Why don't they outsourse the printing to India.They gave up farming because they could buy food cheaper then what their slave could produce.ALL about $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$.

at the wednesday night ministry school meeting, a letter from the society was read announcing that wtbts paperbacked publications will begin to be laminated.
according to the letter, this "will save approximately 2 million dollars per year," "lengthen the life of the publications," and "increase the attractiveness" of the publications.. so there's that.. .
also, will someone please explain to me why 85% of the congregation started smiling and nodding at this.. i sometimes think that headquarters could send the congregations boxes of turds and the jws would act like it was the best thing ever..

so they dropped te bookstudy to help save gas right?
bull.
shit.
They canned the bookstudy because of poor.low embarrassing attendance.

it was sent by a rampant, serial-emailing, hardcore jw.
i didn't see copies on a half-assed 1-minute search.
so sorry if this is a duplicate post.. should be called "guided by voices" in my opinion as a subtle truism and tribute to a nifty band.. -- not attending it.
Notice all the announcements:You must make your cheque payable to the......or you can make a cash donation,you can sell you house and donate the proceeds to,you can make a will,if you won the lottery,don't waste you money on higher education send ALL the money to wbts.
We are not like all other religions who scam people and always ask for money..liars.

for those of you that have survived and come through the great tribulation of having been a member of the wts and still have a faith in god, how do you now interpret the lords prayer?.
just what do you think jesus meant when he said "thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven"?.
What is God's will in heaven for heaven's sake.Who are we to tell the Big guy what to do.Look Billions of billions have been telling him for 2000 years.It's about time we send him some hearing aids. Maybe on the next space shuttle.Because obviously his hearing is shot.Maybe things are worse in heaven than on Earth,so we better stop this nosense of praying for something that we will regret.

i've commented offhandedly about this subject a number of times in the past, but it is worth discussing because it speaks volumes about the jw religion and the cognitive dissonance that is endemic to it.. dubs are never satisified with their "current light.
" they weren't satisfied four decades ago when i was active, and they are not satisified now.
they won't come out and say that of course, but we all know it is true.
You are correct the wbts is false in it's reasoning.In the June 1/08 wt they ask "Does it matter how we worship God? We may ask ourselves:What kind of worship does God approve?How can I draw close to God?And what should I personally do to worship God in an acceptable way?"Jw are happy to deceive you.
You see there is nothing in those questions about Jesus,why he came, why he died for us sinners.

at the end of april,2008 the gb/fds( god's spokesperson/ channel of communication) cancelled/deleted one meeting where we are to gather,incite and love one another.. the bible,god's holy word at hebrews 10:24,25 let us consider one another to incite to love and fine works not forsaking the gathering of ourselves,as some have the custom,but encouraging one another,and all the more so as you should behold the day drawing near.. so the gd/fds says we do not have to gather together.do not have to incite to love.we have the custom of forsaking one another.the day in not near.. yet god's word says the exact opposite.. bob.
ps:when the annoucement was made the r&f said "was that not wonderful of the gb/fds of this new provision".sorry i'am confused who is right god or the gb/fds..

So the GD/FDS says we DO NOT have to gather together.DO NOT have to incite to love.We have the custom of forsaking one another.The DAY in not near.
Yet God's word says the exact opposite.

this topic, i'm sure, has been discussed many times, but today i am really contemplating the concept of god.. i remember vividly the old testament; the israelites slaughtering everyone in their path, men, women and children at god's direction at jericho, leaving no one alive.
i remember thinking then as a child how cruel that was.
there are many other examples.. then reading the news today i read a section in the world news about india.
Could it be a time factor. God went on a vacation and let mankind to take care of the Earth and has not returned.Much like parents go on vacation and have the children take care of the home.Well you know what happens if their are teenagers,they will invit all their friends over and destroy the house.However in the OT God should of been tried for his criminal acts.No one has the right to kill their children just because they are their parents.

an elder mentioned yesterday in casual conversation how the end must be close 'because this is the first time in human history that a black man will probably be president of the us.
all other forms of government have had their day, now that a black man will be president, the angels, mankind and satan cannot claim that jehovah didn't give every possible chance for humans to make it without his rulership'.
almost verbatim!
He meant a Black President in the USA was going to be Armegdeon for the people of the USA.

q: what's it like to be satan?.
a: it sucks, man.
i get blamed for everything that goes wrong.. q: you sound bitter.. a: what are you?
Farkel,can you ask Satan if he lied to JayCee about promising him all the Kingdoms of the World.He, Satan did not own or have all the Kingdoms, he just said he did.You know a lier can promise you anything and many will believe it.Much like GB/FDS say the end is near and all J.W. a few bricks short of a full load believe it.
