Conveniently unused scripture
by Pleasuredome innow that ive stopped going to meetings, ive had to become the faithful and discreet slave for myself, so to speak, and read the bible often and meditate on what it says.

now jehovah is the spirit; and where the spirit of jehovah is, there is freedom.

An other one they're used not to mention is Jeremiah 25:12
12 "But when the seventy years are fulfilled, I will punish the king of Babylon and his nation, the land of the Babylonians, for their guilt," declares Jehovah, "and will make it desolate forever.

Yes indeed too little too late.
This evening there was a part at the service meeting about single mothers. Why didn't they sent that mail earlier?.
BTW do I need to say that that part was boring.

At the convention were I went, the speaker compared the organization with a diamond. He told us not to look too close to the diamond otherwise you could see some scratches.
This talk was given one week after a pedophile article in the newspaper and on tv.

*AUDIO* of our COVERT OPS & THE STORY
by zev ingwen and i went on a mission .
going in as a couple of "interested ones"...into a kh that i was reasonably sure i wouldn't be recongnized as the "uadna-ri" i went in with a hidden wire and tape recorder to get the "evidence".
on this site you will find links to 4 audio files... the first two are "the part", and the other two files are an audio clip of the "love bombing" attack we got when we left the first meeting, and the reading of a letter to "all congregations" concerning the discontinuation of subscriptions.. as with all jw things, it is interesting to hear the comments made by the speaker, things not written in the km, and views, attitudes, and references made when speaking of how to treat disfellowshipped family members.. all in all, i am glad we went on this misssion.

One thing was noticed in my congregation is that not many elders were willing to give comments. This I also noticed on the audio-files.
How many else noticed that?
Was there a BOE letter telling them not to give comments?

The bible reading is now only 4 minutes, if the reading parts are as long as they were sometimes this year, you have to be a very good reader to read it in 4 min.
About reading from the Watchtower, the comment given at the last years conventions was, that it was to prepare the brothers for future reading during the Watchtowerstudy.
The bible highlights in 10' is still too short.
All has to be done in 45'. This is never going to happen. Think of it the Schooloverseer climbing up and down the stairs all the time for only one minute of counseling.
