Lol. The last JW that visited me (16 MONTHS ago) were supposed to be calling back with answers to my questions. Accurate knowledge (to a JW) is how the Society interprets the Bible on a weekly basis.

We don't do things because the organization tells us to like we are mindless puppets, but we do them because the Bible tells us to

You do things because the SOCIETY requires it of you.

Poor JWs on a RV today........

by Gill in

you talk to people in general about jws and what a crock of shit their beliefs are and you think 'maybe i went on too much!

' 'perhaps they weren't really listening anyway!

' "i wish i hadn't bothered!'.

What would you do (if anything) if you saw 2 Dubs (who you know) doing return visits on a close neighbour?

Here in the UK "trunks" are put on our men folk's nether regions before getting in the pool!

Yes - either that or left at a railway station's 'left luggage' with a body in.

Well, yesterday Mr Midwich decided to treat me by taking me out (during daylight) in public. We went to a Bric-a-Brac fair (what does Bric-a-Brac mean?)......

I thought I'd seen everything, but this was a village hall full of tat (not to mention demons, which must have been wall to wall). On ONE stall there was a top hat, boat and car (from a Monopoly set) - 50 pence each

September KM - 70 alterations in Revelation Climax Book

by dozy in

i can't find a thread on this subject yet - if there is one , please delete this one.. the september kingdom ministry has a 4 page insert detailing the 70 alterations in the revelation climax book which is due to be studied at the book study shortly.

i'll provide scans if anyone is interested.. i will leave it up to more experienced analysts to examine the reasons for specific changes , but just a few brief observations for now:.

p32 box - "they were completely exonerated" changed to "charges against them were dropped" - interesting change of terminology for the 1918 watchtower eight.

Has anyone heard any comments from current JW about this? All I've heard is, ''it was too hard for me to understand before''......

I suspect it won't make much difference, sadly. If Dubs study publications they find too difficult to understand, then how can they KNOW it to be right?

Do the Governing Body have a priviliged life style or not?

by Gill in

having heard that ted jaracz is being flown out of state to consult a heart specialist, i started wondering what other luxuries the governing body of the wtbts enjoy!

any one any idea how they really live and if their vow of poverty is fake?.

Having heard that Ted Jaracz is being flown out of state to consult a heart specialist

What? He's not 'waiting on Jehovah' to cure all his ills in the 'New System'?

I thought it was only certain Catholic Orders that took 'vows of poverty'.

Such Pharisees!

i guess i'm gabby mouth tonight .

my brothers are both elders, i'll call them brother a and brother b. brother a disowned my mother since our dad passed away, because he's mad at things that happened when we were kids.

apparently it's easier to take it out on mom now because brother a couldn't stand up to dad - but that's another story.. it's a while since dad passed and brother a refuses to return her emails, phone calls, help her in any way.

Hope you have a great time

Just curious - is this a 'secret' trip - (your Mum being a Dub, and you d'fed).

The Watchtower and the UN--MY letters and Brochure--

by uninformed in

i wrote the wt for a year before i was df'd over the wt-un/dpi-ngo deal.

i have all of my letters, the wt jerkoff letter back to me as well as a compilation of a simple little brochure, documenting that the wt was more involved with the un than for a library card.

if you would like to see and read it, i would like your feedback.

MidwichCuckoo

I agree with jgnat - the UN has been consistent and and helpful in this matter, and should now be left in peace - unlike the WTBTS, who has been the opposite.

I feel for all the R&F who are totally unaware of what happened (and are being made fools of, in my opinion), who are condemning the UN (as they have been taught to), not realising their leaders were prosituting themselves to it.

I'm all in favour for a standard letter to be produced and distributed to certain members of EVERY Congregation - as I believe EVERYONE has a RIGHT to be in full possession of facts - and I know that here in UK, R&F are ignorant of this whole matter.

Great post - thanks for putting it all together!
