Subliminal images - why and who are the individuals behind it?

by UnshackleTheChains in

i remember about 5 years ago reading on another site about subliminal images in wt literature.

i honestly thought it a load of bs until i checked out one glaringly obvious image of a creepy skull in clouds within the knowledge book.

i was shocked and even showed my wife at the time who thought it was creepy.. so my question is why?

to your pount, Orphan Crow....images 5 and 6 down from the top. I actually bought an original Creation book because of this topic and image to see it for myself after reading a talk by one of Ray Frank's friend, Peter (something) about If Jesus chose this group to represent him then why? What were they publishing? This one is booty banging right there at Calgary and not subliminal and definitely hot off of Rutherford WT presses, Confirmed! It was the big eye opener for me...Slave is a parable and WT not special and therefore no authority over me. Case closed for me. I have the book and happy to shove it in anyone's face who asks why I left.

Who Is An Apostate?

by NeonMadman in

maybe you've heard the story of a brother in the watchtower's writing department who was very smart, hard working and a good writer.

we'll call him charley.

charley was so good, in fact, that he advanced through the ranks and became a co-editor of the watchtower magazine.

They wouldn't. They don't care he was an asshole creepy husband and today would be jailed for date rape either; or a snake oil salesman with multiple failed business ventures all documented with public legal documents. The cult personality reminds me of kids who stand there with their hands over their ears singing lalalal I can't hear you ....nasty apostate. It doesn't matter that the Bible describes the apostate as a denier of Jesus Christ coming in the flesh.

Fantastic point and illustration neonmadman! I'd give you a G! In the Ministry school ! 😜

More boring baby stuff and wife's first birthday

by Darkknight757 in

hello just giving a quick baby update again.

we went for another growth scan yesterday which marks 26 weeks, 4 days and the genetics dr. felt that we needed to head to hospital for labor and delivery.

so as of now the wife is being monitored and the hope is she can stay until delivery which hopefully will be a few weeks.

P.s. - NOT BORING! Very precious story and I'm sure we are all anxious with you for a happy ending.

Sending your family ❤️. Happy birthday Mrs Darknight. Touching story about her birthday cake. Sounds yummy.

I am sooo grateful for all of those special medical professionals who've dedicated their lives to saving all of ours. So much progress and much to be hopeful for. Keep positive. They are angels on earth and will give your little dark night every chance to be born healthy and safely.

Blessings and love!

FFA - 4H - Conscious matter or not allowed?

by Jennifer Lehrer in

i was baptized 4 years ago, i have 2 little girls who love their bunnies, so this year we reached out to 4h and started our own 4h group - this was after asking the elders for counsel.

none provided.

now after doing this for 3 months i am being brought before a judicial committee for neutrality.

Btw, if it helps, my kids went to private catholic school and one elder tried to JC me. Another wrote a letter to the service department at bethel who responded that it was my private and personal business and a conscious matter they had no need to intervene. So local brothers will imperfectly try to impose their own conscious on you, it's imperative you stand up for yours for your own peace of mind.

Please listen to your heart... your kids are only young for such a short time. You won't get these precious moments back.

My elder bro-in-law is a fireman, and I know of others too, and they take an oath to uphold the constitution as did older GB members by signing passports. That could be a neutrality issue as is joining a union. So, It's a conscious matter.

i agree with desirous of change and shadow; simply ask questions and ask them to refer you to the appropriate research so you can prayerfully consider the information, and explain you tried to research and came up short. Don't give your power away though. Just thank them for their concern. Do what's best for your family. Like I said, kids and bunnies are priceless and precious memories. I would choose them over an opinion of a guy who in the stream of time, won't care about robbing your kids and you of that family activity.

Baptismal Formula

by leftbehind in

quick question.

does anybody know what is said during the baptism i.e.

the actual dunking?

Awakenednow

If I remember correctly, I got "hold your nose with one hand and bend your knees".

The dunkers didn't say anything profound.
