Oh....we have seen this soooo many times. I love it when they appoint a young Elder who has no kids, no steady job, no education, no home (still living in parents basement) and NO CLUE! So I'm going to take my problems to this guy and have him tell me what to do? Really? It's laughable!

At the annual meeting right now . . .
by neat blue dog ini'm at the recorded meeting right now.
trying to hide my disgust sitting up front listening to geoffrey jackson quibble about the pharisaical minutai of sanctification vs. vindication.
the audience is thrilled that they now have 'permission' to say god's name can be vindicated.

The carts will be around for a while. It keeps the Dubbies busy and they feel important and relevant.
They will get rid of the carts and door to door when it is just too embarrassing for the dubs to be in public. If JW's can not defend themselves, they get nervous.
Once it gets to that point, WT will tell the rank and file that the ark doors are closing and Jah's message has been given to all. The preaching work is complete. Fear, obligation and guilt work wonders! If it did not work, WT would not continue to use it!

"Jesus said to go and make disciples. Jesus did not say go place a lot of literature! "
Exactly! So have JW's been wasting time placing/printing literature? What about field service time? The Bible and Jesus have never stated that time had to submitted on a monthly basis. It's amazing how important everything was at the time it was being done, then WT minimizes the things that were once important. Like the all important Book Study. WT is full of sh*t!

"We don't venerate idols or images!"
by stuckinarut2 inhow often did we as witnesses say something like this : "unlike members of false religion, who venerate or worship through statues or idols, we give our focus to jehovah!".
members of religious groups focus their religious adoration via an image or statue.
they do this in order to provide some sort of focus to their need to worship.. witnesses give extreme focus on the name "jehovah" .

Stupid, stupid nonsense in the October JW broadcast
by sir82 inso in the october jw broadcast, there is a "morning worship" segment in which g. jackson goes to great lengths to explain how the term "those taking the lead" are not "leaders".. the terms are exactly equivalent, of course, but jackson, with a wink & smirk, pats himself on the back for his own cleverness on how different they really are.it's just so bizarrely absurd.. imagine if such tortured reasoning were applied to other areas..... -------------------------------------.
restaurant manager: i'm sorry, the only position we have open is for dishwasher.
applicant: that's insulting!
