A public talk about an invisible kingdom with earthly representatives who somehow have super perceptive powers and bring enlightenment to all mankind.
Weird, huh?

17Strange Talks
by AgentSmith inthe thread regarding how the ms and elders keeping up the facade while knowing its all wrong made me think of something.. this happened in the ministerial service meeting.
the ms started his part on the program but it was soon evident that he was not firing on all cylinders.
his speech was monotone, slurred even.

Do you think that the 'Convention' tract work will seem silly to most?
by AK - Jeff inin this territory it will mean 'inviting' people to a religious convention about 200 miles away, about a religion that most already do not care about.
i believe this could be a 'tactical error' on the part of the gb, who seem mostly interesting in keeping the urgency level on high with this.
but as far as future converts are concerned, won't most people who were riding the fence as to classifying this group as a cult, go ahead and jump down on the affirmative side of the fence with this stupidity?

Yes. Crazy. Lunacy. Idiocy.
To think that I used to believe we were doing God's work. Warning people. Extending the love of God to them.
And all the time those people knew better than I. Those goats at the door knew more truth than I ever had.
Have I mentioned the WTS are evil?

How many Dubs REALLY want the end to come?
by zack inmany of the dubs i know don't really want the end to come.
sure, they like the idea of youth in perpetuity, good health, no death, peace.... who doesn't?
they want those things to end.. but in their heart of hearts, do you really think they actually long for the destruction of other human beings that are so graphically depicted in the pubs?.

I was thinking more along the lines of what Blondie was saying. Yes, the beleievers want the knigdom to come and the benefits, but in a way the thought of everything
you have ever known being totally uprooted is disconcerting.

Do You Think The Leaders Of The Watchtower Truly Believe What They Say?
by minimus indoes the governing body and its helpers really believe what they teach?
there's so much emphasis on the great tribulation, once again, i wonder if they believe that the end is soooooo close.
i know some of the "faithful" believe everything hook, line and sinker.

The bullshit artist, the really good one with strokes reminiscent of Renoir or Van Gogh, delivers his bullshit with the sincerity of a true believer, He doesn't believe the
substance of what he says, but believes in his own pathological need for you to believe it. The GB are the best BS artists in all creation under the sun. Who else but they could devise
and perpetuate religious ideology that is often akin to fratricide and believe that it is ''for the good of the flock." They are patronizing and evil, shameful in their arrogance, and culpable for
all the hearts they have broken and every spirit they have bowed down. Their own publications say that God will not excuse ignorance when ignorance is willful. How then can God,
even their God, excuse them? They know the TRUTH but love the LIE. To the true BS artist, the LIE is so much sweeter.

So I called Bethel a few days ago...
by Kudra ini pretended to be a student in a sociology of religion class at a university i made up... middlebury community college in dallas texas... :p .
i said i was doing a report on how different denominations deal with the litigation, mitigation and media coverage of abuse allegations... .
i said that i was wondering if the coverage i had seen all over the internet about the payout to the victims in california would be covered (and when) by the media page on the jw website.

No surprise for me. If they don't answer the questions from sincere believers in the God they purport to worship, why should they answer anyone else's?

Splane has a penchant for verbal flatulence. He is known to some as Bro. ex-splane, since he seems to know so much about everything (in his own mind)
This is one of the "glorious" ones Jesus has entrusted THE ENTIRE PHYSICAL UNIVERSE to.
Did I mention these guys are evil?

I haven't joined ny "other " church and probably won't. My wife asked me why I said the WTS teachings weren't Christian. The answer was pretty simple.
The WTS teaches JW's not to be with Christ and not to WANT to be with Christ. How can anyone be a CHRISTIAN (a follower--- which would be a following wherever he may go)
and yet not want to BE with Christ? It seems that this desire is what makes a deep faith possible which in turn moves person to works of faith and goodness and love.
It's what makes a person do something because they WANT to and not because they HAVE to.
