Just once I would LOVE to hear...
by Justice-One inyou know just once i would have loved to hear a brother raise his hand and speak what most or at least quite a few must have been thinking.
for instance i was there when they changed the meaning of "generation.
" i would have dearly loved to have had enough nerve to raise my hand and say something like...."please don't piss down my back and tell me it's raining.

Theocratic Pornography
by mann377 injust some thoughs after reading the past wt's and reviewing the last assembly with a friend.
it still amazes me how the wtbs gets away with the absolute foolishness of their beliefs.
the only plausible explaination that i could come up with is that it is like porn (spritural nudity) such that the dubs are now addicted to.

I know much has been written on the board here as to the reasons for ones involvement in this crazy religion. It has been over 20 years since my total involvement with the dubs but thank god I'm free. I still recieve the magazines (from relatives) and refering to these as religious porn is the most appropriate discription.

Met with the C.O., and need help with 1975
by OnTheWayOut inhere is a quick summary, in august i turned in an elder resignation letter stating that i could not teach doctrine from the governing body because i did not "know" them at all, and i had doubts.
when asked by the elders, i said the doubts spring from this generation and 1975. the elders took no action, waiting for mother to tell them what to do.
would want to talk to me on his visit.. this week, our c.o.

You don't study by answering their questions. You study by asking "leading questions" to get them to thinking. Pretend to make progress and be be very accommodating, never confrontational. Go out of your way to be social with any friends that you have in the borg. This will drive the CO crazy.

This is a golden opportunity for you to "witness" to the other elders since the CO advised you to "study" with a couple of them. A blessing in disguise.

I asked the same question but was told that "a religion that had all the answers allowed no questions!"

If you could make one comment to someone in your congregation........
by ButtLight in(of course, do not give out their real names) i want to keep this thread going!
i think mine would be to the elder that got up and moved as far away as he could from me in the restaurant!
"the next time i see you in a restaurant, i hope you choke on a chicken bone!

They can get your body..........don't let them get your mind!
I would (and have) told this to different ones. Most don't know where I'm coming from when I say this. They have to think for a while. It's interesting to watch the expressions on the face of a loyal dud when they think about what I said.

Ever question why Roman and Greek myth, had similarities to Christianity?
by free2beme inthe virgin birth, the strong men, animals being used to tempt mankind, the war between gods, etc.
these are all things from greek and roman myth, yet every single one of these could be pulled out as examples from the christian bible.
i asked elders and they would say that the greeks borrowed christianity to make their myths.

Ever notice that many miracles happen near the "water". This is no coincidence. Tthis Hellenistic belief predates the bible and the Jews adopted this.
