a few official instructions jw delegates are being told leading up to the international conventions.
congregation secretaries are holding conference calls and then relating the instructions to the congregation.. atlanta - do not drive to convention, parking will not be available.
take public transportation; attendants will be on all public transit and able to assist.. dallas - attendants will be on site at all hotels to make sure delegates leave the hotel at their assigned times and take their assigned route.
WHY DONT THEY WANT YOU TO USE GPS? Don't they want you to know where you are?
If I were in an unfamiliar city and knowing it is not the safest place I would at least take a map! Imagine getting lost and ending up in Murderville.
But of course we have been told to follow instructions, no matter how impractical, from a human viewpoint.

so i have a question...according to the bible, the anointed are virgins, among other things.
so how are married fathers and mothers able to be anointedwhy xoes nobody question this?
now, i did see in this past weeks wt they mentioned "spiritual virgins" which is not in the bible...why do people believe this stuff they spew....it is so weird!
The annointed are the Bride ofChrist. They have to be pure and incorrupt in a spiritual sense.
Nobody in those days would have married a non-virgin bride - such a woman would have been stoned to death. The only exception was if a guy raped her, then she was forced to marry her attacker.
Okay okay... just sayin'! bejaysass.

interesting verdict, that despite the judge "...noting he was highly intelligent, a "mature minor" and devoted to his faith, the judge also found the boy had been "cocooned in that faith" for his entire life.".
the young man is 18 in 5 months and will be able to refuse treatment after that.
Funny how the jehoobie witlesses will support the efforts of a "mature minor" to throw their life away for a book printing cult, but will not allow the same mature minor to say he doesnt want their so-called "TROOF" and refuse to be baptised. All such children are to be kicked to the kerb, according to talks at the a$$emblie$ last year.

i was married in philippines,, 10 years later divorced in australia... now living in philippines,,, no divorce in philippines... jw's expect me to stay single n secretly masterbate or spend a night with a prostitute????....
i will ask some elders if thats ok next week... heyyy,,, maybe a blowup doll would be acceptable.... .
According to the Witchtower study on divorce: If the country you live in does not recognise divorce, AND you have SCRIPTURAL grounds for divorce, you can sign a declaration and give it to the elders that you will marry your partner legally when the law of the land changes, but in the meantime you will be viewed as married in the eyes of the WTBTS.
This happened in Ireland in the 70s (the time of that study), and now they can get divorced and married. It was based on Gods laws (ie WTBTS laws) being superior to those of the land we live in. At the time I disagreed, saying it was still living in sin, but if that study allows you to have sex, instead of the unforgivable HOMOSEXUAL act of playing with yourself, take advantage of it, I say.
In some US states a girl can marry as young as 14, in Spain 13, If that couple then moves to a country where the marriagable age is 16, do the elduhs DF the couple for fornication, or the man for child molesting?? (silly question: the girl for fornication YES; the man for child abuse NO)
HB
the assembly overall was basically all about doing more, not wasting your youth (a waste being anything but pioneering) and bashing apostates.
well without further ado... .
talk- the voice of jehovah is powerful.
The WTBTS will move gradually into porn so the sheeples dont all run away.
They will say how frank the babble is on sexual matters, reading the Song of Solomon gives us all ideas - an idea rather - of what kind of erotic imagery is appropriate for christians. Since we now live in an audio visual age, people no longer understand the paragraphs describing sex acts found in the magazines: Following the lead of the deaf masturbating video, short wmf will be released showing what these practices look like.
jehovahs Clean people can rejoice that as of January a new companion to the Watchtower and Asleep magazines will commence publication:
"The Bitchower - Announcing the Faithful Slaves Hardon"
okay so i'm dating a born-in jw woman, she's younger than me and has no kids.
i'm a christian man whos divorced with 2 kids.
we're in love and seriously want to be together.
You are in "THE JESUS TRAP", what Darrel Ray discusses in his book "Sex and God: How Religion distorts Sexuality". You sound like a classic case. Once the romance becomes less intense, and the sex not as fantastic, usually in a few months there is aconscience crisis, and she will go back to her religion to get her guilt forgiven. Then all the conditions YOU have to fulfil will be laid on the table.
Look this up, we have seen this situation soooo often here that the events follow an almost monotonously predictable sequence.
HB
no, we havent.
on the contrary, when we have discovered that our beliefs were not completely in line with the bible, we have changed our beliefs.. is this correct?.
gods name in greek scriptures?
Yes -
Hebrews 1 is an example: The psalm paul quotes says "Your throne oh God is forever" (YHWH talking to Christ) Freddie changed this to "God is your throne to time indefinite" and then changed the psalm to say the same thing.
Grammatically the verse is talking about "your throne" not God.
There is a good pamphlet on the NWT, concentrating on Colossians showing the grammatical errors and deliberate changes to the text.
newspaper now publicly names one of the local elders that covered up child abuse.
it is same elder that wt glorified before because of his work at nasa.. .

BLONDIE -
I agree with you on the difference between those who are pedos and those who cover for them.
Pedophiles are sick and need to be locked away and helped - often they are victims themselves. Those who cover for them are evil, because they are ensuring that the pervert will be given further opportunity, sometimes even enabling the necessary cicumstances.
The way that victims were persecuted by the BORG into silence and the many cases of how "elduhs" who had molested were permitted to move on and continue their trail of perversion shows the sheer mendacious drattedness of the "Chosen organisation".

yesterday, i saw a picture of a family signing kingdom melodies together.
it made me realize a fact that i am somewhat ashamed to admit:.
for over a decade, i have been aware of the false prophecies, the deceptive statements, the lack of scriptural support for many core practices and other issues with the witnesses.
How many professionally trained musicians on here can even stand the constant consecutive fifths and octaves, the dreadful parallel 7ths, false relations, crossing of parts and other abominations.
Did an amateur write those piano accompaniments, or a very clever satirist?
Give me arch catholic composer Palestrina any day. His settings of the psalms and other scriptures beat anything these clowns churn out. I get more of a spiritual KICK from his Missa Papae Marcelli (the Kyrie Eleison) than any amount of droning kingdumb songs at a$$emblies.
