  Motivations for Watchtower leadership

  by GetMeOutofHere in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i’ve struggled for some time with this question.

  why would the elders, cos, branch committee, helpers to gb and the gb themselves devote their lives to progressing in the organization, if the whole thing is one big sham?

  i have 3 ideas so far.. 1) money.

  I disagree the GB are believers. Perhaps at one time in their mission a fraction believed but they stuck with the program and won. Bailing out/giving up their fantasy lifestyle now and returning to their simpleton lives not an option - not even close. They're on stage/acting careers have won the academy-cult award and they're going to make demands/police cult members and beg for their monies until they draw their last breath.

  Ray Franz was an anomaly and endeavoring to do the right thing if not for his belief system for mankind - very rare. He gave it all up -- and Old Unc didn't even help him. Blood relatives/family failure 101.

  So now it's Pompeo and Pence who are "warmongers" -- right! I hope President Trump continues with strength via words/warnings of action whatever it takes to protect the world from the actions/problems caused by the previous inept, leadership -- Obama/Ole Hil. Iran ring a bell and billions dropped off to aid them.

  You could always refer back to Horndog Clinton re/his gifts to the NoKo despot (don't forget bombing the aspirin factory -- doesn't get better than those 2 Dem leaders) and how successful that's been. One dismal failure after the other but easier to ignore the facts.

  It might be the best place in the world -- I love Northern Italy - and Rome/Florence and Portofino -- well, all of it! I think Northern Italy has some of the most delicious food up above Torino.

  The biggest mistake.

  by Half banana in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  a long time ago, before television radio and films, before printing, before the invention of writing, people listened only to the spoken word—and the cry of birds, the wind whistling through the trees and the sea crashing on the sea shore.

  before written text they knew about the gods because high up there in the night sky was where they lived; gods, goddesses and immortal heroes.

  the constellations told of their exploits.

  Iriddle80 - I enjoyed reading the share. Question - are you aware that cows can be dangerous -- especially ones with calves and can become very protective and even attack people! I hope there was a fence between you and the cow! WOW. Bulls aren't the only danger.

  Do you think there's any chance your therapist helped you with assertiveness/strength re/your marriage or believe it was all just prayer and faith? I appreciate your viewpoint.

  Iriddle80 - thanks and I apologize but I do recall reading some of your posts and one about your prayer experiences re/your son.

  Feel free to post your "cow" story or better ones -- I'm curious now.

  Iriddle80 - have you posted about your experiences and stories previously? I hear this so often -- I use to feel the same way myself but realized it was just coincidental -- in my case.

  Anyone Tried "Sous Vide" Cooking?

  by Simon in

  1. social

  i like a nice steak but cooking one can be a little intimidating and the results hit and miss especially when it comes to getting the right temperature so getting it wrong can be an expensive mistake.

  can anyone do that "finger and thumb together to check the doneness" thing?

  i can't .... so i came across this cooking technique called "sous vide" which cooks food (in a sealed vacuum bag) in a warm water bath, even steak.

  Thx/sounds intriguing and challenging for us around here -- I'm more on the level of using skillet/oil/butter on gas cooktop to brown the outside but the torch probably cleaner/less stove top mess and more efficient once familiar with process. I think I'll order and have my tech-y adult kid who loves that kind of thing set up.

  You are cutting-edge tech! Thanks.

  The president responsible was the great orator, Obama -- our country's most corrupt yet! He and Ole Hil had it all wrapped up with the aid of the Russians.

  Dumb dems are dead in the water but they will try every magic act possible (luck out and succeed at some point/evil prevails) -- after all they don't want the public investigating the swamp and the cover blown how political lifers of such incompetence/ineptness equals swampers (both sides) walking away from public office on less than a $200K/yr salary miraculously turned into multi-millionaire status. Obama/senile Biden ring a bell -- the taxpayers have been asleep. Ahh, but the swamp loves you and wants you to have everything for free - they received free and want to give free -- equal distribution - free everything except Obama slipped on that promise and better health care, and oh my a litany of socialist crazy -- priceless.

  NO NO & NO -- because it doesn't come under the requirements of high crimes and misdemeanors - BOTTOM LINE regardless what the Dems are trying to do. Plus the Senate is never going to convict him unless there is some really bad act like Clinton/Nixon.

  We keep hearing about impeachment but what are the factual grounds?
