What did they say in 2000,"the end in near because the GB are old and are dying off but some will be around before the end."Well the old GB (BEE GEES) did die off only to be replaced to be younger BEE GEES.And time keeps marching on.

Oh yeah they will be shouting from their roof tops,"see the end is near we told you so yaddie yaddie."
Remember back in the 60'ties with the drugs and the flower people,VTMAN the end is near we told you so.Around and around she goes.

"at harvesttime,portions were to be left for the needy.it also ensured that they did not subsist on demoralizing handouts that required no effort on their part.in turn,gleaners could domomstrate their own thankfulness to jehovah for this provision by contributing a tenth of their gleanings at his place of worship.".
so does the gb of the wbts contribute their share of cleaning their rooms,cleaning their toilets,washing their clothes to show their thankfulness for the generous giving spirit of the brothers & sisters.to ensure that they (gb) do not subsist on demoralizing handouts and require no effort on their part.. bob.

some of you may have read my jw ex-wife's e-mail to my son last night after i posted it.
this is my son's e-mail response to his mothers initial e-mail.
i think i'll just let this speak for itself.
WOW,Brillant.Your son got it,now only if his Mom reads it and realizes that the WBTS/GB is a mind controlling Org.
Actually this email should be QFR "Is it proper for a mother to chastize a son via email?"
Bob
first of all- a little history.
my ex-wife a fanatic jw seems to be in a pissing match ( not of my choosing ) with me over trying to get my son back into the jw cult.
he's 25, been out of the witnesses since 17 and he is very happy with his life .he has a great girlfriend, he enjoys gardening growing his own vegetables and he is a performing singer/guitarist now writing songs and performing in front of hundreds of people .
Flipper
This is a totally brain washed MOM.She says "your way of life....deep peace and contentment" Well yeah, but yours is a slave to the wbts.
Also GB uses you as their puppet in their evil wicked system of things but you don't see it,they blinded you with their propanganda.
"There is not much time left"Where have we heard that one before.How many JW are around today since that statement was made.Read your history lady MOM Flipper.
When you say "Heavenly Father" You really mean the GB.

i remember the whole process of selecting a host city for australias last international convention.
the australian bethel played the nsw government against the victorian.
it was so similar to choosing an olympic city and the big boys from bethel knew how to play the game.
Yes conventions are BIG BIG money makers for the WBTS.That is why they demand that you stay in the hotels on their list.Not to help the poor JW but to make a profit.I was told that they get free room per gratis because of the many delagates.However,they select Brothers who they can trust(SUCKER) to paid the full amount to the WBTS--(make cheque payable to --Watch Tower).That my friend is free room for the WBTS but big dollars for the suckers.They will tell you that you would be paying for the rooms anyways.
My point give those rooms to the poor who are financially strapped.

Thanks Blondie
God's Rulership over Israel.............Q9 "Gov't in the hands of humans failed to bring permanent good results"
So God's rulership over Israel failed to bring permanent results.Do not give me the BS that it was Israel fault.You said God was the ruler and he failed.Put the blame where it belongs. Human rulership does a good job if it wasn't for God's interference.

if all jw are so holy and righteous,why do 70,000 to 100,000 get disfellowshipped each year?
in 10 years,that would be 700,000 to 1,000,000.df for causing sectarian divisions,misleading,treating lightly the preaching work,rejecting god's representatives(gb) and his visible org.so what are they going to do to these df'er.. b.

per c black np "the roman catholic church flourhes as an organization (as opposed to a faith) only because it is a dictatorship.once elevated,the pope can speak with the authority of nearly 2,000 years,a fairly clear succession of about 270 predecessors,and the cononical jurisdiction to interpret all text and traditions and impose his will on the clergy.those who disagree are free to dissent within the church,lapse or apostacize(such as martin luther and henry vlll).".
reminds me of some other religion except for one thing.. b.
