  pretoria [ south africa] - an unusual urgent application served before the gauteng high court this week,in which a lyttelton manor resident, who said he is was known as the “anointed one” among jehovah’s witnesses, asked the court to officially swear him in as the worldwide leader of the organisation.. ernest gericke, in papers before the court, told judge bill prinsloo that the “first business of the christ is the legal establishment of the kingdom of god on earth, known as the jehovah’s kingdom.” .

  gericke said this involved the the conducting of a covenant for a kingdom, which is to take place on april 11. .

  “in order to effect the legal requirements for the kingdom this honourable court is requested to hear the public oath of the office of the king.

  Sadly, this is not much crazier than the dubs' actual beliefs.

  They already believe a bearded sky daddy raped a minor girl in a totally holy way, impregnated her with his bearded sky son, who was transformed into an Earth baby for 33 years.

  The Earth/sky superbaby went around doing magic tricks and giving weird speeches, but despite all of his superpowers, he's unable to show himself even a tad bit today. He is hiding in the clouds.
  

  Then he deliberately allowed the humans to torture and kill him slowly, but not before hosting a dinner where he told his guests to pretend wine was his blood and bread was his body. Instead of being grossed out, the guests enjoyed pretending they were cannibals so much that it became an annual tradition to have the pre-funeral cannibal meal.

  And the people who celebrate his resurrection are totally evil.
  

  Not much crazier than a man wanting the court to appoint him to lead this BS.

  Marc & Cora on YouTube causing unnecessary divisions

  what is it with this pair?

  why do they have to constantly have a bitch about guys like john cedars?

  a very recent video of them shows them calling him a 'village idiot' and making other disparaging claims.

  I can't speak for the youtubers but I know some of us are skeptical of Cedars because of his involvement in AAWA and their claim that he still supports their organization.

  I will never forgive AAWA for what they did to many of us.

  Special Pleading + Blind Obedience = Compromised morality and even extremism.

  i had an interesting discussion over the weekend with a coupe of witness on the carts.

  i asked them if they put much thought into the rights/wrongs/consequences of writing letters to russia before doing so or did they just do it without thought because the gb asked them to.

  one said yes, they would always do what the gb said to do because they completely trusted that the gb would never ask then to do something that is wrong.

  True, and they have been doing it for years. I remember writing letters to the government in Malawi. I guess we were not neutral then either.

  Of course...when have they ever been neutral in this way? Not in the 1930s, that's for sure.

  As funny as it is, I think there is something deeply wrong with a person who thinks flashing his naked body is the best first line response to an annoying person knocking on his door. And people doing that to children is, at best, super disturbing.

  The householder has many other options, including not even answering the door, or opening it and yelling at them. Of all the options...why does he reckon NO PANTS is the best one?

  WT about elder positions

  by Gorbatchov in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  yesterday, visited the hall for family reasons.. wt was about elder positions, educate younger brothers, delegate your work etc.

  the usual story about the body of elders, give younger people a change and don't get atached to your position.

  what was evident: 90 percent of the answers came from the sisters.. the elders looked like the house cat just eaten tweety.. never heared so much theory and knowing it will be fully ignored.. why make it a 45 minute issue for every tom, dick and harry?.

  That is like your boss writing you a long memo, dressing you down and telling you to not get too comfortable, and making you discuss it aloud at a meeting with your staff.

  Well done, wts

  ESL Teaching in Russia by JWs

  a while back, i had stumbled on some information about the jws infiltrating russia and china by using the esl teaching networks.

  my son teaches english in china so i found these forum posts especially interesting.. when it comes to researching about teaching esl in foreign countries, the forums are your most valuable resource.

  i had considered doing it - back in another life...going somewhere and teaching english.

  i have some tricks to play.

  i know it may sound childish but i feel that creating havoc and forcing the memorial to be postponed will be the highlight of the night!

  wish me luck!.

  I have another idea for you: Takeout menus

  It would appear as though you are just promoting a restaurant. Some would actually read it and be enlightened.

  This is more evidence of the cult's predatory nature.

  These ESL "classes" are no better than the sinister Narcanon of Scientology.

  BTW I "taught English" for a short time, using wts publications, as an easy way to meet my pioneer hours quota (which I still failed to do lol). The wts used to have publications designed for this specific purpose.

  Here in Canada we have Justin Trudeau who's government is backing moves to make criticism of Islam a crime.
  

  So I looked that up, and what the actual f....!! I officially don't like him anymore.
  
  

  One useful feature of Christianity is the ability to stop Islam. Atheists must consider this. The threat of Islam is real.
  

  That is like replacing vanilla ice cream with chocolate ice cream and claiming we are now free of milk allergies. How about we work towards eliminating the actual problem (religion) instead of replacing it with a different flavor? Atheists do recognize that the threat of vanilla and chocolate are real.
  
  

  How would you like it if random strangers hated YOU just because your former religion condones shunning and letting babies die by refusing them blood? Would YOU like to be blamed for all the damage JWs cause?
  

  That random stranger is dead right, and we are all to blame for our own voluntary actions and for supporting bad acts voluntarily.

  these douche bags left a memorial invitation in my door today, after i have already told them point blank, "do not come to this property ever again," which was months after my trespassing letter.. how dumb can people possibly be?

  is there such a thing as an iq below zero?.

  so i want to send a 2nd letter with the tract ripped up inside, so i will have a 2nd receipt showing another attempt to get them to leave me alone.. how do i know which hall's territory i am in?

  I sent a letter to Crooklyn once saying not to come to my property ever again, and elders came to my property to discuss it with me. Mind you, I had been out for >10 years at that point. I ordered them away and said don't come back.

  I have moved and now they just keep appearing.

  I am going to totally deface the tract and enclose it with the letter, either by ripping it up or writing apostate graffiti on it.
