has anyone noticed that witnesses (from the top down) seem to have a quiet form of smug arrogance toward all non witnesses?.
perhaps it comes from being told how "special and unique" they are but they end up looking down on all normal members of the community because they are not witnesses.. so any form of "love" they show those in the territory is also limited as long as they accept the message...otherwise they are viewed contemptuously as "worldly" and therefore of little value...after all,they will be destroyed right?.
Londo nailed it.
WT has the market cornered not on smugness, but on the doublethink in regards to smugness. On one hand.....be smug as hell. On the other, act pious. that way you can have your smug and eat it too.
I was once like this if I am being honest with myself. Not that much.....but it was there.
only 78 signatures are needed in order to send the request to the irs that they revoke or at the very least investigate the borg.

Makes perfect sense. JW's forbid service to your community such as this mans, and they believe the US government is a shell which Satan uses for his bidding......why not throw on a mini billboard, and meet the president receiving a medal for the honor your grandson served in while you disapproved.
Arrogant bastards.
now that the soc has accepted the use of technology.
what is next?
could it be the disfellowshipping?
probably not, since his mom already passed and no other family members are jws.
was he officially dfd or he just walked away, don't remember.
I take that back. His only child died while young. I thought he had another one but I guess I was wrong. my bad.

Nah. Guy was not "going to meetings" last few years. Probably just something he did for a while, and he lost interest, nobody in the org is going to hold a musical icons feet to the fire.
if his funeral is to be held in the KH, the SOLE purpose would be the ability for the JW brand and service to reach a mass audience.
hi, only just joined.

Ryan,
"the creative day" how long was each day?
defend.
maybe this was posted before but i found this site.. search the above site.
You guys sure this is still being taught? I recall the creative days now being allegorical (duh), and refferencing a period of time that cannot be known.
I really don't think they still teach creative days are 1K or 7K from Genesis.
was going through proclaimers book and found this little nugget on page 232. there is so much wrong with this paragraph that my head almost exploded when i read it.. however, i was thinking, perhaps those like me that are trying to fade away without "trouble", can use this in the case that an elder should start questioning with intent of escalating matters.
