  Question: Why was it ok to sell unbled meat to a foriegner for them to eat?

  by Lady Liberty in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  hello all... ok, i have a question for any takers: deuteronomy 14:21 says this:.

  21 "you must not eat any body [already] dead.

  so, it is obvious that this is why they could not eat a animal that they found that had died, say from natural causes.

  Paradise NOT

  by TJ - iAmCleared2Land in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  well, now, i knew there was a good reason why i didn't want to live forever in paradise on earth:.

  from the sept 1906 wt .

  for instance, those who will constitute the church, and who will be changed from earthly to heavenly nature in the first resurrection--"changed in a moment" --will be spirit beings like unto our lord, and like unto the angels also in respect that they will be sexless.

  Adam didn`t have a schlong before he lost that rib?

  Yes, he did. But it was used for "evacuation" only. Nerve endings added later...

  BETHELITES - Whatever Became of?

  by Black Man in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i often times wonder what happened to certain bethelites that i ran around with during my 1990s tenure there.

  while there are still a few left there, the greater majority of them aren't there for various reasons (marriage, disillusionment, left the borg, etc).

  a couple of cats i wonder about - there was one brother who i believe was from kansas, who got his fingers cut off in a printing press.

  Who masterminded the WT mind control 'routine'? Was it deliberate?

  by Gill in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  is the wt policy of five meetings a week, daily text, book study prep, book study, thursday meeting prep, thursday meeting, watchtower pre study, public talk, watchtower study, a deliberate ploy to keep the members under mind control?.

  is this 'routine' carefully thought out and planned by someone or did the watchtower society just evolve this way 'accidentally'?.

  is there a 'mastermind' at work aiming to keep jws tightly under mind control and if so , who is it?.

  Emo,

  I thought the same thing. It just takes a little more time than I can spend to do it. It would be a real eye opener for many here at JWD. Another subject that is subtly there all the time is, "respect for our provisions," "slave," etc.

  College or Contributions?

  by watson in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  it's probably been suggested here before, but it just hit me that maybe one of the reasons we are discouraged from sending our youngin's to college is that it might put a crimp in our available funds for the "world wide work.".

  possibility?.

  The problem is that, if they allowed college, the income would likely be larger

  That was the irony I saw in the whole "push" away from higher education...

  It is as if someone is whispering in their ears every morning to 'remember, don't do this, don't do that, do this and do that.'

  You nailed it.

  I would say that the majority revolve around, "following direction," "humility," "patience," "associations," "the light getting brighter," "the worth of higher education," subtle remarks about those that would be critical of the organization, and being careful not to "open ourselves up to dangerous thinking." A lot can be said in just a few words.

  I have the feeling that most on this discussion board no longer get the "Examining the Scriptures Daily," daily text book. It would be worth getting if you can. You won't beleive it.

  Not to "over do it" on the Examining the Scriptures Daily thing, but, we are encouraged to read the bible daily, with the daily text as the starting point, if you don't have a lot of time. The scriptures chosen along with the Watchtower quotes, which keeps our thinking going in the right direction, are very effective.

  This is a very good subject!! Every "piece" of the routine has control as it's goal. I now actually enjoy reading the daily text just to see how in depth the control tactics are. Amazing!
