thus proclaims the quietly un-annointed governing class of the watchtower and bible tract society, passing as truth.
(watchtower july 15, 2010, page 23, paragraph 10).
this paragraph about the governing body follows a description of the annointed class, a classic bait-and-switch.
I thought the whole point of this "study" was to let us know that the Faithful Slave/Governing Body was fine with the incorrect teachings and revelations of the past, and that we should be ok with it too!
I think they should just come up with a chant or something that the "friends" can all repeat, over and over again, after having to read this drivel. They need to work on that.
the watchtower study today was unbelievable.
there is no longer any accountability for the boys at the top.
see paragraph 10, if you dare.. .

have there been stories of people reinstated but not forgiven by there congregations.
i'm think about coming back and thats one of my fears.. .
If you got any tatoos while out, be sure you keep them covered up when you go back. You'll never overcome the stigma.
being a jehovah's witness at any time and at any level is a major head f*ck.
the reason is that it obscures what is important and causes you to focus on what doesn't matter.. i've moved on from my jw experience.
it's a shame that i found myself a born in, taught to focus on things that don't matter.
Made it to the end, wanting for more.
It's interesting how some people have a way with words.....and some people...no have way.
thought i'd start a new topic on my experience.................... just got back from the above assembly.......... here is my take on my first and last assembly.
9:40 song and prayer - half the people were still in the toilet...and no one was singing, i didn't have a song book (i am worldy you see!!
) so i just stood and stared at the odd looking fella on the stage miming, rather than singing!.
Maybe the one getting baptized was someone that had been "out" for awhile, and realized they needed refuge again..
hi all.. i have to attend a special assembly on saturday "take refuge in jehovah".. has anyone been to this yet....what can i expect?.
here is the line up...... 9:40 song and prayer.
9:50 why do we need a refuge?
That last talk looks like a real motivator~
i looked through your posts but couldn't find your life story.
have you written it?.
i would love to read your progression from/through jw to avid scholar :).
i'll the start with the late 1960's and 1970's because aside from a few songs from the byrds, the doors and pink floyd i don't go back that far.
i'll also skip the eagles.. 1970's: .
