  If a GB member said something that wasn't ever in PRINT we would not

  officially believe it unless it was in a wtbts publication.

  being printed in a publication is what makes it official.

  at bethel we heard my 'special lectures', they could have been given a a gb member or some other high ranking member.

  Dear Friends,

  Re: the above and research I've done and posted already [would have to look up threads and posts]: Ray Franz has stated that very few of the GB are writers, but their "approval" [which is likely little more than a cursory overview of all that ends up in diverse publications] gives a FDS "flavor" to the articles. The R&F have no idea that many of the submissions are from women. Too bad Barbara Anderson did not write more than she had! And that letter from the Society, written to Bill Cetnar's sister-in-law Phyllis, about restraining her pet cat so that it would not eat unbled mice. Is the SD letter she received the "flavor" of the GB? Are we DFable if an WT fink sees our kitties eating mice that haven't been properly bled?

  Dear Diary,

  Do you know the Ferryman? I was told by HS that he needs to be paid. Is he aka the Piper? Last night when I couldn't find you and I thought my life was over, I ran into Hil and he was telling me how some of us have had our vision stolen. So very true! Our creative urges were deemed as unworthy and unnecessary re: the more important "pre'dication de la bonne nouvelle" - the preaching work! All of us were stirred into the huge "melting pot" of WTS life. The FDS stifled our collective voice. WE HAVE ASSIMILATED YOU! I need to talk to him some more.

  The need for a GB or FD slave?

  by avidbiblereader in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the whole teaching of needing a fd slave hangs on one scripture that really isn't that clear; however in looking at the scriptures how would you/they explain the texts below from the bible, whether they would classify you as a domestic or fellow anointed or other sheep?

  hebrews 8:10-12 .

  10for this is the covenant that i shall covenant with the house of israel after those days, says jehovah.

  Genuine Christianity: How is it Truly Displayed?

  Be warm and well fed. Our former mind-set seems to have been that we needed to give the householder the fishing pole rather than the immediate meal of a cooked fish. Pardon the mixed-metaphor, but the very real "danger" of his becoming a "rice Christian." We want him to work for the 'food that does not perish.' Giving him an actual meal in his time of real hunger would be an invitation to dependency and sloth. We as true ministers of the Word know what is in the householder's best interests and look to the FDS to direct our every thought and deed. No money to beggars as they most certainly will spend it on booze. Do not intervene if, on the street, you see a poor old man being beaten mercilessly by thugs. That would be like pulling on the ears of a dog. Search out a phone booth and do call the police... you have done all that you could possibly do. Hurry on now to the KH - you are already late. I have no need of a conscience, because for every possible situation that could arise in day-to-day life, the FDS has supplied a ready solution as to how I might avoid contamination from all those worldly Samaritans.

  Dear Diary,

  I've been hunting high and low for you the last 24 hours - where'd you slip away to? Anyway, I've found you! So much to tell you, 'specially about STAR TREK: FIRST CONTACT. My first viewing. "Resistance is futile!" ... "Reports of my assimilation have been greatly exaggerated!" ... "Wasn't it enought that you assimilated me and that I had to give myself freely to the Borg?" ... "Believing oneself to be perfect is often the sign of a delusional mind." DD - why does all this sound so familiar? Where have I been the last 40 years? And why is #1 called Will Riker? William Riker was the founder and spiritual "Father" of Holy City, CA that we were discussing the other day... Coincidence?
  Well, I found you! Gotta find my bored friends who've been missing the last 24...........

  Dear Diary,

  Finished 2nd cuppa for the morn. Tchaikovsky's Piano Concerto, number 1, B flat minor, opus 23, Harvey LeVan Cliburn - just finished. 10:00 a.m. What an exciting time, his winning First Prize in the Soviet Union - was it 1957, DD? Ticker-tape parade in NYC. Electrifying performance. Have a tape of him playing it. Hittin' the books today. Research. Have you heard the WORK's over, Dear Diary? But how will the R&F remain under control? And the news of gas leaks everywhere? Have to check that out. Need to see how the 6 babes are doing - can you fathom the reason for leaking to the media that the parents are JWs? A ploy to get outside help and out from the clutches of Mommie Dearest? Trying to getta grasp of all I've read so far. Keep me posted, DD, if you and your comrades in print run into anything new ... backinnabit.......

  Dear Diary,

  It's 5:30 a.m. and down to 60 degrees inside an' if I really wanted a wake-up call I'd go outside and see if it hit freezin.......... Oh man! 25 degrees! Let a faucet trickle all night. About 15 some years ago - do you remember, DD? - entire state froze. Rain puddles iced over 10 days solid. Need come coffee. Fresh pot toady...today. Be back and tell you my plans. C.P.E. Bach's Fourth Hamburg(?) Symphony playing on NPR. Missed "Nessun Dorma" from conclusion of "Turandot" last night - a fave. Ping, Pang, Pong - Sean said were the comic relief in an otherwise heavy-duty tale. I gotta see if I can get a CD of it. Wish I could cash in my mass of CDs at the bank. Coffee - what is your favorite? Unleaded'll do nicely, thank you very much. Back soon, Dear Diary...Trumpet Overture from "The Indian Queen," by Henry Purcell started. A family(?) of four outstanding trumpet players in his day; alota scores produced for trumpet due to huge popularity..... Coffee! Winton Marsalis performed, English Chamber Orchestra. "The Hebrides Overture" by Felix M. Bartoldy, really got seasick. Fingal's Cave aka. I really need to go.....

  Dear Diary,

  I had to turn off "Nemesis" and come back to you, DD. Jean-Luc Picard is the obvious philanthropic - even philandroidopic - hero of the flick. But his younger, evil-twin clone is the very antithesis of all that is good and pure and righteous! Oh, at such a time as this, I do get nostalgic for when I was with my sweetie Ann, back in the Islands. I so miss Ann 'n tropics! Some day I'll get back there, but I don't Know If Morrow it'll be or far into the future. What is it I do do, Dear Diary, when destiny doesn't deal delightfully during depressing downturns? Good night, sweet prints!

  Dear Diary,

  Feel better now - and notatal cross! Sorry, DD, about that little episode. I really do feel I have a life, and I'm sharing it with you. When so much that was near and dear has been ripped away, the small, otherwise unrecognized details of daily life at once take on an entirely new meaning. You understand, don't you, Dear Diary? You are wise. You are old. You remember dear old Antoine, don't you? He once told me - if only I could remember his very words ------ oh, yes! ------ L'essentiel est invisible aux yeux; on ne voit qu'avec le coeur. I wish I could locate his letter. Must have gotten lost on the airmail night flight. The eyes cannot see what is important; only with the heart may one see. My life is at a turning point, but I have by bearings and I'm moving forward. You will stay with me, won't you, Dear Diary?
