by nicolaou in

iv'e been posting here a long time but here's something i never shared before .

i'm still a window cleaner.

i'm not going to rant at the 'society' because they don't own my anger anymore but my work is certainly a legacy of my cult past.

Great stuff Nicolaulopolopoulos. Thanks for sharing.

Leviticus 11 - Now the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying to them, "Speak to the children of Israel, saying, 'These are the animals which you may eat among all the animals that are on the earth: Among the animals, whatever divides the hoof, having cloven hooves and chewing the cud; that you may eat.

Can a pig be genetically modified not to have cloven hooves, or become a chewer of the cud, thus after all these years making it kosher?

"a cult that masquerades as a church to make money."

by Clam in

producers have been given the green light to film a movie about a plot to kill adolf hitler at a memorial site in berlin.. german authorities had initially blocked plans and objected to the casting of tom cruise in a starring role.. .

defence minister franz josef jung had said the filmmakers could not shoot at any german military sites so long as cruise played the lead role, citing cruise's affiliation with the church of scientology.. .

the film is called "valkyrie", the plot's code name, and features cruise as claus von stauffenberg, the conspirators' ringleader who placed a briefcase bomb next to the nazi dictator at his wolf's lair hideaway in eastern prussia.germany does not recognise scientology as a religion and sees it as a cult that masquerades as a church to make money.

Scientologists reject this allegation.

Arrogance and Asinity I say!

by AK - Jeff in

as i drove thru the countryside this morning at 0300 on my way back from work [i was supposed to report and found that i had been scheduled for another vacation day, so back home i went], i drove past the kingdom hall and began to meditate in the utter absurdity of what these poor souls believe about themselves.

they arrogantly are duped to accept that the devil, the ultimate evil in all the universe, has selected them as target.

i drove past tens of thousands of people in that short drive, yet this small cluster of people believes that they alone are worthy of his attack.

Clam

Good one Jeff. Yep they're oh so special.

Many of them have unpublished phone numbers, to prevent the 'devils agents' from finding them easily when the attack begins on them. As if he is going to ring them up before he obliterates them from off the earth.

This made me chuckle. All of the Dubs in my family have never had landline phones. They've all got cellphones now, which I suppose is safe. The demons don't have a problem looking up Dubs in the telphone directory but they're too dense to find a mobile phone number.

Oh these superbeings and their strangely baffling shortcomings.

A "Man" in Spite of the Organization: ISOCF

by compound complex in

jw

what does it mean to "keep jehovah's organization clean"?

[...] it means that those men will continue to apply with all due vigor whatever policy may be current and they will disfellowship anyone who does not adhere to that policy ... the main concern is to be obedient to society policy.

the feeling is created that 'if the organization tells us to do it we will not be held responsible by god if it is a mistake.

Clam

Thanks Jeff. "Proper Procedures". Laughable isn't it? How far do they go with their guidance? "Is it proper for a Christian to rescue a disfellowshipped person from a fire?" Nuts! That's one of the things I love about my JW brother-in-law. Someone who insisted on standing down from being an elder, he's a "human" before he's a Witness. He certainly wouldn't have a dilemma with helping that young lady with her carriage. As Christians also say "what would Jesus do?"

Very interesting story and points. Thank you for that CoCo. I've read CoC several times but have never gotten hold of ISOCF. I've always felt that CoC told me everything I needed to know about Franz and his dealings with the Society, but this passage tells me otherwise. I think I'll purchase this book sooner rather than later. By the way does anyone know how many copies these two books have sold?

. . people who like to play with words and are more concerned with intellectual matters and miss the point of what the humanity in our existance is all about.

Absolutely Tyrone.
