  "Theocratic Warfare" and the Annual Report

  by Billy the Ex-Bethelite in

  one of the things i certainly noticed as a jw, and even during the time i was in bethel, was the complexities of reporting "truth.".

  beginning with an observation on a personal level, i consider myself an honest person.

  but something happened along the way, beginning when i pioneered.

  Even what they printed a couple of months ago is old because Jehovah is moving so fast! From last nights letter on Gilead.

  the gilead letter was read last night at the meeting, i had to listen in as they have reinstated my phone line, whatever.. so anywho the service overseer gave the part and he said that jehovah's organization is moving so fast that even what they have printed just a few months ago is now old and they just received a letter from the fs that was to be read tonight from the fs!.

  the way he read it, he made it very exciting and like jehovah's chosen religion is moving so fast that it can hardly keep up and the letter was just proof.

  the way this elder read the letter it made it sound like the married couples school is going to be so wonderful that it would suppress gilead in wonderfulness.. the elder doing the part then went on and on about how our educational programs are so much, much better than anything out in satan's world.

  An Old Argument.... does it hold water?

  estimates range from 4 million to 15 million children die from starvation each year on this planet.

  that's between 500 and 1700 children a day, depending on what numbers you accept.

  still, no matter which numbers you use, doesn't this make you arrive at one of the following conclusions?.

  Because if we don't learn to ask, God becomes someone who works for man.

  My pets take a lot of work. Whew...hard work. If I don't take care of them it gets to be a real mess. They might even die!

  So what do you all suggest that God do?

  Nothing....it's too late. At least too late to improve it's reputation.

  ok. the good news is that my wife has eased up on the whole "talking it out with the elders" thing.

  she now insists that she is doing her"own independent research with unbiased materials" on some subjects.

  unbiased?

  Just so you know, outsmart, if it comes up again with uber doober, it will go better with you if you are "mad at Jehovah" than if you are mad at the Org.

  Is POLYGAMY ever justifiable? I say yes, Yes, and YES!!!!!!

  by Judge Dread in

  it is in the nature of man to want to have more than one woman.. a man cannot help himself.

  he was born that way.. if it was legal, men would have multiple wives, two, three, maybe ten if he could afford it.. that's all.. jdw .
