  "Where God Enters" 14th century Mystic,, Meister Eckhart

  by frankiespeakin in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i went to the library and pick up this book which is a translation of some of meister eckhart's sermons.

  creatures cannot enter the soul, nor can the soul know anything about a creature whose image she has not willingly taken into herself.

  now god needs no image and has no image: without image, likeness, or means does god work in the soul, in her ground wherein no image ever entered other than himself with his own essence.

  what does it take to become a circuit overseer?.

  the watchtower bible track society relies very heavily upon these men to make sure that they have a tight grip on each congregation.. the structure for control that the wt.

  has in place needs it's eyes and ears to find out whether or not a congregation is following all the rules that the wt has laid out for it.

  a world without suffering

  let's make an imaginary model, a world without suffering.

  the consequences would be far-reaching.. and for example if no one could ever injure anyone else, the would be murderers knife would turn to paper or his bullets to thin air.. or take for example the mountain climber, or steeplejack, or the playing child falling from a height, would float unharmed to the ground.. the reckless driver would never meet with disaster.

  GB on a Self Self-Destruct Course

  by frankiespeakin in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the governing body continues to surround itself with yes-men.

  protected inside the walls of watchtower's brooklyn bethel, they have practically no contact with the real world.

  which means that the aging members of the governing body have little or no contact with anyone that can offer them corrective criticism.

  Fooled, Controlled, and Abused by the watchtower.

  by frankiespeakin in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i first got the "trufh" when i was 19. knowing little about the bible being a catholic, i was searching for god, and was too trusting and too naive to see that i was being brought under watchtower mind control.. for 29 years, i let the watchtower tell me how to think, tell me how to interpret scriptures, and that was painful for me, coming out of mind control, is an unpleasant experience, dealing with cognitive dissonance, having your whole life turned upside down,.

  when i found out the watchtower is a false prophet, i warned my family the best i could.

  and for that i was rewarded by the watchtower bible track society with disfellowshipment, with subsequent shunning by many close family members and close friends.. .

  2. friends

  in the united states i keep hearing about how nobody sees the witness is going door-to-door and more, or at least not as often as they used to.

  i also heard a report from england recently which stated to the same effect.. what do you think?
