I'd say the bread illustration is a warning to all apostates.
Poisoned garlic bread (apostates) go straight into Jehovah's trashcan never to retrieved.
so... bro flodin puts poison onto the first loaf of bread and says that this pictures someone "sinning against the holy spirit".
he then puts the bread into the trash can stating that jehovah completely discards anyone "sinning against the holy spirit"... meaning they cannot ever be forgiven...he says that the pharisees "sinned against the holy spirit" because they denied indisputable evidence of the operation of jehovah's holy spirit displayed by jesus... therefore jehovah would completely discard them... no way back for them.. fast forward a little... we have the bible character stephen...acts 6:8 says: now stephen, full of divine favor and power, was performing great wonders and signs among the people.so stephen was showing indisputable evidence of the operation of jehovah's holy spirit.now we come to the bible character paul (saul)... he was a pharisee.paul would have seen stephen in action... witnessing the indisputable evidence of the operation of jehovah's holy spirit first hand!yet paul not only waged war against all christians but he personally approved the killing (stoning) of stephen.according to the bread illustration paul should have been discarded by jehovah at this point for "sinning against the holy spirit"... he would have been put in the trash can... no way back at all...but what happened according to the bible?
jesus appeared to him on the road to damascus... he became one of the most zealous apostles in bible history with jehovah's full support!so what on earth is the bread illustration all about?

I'm here to chew gum and make bird food ....and I'm all out of gum.

hi everyone, i have been lurking for some time now and decided to open the box (hence pandora).
about a year ago i became aware of child abuse within the org, out of curiosity (just like pandora) i opened the box and the evils have been pouring out ever since regarding the org.
anyway, this came to a head last summer with the arc.
Welcome to your sanity pandorasbox.
With each person that wakes up we are one step closer to that so-called "hundredth monkey."
And God made man in his image. And God saw it was yummy.
demons 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.
Ironically, the only people I have ever met that have had "demon experiences" are JWs.
would the jehovah`s witnesses be a shoe in , for the most about face , flip flop , of doctrine , beliefs , and practices in this 21st century , to have previously strongly held beliefs and then for them to be discarded in their 140 ?
year history ?.
i think they take the cake .. smiddy.
Largest collection of flip flops goes to... WT yaaayy, woo hooo, yeah. Damn well deserved!
at 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.
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!

Apparently, Judas Iscariot never got the memo.
this article suggests that there are projects being halted, but chelmsford isn't one of them.
can someone from the uk tell me if this article was written by a reputable and known publisher?
plans for huge jehovah's witnesses hq continues.
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.
