Why zombies?
by FadeToBlack ini just saw ww-v with brad pitt the other night (i know i am behind the times, still trying to catch up on movies i missed the last 30 years) and it struck me- why are we always fighting zombies?
is it just easier to justify the carnage?
it seems to me, that the most horrific carnage seems to be neighbor-vs-neighbor.

Doomsday movies in general - not just zombie ones - have captivated the hearts of many. Many secretly wish for an under populated world. Combine that with an action plot and you've got the perfect combo. -

Any thoughts on the real reasons for droppng the 'school"
by sparrowdown inmy thoughts are.
1. they want to avoid being made to comply with any laws that come with anything classed as a "school" especially a school with children enrolled.. 2. the mid-week meeting has been dying in the ass for years and needs a revival.
i predict happy -clappy-sing-a-longs to be included in the program.. anyone else have any thoughts ??

They made a mistake when they lumped the book study to the service meeting. It must have been a burden to prepare for three segments in one meeting. I think they're just streamlining the meeting as well as making it shorter. -

To all of those who give credit to apostate ideas on anti-JW sites for changing Watchtower doctrines please keep in mind that our ideas are not as original as our egos (including mine) might think. There are probably thousands of ex and still-in JWs who, without any collusion, come out with the same ideas.
I myself came up with the idea that the Watchtower magazine should be trimmed down to a monthly issue - 35 years ago.

Who Really is ..... The Blood Washed Multitude (Great Crowd) ?
by Perry infor jw's the issue has never been who the faithful and wise servant (f&ds) was.
that is just misdirection and sleight of hand.
it is plain from the context that this was obviously a rhetorical question meant for self introspection.

Perry: "The New Testament is the world's best selling book by far."
Most people who own a Bible don't read hardly any of it.

A simple explanation for the financial changes
by JeffT inas i've mentioned from time to time, i'm a retired accountant.
i have tried many times to come up with some logical, sound business reason why the wtbs has made the big changes in its financial arrangements: taking the congregations savings, the monthly donations per congregation etc.
i finally came up with the answer.. the leadership of the watchtower society is batshit crazy.

JeffT:
"The leadership of the Watchtower Society is batshit crazy."
They have been rational enough throughout the last 130 some years; why should they be crazy now?

Revolt Brewing At Headquarter and Different Branches and The Governing Body Is Losing Credibility Among It's Staff
by Brokeback Watchtower inin my mind i see this as a very real situation developing rapidly world wide as these child molestation pay out become public knowledge and can no longer be denied or kept secret from the r&f.
pretty soon the governing body will be the but of many jokes at headquarters and abroad.
they are being caught red handed while robbing the cookie jar.

Brokeback Watchtower, what kind of rebellion are you talking about? I could picture a partial exodus from those branches but I can't picture any alternative JW sects forming. -

Sorry Perry but that movie is far more memorable than the 4 Gospels combined.
Sacrifice is a common motif in the myths of Man but that simply means that the myth of Yeshua ben Yosef has the same roots as the rest of them.

SecretSlaveClass, having two children per household is not going to reduce our population. Having one child will. Resources will continue to be depleted at the same present rate with two children per couple.
What is needed, as I previously mentioned, is a complete restructuring of our civilization and that won't happen unless the current one collapses.
