in the 10/15 watchtower study edition on pg.
12 is the article " what kind of spirit do you show ?
" right away this article starts drawing the line of demarcation in the sand between who has the right to make decisions within jehovah's witnesses and who does not have the right to do so.
Flipper! Thanks for kicking the GB in the cahoonas
-Older men(who) are not perfect-SO
-Elders may make mistakes-SO
Over look certain minor failing-YES
Most members overlook minor errors, that is a given.
However,most members cannot overlook the blatant hypocrisy of some elders.
So don't blame the members because you are short of honest elders.

It makes me wonder,to make a change in the same year if they are in some financial difficulty or are afraid of losing their assets,lawsuit,etc.
they are leaving a path of destruction and pain without a single pang of conscience and no one is sure what to do about it.. they are powerfully manipulative, intimidating,aggressive and deceptive.. they have no empathy or remorse care only about themselves.. the 7m sheep are victims and have a hard time seeing what really goes on.. history tells us what the gestapo did.. history tells us what psychopaths do.. they are saying they are god obey us or else we give you the boot.. scary stuff.

History tells us what the Gestapo did.

SCARY STUFF
theres a story in the ny daily news today that says this jw is homeless and was denied shelter after having a brief conversation with the woman who helped him with his application after he mentioned he was a jw.
her reasoning of why she denied his application was that she thought he would go door to door in the 45-unit facility!
i myself find that hilarious, he just mightve done that to get his time in!
Now that there is a lawsuit and the wbts see $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ they will help him.
while i am waiting for him to answer my question.
i thought i would ask of him and any other jw's.
we are supposed to have the truth, the bible is all scripture is inspired and benefitical for teaching, reproving, and setting things straight.
You should never listen or read their propaganda.
As an Example Nov 2012 awake p28 understanding the Bible:They quote 6 scripture about the dead.
With the following description"The Bible teaches the dead are actually dead.They are not alive in
heaven or somewhere else but are asleep.HENCE,THEY CANNOT PRAISE GOD OR EVEN THINK."
So by their logic the 144,000 are dead, are actually dead,they cannot even think.
So there you have it.They 144,000 cannot give any instruction to the anointed on earth,THEY ARE DEAD
ARE ACTUALLY DEAD.
i recently attended the second day of the 2 day assembly for safeguarding your mind.
the first talk was entitled "feed your mind at jehovah's table".
the first portion of this talk specifically targeted apostates warning members to not listen to them "even if they were once strong in the truth or had great responsiblity in the congregation".
"Safeguard Your Mind" I immediately thought of how they will brainwash the mind of the sheep by their propaganda.
we had our circuit assembly last weekend and this was one of the needs of the circuit.
one of the main points was mid week meeting attendance.
apparently the attendance is very low.
Right on, low attendance.About family worship night,I for one could not figure out why they called it
a loving provision for the faithful slave.I believe you should worship God every day and read the bible
every day.Not by some rule of some men in N.Y.
our friend, oompa, has passed away.
just recieved the news a couple of hours ago, and have almost no details.
it happened today or yesterday, he took his own life.
So sorry,RIP
I hate what religion does.
undercover, i was interested in your last post and how you felt that believing in god is a delusion.
i'm not interested in any debates over it but i saw you have been here for 10 years!
that's some stay!
Because we have a brain.
All through life we all try different things.Like Amway, only to find it's a scam.
Some are born into the R.C. and find how bad it is, so they try J.W. only to find how bad it is.
THose born in J.W. land find how bad it is and try something else.We all try different jobs.some we like
others we hate but do it because it puts food on the table.That's life.
