so i'm listening to the regional manager give his mid week talk and he's going over acts 15 where they're dealing with the issues that arrose from the jewish christians wanting the gentile christians to adhear too the mosaic law, so some of the apostles gathered to hash it out.
it struck me, though, that he kept using the phrase "the governing body at that time" to describe the apostles and older men who decided on the matter.
once he even slipped up and said apostles, then corrected it to the gb.. i'm thinking that they've actually gone so far as to put it in his outline to make sure its beaten into the r/f that the gb's power is somehow based in scripture.
We just had ours too, I started marking every time he used the term Governing Body, I think it was in the twenties by the end of the talk...
He also brought out the old doozie about the superior authorities and the fact that Jah allowed us to believe a doctrinal error for a while AS A PROTECTION for us during the war years....
Whatever ...
i never get tired of these youtube videos.. this one is called 'hitler leaves the jehovah's witnesses'.. he wakes up to ttatt when he cannot accept the 'overlapping generation' teaching.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bvhhy62toy4.

That is VERY funny!
think this may help all new members here and any lurkers in the back ground,who may be struggeling with the conscience.
i'am not a jw but when i came across this short vid my jaw was on the floor.
how can some body get away with such blatant lies and deception was beond me at the time, now i know differently.
Marking for later.... Cheers!
so the "cong bible reading " section to be covered for this week is from deuteronomy 28-31.... have you ever read this section????
wow...just wow....there is some psycho stuff in it!.
"do as i (jehovah) say, or i'll mess you up with some really perverse and psychotic stuff!".
I can't paste in this browser but there's an interesting contradiction in 28:63 when compared to ezekiel 18:23.
Basicallyit's about whether Jehovah takes delight in the death of the wicked. It seems he does and he doesn't...

Good for them! Shame matters aren't always taken into hand so adeptly when it comes to child abuse. But good for them nonetheless..
the good news is:.
- studying the watchtower over breakfast.
- putting on a suit and tie.
It really does. This WT is DIRE. I feel like ripping my ears off and posting them to Bethel.

Dammit that sounds like a GREAT plan! I'm sat in the meeting right now planning the time when I can do the same.
H haha! The speaker is talking about YOU, how we shouldn't be envious of the lifestyles of the dirty worldly fornicating 'dead men walking'. Too late!
Good for you dude, enjoy!
a letter has just been read out indicating that effective immediately, witnesses are no longer to use the s-8 slip known as the "house to house" record slip, as well as the s-43 "please follow up" slip (usually used for foreign language people).. the letter stated that this is because of the changes in privacy laws etc that are becoming common in the world today.. i will try and get a copy of the full letter and post it asap.. .
Here in the UK, they were removed and we were told to write on notebooks instead. A few years back the s8 was allowed again up until currently... If this is for the UK then we'll probably just go back to notepads again..
r: thank you for agreeing to this interview.
how should i address you?
if you are a good god, why wouldn't you want to stop the evil?.
Did anyone else read that out loud in an overly deep voice while waggling your finger horizontally over your lips?
No?
Just me then..
