  Why Is The Governing Body Moving Corporation Headquarters Out In The Boonies Away From Public Veiw?

  by Brokeback Watchtower in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  i think the decision to move to a more secluded place was probably started taking shape right after silentlambs march at headquarters in clear public view of their neighbors.

  i mean how do you respectively live something like this down in front of all those neighbors close by?

  that's why i think they are heading for the boonies because deep down they know that their public reputation will only go from bad to worse at this late date of the faithful & discreet slave of god con game.

  wt on a slide, " 1914's generation is not only overlapping, but also composite.

  by prologos in

  2. humour

  doctrines projected by wt writers can be compared to the slides in the old carousel slide shows, the jw audience was kept in the dark, but the next images' bright filtered new light had their rapt attention.

  often these doctrine images came around again but modified, often totally changed, turned upside down.

  think superior authorities, resurrection ----, .

  Standing for the National Anthem?

  by eyeslice2 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  we are currently living in a country where at the cinema the national anthem is played before the start of the movie and it is law that you stand.

  does anyone know what current jw thinking is on this?

  i know there has been various changes over the years.

  Ah yes, the old National Anthem conundrum yet again...

  Witness freak out at the mere sound of those first few musical notes, and run to use the bathrooms or whatever if they are at an event where it is played.

  Do they not know of the countries in south America where NATIONAL FLAGS ARE FLOWN on the KINGDOM HALLS each year????

  Or that the society was a member of the United Nations??

  Hypocrisy at its finest.

  What Is "Counsel" and How Does It Work?

  by Cold Steel in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  yes, i know what "counsel" means, but it clearly has an esoteric meaning.

  in the academy award winning bunker video series, the noble brother brown admits he didn't handle it well when elder ben (who was a junior elder...uh, yes, that's right) gave him counsel about a talk he'd given.

  not enough use of scriptures.

  Counsel in WT world means being "told off" for not going according to Society guidelines, or simply having a bully elder impose his personal views on another.

  There is NEVER any room for a "lesser" witness to reply to or kindly object to the "counsel".

  I agree Smiddy!

  Perhaps someone can recommend it to SBS?

  I'll try myself now.

  While I haven't watched these clips,(nor would I understand them) it seems like the very storyline the Society used in the drama videos at the conventions this year! You know the one about the girl leaving home for her worldly boyfriend. The video where the parents made out like SHE hurt THEM by leaving, and not the other way around! (As they abandoned their family duty to her!)

  One thing of note about the "good Samaritan" was that he was from an Apostate Nation, and yet he kindly helped out a Jew! (God's People at the time)

  So, I wonder nowadays if an "apostate" was in dire trouble, would a Witness stop and help them out??

  Thought not....
