it came on the car radio this morning, and reminded me that this was probably the big single of 1977 - just about the beginning of the end time for me with the jehovah's witnesses.. now, you might understand that as a doubting elder with many deep issues at hand (it was the ray franz era of disenchantment for many elders)...i never heard much from them about the lyrics.. however - listening to it today, i can see where a "good" dubbie might find it to be at least as demonized as the smurfs cartoons.. and yet, very ironically, looking at them then and now, i always viewed it to be a sort of pop-social commentary on the california celebrity scene.. stretching it a little, you could almost compare the traveler's nightmare experience to getting trapped into the jehovah's witnesses - thinking it was a safe haven but then finding out that "you can never leave".. "we haven't had that spirit here since 1959".

"in the master's chamber they gathered for the feast".... yes, i can apply a lot of this to the cult entrapment experience..

Time of The END ????

by wobble in

a number of religions ,not just the wacky dubs, claim we are in the "time of the end ".

now, leaving out silly numbers and 1914, which was blown away years ago, what do such apocalyptic doom-mongerers have from scripture to give this idea credence ?.

the only thing i can think of , apart from the "cry of peace and security " which is no proof at all, is daniels dream image in dan chap.

while mom and dad go to a place where they serve adult beverages.. the baby, jack, 16 months, will be a samurai warrior complete with balsa wood sword.

miranda, 4, will be "ariel" which is, i suppose, based on one of disneys latest cash cows.. i am thinking of painting a white stripe down the back of our black chihuahua, oscar.. then we will turn out the lights and watch "saw ii" just before the folks come and pick them up..

....watch "SAW II" just before the folks come and pick them up.

LOL, that's what grandpas are for!

"Congregation Collapse Disorder" or "Congregation Publisher Depopulation Syndrome"

by cattails in

on another thread:http://www.jehovahs-witness.net/jw/friends/183305/3/the-guy-that-claimed-he-was-going-to-bring-down-the-wtbtsi posted some information i'd like to split into it's own discussion: .

"congregation collapse disorder" or "congregation publisher depopulation syndrome".

the ccd problem is clearly obvious when worker bees disappear, fade away, go away, pass away.. every congregation of jw's has publishers that pass away due to illness and aging.

Was there a recent KM that said WT is more important than the Bible?

by Saoirse in

someone told me that there was a kingdom ministry within the last 2 years that said something along the lines of "jws should follow what the wt or fds says and not the bible".

is that true?

and if so, could someone point me to a copy of it?

watson

But their was another that mentioned that they have become a part of Gods word

IA, sounds like "aposta-speak."
