  Emotional rip off

  by cultswatter in

  although rutherford was a mad egomaniac - when it came to business he was as sharp as a tack.

  when the "children" book was released at a most notable convention in 1941, rutherford used "power of suggestion by emotional stimulus" on a captive audience.

  he commanded some 15,000 children to flog his new book "children".

  ***

  Rbi8James1:26-27***

  26

  If any man seems to himself to be a formal worshiper and yet does not bridle his tongue, but goes on deceiving his own heart, this man’s form of worship is futile. 27 The form of worship that is clean and undefiled from the standpoint of our God and Father is this: to look after orphans and widows in their tribulation, and to keep oneself without spot from the world.

  My Bethel Experience Part 14

  by new boy in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  my strange bethel courtship started with me trying to meet mike stillman's sister, even though he worked in the ink room next to my elevavator, we were not good friends, he was just a little to "country" for me........and on the righeous side too.

  they say "there is nothing more dangerious in combat then a new guy with a map!

  ".........and there was nothing more dangerious at bethel then a self righteous new boy.. anyway one beautiful saturday morning, in 1972, we were walking to the factory, mike happen to be walking with me, and he happen to say "god........i would give anything to get out of this city on a day like today"..........i said "well....... i have a car and no place to go.........you have a place to go and no car"...he wasn't quite sure of me, but.............next thing i knew, it's him and me and 4 of his nerdy friends driving to rhode island.. needless to say, it was a great weekend and debbie who had just turned 19 was happy that her brother finally brought someone home with him, who wasn't a nerd like his other friends.

  So one day in the 1980's Bob call us and wanted to come up for a visit, to see us and his grand kids (my children)..........I said "come on up Bob, we would love to see you!"..........Debbie grabed the phone out of my hand and tolded him "he wasn't welcome NOW and that he couldn't come anymore for visits".......................

  She was just following the rules. It's a shame.

  How I feel after 2 years blinder free (32 years with 'em)

  by wanderlustguy in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i cut this out of a letter i wrote to someone close to me, thought it might be good to post.. its hard to me to express myself verbally, thats no secret.

  but why may be a bit of a mystery, maybe hell, we both know it is.

  the only way i know to explain it is perhaps to refer to something else.

  So, that struggle goes on constantly, and with it the feeling of low self worth, like I’m still that bad person, even though I know I’m doing well.

  I find 6 to 8 beers makes this go away.. You might want to try it..

  Just one problem he doesn't like Blacks. Go figure.

  He has forced one guy to quit (black) and he will treat the white folks and the Mexican folks ok, but as for Nigerians and American black folks he is rather rude.

  I had a meeting with him today and told him to cool it and went into witness mode about out of one man came all. I am a white guy as most of you know and am color blind.

  PS he would die if he knew I am gay as he really hates us faggots

  Any Ideas or suggestions?

  As you might know his hatred is well founded. Gays & blacks have nothing to live for. At any moment one or the other could snap and break out into dance. This could cause the items on the shelves in the shop to fall and break. Whites & Mexican’s never break out into dance.

  You should confess you Homo-ness & start dancing to confirm his greatest true fear. Lost merchandise!!.

  Where do you see yourself in next 5 years??!!??

  by zagor in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  well have some time so thought to write this.... i went today to uni to speak to my supervisor and he asked me a question that locked me in my chair for few milliseconds.

  he asked "where do you see yourself in next 5 years....and beyond that" then he went "... or better still imagine yourself in time 5 years from now, what would you like to have achieved?".

  though knowing full well what two 'things' i really wanted to have in my life more than anything i was really locked into this moment almost powerless, because his next question was that 'one inch' punch which blew me off as if struck my bruce lee himself, he asked "...and what are you doing now to make sure that really happens that way?".

  must have been in the back of my mind when i went to sleep.. i was dreaming that this ugly demon with a pointy hairy chin was after me.

  i dont remember alot, but the end part.
