isn't it unbelievable that a jehovah's witness must accept whatever the organization says or they can be disfellowshipped??
unless they tell you that their understanding has changed, you cannot believe anything unless they say it's ok. .
many years ago i questioned them about their ridiculous view that whenever the word "heart" was mentioned, it was a literal blood filled organ.
I’ll do you one better min....
about ten years ago DO’s (when the org still had DO’s) were giving a talk that said, and you just cant make this nonsense up, that even when the GB is wrong they are right. Yep. You heard me. Even when wrong they are right because they are gods representatives. I think it end up being in a study article also... it was surreal
wish this was fake news, but its not.
for everyone thinking whats the big deal with marxists anarchists forcibly pulling down old offensive statues, this is the slippery slope we are walking onto... fools... please read 1984 people.. http://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-41022954.
espn has removed a sports commentator from covering an american football game in charlottesville because he has the same name as civil war general robert e lee.. stash: /intesoft-inc.appspot.com/post/c782436dc86c4489b3948663ffc029db.html
One of these men surrendered to general grant at Appomattox court house. One is a football announcer. You decide.

Its difficult for me to believe someone is actually rationalizing espns decision.... has it been made clear that the robert lee in questions is asian??? As in his name is in no way connected with the confederate lee, its akin to bruce lee. Not that being named after robert e lee is in anyway disqualifying from covering a football game for god sake. This is unacceptable on every level and blantantly stupid. I hope espn gets hoisted from their own pitard for this.... violent antifa lefty’s dont watch football. Espn is playing to wrong crowd on this
chapter 20.
“gary will die of course”.
so after he was sent to the laundry, ken doweling had a talk to all his key men there and told them basically to watch for anything gary said or did that was against company policy.
Sigh..... hard to watch this train come down the tracks
that's what i've been told by a family member (elder) who went to one of the regional conventions in the north of the u.k lately, who told me the 300 or more disfellowshipped who returned to jehovah by attending show that the end is so close, just like the final talk says..
Actually ruby it shows nothing of the sort. The problem is no one “returns” of their own free will from being df’d. When family and friends are cut off its an inducement to return under duress. In order to know who really return of their own free will the shunning aspect would have to be removed and then see who stays away and who chooses to come back based simply on religious virtue.
i never thought i would see that in the us, a "free speech rally" (which has distanced itself from and organizers have nothing at all to do with the right, republicans or extremism) is being counter protested by thousands in boston today, the counter protests being organized by a coalition of black supremacists and sjw's.. on the other hand, google is building a database of speech that doesn't align with the left-wing political values.. i'm not sure what youngsters are thinking these days, but free speech used to be the cornerstone of american civilizations only a few decades ago.
the only way to drown out "bad" free speech is more free speech..
What country is this where people protest at a free speech rally? Who is against free speech? Insane.

“It`s clear what happened at Charlottesville, is fueling this massive rally.
Do you really think the rally would be this huge otherwise?”
i worry when we start saying something is clear simply because we wish it to be so. Why is it clear? The organizers of this event planned it long before the Charlottesville fiasco and have done and said everything they can to distance themselves from that. Is free speech somehow liked to nazis or the kkk??? Is anyone who claims to be a patriotic american going to be viewed a right wing nazi extremest? Its insane to link this boston event and some kkk rally 600 miles and 5 states away.... but thats what just happened.
score one for the left.
chapter 19.
“look ma no hands”.
by the time the summer rolled around they decided to put me on the dryers.
What sparky said.
God all this laundry talk makes me reminisce... it for damn sure was prision. For everyone in it, brother and sister alike. By the time i was there, “sisters” could council new boys... the overseers would tell us this wasnt the congregation so it was ok... and then in the next breath tell us to obey theocratic order because this was bethel. I left as soon as i could.
i would like to state publicly, on this forum, i no longer hold the views i had a year ago.. with much thought, research, study and logical examination i have come to a better understanding of my beliefs and where i stand on all these issues.. i'm very happy to announce i have returned to healthful teaching of the holy scriptures and i firmly believe that the governing body of jehovah's witnesses is the faithful slave.. sorry if i have contibuted to any kind of stumbling and know that if i can turn things around then there's hope for all who come to there sence.. phill4:6,7.
Wow doubtfully, i wish that was some sort of joke i dont get but you sounded sincere. All my best and when you decide to come back we will be here with open arms :)

How odd that someone who chooses “bill the bitcher” for his avatar claims to follow the teachings of jw’s. Odd indeed..... ah well.
No need for farewell posts, btw. this isnt hotel California. You can both check out and leave. And of course the gb dosent strongly discourages participating in internet forums and especially where so called apostates may be found. Just so you know
