I don't know how I ever sat through them. Drivel, complete drivel.
It is good to have reminders of how bad these studies are.

An elder, Chief MD in Honolulu clinic goes door to door. Testimony given at JW convention
by AndersonsInfo inhttp://www.pressreader.com/usa/honolulu-star-advertiser/20150725/281848642300889/textview.
it sounds to me like he was a jw before he became a physician.
"kalauawa, who became a jw 31 years ago, said he had to overcome a major conflict between his religious and professional beliefs, because jws are opposed to blood transfusions.

I had a friend who was a JW nurse (general ward) and she did the same thing this Dr guy did, she requested other nurses set up transfusions because of religious grounds. Another who was a theatre nurse who also did this. -

There was an elder/doctor in my congregation and he had veritable God-like status afforded him.
These people are apparently blind to their own hypocrisy.

Just how tv evangelist does it have to become before the average dub wakes up and smells the cult!
The pied piper GB play their evil flute and the r&f just skip along oblivious.

Basic Bible and Religious Vocabulary the Watchtower Never Teaches
by CalebInFloroda inwhen i began formal study of religion and biblical analysis it was like peeling off layer after layer of dark matter, sticky and putrid that had stuck over my eyes and ears and mouth.
i learned that under the watchtower one only builds a widening gap between yourself and the world of biblical academia and scholars.
i used to think i knew a lot because i learned to quote a few scholars or lexicons as a witness.

I'm beginning to think the only "truth" I learnt as a JW was bullus shitus.

If disfellowshipping so important why is it not mentioned one time in the bible teach book
by poopie inif it is what page.

The Organized To Accomplish Your Ministry book goes onto into it doesn't it?
That book is mandatory reading pre-baptism. But yes, the whole disfellowshipping thing is glossed over. You think with something so potentially devastating to a person's life as the d/f arrangement is they would make people sign a contract or something. Just to emphasize the seriousness of it.
If congregation "cleanness" is such a good thing why hide it?

How Far Apart Were Your Legs?
by Joe Grundy inseveral threads on here about the excellent bbc r4 programme this week ('the report') focussing on rape and abuse in barry, south wales, jws.
fat pervert mark sewell later got 14 years and i hope he is enjoying every minute of it.. the courageous ladies who spoke on the programme were articulate, reasonable and made a tremendous impression.. the quote in the thread title made an impression on me, and i hope, on all listeners.. forget religious, theological, 'biblical' issues and cut to the basics.
a rape victim was asked to demonstrate - to demonstrate, ffs - to three unqualified (middle-aged at least, presumably) men just how far her legs were apart when she was raped.. i have rarely heard anything so outrageous, and i used to investigate rape and abuse in my profession.

There would have to be shiploads of transcripts from these sorts of meetings in congregation files everywhere...surely?
All it would take is one awake elder in every cong across the globe to snoop, snap and post.

He's actually demonstrating with his fingers the size of Lett's penis.

Russell's sources for his ideas - a diagram of what Apocalypse Delayed Ch. 1
by ILoveTTATT2 inaccording to apocalypse delayed, russell got many of his ideas from a conference called albury park.. .
here are the sources of his ideas for eschatology:.
and lastly, here are the sources for the ideas that jw's claim make them "the truth": rejection of the trinity, hell, and the inmortal soul..

So the shameless pilfering of ideas began with C.T.
Well, holy crap on catapult, who'da thought it.
Do they actually have any original ideas?

If there are more "sick" women in the borg than men (and I'm not saying that there are.)
It may be because women are more oppressed in the borg than men are. At least men are considered useful, even if just for microphone duty. Women in the borg are suppressing more =more somatic illness.
