry.

  you cannot listen to the branch visit and not see clear as day that there are some of them that are loving the power.

  it showed the clearest with anthony morris.. now all these sex abuse scandals and news media are taking their power away.

  Have you been J-SNUBBED? HOW RUDE!

  by sparrowdown in

  2. friends

  i got to thinking the other day about how the wt uses loaded language.

  and spin to give thinly veiled credence and so-called respectability to their policies.. but why not call a spade a spade.

  why not identify the true nature of a policy,.

  by OnTheWayOut in

  2. beliefs

  while there are not too many currently defending the watchtower in this discussion forum, it happens from time to time.

  and quite often, there may be new people and lurkers reading these discussions.

  i just wanted you to ponder these questions.

  Is it possible to not go off on a tangent, I would be interested in hearing a WT defender's response to the original question.

  A very reasonable question, I might add.

  "How did you enjoy the meeting"= a statement disguised as a question, should actually read: "you have to enjoy the meeting...everyone does".
