Maybe it's just a way to hide thier greed. or at least to put a guilt trip on some.

More lies and b.s. from the society, you and I both know, no one is going to quit a good job just to be at another boring meeting and to be able to handle the microphones, count magazines, or attendance figures in the congregation if they did they are dumber than a pile of cow manure (imho).

Picked up the wife who had been visiting for a few days with a friend of hers, when I went into the house to say hi, I almost puked too. The coffee table had wt and awake rags decorating it. the walls were decorated with WTs Mags, the Calendar was promenintely displayed. on the wall. Her desk had WTs spread all over it. The bathroom had WTs in it along with Bible stuff what a loser she is. Her whole oife is wrapped up in a CULT.

Disturbing Information Passed on in Annual Elders Meeting?
by Dune inas you all may know, the elders around america have had (or will have) their annual meetings.
you know, the ones where they are trained and brought up to date about the whole scheme of things.. anyway, an elder who i happen to be close to was telling me yesterday that some troubling/disturbing things has been going down in congregations worldwide.
he also mentioned that it will be mentioned in watchtowers and km's in the next few months.. anyone know what he may be talking about?

The disturbing new will probably have to do with witnesses actually trying to think for themselves. What is happening to our youths, low field service hours, we aren't getting enough $$$ out of you people. Divy up some bread $$$. They never have anything good to announce, and the bullsh*t in the Watchtower and Awake rags having nothing important and haven't had for a number of years. Maybe they are going to dumb down the awakes and wt's and the kingdom ministries because they are so educationally advanced for a 5 year old. who knows and who cares.

When discussing Jdubs in college class one day, I was very surprised (not) that most there didn't know much about them, except that they woke you up early on a saturday morning.They had no idea as to jdub beliefs etc, except a couple knew that they didn't celebrate holidays. So much for their being a witness to the world, they (the jdubs) should really be asking themselves what it is they think they are being witness too. I know many have heard the b.s. about we are witnessing just by being out in the neighborhood walking door-to-door and that we reflect our love of God. What a crock I was in a class of 55 people and only two/three knew anything about them. Most had never had one at their door or at least not when they were at home. I just wished my last p.o. had been there to really hear about what people thought of them. They didn't think much because reather than being a witness to the world and spreading the gosplel of de Judge, they are a group that not many people think of or care about at all.

Maybe your congregation is on a diet and can only take so much spiritual b.s.(er) I mean food. Count your blessings. In most congregations I was in, there was at least one to two elders in a standby mode for cases like this, Guess the elders at your congregation weren't prepared or they couldn't guilt trip any of them into taking the b.s. by the horns so to speak and give the public offal course.

Just tell him you are quits with the religion, and you will find out what kind of friend he really is, whether it be a real friend, or a conditional friend. It's best to know up front so there isn't any hard feelings one way or another.

The Generation of 1914 fading away - Armisitice Day
by truthseeker inwhile the watchtower bible & tract society continues to support it's 1914 doctrine, in the new young people ask video and its magazines, one can't help but wonder if they notice world events that challenge their chronology.... http://www.boston.com/news/nation/washington/articles/2005/11/11/ever_fewer_wwi_veterans_mark_the_armistice_of_1918/?rss_id=boston+globe+--+national+newsever fewer, wwi veterans mark the armistice of 1918only about 50 thought still alive.
by douglass k. daniel, associated press | november 11, 2005. washington -- lloyd brown remembers armistice day in 1918 as few -- ever so few -- veterans can.
''for the servicemen there were lots of hugs and kisses," recalls brown, of charlotte hall, md., a teenage seaman aboard the battleship uss new hampshire, in port stateside when the fighting stopped.

Just more of their infernal beliefs that is being/has been proved wrong, the great crowd from 1935 is next then the rest of their b.s. will still make sense to the R&F who have blinders on and can't think for themselves.

Elders, perfect kind men who should be respected.
by free2beme ini know some former witnesses away from the board and when we have talked, we have commented on how we still see people put elders in this category, even after the exit.
once in a discussion with someone who used to be an elder, the person who used to be an elder did something kind of harsh in their comments.
the person in the group stated, "there is no way someone like you would have ever been an elder.

I know of one genuinely nice elder, he died about 16 years ago, but live ones, are you kidding. some can be nice as long as you state or go along with the status quo, but one stey outside of the path and they shed their sheeps clothing and become ravenous wolves. I know of one who doesn't take any vacation time except for the District conventions, and the CO's visits, that is really sad They dont watch TV they have a dvd player and only watch the crap coming out of the Society. I damn near puked when I heard that, but I guess each is captured in their on private hell.
