does the wt always carefully phrase sentences so as to never take blame?

by sowhatnow in

im recalling a time when i sat and circled words in a watchtower article, indicating strongly the fact that it is in fact the writters opinion.. however just the suggestion in the sentence these words are ignored.. for example.

it is our understanding.

we believe this to be the case.

I think that it's a skill they've been forced to finetune over the years due to one prophetic failure after another.

What Was Your Body of Elders Like?

friends

were they pretty much a good group of men?

we're they jerks?.

We had a few that were decent enough guys. But they were eventually phased out by a CO who was a total company man. He did some "housecleaning" in our circuit.

IT'S THE MOST WONDERFUL TIME OF THE YEAR!!!

by DATA-DOG in

just getting a jump on the holiday season!!

i figure that i will post this every year for discussion.

these were my observations when learning ttatt.

But the correct way of thinking is like this: Joseph and Mary went from Nazareth to Bethlehem. Then, after seeing the Magi, they left Bethlehem and went to Egypt, and after Herod died they went back to their point of origin, namely Nazareth. It's all bullshit.

I went ahead and fixed that for you. You're welcome.

New Star Wars movie trailer

by poopsiecakes in

the first trailer has been released!

true confession - i'm kind of a geek, always loved star wars and it gave me a bit of a lady boner.

anyone who knows the franchise is probably familiar with the character wedge antilles.

I really thought the franchise peaked with Empire. It was hands down the best one. There were some great moments in Jedi, but I agree that the Ewoks ruined it. I'm hoping JJ Abrams can actually breathe some new life into it, and not just make it about the visual effects.

Jehovah's Trumpet - Dangers of Superstition

by cofty in

the latest blast of "jehovah's trumpet" warns us about the irrational nature of common superstitions.... the article then goes on to provide counsel on the dangers of the domonic attacks that often result from unwisely purchasing second-hand objects.

the risk is demonstrated by recounting the real-life story of poor sister lemming and her new ministry bag.. genius satire as always!

please take some time to read the community comments.. .

Brilliant. It's like The Onion for apostates.

Greatest College Football Day

by DisArmed in

i don't read too much about sports on the forum.

one of the great things about being out of wally world is enjoying sports without judgement.

i love college football and this, to me is the greatest college football day!

keyser soze

I know it doesn't have the luster of Alabama-Auburn, but Wisconsin-Minnesota is the game I'm going to be watching today. Oldest rivalry in college football, and it's for the Big Ten west title. The first time in over 50 years that there's been that much at stake.

Go Badgers!

A day in the life of a Cop...my story. The truth.

by Witness 007 in

i work for a mental health unit with 2 police officers we deal with people who have drug and mental health issues.

at times over the last 10 years we have "taken down" some large drug affected men, mainly "ice" these days which is epidemic here, and let me tell you even with three of us it is a huge struggle.

sometimes back up is needed or mace spray which is aweful stuff!

keyser soze

My personal feeling is that even the majority of 'bad' cops start out with good intentions. I can't help but think of the scene in Crash when Matt Dillon says to his idealistic rookie partner "Wait until you've been on the job for twenty years".

Being a cop is such a thankless job, with low pay, and high risk. Combine that with the fact that they have to deal with the dregs of humanity on a regular basis. That's not a defense of those who become corrupted. But I have the utmost respect for the ones that don't.

Officer Wilson not indicted in killing of Michael Brown

by Simon in

after a thorough investigation and weighing of the evidence the grand jury has decided not to indict the officer.. the reaction so far seems as predicted - people refuse to accept that the result represents justice despite claims that is what they wanted.. there is now violence and vandalism, including gunshots.

let's hope the police contain the troublemakers.. .

Adrenaline/nerves also make things difficult

Precisely. It's one thing that can't be simulated at a shooting range, no matter how good of a shot you are.

I really wasn't going to comment on this thread, but citing a blog as a news source seems kind of desperate.
