In arecent thread, a DO said that Jehoobie only gives out holy spirit through the Governing Body (I kid you not)
So what is the point of begging god for it?
But but but but NOOOO - The Gibbering Buddy IS God.

recently we had the 'privilege' of attending our local special assembly day.
the theme for this year was safeguard your conscience, and you guessed it, they looked up every reference to the word 'conscience' in the bible and then wrote a talk about each one.
it was most definitely a case of "pack your bags, we're going on a guilt trip.".

"We should not listen to self-help guides: What is "in" one day is "out" the next."
This from the Watchtower Society???? SERIOUSLY?????????
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

because of "religious" differences, she now wants me to move out and "separate"...i said what biblical grounds does she have for her request?.
she couldnt respond...she said she'd rather be beaten up by me than have an "apostate" in the house.... this org definitely encourages conditional love.... i don't know what to do...by the way, we dont have children.
.
The Watchtower Magazine (the real Babble to witlesses) says that if a wife feels that there is a threat to her spirituality SHE can "depart".
You are the head and owner of the house, and her "husbandly owner". Respect for theocratic order is absent in her. She cannot throw YOU out of your home. She can choose to leave.
If you dont really care for her anymore, file for divorce on grounds of mental cruelty and religious persecution.
You will always come third in her relationships with the Governing Body and The Witchtower Babble and Trash Society taking 1st and 2nd.

watchtower studies like today's really make me feel anger for this cult.
i mean almost all of them do but this one is one of those articles that takes things too far.. i mean they are condemning the people who are trying to help/save the earth because it's "satan's" world and instead are saying that religious salesmen with magazines are doing way more than the others!like are you f**king kidding me?another reason why i hated this study article is for what some of the young ones did in response to the study.
as one was unwrapping a piece of candy, he decided to throw the wrapper on the ground.
Didnt jesus do temporary good for the poor sick and lame?
NO only for the "Deserving" poor sick and lame. (A WT term)

i'm thinking they will be force to do a reality check as the clock ticks and things keep going down hill for the corporation they are ceos of.. that means they may come clean or change their delusion as the hard cold facts come knocking at thier door.
or they may hang on tenaciously to the delusion and exibit more and more bizarre reasonings.. i'm thinking this delusion to too hard to get out of and so exspect more bizarre behavior.

Remember in "Life of PI" near the beginning, where it says that an animal in a Zoo will happily stay in its pen as long as it has its needs for food etc fulfilled.
When they do try to escape it is not because they are looking for something better outside. Something in their pen makes them uncomfortable or frightened and they are trying to get away from it.
The people who leave are unhappy or uncomfortable. As long as the Gibbering buddy thinks that beating the sheeples will improve morale the bleeding away of members will continue, and accelerate.

okay so i like dramatic lashes.
and my grandma told me all the women are complaining about them being a distraction.

Get a couple of post-coital tarantulas and balance them on them there lashes and watch your batting average go sky high!

check out this arriving in april:.
what bible principles apply to the useof cell phones while attending christian meetings and sharing in the ministry?.
for everything there is an appointed time.
The use of toilet paper at the kingdumb hell is influenced by the principle that God's people do not waste the precious resources (ie MONEY) that shoud be directed to the Faithful Slave.
Therefore Christians take a morphine-based anti diarrhoea medicine before attending, so there can be no bowel movement before returning home. Anti nausea/vomiting medication is also advised, so revulsion at the blasphemy and manipulation does not result in a soiled carpet.

we had our special assembly day this weekend.. what the district overseer stated in his talk totally stunned me, and made me feel sick to my stomach.
he said, "christ is directing us through the governing body, and we cannot get holy spirit except through them!".
i do not wish to reveal all my thoughts on his statement, but i pray to god that it acts as a wake-up call to at least some of the audience.. suffice to say that the gb is now the mediator to our mediator, and from now on, i will have to pray for holy spirit through the name of the gb!!.
"If you, although wicked, know how to give good things to your children, how much more will your Heavenly Father give HOLY SPIRIT to those asking him."
Who said this? Pretty ignorant wasnt he?

during the public talk last week the elder giving the talk.
mentioned the tragedy in newton, conn where an evil.
man killed 27 innocent people including 20 children.
They actually printed a definition of "WICKED". it was in a Witchtower in the early 80s.
People are wicked if "they are of no use to Jehovah" ( read "Watchtower Organisation"). In other words:
Anybody with common sense, who refuses to let the Gibbering Buddies squeeze out their juice screw them over and then tell them "it's your own fault for having expectations - you CHOSE to believe it."
