  YOU "THINK" YOU KNOW.....BUT...YOU DON'T KNOW!!

  by Terry in

  the door to door work is a sham.. the central activity of the watchtower bible and tract society is not spreading their so-called "messege" about the kingdom of jehovah established in the heavens in 1914. that's a load of propaganda.. the door to door activity is feckless in producing converts.

  in fact, it is an immense failure of mammoth proportions!.

  but, it is a diversion.

  You make me proud that my first name is Terry also. *smile*
  
  "Watchtower Bible & Tract Society owns their own printing presses, makes their own ink and paper and have free distribution of any/everything they print to all corners of the Earth. They charge money for their books, magazines, etc. They don't pay their distributors anything by way of wages/salary. Is this profitable? Doesn't matter because they are a tax-exempt religious organization that doesn't answer to public scrutiny."
  
  Vertical integration.
  
  I have swept aside things in the past, before my stint, as well as during it, about the sincerity and motives of the organization. But in the last few weeks, I have seen very convincing information here that really points to the true purpose of the main people in the organization - securing a tax-free empire. There are sincere people within the ranks, as I once was myself. But, with things like the Tacoma Parking scandal, and other situations like it, there are too many instances of deceit and duplicity when it comes to money, or the threat of lawsuits, which, of course, deal in money.
  
  If the organization's leaders truly trusted in Jehovah and had the backing of holy spirit, it would not concern itself with the things it concerns itself with. Period.

  UPDATE: Why am I such a prophet? My prediction I made to myself was that the next time my friend called, that he would have some snippy attitude with me while we conducted our business (I have been doing his taxes and a few other odds and ends for some time). Lo and behold, he did. Just a little more acid than the give-and-take we have routinely given each other over our 15-year friendship. Frustrated, I guess. I did not mention it before, because it didn't matter then, but a significant part of his frustration and shame is him trying to stay clean from cocaine (he is a functioning addict these last few years, I found out). He still likes his prescription drugs, and probably may still do those. meh.

  Martial Arts – ultimate self-help system

  by zagor in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  after leaving j-dubs one of the first things i did was to enroll in kung fu martial arts school (and recently even started doing ninjutsu).

  it was one of the best decisions ive ever made, until recent times at least.. what ive quickly learned was that beauty of martial arts transcends physical skill and techniques.

  it is by no means only whole body workout; it is body and mind workout in its fullest sense.. to master advanced level of martial arts one cannot skip over underlying philosophy.

  I always was fascinated by the martial arts, and even while a dub, still watched the ocassional boxing match or martial arts demonstration/fight.
  
  I have recently decided to start an informal study, but with the same goals as OP: use the underlying philosophies to replace those I have cast aside.
  
  I have spent quite a bit of time on the histories of the various arts, and while I have appreciation for all of them much in the same way a first-rate musician has respect for all musical forms, I have decided to take an a la carte approach similar to ninjutsu and Bruce Lee's philosophy behind jeet kune do.
  
  It is what fits my natural philosophy. Nin kune do, or whatever I choose to call it. The Way of the Stealthy Fist. As a way of a quick primer, the ninja practioners weren't
  
  only involved in the spying and assassination that the movies portray. They actually started as freedom fighting rebels who waged guerilla warfare on the oppressive samurai ruling class.
  
  They sought to protect their religious freedom and physical freedom. Unlike the samurai, who were bound by the chivalry-type code of Bushido, the ninja's philosophy of ninpo allowed for many
  
  more means to accomplish a goal.

  not sure if this was posted yet, but the boys in bethel are at it again.

  the october 15th botchtower study article is, not so surprisingly, very negative and down on any parents that are encouraging their children to go to university.

  i don't have a scanner here, so i'll have to highlight some of the more vomitous (is that a word?

  Dec KM indicates extreme paranoia over booking hotels NOT on the list

  by truthseeker in

  2. friends

  over the years, the society has included half a page in their annual guidelines when planning for and attending the district convention.. in particular, they have been very insistent that only hotels on the recommended lodging list be used.. .

  the language in this month's km is even more insistent than last years.. .

  here is the text in full, with the original emphasis.. .
