now their church is so splintered it is hardly recognizable anymore anywhere.. most of these are amazingly similar to those necessary by the wts, of which they also will never apologize for either.. interesting, how a very strong 'end-times' religion can go down eventually.. .
.
I think apologies makes sense but taking responsibilty means huge lawsuits....
such as the blood issue and pedofile issue... self-preservation trumps everything it seems , sad but true
a very intesting lists of apologies... mainly summed up with the word overbearing
This one really jumped out at me because it was control of thinking and freedom that created all...
We apologize for condemning you by implying that free speech and self-esteem are concepts inspired by the Devil.
note the activity topology of spiritually "gifted" faithful religiously pure network of individual christians sustaining the therapeia (qerapeiavhousehold for spiritual cure) lu 12:42under the leadership of jesus in heaven.
all accomplished by autonomous ecclesia without central control from jerusalem.
this is the model antecedent for today's class of individual "faithful discreet" slaves.
Eden ....I agree the points you made are beyond question & common sense logic
because of "religious" differences, she now wants me to move out and "separate"...i said what biblical grounds does she have for her request?.
she couldnt respond...she said she'd rather be beaten up by me than have an "apostate" in the house.... this org definitely encourages conditional love.... i don't know what to do...by the way, we dont have children.

something happened recently by the wts.
that doesn't rarely often and that is the wts.
executive editors apologizing for the organization's past mistakes and proclamations.
"verbal posturings of self justification "....... that's about it in a nut shell
phizzy .. you're just got to know all your "tenses'
How the hell did that happen ?.. not a good question
answer this question .. you know it's not a good time to chat when......
i've been playing around with wt statistics recently, helped by the great data available on jwfacts.com.
i wanted to share somehting with the community, maybe you've seen something like this before.. continuing the trend of decline seen during the last 30 years, i was able to extrapolate the year when wt growth might finally end.
if trends continue, we may only have to wait about 8 more years, 9 years to see it reported if the wt decides to report it at all, to see publisher growth end and possibly reverse.. the graph shows the annual growth rate of average publishers during the last 31 years.
Then when we get negative growth it will be "Bible prophesy is being fulfilled" -
"The love of the greater number will cool off"............
War is a sign , the sifting work is a sign, great ingathering is a sign and of course peace is a sign of the nearness of the end .
example.....
Thanks to Gorbachev's 'glasnost' policy a new period of relaxation between the great powers has developed. A number of protracted wars have ended, the dictatorships in Eastern Europe are falling, and important steps have been taken in the negotiations on peace and disarmament.
According to the Society, such a proclamation will be "the signal for God to move into action", yes, "an unmistakable signal that world destruction is imminent." - Awake!, April 8; 1988, page 14; "True Peace and Security - How Can You Find It?" (1986), page 85.
last week a sister in my new hall made the following comment,.
"a brother once told me that it is better to be wrong with the organization, than to be right and be on your own without the organization.".
wow.
Do not become unevenly yoked"
A person applied this to within the congregation to whom 'weren't spiritual enough' or didn't have some magnificent spiritual goals in life."
