  August 1980 Kingdom Ministry about Apostasy & Franz resignation

  by cabasilas in

  i was sorting some papers tonight and came across a copy of the august 1980 km which announced the "apostasy against the organization" (a letter from the governing body) and has the notification that raymond franz was no longer a member of the governing body and bethel family.

  i remember reading this just as i was making plans to disassociate myself at the same time.

  this copy of the km was in some papers that belonged to my mother-in-law (who passed away several years ago).

  Mommy, you don't have to give or know all the answers. Jesus didn't give a picture of paradise earth. He was very much about how to treat others, NOW. Follow that example, keep it simple. It's not some theology to be reinterpreted. It's humanity 101. That's his main message.

  Your mom is going through chemo. You have stuff going through you like a pregnant woman-stress hormones, etc. Your mom's life is precious. You have to find good somewhere in all this because it validates her life and your life together. Good stuff happened. Friendship existed, even if it wasn't an overcoming a cult level of friendship.

  Take the good memories. It doesn't mean you have to accept the bad stuff.

  words fail me .... http://religiondispatches.org/god-hates-nags-why-in-gods-name-is-westboro-protesting-kim-davis/god hates nags: why in gods name is westboro protesting kim davismembers of the infamously anti-gay westboro baptist church (wbc) arrived in morehead, kentucky today to picket the rowan county courthouse, workplace of kim davis, the county clerk and religious liberty martyr who rose to fame by refusing to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples citing gods authority.daviss religious right credentials are solid.

  her stand for religious liberty has resulted in the support of four presidential hopefulsted cruz, mike huckabee, bobby jindal, and rand paula visit with the pope, and comparisons to rosa parks.

  plenty of others opposed davis, of course, both because of her anti-gay stance and because of her refusal to do the job she took an oath to do.

  You know what's worse? Our very literate and progressive country has more rapes than illiterate third world nations. And India.

  There's no excuse.

  here is an idea i tested.

  works at both assemblies and conventions.

  i have noticed at the last convention and at my last assembly that when i opened up my wifi setting, tons of hotspots came up for people tethering their tablets to their smart phones.

  Welcome. You are gonna be fine. However, if you think it is the truth, it's going to keep sucking at your life and drawing you in. If you don't think it is the truth, get out of habit of saying it(calling it "the truth") asap. That will get your folks hopeful about your return. No sense in giving loving parents false hope or a roller coaster experience. Don't over think it. Live a healthy, productive and happy life and honor the good from your parents while choosing your own path. Congratulations!

  Today's watchtower: obey us, no matter what

  by Tornintwo in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  today's watchtower:.

  obey us, obey us even when it seems strange, obeying our man made hierarchy equates to obeying god, sacrifice your own interests, work for us, don't be independent, put your own interests aside, obey some more, preach for us, build for us, enjoy it, obey some more, forgive when we are jerks to you and mistreat you, accept your changed assignment even if it seems cruel and doesn't make sense, don't complain if we move you (eg.

  ) because you might have to move in the new world, remember you are being trained to obey, remember to put your own interests aside, that's the way we are designed to live - it will only make you happy!

  They are making paradise earth as appealing as waiting in line at the Mogamma(major govt office in Cairo) in July during a blackout.

  Honestly, how is the kingdom bureaucracy any better than the US goats? Stand , wait, don't get what you expect. Later, rinse, repeat.

  Zeb has a good idea. I think the reason such tax exemptions originally started was because churches and other, similar groups typically bring more value to a community than their tax contributions would. As we know, this is not true with the WTBTS or Jehovah's Witnesses.
