I can also recall some speakers being extremely boring but generally the ones with better education (university level) gave the more interesting talks.

However the top leadership are extremely resourceful when it comes to practicing deceit and they've been taking their followers out on a long long ride.
Most of the things they tell their followers to believe they themselves know full well that they are false ideas and lies eg blood transfusion ban, 1914, the two classes of sheep. -

Young man....young man?!?!
by logansrun inwhen is a man no longer a "young man"?
i, for instance, am twenty-eight years old (ignore the avatar) and am still called "young man" to this day, by both people i"ve met in person as well as on this message board.
is it really my age?

A lot of men and all women try to hide a few years but you seem to have a love affair with maturity.
Being called young man shouldn't necessarily imply immaturity when people greeted me (good morning young man etc) that way, I never felt they were hinting at immaturity but rather at energy, ambition, and future prospects. -

Strangely enough they consider it a great priviledge to go and slave away in the Bethels that's how mind conditioned they are, as always "they will receive rich blessings and rewards from jehovah for furthering the Kingdom interests what more could they want with the big A just round the corner".
That the WTS has nothing to do with furthering Kingdom interests and is infact in oppostion to it is another story. The GB are the supreme smooth-talkers. -

Do JWs believe in "signs"
by Shawn indo jws believe that god can use mundane everyday things to show his will?
my friend says she doesn't believe in signs, i am wondering if this is a jw mindset or her personal one.
it is something i have asked her and she said it was her beliefe but i wonder how much the wts had to do with it.

They believe in angels directing their preaching activity whereas Russell believed in masonic signs and even in his death has them by his grave.

Do you ever think that you will stop JW-bashing and get on with your life?
by booker-t ini was recently talking to a girl in my psychology class who told me that she use to be a jw and was df'd in the mid 1990's.
this girl shocked me because usually ex-jws are so unhappy and miserable and spend most of their time complaining about the "evil" wt society.
she told me that when she was df'd alot of ex-jws swarmed towards her trying to get her to "bash" the wt but she refused.

That's a fair way of putting it only recently they were calling the apostates "a good for nothing scummy dross", in their watchtower mag.

We got new light and didn't even notice it
by observador inis it not shocking to identify the ruling political powers with a wild beast?
moreover, why should anyone object to the bibles saying that it is satan who gives the wild beast its great authority?
god is the source of that statement, and before him the nations are as a drop from a bucket and as a film of dust.

They better be grateful because the democratic constitutions in many countries gave them a lot of freedom so that they wouldn't have to go through more Nazi style experiences but instead live peacefully.
Funny how they play this down with their members before whom they demonise all state political authorities. Yet they did them a lot of good.
