you know it dawned on me that witnesses and indeed the gb love to highlight how political leaders and groups can never be trusted to keep their promises, and often change their ideas, policies and platforms as time goes on...once they have already gained the power from the people.. hmmm.....sound familiar???.
this is blatant hypocrisy!.
the org has gained "power and control", then countless times failed to keep its "policies or promises or platform teachings" as time moves on.
@ stuckinarut2: "The difference here sadly is, unlike politicians, these guys cant be "voted out" by the people they have power over!"
Politicians can be voted out but they will simply be replaced by others who will act the same. Those who seek power in any field are those you can least trust for any reason.
in 2012, i met a girl online who lived colombia and who happened to be a jehovah's witness.
we got to know each other for about 8 months before i went down to see them.
i was there for 6 weeks during my first stay.
i have been observing a pattern in recent wtbs publications and events.
is the importance of the preaching activity no longer the number 1 priority?
are not billions of lives still at stake?.
@ Ignoranceisbliss: It seems that insidetheKH lives up to your name.
the watchtower may 2015 features an image and timeline of the attack of gog of magog to support the new doctrinal changes introduced by gb 2.0.. now i wonder where they got that idea from?.
attack of gog of magog.

Maybe they should make a movie out of their eschatology. Like the Left Behind movies?

the meaning of the name boko haram is "secular education is forbidden".
so due to their stance on higher education, i charge that jehovah's witnesses are the same as them only not as valiant in their madly misguided doctrine.

here we go again... let's study... news report... comment.... who is gog of magog mentioned in the book of ezekiel?.
for a number of years, our publications have explained that gog of magog is the name given to satan the devil after his ouster from heaven.
this explanation was based on the fact that the book of revelation identifies satan the devil as the leader of the worldwide attack on gods people.
They look like zombies rising from the dead:

@ insidetheKH: "...only to make clear to @Village that local examples can't be extrapolated to the rest of the world."
Yes, it might be anecdotal information, but I've heard similar multiple reports from different sources. You might want to start a thread asking for information about congregation mergers. I'm sure you'll hear a few accounts from all over the US.

what does delivering magazines have to do with skills in a ministry?.
"many people who enjoy reading our magazines do not wish to study the bible with us.".
Will they be taking the singing trolley with them?
