Isn't there a movie about that? The Arrival, I think. These aliens are wearing human-looking body suits and are trying to accelerate global warming by pumping green house gases into the air from these factories in Mexico.

erandir, everytime I see your name, I see a backwards spelled word
Ridnare? What the heck is that, then?
Actually, my name is elvish for "Lonely Wanderer" or a little more Americanized: "Lone Ranger"
I am a Tolkien nerd and made the name for a role-playing game I used to play back in college. I use it now because it is very unique, and I don't have a problem joining new forums and finding my favorite name taken already. I have found recently that someone stole my name and old role-playing persona and is using it for some new role-playing games. They even went so far as to write up a story version of some of the transcripts from the old Elendor game I used to play. Oh well. I'm a legend now, I guess. I'm google-famous, too!
Ok...that's officially too much information.

This whole pedophile thing could be the next thing that causes a decline in membership...similar to the failed 1975 expectations and the 1990's "generation" thing.
I can just hear the loyal dubs now:
"They just used the child abuse as an excuse to leave."
"They never really loved Jehovah at all."
Or my personal favorite, uttered by one particular self-righteous hypocrit on a past occasion: "They never really had the truth to begin with."

17. Satan and his followers will soon come against Jehovah's worshippers in an attempt to stamp
them out. (Ezekiel 38: 14-23) That will be part of what Jesus called the "great tribulation such as
has not occurred since the world's beginning until now, no, nor will occur again." (Matthew 24:21)
Will Satan's attack succeed? No. God's Word assures us, "Jehovah is a lover of justice, and he
will not leave his loyal ones. To time indefinite they will certainly be guarded; but as for the offspring
of the wicked ones, they will indeed be cut off. The righteous themselves will possess the earth,
and they will reside forever upon it."- Psalm 37:28, 29.Does it seem like the GB knows what is coming and is trying to put a different spin on it? All the people leaving the organization...realizing the truth about the "truth?" People are learning from the internet about all the wrong-doings and mistakes and false prophecies that the FDS has done in the past and present. They are losing a lot of control and are sounding desperate. So when the JW's have another mass exodus like back in 1975, they'll just blame Satan and go on.

"New light"...
by Awakened07 inthis won't be a long-winded post; just a "quickie", and mostly meant for those still active:.
i find it odd that jehovah's witnesses don't find anything odd about how 'new light' is distributed.
i mean - if this new light comes from jehovah god himself, the creator of the universe and everything in it, wouldn't it be fair to say that it would happen more like in this story:.

I think that the judgement on the w/t is yet to come.
Yeah...too bad they'll view it as persecution from Satan and his followers, as that article in the Aug 15th WT about justice mentions.
There is a new thread about that:

Look...flip-flopping is NOT new light. It is just the GB being wrong and then changing their minds. They don't have any special link to Jehovah or any such thing.
Was the old Jewish system like that in the bible? Did Moses pass on the ten commandments and the myriad of other lesser laws and then 50 or 100 years later change some of them or decide some of them were just plain wrong? And how about the prophets...of the ones recorded in the bible where it tells what they said and then what happened, did any of them end up being wrong? I'm not arguing the bible's authenticity here, btw. I'm just saying that if the FDS is saying they are Jehovah's modern-day organization and use bible examples to prove it, how does their track record compare?
And that excuse about God using imperfect men simply doesn't cut it. He supposedly used imperfect men and women back in ancient Israel, and he got some amazing results, if the accounts are true. What about today? Is he using complete idiots, then? Does that explain it?
The witnesses did manage to get one thing right years ago. Religion is a racket and a snare.

How the WT Study is Used by the Governing Body
by AllTimeJeff innow that i have been out of the borg for a while, it has occurred to me that one of the biggest weapons they use to keep everyone indoctrinated is the watchtower study.. elders are told that the wt study is the primary way that the faithful and discreet slave feeds the flock of god today.
it is easily the most formulatic.. consider, the content is 100% controlled.
(i would also add, made up fiction.

I forgot to add that, but a letter to the elders went out a couple of months ago that basically said all WT Conductors have to do it the same way
Could anyone scan or copy or even paraphrase that letter? I'd like more details on that.
I never liked the way our WT conductor handled the meeting. He'd comment more than everyone else combined, it seemed. He'd also have a few people picked out ahead of time with specific paragraphs in mind. He would hand out printouts before the meeting to three or four people so that he'd get the specific answer he wanted for certain key paragraphs. He said it was supposedly to help new ones comment, but he'd give them to his wife and daugther, too. What a control freak.

As far as I can tell, ip sec isn't Latin.
Google returns web pages about IP Security/Internet protocol security.
So you like privacy online, then?

seven million strong
Is this even near an accurate number? Is the Org fluffing these numbers?There are 6.7 million publishers, so it is not too fluffed.
sort of like that 1 billion hours spent in field service is really maybe half a billion, if that. Factor in the over-estimating, the taking a door and then driving 2 hours to the territory, those who report fake time, all the "creative" pioneers, and all the witnesses counting time for things like quick builds and public talks (these are NOT field service, imo).
