(john 3:1, 2; 19:38) this fear.
overcome fear of man.
Re Opened Mind, the brothers are not supposed to teach while conducting the Watchtower anymore. Just read the questions, and repeat this:
"Are there any other comments?"
My opinion on today's study was that it was meant for the "brothers" already attending the meetings. A subtle way to appeal to our egos, get us off our ASSes. Look at the position we have put the org in now. They have to go out and recruit men just so they can opertate the congregation.
Will probably work on some.
well, i sat thru day 2 of the latest circuit assembly.
instead of having the co or do re address the "generation" confusion, they had a couple of brothers do a demonstration.
mocha break out in service, weaker brother mentions he's tired....all of the changes lately, the confusing new understanding of that generation, et al.
My patience is running out. I hate for her to go to meetings, etc., alone. I know the stigma attached to being a sister with an "un believing mate" (Eyes opened apostate), so I go to support her.
Anyway...back to the upbuilding Circuit ASSembly.

Thanks Mary. I gave up my football afternoon to hang with the wifey. Don't think I'm going to do it again. Tried so hard to not upset my girl. Couldn't hide it very well though. She looks at me sometime in the latter part of the day and says...."you ok?, you're frowning.."

Another highlight:
In his Keynote Address about Armageddon, he was trying to show us how Jah's "cleansing" of the eart was necessary. So, he used the example that if your house full of ants, or cock roaches..or, or, if what about snakes.....would you just leave them alone? Wouldn't you want to have them completely out of your house?? Equating any kind of human being to this vermin makes me vomit. It's this type of teaching that gives JWs that charming arrogance that we all love so much. I felt like asking "what if they were puppies?", or "what if your house was full of babies.." Obviously i was becoming delirious.

It was interesting how he did it. During his review, he kind of said it as an after thought, almost under his breath. Really weird. I missed the first day, so they probably planted the seeds for this tripe then, and he was just getting the heads bobbing today.

I felt sorry for the brother (stronger and more faithful) that they used to try and explain it. Rough. Halting, nervous...I was more confused when he was done. There was a strange feeling that just hung over the audience when they were done.
The DO later associated Apostates with pedophiles and kidnappers. Not making this up.
Wish I had a recorder there. Although they announce before each session that anything recorded should not be shared on social networks, internet, etc. There were quite a few snippets that were obviously related to critical (Apostate) thinking.
Watson
in the form of a prediction, that can be proven to truly be a prediction,i.e written before the event, and it came true ?.
it would be good not to have time wasters on this thread in the form of the common ones that are brought up to demonstrate the bible's prophetic prowess, like cyrus being named , these have been debunked already.. but does there seem to be a genuine prophecy in there somewhere ?.
Seems like fullfilment of prophecy should be easier to see. I need to be more spiritual I guess.
just about the funniest thing i've read in ages!

You're not going to believe this, but this story is getting a very positive response from the Brothers....getting email links, facebook postings. Some real excitement building in the ranks.
Berengaria paints with a broad stroke, but I cannot disagree.
