i saw an instagram post showing a short clip of a talk being given in one of our southern states.
the talk clip showed speaker making the statement, "jehovah doesn't want anyone to know satans real name, jehovah hates satan so much, he doesn't even want his name mentioned" .
i posted in comments: matt 5:44-48 with the full scripture rendered from niv.
"Jehovah doesn't want anyone to know Satans real name, Jehovah hates Satan so much, he doesn't even want his name mentioned"
err--didnt jevovah create satan in the first place ? and if he hates him so much--why didnt god simply delete satan ?
you dont think that--perhaps---the whole thing is just an ancient fable by chance ?
observing our local unemployed pioneers and how long they take to get to their first or next call, usually taking the longest route to get to one they know won't be there anyway.
along the way it's gossipy this and that.
pioneers?
it was they who taught me The Pioneer Shuffle.
ha ha------great title.

so, the holy, holy, holy governing body(tm) are on tv and very much to be worshipped (like rock stars).. do you think there will come a time when the jws won't have public talks (as an example), and rely totally on the tele evengelism from the gb?
i say this because a public speaker used to be offered travelling expenses when visiting a different kingdom hell.
either the popes will stop this, it already has been stopped.
i wonder if they will have jehovah on as a guest speaker ?
invisibly--obviously.
when you were attending the kingdom halls did you see feuds and hate filled wars against members working on the new personality?
how strong were the elders in keeping their halls filled with love not hatred, jesus said everyone would be filled with love, there was no room for hatred in jesus christ's view of how christians ought to act!
when you see children shunning parents, parents shunning children, aunts, uncles, grandma and grandpas displaying qualities jesus said were "instant tickets to hell" why do the jws keep attending the meetings if their filled with hate?
work this out.
my father--now 94--has been a jw for 53 years now. he and i have a close relationship.
my 1st (ex) wife--a born in---and i ---had 3 kids===1 girl--2 boys.
daughter ( jw ) --now 43--wont talk to me--or my father
( old rift )
1st son--now 39---is now d/f--so--his mother--and sister--wont talk to him------neither will my father----but son talks to me now.
2nd son--now 37---is still a jw--so wont talk to me--or his older brother.
theres now a total of 8 grandchildren--ive no idea who does--or doesnt--talk to each other.
i gave up trying years ago.

am i the only one who has single, desperate sisters in the congregation?
they tend to be holier-than-thou, frumpty, but in private talk about getting married.
but they don't understand why no brother will look at them.
Faye Dunaway : " how often hands are up"----
nope--not even a finger is allowed
greetings, folks: so, it's been 40 years since 1975. and, if you were actively involved with the witnesses back then, the mindset of many was, that by early autumn of 1975, it would mark the anniversary of 6000 years of human existence.
and, the hope was then, that it would mark the start of the 1000-year of christ, from the heavenly realm.
but, looking back now, 40 years ago, in june of 1975, only 3 more months remained until early autumn.
yeah---the 7000 year day is what really "stumbled " me back in the 60's--i even asked Ron Drage about it at an assembly. he just said its all in the publications--ha ha.
so--why not 7 million years ?

.Since there are about 1 million Jehovah'sWitnesses in the United States, about15,000 Jehovah's Witnesses have conditions,which normally require blood transfusions.If we estimate the rate of additional deathattributable to blood loss about 1%, about150 Jehovah's Witnesses are dying each yearin the United States due to blood refusal
yep---thats the theory----but any facts to back that up ? just how many of those unnecessary deaths are reported each year ?

.
if i recall correctly--the person was fatally injured in a road accident--and a blood transfusion would not have saved him anyway. a tragedy.
more recently--there was a case reported of a mother of 9 dying for want of a transfusion.
which begs the question--does anyone know of any any other loss of life as a result of the watchtower policy--in the last 12 months--anywhere in the world ? only i take a lot of convincing there have been tens of thousands of deaths since the blood transusion policy was invented.
