  Very good review ."the real purpose in life is not believing what bs the fds/gb say".Q5 they always focus on some grumppy rich dude that is never happy.There are 10 of millions of people that are well off and very happy,however they are not one of Jehovah's Witnesses.They fds/gb always say materialism is bad, riches is bad,well ask the 14 million children under 5 years that go hungary and over 5 million of those starve to death each year. God's kingdom will solve man's problems,however for over two thousands years is not soon.Man has to work,grow food and try his best to help the poor.Preaching and giving useless mags/books is just wasting valuable resources.I have more to say about the so called God's kingdom but at another time.

  If god give humans freedom,then why do they need to preach from d-to-d for their salvation? If it's a command than you don't have freedom.Also I think the directive not to eat of the apple was just that, because that apple was poison and had nothing to do with rulership or svereignty.Why put the temptation right in the middle of the garden where they could see every day.It's like a mother putting a jar of cookies in the middle of the table and telling her children not to eat any.dumb,crazy idea.

  PS If it's such an ugent lifesaving work, than why is Sam hell don't they use modern means to get this message out.When a hurricane or a tornado is about to hit what does the gov't do.Oh,they send all their public people door to door to warn everybody because it the most effective way.Those that aren't home get a tract reminder that the storm will hit in a few hours and they have to leave right away.Why do those b$$#%^ tell their r&f to have a battery operated RADIO so they can listen in case of an emergency. Also their propaganda could be broadcast in countries where they are band w/o presecution.

  NEED HELP WITH 'NEW LIGHT' & THE GENERATION DOCTRINE

  by Mary in

  2. beliefs

  i was talking to gumby today and he told me that one elder that he knows said: "...he heard a gb mention of some new light about the "generation".

  he said the gb member said they now believe that scripture applied to only the annointed...".

  have we had any discussions on jwd about this?

  I wonder about the "millions now living will not die" to mean the same what Jesus said to the evil doer and paradise.

  Career JW's and WTBTS Wellfare(sp)?

  by oneairhead in

  2. friends

  just a thought.....what if a career jw were to do everything that the borg told him to the letter?

  for example, pioneer then get a job as a janitor at night.

  lets say that they do this until retirement with no retirement benefits because they didn't work full time .

  I believe their latest wt/a has something about how jw are not like the world when it comes to money.They don't gamble,drink,waste money on immortal movies,drugs,parties,etc,etc.Oh,yeah the new system is just around the corner,oh,so close,soon ,any minute.Store up treasures in heaven where no one can steal your hard earn salvation. Work hard going from door to door.They don't waste money on fancy trips,sports,latest fads.

  hi, posting on another thread, i asked this question.

  i would like to know - what do they do with the 'old light' books?

  does it not occur to them that they have a pile of books that they are not allowed to read?

  They use old books for study sessions to keep r&f busy.Ex.The old Revelation book 1988 edition with a new 2006 printing of the book with a whole slew of changes.p159 para.18 "The Finished Mystery book of 1917.In time,though,this book proved to be unsatisfactory as an explanation of Revelation."Than on p165 para.16 GET THIS...."In 1917 the Bible Students published The Finished Mystery, a powerful commentary on Revelation and Ezekiel."Unbelieveable.I don't know what happened the to light.Maybe a powerful unsatisfactory commentary on Revelation.

  our jw friend,aleman, replied my post at "can you say satan" with a pm.. "the jw of today is not like the one in 1975 or 1915 or 1907. this is because of trial and error that they .

  they are solders too, of the spiritual kind where they have much advanced .

  Total control and $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ .Awake blessed by who?More rags printed.Can't they add at wbts.Take the total printed bi-monthly vs the once a month issue.If the fds/gb say 1+1=3,the r&f will say"boy aren't the fds/gb smart and giving us proper food at the proper time".We must be really close the to end.

  next week's service meeting is gonna be a doozy.

  after the local announcements there is going to be a 15-minute talk by an elder based on the november 1, 2007, watchtower, pages 17-21. .

  somebody with the resources to do it really ought to scan the article and post it as a pdf, it's hilarious, frightening and nauseating all at once.

  What a BIG hypocrite.Why do they sent people to university to get a law degree.Oh,he wouldn't qualify to go to court and defend WBTS money.Look at past KM when they want and need qualified people to work at Bethel,ie Doctors.Lawyers,Engineers,Computer programmers,etc,etc.ALL HIGHLY EDUCATED.

  The illustration about the OCD attempted suicide.That illustration was given at a CA and the sickos burst out in laughter.I said to myself, how sad you people to laugh at someones handicap.So sad,so sad.
