  i have a theory about the long term doctrine of wt!

  by purrpurr in

  i can see no reason why the gb would want to loosen their grip on their cash cow/ cushy life.

  but what will they do in 20,30,50 years?

  well i suspect that at some point they will claim that the promised paradise is already here but that it has come in spirtual form.

Well I suspect that at some point they will claim that the promised paradise is already here but that it has come in spirtual form. That it's not going to come in earthly form just spiritual form. The old scriptures about the lion lamb etc they can just twist into being symbolic of something of course. Then all they have to do is erase the privous old light and claim that anyone who said the paradise would be earthly were going ahead of the chariot ( 1975 style).

  What do you think? They will have to think up something eventually. And let's face it the GB could tell them to take a running jump off the nearest high building and the faithful would do it. But I don't believe that they would risk their cash flow like that.

  This is great! Is there any way of getting this into the press more? The more exposure these insane rants get the better! Imagine what kind of reaction jws would get on the ministry if everyone knew about this? No one would take them seriously!

  Is the WTS effectively 'pimping out' sisters?

  by Simon in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i can't remember the topic with the discussion about the talk where they suggested that sisters should only consider ministerial servants as potential marriage partners but think about the implications more.. are they trying to use the potential affections of sisters to enourage brothers to do more and work harder?.

  isn't this a form of 'pimping out' the sisters by limiting their attention to the people contributing to them?.

  it seems to cross a line to me but i guess it's not vastly different to "only marry another jw".. what do you think?.

  I think the GB are taking some things for granted here...

  They are supposing that the single brothers in the Cong are attractive, whereas in reality there are more likely to be nampy pamby mummies boys with no personality.

  Also they have supposed correctly that yes the brothers want to have sex as soon as possible. But have not thought that the sisters want the same. The GB seem to imagine congregations full of single, submissive, blushing sisters with no sexual desire at all. Whereas in fact the sisters want to get laid just as much as the brothers. Since single brothers are in short supply who cares weather they are MS or not?

  Governing Body sick of waiting! They want the paradise they were promised!

  by donuthole in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  this post is going to suggest that the governing body remains, as ray franz wrote, "captives of a concept".

  like every jehovah's witness they were raised with the belief that the the paradise would be here by now.

  unlike others, they are in a position to do something about.. why wait to rule over the earth?

  i'm just bored.

  i'm currently (right now) running a mic up and down the aisles, recognising the faulty logic, one line platitudes, and indoctrination techniques.

  i like posting while on active duty.

  how long will it take for the r&f to realise what this letter means?

  by purrpurr in

  2. scandals

  most of them at the hall will be half asleep as usual.

  and the letter is worded very cleverly it just barely skims and hints at what's to come with the halls being sold off.

  how many in the halls will realise what it means?

  IVe already heard some Bros predict that soon the mags will be abandoned and they will be told just to direct people to the website. But those all sitting there asleep when will they realise that their lovely hall that they helped built is going to be grabbed by the GB and sold???

  answer at the hall "its all illuminate!"

  by purrpurr in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i probably havnt spelt that right but anyway the other week a bro at my hall answered up saying that he had done research into the lives of these "rock and roll" stars and that he had discovered that they all belonged to a demon controled, satan worshipping secret cult called the illuminarte!

  therefore we must steer clear of popular music because of the secrect demonic lyrics that it contains!!.

  of course everyone nodded in agreement and the study conductor thanked him for his "fine" comment!.

  their beliefs and practice's don't tally- tonights book study

  by purrpurr in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  tonights book study in part is about jesus throwing out the merchants and money lenders in the temple... how do they manage to tally that up with asking for funds for all their various projects?

  it seems hardly a meeting goes by without some kind of money plea?

  don't they realise that they are doing the same thing that jesus got so angry about and threw out of the temple?

Don't any of the brothers and sisters tally these two up and see that something is wrong??

  Can anyone give me any ideas of how best to do this?

  i had a look in the library last meeting and my hall still has all the bound volumes going right back to the beginning.

  including studies in the scriptures.

  i thought the order from on high was that these were to be destroyed or taken away?
