Yes, a sister I ran into the other day was going on about "the work is really opening up" (variation on the fast moving chariot theme)
I thought, no, the work is slowing down!

Proof of Jehovah's fast moving chariot!
by Sour Grapes inat the meeting sunday, the brother giving the "public talk" (no one from the public is ever there) was talking about how the organization is moving so fast.
as proof of this he held up the new field service time slip.
yep, that was plenty of proof for me, a smaller time slip to guilt the congregation to use their tablets in service to show video's.

Why Christians cannot be possessed.
by James Mixon indemons cannot occupy the same place as the holy spirit, satan knows this, and that is why.
he tries so hard to get to people first and his demons or demonic influence control or affect.
that person.. i cannot believe this in still being taught today.

Yes, vidiot is spot on.
Whatever they build in their little Anglo-American world domination Empire aka "The New System" they figure will stand after Armageddon.

The whole introduction of cart witnessing is just a distraction to what they are really doing - that is herding everyone to JWTV. The whole meeting will be eventually conducted via a TV screen anyway. The carts complete with corny cart song just diverted attention for little bit.
All my own conjecture of course, but that's what I think of the carts, simply because of how useless they are. All the fanfare and drumroll for .... wait for it.......dadahhh.....carts! You gotta be kidding me!

Thought control - sexual fantasizing is wrong - May 2016 Watchtower
by Listener in>>the bible reveals that jehovah issaddened when people pursue a wick-ed course and ‘the inclination of theirthoughts is only bad all the time.’ (readgenesis 6:5, 6.
) from this we can per-ceive that sexual fantasizing is wrongbecause it can lead to serious sin that isforbidden in the scriptures and is out ofharmony with jehovah’s way of think-ing.the disciple james wrote: “the wis-dom from above is first of all pure, thenpeaceable, reasonable, ready to obey,full of mercy and good fruits, impar-tial, not hypocritical.” (jas.
3:17) beingaware of this, we should be moved toreject entertainment that fuels impurethoughts and inclinations.

So that's why Solomon had so many wives and concubines. To avoid thinking about sex he just engaged in it all the time with a different woman every day.

Who did you believe the scriptures were describing when you were a JW?
by James Mixon init never hit me until i was out.
matt:23;4 "they tie up heavy, cumbersome loads and put them.
on other people shoulders".

Simple. If the scripture was condemning certain attitudes or behaviors then it was referring to Christendom, Satan's world or the dreaded apostates.
If the scriptures were describing goodness, righteousness and holiness it was describing the GB, the 144 000, the pioneers/missionaries and sometimes if we were lucky just regular non-titled JWs.
Ahh, those were the days when life was simple and no thinking, genuine feeling or conversation was required. A world of never-ending happiness where you can always see the sun, day or night. So when you call up that shrink in Beverly Hills......hang on a minute, I'm getting confused with the intro to a Prince song. Anyway.....
The simple life of the mind controlled cult member, what's not to love.

Some thoughts on the new midweek meeting
by Saltheart Foamfollower inthe new midweek meeting has been running for a month now.
here are my thoughts on how it is going so far:.
1) elders are looking frazzled from being on virtually every meeting and having to prepare unfamiliar formats for items.

I think the most important observation you make is "there is no longer any room for any form of individualism.."
Whatever individualism we think we have as JWs is illusory anyway, but even what little opportunity there was for personal application of material is going, going gone.
I think that's exactly the GB's intention. Do not go off script.

When you Go to Bethel, You Sign Over Your Dead Body.
by new boy inthis is in response to the thread about the supposed suicide of a bethelite in 1995.. when i went to bethel i and everyone else, signed a form stating that "if we died while at bethel the wathtower bible and tract society,had the right to keep our body.".
yes, we thought it strange at the time but as a twenty years old you didn't think much about stuff like that.
besides we were never going to die anyway.

Maybe they are putting together body parts to make the ultimate frankenbethelite?
