The Irony....(brother) Prince
by Simon Morley in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
so ("brother) prince is coming to town and he is quoted as saying that "as a baptized jehovah's witness he has put his past behind him".

on one hand he is allowed to put on such a concert that the gb states that baptized jehovah's witnesses should not go to.

would the gb frown on (brother) prince attending his own concerts?

morbidzbaby- I believe the reason these celebs get a free pass, whereas the normal pissant rank and file do not, is a simple thing indeed. MONEY.
Really its not that its the publicity that they are scared of. They let prince and the williams sisters get away with 'double lives' that most dubs would be hauled to the back room for because they are scarded of the public backlash that would come.
kinda ironic for the group that once declared they would ADVERTISE ADVERTISE ADVERTISE the king and his kingdom.

In the LAST DAYS (mockers, scoffers) ridiculers will come saying:
by Terry in
1. watchtower
2. bible
(2 peter 3:1-13) ... niv....."in the last days scoffers will come, scoffing and following their own evil desires.they will say, where is this coming he promised?

ever since our ancestors died, everything goes on as it has since the beginning of creation.

waaaaay back when these words were written an embarassing awareness of delay was in the air among christians.. shortly after jesus was executed the story was circulated that he arose from the dead and was witnessed by a great many people.. but, jesus (it was said) went up to his father in heaven and would soon return.. time passed.. more time passed.. ....and still more time passed without jesus coming back.. the idea that deliverance was "near" began to make believers squirm with discomfort.. instead of standing around waiting, enduring persecution and praying constantly for reward....a new task emerged for christians to take.

I just watched the movie caligula (which holds up well considering it was made in 79.) As I was watching I thought 'I can see how some looking on the decadance of that time would dream up the savior scenario that we have in the new testament.'
To all who hold that jesus is coming you really should investigate the times and mindset of those who were alive back than.

Question for Ex-bethelites: Governing Body Medical Expenses
by sabastious in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
the governing body must have health insurance, right?

i ask because i was wondering how much money has been spent to keep them alive to such ripe and old ages.

do they all just have impeccable genetics or did they greatly indulge in the worlds medical services to cheat death like the rest of us?
darth frosty

my first asshole room mate worked in the bethal infirmery and attended to some gb including franz. they basically have the same doctors availible to the rest of the bethelites. i would imagine that if they needed some specialty treatment they would go out of bethel to find it.
now this would be availible to most bethelites but some would be required to pay back the extra cost for coverage outside of bethel infirmery.

So Why Exactly Did Joe Paterno Get Fired?
by Philadelphia Ponos in
1. watchtower
2. child-abuse
someone reported to joe that they witnessed one of his coaches molesting a young boy.

joe reports it to his bosses and his bosses reports it to the da.

betweeb joe, his bosses, and the da someone questions the coach about the alleged molestation and he denies it.
darth frosty

Joe pa was god in that state.
to prove 2 years after this incident when his 'bosses' came and tried to get him to retire he basically told them to fuck off and his 'bosses' did just that.
also he knew of allegations of this guy diddling lil boys from back in 98?!?

Anybody ever seen Robocop!
by Star tiger in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
hi,.

in the first robocop severval experiments implanted a human brain into a robotic form, i feel that i'm in the catogory of the one that realised they were totally alien in that form, just as a rational mind into the jehovahs witness mentality and would probably blow their brains out rather than live a total lie!!.

star tiger.
darth frosty

I think OP is compacting robocop 1&2 together.
in 2 they tried to make another robo coand failed because the test subjects couldn't handle the new form they were inserted in. It was revealed that what made murphy the perfect speciman was his sense of duty and love for his family...in pt 2 they got a crackhead.

Is there a Jehovah's Witness gestalt?
by Terry in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
there is a german word: gestalt which means that.......... something is more than the sum of its parts.. .

a diamond seems to be an excellent example of this principle, doesn't it?.

carbon (as in: carbon dioxide) is everywhere and it is "cheap".. but, diamonds are prized as very valuable and expensive.. a diamond, however, consists of almost entirely of : carbon.. .

My favorite gestalt

And the longest possible time that we will have to
endure this old system is until we die,
really when they said in the 1918's millions now living will NEVER die?!?
