  hi to all the board, .

  i am confused about something that i read on this board.

  it was the subject about the building and development of new kingdom halls.

  Well, they say that there are two kinds of work: hard work, and smart work.

  The WTS does the “smart” (financially efficient) “work,” while the vast throngs of rank-and-file members do the hard work (pounding the pavement for zillions of hours scouring the community for each convert).

  The WTS will continue to pare down their monetary assets (Kingdom Halls) while consolidating (maximizing) their corporate assets.

  In a sense, the WTS are like Donald Trump and his New York skyline assets: Grow, grow, grow, and then, when the time is right, sell, sell, sell (cash in).

  I guess it takes one cold-hearted tycoon (opportunist) to be able to know another.

  The Blood Soaked Savagery of the YHWH/Jesus Creation

  do you remember being with a group of witnesses looking at some cute little animal and everyone saying, "oooh!

  isn't jehovah sooo wooooonderful!!!

  " of course, most other christians are just as prone to utter such insipid, sugary and idiotic expressions.. the cats and dogs that we often dote on are the result of hundreds of years of breeding out undesirable traits, but their original ancestors survived by catching and tearing to pieces cute, cuddly little animals who are stricken with terror as they are hunted.

  “fulltimestudent”: “Just recall how he gives ‘food’ to lions.”

  Exactly.

  It makes you wonder when the Bible states that supposedly before the “original sin” in the garden of Eden, and then after Christ’s Thousand Year Reign, even none of the animals did, or will do, any “harm nor cause any ruin in all my holy mountain.” (Isaiah 65:25)

  It’s so obvious to anyone with a thumbnail of a brain that when you look at all those menacing, razor-sharp teeth of the countless varieties of fish and sharks, not to mention all the mammals (i.e., lions!), those teeth are for catching – and killing – prey.

  In this regard, either God is Walt Disney, or the logical, scientific processes of evolution are actually involved here.

  “EverApostate”: “May be striking up a conversation about the various WT cover ups as well as to prove to them that I am happier now than as a JW before.”

  That’s a good idea to at least let JWs know why you chose to leave the organization (cult).

  It’s kind of like spanking a dog that has chewed up your books. Such discipline must be done immediately after the misdeed in order for the dog to connect it with its act so as to know exactly what it did wrong.

  Similarly, it’s advantageous to divulge to JWs you happen to meet exactly why you left the cult so that they will know that there is, in fact, a very valid and logical reason.

  Lunar Eclipses and 607/587 BCE as the date of Jerusalem´s Fall

  by ILoveTTATT2 in

  i am doing a very extensive document, it is a work in progress, that details how to know, just using a list of eclipses in the 6th and 7th century bce, excel, and knowing how to read lunar eclipse graphs and maps, that jerusalem fell in 587 b.c.e., and not 607 b.c.e.

  as the watchtower states.currently it is in spanish, but i intend to translate it to english later.for those who speak spanish, here it is:.

  . . . . But, that would invalidate the 1914 CE date . . . . . . . . Just kidding!

  Actually, you can arrive at the 1914 CE date . . . . . . . . By stretching everything by about 20 years!

  “John Davis”: “So in this case if another member of the congregation felt their freedom of speech right was being violated , that person would have to file the claim, not Mr Walls. Mr Walls would assist or even pay for it but he can't initiate the claim for that person.”

  I don’t think that you understand. It is Mr. Randy Wall himself who is seeking legal remedy for the tangible losses to his real estate business arising from the prohibition by the congregation of any kind of contact between Mr. Wall and his clientele – which clientele happens to be coerced and blackmailed by the JW congregation into absolute shunning of Mr. Wall, even to the extent of cutting legal business proceedings.

  You know, I thought that I would have definitely have been divinely executed by Jehovah by at least the early 1990s.

  I was born in 1996 and baptized around 1982.

  Now, however, after thoroughly researching TTATT, I have obviously come to realize that what I was baptized into was anything but “the truth.”

  My baptism, like so many other JWs, was coerced in that it was the expectation of my parents. Saying “no” is never a viable option for JW children.

  So, what does JW baptism really mean for anyone? Well, not much according to the current pertinent statistics!

  Don’t worry! You were spot on. I think that everyone should be like our furry, loveable dog companions: simple, unpretentious, and always lovable.

  thursday, august 31. jehovah knows those who belong to him.—2 tim.

  2:19.. in recent years, we have seen an increase in the number of those partaking at the memorial of christ’s death.

  that trend contrasts with the decrease in the number of partakers that we saw for many decades.

  “UnshackleTheChains”: “What a joke!”

  Now, THAT is the most accurate, poignant statement of this entire thread! Excellent observation. You know, when all is said and done, in the very final analysis, that statement of yours really does sum it all up. Bravo! My hat is off to you!

  in the last week i have had three visits from brothers.

  so 6 witnesses in all as they come in pairs.

  now considering i used to go to the meetings, sit by myself and literally no one talked to me - ever - why the concern all of a sudden?.
