  watchtower: God approves lies, deceptions, faked bible dramas.

  by waton in

  2. bible

  in this week's wt study, the article suggests that you might be discouraged because you were not given wt "privileges".

  but here is the unintended admission: "jehovah" has picked a lying servant, putting on deceptive bible dramas to do his bidding.

  1 kings 22. passing over those with more honest intentions.

  An adulterous murder, David was not allowed the privilege to build the temple , decried that loss of privilege, but retained many others

  14. What outstanding example did King David set?

  14 Because of the limitations of age, health, or other factors, we may not be eligible to receive a certain assignment or privilege in the congregation or circuit. In that connection, we can learn from the example of King David. When told that he had not been chosen to build God’s temple​—something that David had dearly hoped to do—​he gave full support to the one whom God had selected for the assignment. David even contributed generously toward the project. What an outstanding example to follow!​—2 Sam. 7:12, 13; 1 Chron. 29:1, 3-5.

  You may be too young or too old, have health issues, do not put in enough field service hours, have no clout or pull to receive an assignment, but according to the Bible narrative, David is sited for his fine example. The study article forgets to mention all of King David's wives, his adultery with Batsheba, leading him to arrange the death of her husband, Uriah.

  What a fine example David set!

  When was your last Kingdom Hall meeting?

  i stopped going to kingdom hall meetings about nine years ago.

  i was fading for the longest time, refused to go out in field service, dropped out of the ministry school talks, no longer answered at the watchtower study, arrived at the meetings the last second, and left as soon as possible.

  i couldn't take attending the meetings any longer.

  I bumped into a JW "friend" one day who said, "I hear you guys are missing a lot of meetings?"
  

  I used to sit next to the last row at my Kingdom Hall. An elder, wife and their two boys would sit in front of me. The boys were about six and four years old.

  Five years ago at my mom's funeral, the oldest boy told me that he missed seeing me, and wanted to know when I was coming back to the meetings. He was really sincere. I really had no answer.

  i know he’s a great golfer.

  we know he just got into a major car accident (again).. i respect his golfing abilities but personally i’ve never cared for him and i think the press glorifies him sooo much.

  On the other hand, two-group generation concept is so absurd that they may feel their hand is being forced, for even in their ivory tower, they must be aware that even those who understand it don’t really believe it. Short of decoupling the ‘generation’ from the year 1914 completely, it’s hard to see what they could have up their sleeve. I genuinely hope the rumour is false – this overlapping-groups generation is such a valuable weapon to use against them.

  But straight back to business as usual for the military industrial complex and crickets from their media buddies.

  George Carlin said:

  Americans can’t build a decent car, can’t make a TV set or a VCR worth a f**k, got no steel industry left, can’t educate our young people, can’t get health care to our old people, but we can bomb the shit out of your country all right! Huh? Especially if your country is full of brown people—oh we like that don’t we? That’s our hobby! That’s our new job in the world: bombing brown people. Iraq, Panama, Grenada, Libya, you got some brown people in your country, tell them to watch the f**k out or we’ll goddamn bomb them!”

  
  

  “Now you probably noticed I don’t feel about that war the way we were told we were supposed to feel about that war, the way we were ordered and instructed by the United States government to feel about that war. You see, I tell ya, my mind doesn’t work that way,” Carlin says in the Gulf War routine. I got this real moron thing I do; it’s called ‘thinking. And I’m not a very good American because I like to form my own opinions. I don’t just roll over when I’m told to. Sad to say, most Americans just roll over on command—not me.”

  “I don’t take very seriously, the media or the press in this country, who in the case of the Persian Gulf war were nothing more than unpaid employees of the Department of Defense,” he continued, “and who most of the time, most of the time functioned as kind of an unofficial public relations agency for the United States government. So I don’t listen to them, I don’t really believe in my country and I gotta tell you folks, I don’t get all choked up about yellow ribbons and American flags. I consider them to be symbols and I leave symbols to the symbol-minded.”

  Elder Scott Snoozefest : ''Paragraph 9 asks, ''What is the new teaching on the overlapping generation?''

  ''Yes...Paulina''

  Paulina: ''Since brother Samuel Herd from the Governing Body is behind me, I will give you the answer you all want to hear. Brother Splane taught us that the first group of ''this generation'' would witness and understand the events of 1914, and the second group would be those who were born before the last individuals in the first group died. We know that is not true. The Governing Body are once again changing the overlapping doctrine to throw more confusion and extend more time.''
