  PERFORMANCE: the role of the Governing Body of mystical magicians

  by Terry in

  the truth about magic.

  the truth about magic is that a magician jealously guards his secrets for a different reason than you might at first imagine.

  it is the art of misdirection combined with the concealment of the important element or fact that sets you up to be fooled.. both a magician and a religious authority change the rules of reality.

  O please...I'm only going by what you've said. You have stated that you were pretty hyped about knowing "the truth" and that you enjoyed a sense of superiority in that "truth"...you got what you wanted from the WTBTS. With everything you've said it sounds like the "relationship" was symbiotic until it started to go downhill with the draft. And even then you felt you could become a "better" JW by studying. And then others weren't up to speed when you came out of prison caused what feelings in you?

  I'm sorry, I don't remember...have you ever indicated that, back then, the knowledge you had gained of the WTBTS "truth" humbled you...

  Has the feared and much anticipated,'Jehovah Witness Great Tribulation', now started in earnest during this year of 2013?

  the watchtower states that the great tribulation.... will start when the united nations attacks babylon the great.

  it appears individual states of the usa are starting to get that ball rolling right now.. .

  with the world wide child sexual abuse cover-ups across the globe getting special attention from the media.. legislators across the usa seem to have lost the fear of getting the nod of disapproval of 'clergy', especially from the younger members.. law professor marci a. hamilton writes, "across the country, the movement for justice for child-sex-abuse victims is finding that conversations that used to begin with a discussion of the catholic bishops' opposition (and then often ended abruptly) are now started by a member's saying, "they don't deserve deference on this issue.

  dear a watcher...

  Jesus said that He would keep His own from the GT. They are "sealed" against satanic attack.

  dear Terry...

  The WTBTS gives people what they want initally, whether it is "knowledge", a "family", or "protection". A continued loyalty to them provides that (aside from the inherent evil that is festering). The only "trick" is that a person has to keep paying whether in or out. That is the "nature" of buying into a lie.

  dear Terry...

  are you telling me that that smart kid who grew up with a seeking grandpa was "tricked" by "proof texts"?...

  I'll believe that of others but not you.

  dear mP...

  the koran is only part of the history of the islamic movement...there are also the hadiths, which are more lengthy. they go into the details of what happened in mohammad's campaigns as well as the manipulative nature of his rise to power.

  God chose israel as a people. in those days, as in these days, there were wars between nations. The difference between these nations was the fact that God wanted israel to succeed in order that His Christ would be delivered through the nation He chose...to be a blessing to all who would choose Him.

  There is no other people nation that God chose.

  The thing about king david is that he REPENTED of his sins. God always accepts people who have repentance in their heart.
