  my sig may provide a jog to the memory.. my vision is undimmed, my views unchanged and my claws are sharper than ever.

  I'm confused. Is Prominent Bethelite an alter ego of yours or is this a separate person all together?

  Well, it's sole author and creator is back amongst ye sheep.

  Matthew 28:20, NWT:
  I am with you all the days until the conclusion of the system of things

  Matthew 28:20, KJV:
  I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.

  So... hello again, young Tim. GO forth and transgress no more. You are forgiven.

  I have a version of The List that is approximately 50 times larger than the one in your possession. It has about 20 times as many quotations and there is, on average,. 2.5 times as much commentary per quotation.

  It is, indeed, a comprehensive and systematic destruction of The Watchtower's evil edifice.

  I have no more family entombed within her clutches. The fight is now out in the open and I have both the time and the inclination to despatch the Old Whore to where she belongs.

  Don't get me wrong ... the list is great and all. And yes, it's been around a long time. I've perused it with quite depth before. Just trying to figure out how you and "Prominent Bethelite" are related.

  has anyone seen the film called god loves uganda?

  i just watched it on netflix, and i highly recommend it!

  it's a recent documentary that premiered at the sundance film festival last year.. it shows how the american evangelical right wing christian groups has changed the face of uganda by sending missionaries there, setting up churches, and indoctrinating ugandans with their brand of christianity.

  It is quite startling to watch ... even unbelievable!

  If you watch the rest of it, they really show them for what they are. Definitely not good PR for the right wingers.

  And I regret to admit ... IHOP is based in my hometown.

  Has anyone seen the film called God Loves Uganda? I just watched it on Netflix, and I highly recommend it! It's a recent documentary that premiered at the Sundance Film Festival last year.

  It shows how the American Evangelical right wing christian groups has changed the face of Uganda by sending missionaries there, setting up churches, and indoctrinating Ugandans with their brand of Christianity. They focus a lot on IHOP (International House of Prayer), but there are other groups. Thanks to these people, there has been an re-increase in AIDS in this country because they have convinced Ugandans that it is God's will to promote abstinence only, and not use safe sex with condoms.

  They have used their influence in the proposal of the "Kill the Gays" law they were trying to pass last year where you could be sentenced to death if it were determined you were a homosexual. The bill was changed to where they are sentenced to life in prison instead of death, and it was signed into law this past February.

  In the film, they ask these missionaries how they felt about the Kill the Gays law and if they thought it was the right thing to do. They shrugged their shoulders and feigned ignorance and said they really don't know what's in the bill so they can't comment on it because they haven't read it.

  My question is what role has the Jehovah's Witnesses played in Uganda with their missionaries? They hold many of the same views as these IHOP people. When the IHOP missionaries were sitting there pretending they couldn't express an opinion on killing homosexuals, I could imagine JWs sitting there doing the exact same thing. Instead of speaking out against murder, they would say they don't get involved in politics.

  If anybody has the numbers on JWs in Uganda or any information about JWs in Uganda, I would love to hear it.

  Here's link to more info about the film. http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/god_loves_uganda_2013/

  It took ALMOST 30 YEARS for justice to be served???!!!

  Yep! Thanks to the Watchtower Society! They gave him a slap on the wrist, then readily accepted him back, protecting and coddling him.

  From the news article:

  The indecent assaults on the teenage girl and the rape were both investigated at the time by a Jehovah's Witness committee and Sewell was subsequently "disfellowshipped" from the Barry congregation only to become a member of a congregation in Llantwit Major a few years later.

  Mormon missionaries use to be only male. They allow women to do it now, also, but it is not required. This article from last year says that more than a third of mormon missionaries are now women.

  What would the ideal racial demographic be for the Governing Body?

  by LogCon in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the number of white men on the governing body has often come up for discussion.

  the negro member has been called the 'token black.

  ' no reflection on his race, but it just seems odd that with the great number of witnesses around the world, in such a variety of countries, that every member, but one, is white.. in your opinion, [with 8 as the target number].

  I think the racial make-up they have right now on the governing body is perfect for representing the Watchtower Society.

  

  I'm sorry I can't take this question seriously. To do so would validate them.

  Coming soon to a District Convention near you, it's the Aposto-Blimp!

  coming soon to a district convention near you, it's the aposto-blimp!.

  be on the lookout for the latest technology for telling the truth about the truth: a five meter long, helium filled blimp which will cruise about the hapless fools at a district convention.

  made from tear-resistant mylar with propellors powered by lightweight lithium power cells, the blimp will be guided by a small computer with gps assistance and will follow its flight path in and around the stadium for hours at a time.

  I'm not sure about the pink penis thing, but that's not a bad idea! (Not penises are pink!)

  Make it happen, Skimmer!

  Put a secret operative down below to provide a feed of all the talks to you. For every point, they make, you could display a counter point on the blimp, with watchtower references, websites, and quotes. They would constantly be looking up to see what the blimp had to say about what old Morris was babbling about!
