the ring stuff is fine, but the accent of a non Hispanic speaker doesn't mean he is ungodly. Listen to my German!
every paragraph and every article in this issue is nonstop heavy artillery fire propaganda.
i have never seen a wt so full of logical fallacies, appeals to emotion, appeals to authority, guilt tripping and bite techniques all in one issue!
paragraph 9 states clearly that even though the gb is imperfect, that does not matter, we must obey them anyways.
Losingit:
The litterature is the body of "Christian Publications" that have "become PART OF THE BIBLE" - so that CO was quoting scripture. The Witchtower has declared this already you daffy thang!

Notice too that the man apparently addressing the congo is using PRINTOUTS of witchtower litterature, not the real comics.
OUBLIETTE-
A pious sneer friend of mine went to the P School, in the early 80s. They were told:
1: You are an example to the congo.
Therefore
2: If you hear a dirty joke and find it funny you must not laugh or show it is funny.
3: Even if you have not had time to pre study the witchtower for Sunday, put marks on the paragraph, so people looking will not think you are slacking.
Teaching hypocrisy to my mind.

so i'm reading another carl sagan book and he seems to invariably find a way to slam j-dubs in each one.
(i can't say i blame him.).
anyway, in this one he discusses the fact that the gospels give contradictory geneologies of jesus--differing lines back to david from joseph, and a different number of generations.
Stephen Hawking wrote Brief History of Time.
the watchtower on blood serum.
documents 6 reversalsin 20 years from 1958-1978. http://ajwrb.org/science/the-watchtower-on-blood-serum it is difficult to understand how anyone could possibly continueto believe that god is directing these men after readingthese published statements.
education is the key.
The 1990 quote that a globulin injection is okay because it is not being used to sustain life, implies that even a whole blood transfusion is also okay, as long as it is also a temporary precaution, and not used to keep you alive.
Talk about contradiction!! A precaution is okay, otherwise shut the #### up and die.
I am astonished that any sane doctor is still a witness after reading the egregious trash the society has pumped out on this subject.

why do witnesses believe it was jehovah that said they would be persecuted in his name......it was jesus that said we would be persecuted in his name.
i often hear are the meeting the interchanging of names between jehovah and jesus.
it seems like the sheeple drones at the meeting have no real clue about the bible or how to believe.
They don't even talk about "da troof"anymore when socialising. It is like James Penton said. When almost an entire Congo worth were seceding from the Borg, a special talk was given, with Beth Hell heavies attending. Freaky Freddie Franz was there, and he shrieked "in heavily accented Spanish that "you should only study the bible at the Kingdumb hall, not at home!" " (Apocalypse Delayed) Also how Bethel slaves were told not to do bible study, instead take up some hobby.
This is a balanced unbiased history book, as he does not grind any axes, or take sides in his accounts of Russell's divorce, or the various power struggles. He has excellent credentials.
Also interesting is his account of one woman in front of a JC Inquisition, who was treated so viciously she collapsed, and an ambulance was called. They DFed her even though she was too ill to attend any more star chamber sessions. In fact the purges he describes are equal to any by Ray Franz, Dogpatch or Olaf Jonsson.
Apocalypse Delayed - which I just read - can be borrowed from OPENLIBRARY.ORG - an excellent resource. There are plenty of free PDFs around for Ray Franz and Jonssons books which I also finished over the last few days.
I am more convinced than ever that there is no spirit of real Christianity in this sham religion.

over the past several months, we've seen a flood of youtube video's showing not just the advertising of the cities for the international conventions, but also of the "entertainment" happening at various convention halls and congregations.
examples would be the line-dancing, worldly music, dancing outside the conventions, etc.
many of us who grew up in this ultra-strict, thou-shalt-not cult are left with our jaws on the floor at this seemingly "worldly" display of showy, excessive, mainstream behaviour.. progress is happening.
Just see the venom they come after anybody at those parties if they openly disagree with even one word form God's mouth piece.
