re: new songs for memorial.
dear brothers:.
I don't believe things are what they appear.
The WT does these kinds of things with a purpose in mind. Whether it be further mind conditioning, propagandizing, or plain old subconscious subliminal messaging.
There is a plan behind their facade of being spiritual.
These ******* are sinister if anything. I've been documenting them for a while now and they'll soon be exposed in the literary world. The physical literary world and that includes digital media.
so i have been thinking.
i know this is something taboo to the dubs, but f them.

You know, I'll be brutally honest.
I don't think Jesus looked outside to measure the position of the moon, then made sure his apostles understood the specific date, and if it was day or night.
Jesus Christ quite simply said "do this in remembrance of me."
How the Jehovah's Witnesses came up with all the stipulations, procedures, rules, regulations, policies, and protocols to follow, is completely beyond comprehension other than to say they have corrupted the simple instructions handed down by the Christ.
this a question more out of curiosity, because we have not stepped foot in a kh in 3 years.. how is the attendance at the meetings/assemblies?
i know the answer will vary due to location.. are you (especially elders) receiving any notification or communication from bethel or co's that there is an upsurge of people that are simply disappearing or out right dis associating?.
thanks, in advance, for your feedback!
In my congregation I believe there are 52 publishers give or take a few. During the weekly meeting perhaps half of that number show up, yes half. Weekend meeting averages about 85. People love Sunday church!
The hall can easily seat 130 so yeah even before I became very irregular I noticed the sharp decline.
The few times I've visited on the weekend I can't recognize half the people. So who knows if they are asking other congos to make it look more impressive. Sounds far-fetched but it is the WT we are dealing with here.

What I find interesting about celebrating the Memorial is that Christ asked that we continue celebrating his death.
He did not say celebrate my death on this specific date, at this specific hour.
I realize traditionally (Christ and Paul condemned traditions of men) special occasions are celebrated annually many times on a specific date but wouldn't this be holding to the traditions of men i.e. this world?
My twenty-cents :-)
i am wondering how much the bethel "allowance" is now?
it used to be $14!
is it true they really sign a vow of proverty now?
however, i haven't found any evidence to support that belief.. have you?
if so please, show me the evidence that god exists, and i will believe along with you.. criteria:.
(1) you must specify which god you are talking about;.
Tenacious - Are you familiar with the work of Susan Blackmore?
She is a psychologist who spent half her career trying to prove there was something substantial behind reports of supernatural events. After many years she stopped her investigation completely. Every incident without exception turned out to be a case of exaggeration, delusion or deceit.
Thanks for the info cofty. Definitely going to look into her work. I'll continue my journey in search of truth wherever that may lead me.

Quick question. What is the origin of spirit entities as portrayed in film, stories, books, etc.?
Let me help you guys, think movies like the Conjuring, the Exorcist, Paranormal Activity, Sinister, etc.
i am doing investigation on the early history of the bible students / jehovah's witnesses.
one resource that is turning out to be extremely useful is the brooklyn eagle.. .
the brooklyn eagle was a newspaper that had a lot of animosity against the watchtower society.

To throw my five-cents into the ring.
If God does not exist, how is it that people believe in spiritual entities?
Movies, books, songs, and websites are inundated with true stories of these mysterious beings existing with many of their actions being filmed and recorded.
Why are people afraid of something that is not supposed to exist yet does?
In effect, if these spirit beings do exist, then God must exist by default?
Sorry, that was ten-cents
