Yes I'm going tomorrow. I might even go tonight. We have a service at 11 tonight. If I'm still up and about at 10:30 I may head over there to sing some carols.

Merry Christmas Serenity!

had a thought, yeah i know they come every now and then, of how it is that the wt really feeds the sheep, they are all captive in a pen and the gb is shoveling manure to feed them and they are eating it up only to get indigestion, and yet they want more of it, seems to me that after eating a lifetime of bs from the gb one would wtfu.

but no for some it will never happen as they have become acclimated to eating the bs that is feed them.

for those that have waken up and jumped the fence so to speak, they find that the grass is truly greener on the other side of the fence, and we have hope that those sitting atop the fence will see that..

I've never figure out why people stay with it so long. It is hard for me to understand why I did. For some I think it is like McDonalds. The food isn't great but you get the same thing anywhere you go. You can be lazy, you never have to think about what to order. You just say "I'll take a number 3" or whatever. If you eat there regularly I think the last thing you would want to do would be to investigate their ingredients. High sodium, high fat, chemicals, the slaughter houses... best to just listen to their commercials that tell you how much fun it is to eat the crap.

Some of the reasons witnesses sit on the fence so long are:

Fear of the world. They have been constantly told that there is no where else to go.

Many avoid questioning out of the fear of where it would lead and what would happen. Every Jdub knows any doubts expressed out loud can have serious consequences in this loving organization.

Ego is another reason. Leaving the Watchtower would involve admitting you were wrong and believed a lot of stupid childish ideas. Not an easy thing to do when you've spent your entire life strutting around telling everyone else that they wrong and you had all the answers.

I don't know how it will ever be possible stop wars as long as for profit corporations are allowed to make money of them and buy politicians with the money they make.

Text message from a bro at the hall I got this morning as I woke

we miss you, hope to see you soon.

your dad will be wondering where you are at the resurrection.

love, bro.

I quit!

I wonder if he wrote it real slow so he could count his first half hour of service time on you.

I think would send him a message back saying that resurrection into Watchtower World has about as much chance of happening as the generation that saw the events of 1914 not passing away did.

Why did they stop the book study? It appears that some of them may be using their free time to have some fun. Maybe it is time to get them back in the KH where they can keep their eye on them and make sure that they are properly indoctrinated.

I love that picture fade. I wonder how many kids walked by her wishing that their parents would listen to the nice lady.

The Church, Jehovah's Witnesses, Antisemitism and the Holocaust

by Band on the Run in

for weeks, i've been reading constantine's sword.

i believe the author is carroll.

he traces antisemitism from the 1st century, the first generation of christians.

I quit!

Did that book say anything about how Jews got into banking? My understanding is that they got into loaning money because they were forbiden from entering other professions to earn a living.

The witnesses always made a big deal about how many witnesses died in the Nazi camps (and that is awful) but I believe more Catholic priest died at the hands of the Nazis that JWs. I think I read that in Barbara Grizzuti Harisons book on the Watchtower.

As a JW I always sensed the underlying hatred of Jews in the Watchtower. Maybe it went back to Rutherford whos antisemitic statements are on record or maybe it was because they felt they replaced the Jews as Gods chosen people and didn't like the idea of the Jews trying weasel their way back into favor with God putting them back out on the street.

I've never understood why people hate Jews. Some of my best friends have been Jews. Some of the kindest people I've met have been Jews. Some of the funinest people on the planet are Jews. I just don't get why some people are that stupid and mean to as hate and entire group of people whether it is for ethnicity, skin color or some other dumb reason.
