my son went to the dc this past weekend and we visited on the phone for a bit about what he picked up there.
he of course was sad and worried for us because we no longer have anything to do with the org.
we covered alot of issues that had to do with why i felt that the org did not have gods holy spirit.
Stillin, the clay and iron thing related to the Anglo American world power is pointed to by the Governing Body/Faithful and Discreet Slave/Writing Committee, whatever, as this:
With all of the civil liberties, legal stuff, humanities, etc., these two great powers can no longer act in a way to really get things done. They have become ineffective. Thus, a very brittle mix.
That's what I got out of it.
the "friends" have a new barometer by which we can judge each other's level of spirituality.. yes, the use of facebook.. have you edited your friends list yet?
i think if we look closely at our theocratic facebook friend's comments, photos, and social events, we will be able to judge whether or not they are good association.
the big plus here is that we will be able to see just how theocratic they are for comparison purposes.. a lot of "read between the lines" comments made at the latest district convention has the "friends" in a real tizzy.
It's another "Let my conscience be Your guide" thing, brought to you by your brothers at Bethel.

A lot of "read between the lines" comments made at the latest District Convention has the "friends" in a real tizzy. Although a little disturbing, fun to watch.

the lack of intellectually stimulating material within the jw religion right now is astounding.
there is clearly a lack of spiritually dense material and a surplus of ridiculous, childish babble.
the regular "food" that jws are being fed is illustratively equivalent to pureed baby food.
Can anyone produce a single piece of literature written by Freddie that would support the notion that he wasn't bat$hit crazy?
That's what made him such a great oracle!

Yes, we want to see more of you Purps.
this works well for elders who are cowards and want you out but dont really have a dfing offense to hang on you...even if you make no statement written or oral that you no longer want to be a jw they can say you quit jw.
they can say that some actions of yours indicated to them that you have disassociated yourself and when that happens they are not even required to tell you there is a committee formed...so there is no reason to tell you a letter is going to be read and so you have no two week period to challenge their decision...but they do not even have to tell you why they reached the decision that something you did that made them conclude you have disassociated yourself.
in fifty years i have never even known anyone who disassociated themselves...and have never even heard of anyone disassociating themselves without even knowing it!!!!
Seems like years ago, you had to write a letter of disassociation, and it was because you wanted to leave, or felt you no longer belonged. I think it has morphed some.
she attended a local club for her company's celebration party.. they were saluting her for doing an outstanding job.. she wore a pretty little black dress and those heels again.

i tell you, that girl is getting bolder and bolder, or is it more and more brazen?.
Disappointed....clicked on link hoping for pictures.
dear friends,.
as you may know, the watchtower society takes great pride in its district conventions.
please contact me if you can attend any of these protests.. there is no reason why every district convention in the world could not have a protest and receive media coverage to expose the watchtower society.
You made some good points Mouth.
Outlaw is in rare form on this...
there was a recent thread here which covered the subject of the gb claiming to be spirit directed (and not actually inspired by the holy spirit).
by now, most of us are quite aware that this is just a play with words to excuse themselves whenever one of their false doctrines is debunked (by someone using the bible or their own publications).
but when you think of it, spirit-directed is actually more presumptuous than spirit-inspired.. that being said, id really like to draw attention to the fact that the wt continuously claims that the governing body of jehovahs witnesses has never claimed to be inspired by god (through his holy spirit).
A spiritually mature person is able to glean the "proper understanding". You sort of have to read between the lines, but it's all there, even in the glow of new light.
