Same stuff, another year.

is it going to become mainstream?.
will it become more cultish?.
will it splinter off and re-create itself?.
Thank you renegade, however I am not really a political advocate. BUT!!! I do feel that something more needs to be done to put the Fxxxing fear of anarchy into the WTS!!! Just how long do THEY think that they can continue to place fear into the hearts of their followers with DEATH and DOOM by a LOVING GOD??!!! This is absolute hypocrital BULL SHIT on their part!!!
SOMETHING HAS TO BE DONE and done soon to once and for all stifle their reign of guilt on unsuspecting, honest hearted people that are only looking for a way out of what they are experiencing in life.
I didn't mean to steal the original thread. I am enjoying a nice sunny sunday with Jack Daniels is all.

You have to remember one thing.....This religion started as a western religion. Western social issues have been the basis for their doctrines and teachings. The economic stature is what established the WTBTS financial holdings. Sure they may have drawn some $$$ from low income societies and third world countrie have benefited from the west. But, western cultures and accepted societal norms have influenced the WTS teachings as far as what they publish monthly.
Now that their published prophesies have failed them, they are now going to have to adopt new principles on which they can control the influx of foriegn deciples. Everything that the WTS preaches and teaches are based on the fadish trends or our, the west, activities.
Now, a new phenomenon has posed a greater threat than any foreign power or political despot could ever impose on the WTS. This new threat is THE INTERNET!!!!!! Information is available at the stroke the finger. How many times lately have you seen a new poster here from some remote part of the earth?? Inquiring minds WANT to know!!!
This is the trap, and it''s going to be the downfall of the WTS. How many times does the WTS condemn the internet? They are in mortal fear of what is posted on-line. This is the information freeway and it's getting faster all the time. All you have to do is advertise an internet site with a catchy phrase and BAM!!!! People are reading......
We here at JWD have the greatest opportunity as a group to do just THAT!!! Organize an effectual campaign to target them and they will come!!!!! HERE !!!

current email floater.. the perfect presentation to confuse householders .
greetings, i'm a member of the great crowd of other sheep rendering sacred service to the ancient of days in the earthly courtyard of the spiritual temple by following the example of the fine shepherd and engaging as a regular pioneer in preaching the good news of the kingdom with the sword of the spirit.. we are helping to warn those not familiar with the divine name that the second presence of the chief agent of life has begun, and soon the last days will reach their culmination when the scarlet-colored wild beast will turn on the harlot and destroy babylon the great, beginning the great tribulation which is climaxed by armageddon and the ruler of the world, now in tartarus, being thrown into the abyss for the rest of the last adam's millennial reign.. however, antitypical apostate jerusalem with her man of lawlessness class is supporting the false prophet and fighting against the anointed remnant of spiritual israel, the ambassadors of heavenly jerusalem, and their envoys, who are keeping themselves without spot from the world and who would rather go to sheol or hades than gehenna by rejecting the theocracy proclaimed by the faithful and discreet slave and the governing body of the spiritual paradise on earth today.. so, if you don't want to take these magazines, here's a program schedule for the kingdom hall, where you can come and learn more about new jerusalem, new heavens, new earth, new commandment, new birth, new song, new creation, new personality, and the new covenant.. thank you for your time...which is not to be confused with a time and times and half a time.

Do you suppose that a 9 year old getting baptised has any understanding AT ALL about this? And yet, he is now DEVOTING his life and aligning himself with the WTBTS?
NMG
the campaign continues: .
"calling all ex jws.god is as upset with the watchtower as you are!
he has therefore rejected that church and appointed the lords witnesses as the last true christian church to replace them.
What? No more teenage or younger baptisms? An age defined religion? Qualifying ages?
Just more crap folks. Line up for your throne, how much do CROWNS cost??

Gopher..... Did they clone me into you?? My but we think alike.

i am just finished with day 1 of a 2 day training seminar with the state chapter of madd...... sitting in a room of 30 people, fully one third have lost a first degree relative in a drunk driving collision.
the women i sat between had each lost a son..... one's son would have been 31 next week had he not been killed at 1 and the other lost her 18 year old son 2 years ago, an elite football player, honor roll student well liked and deeply mourned by his schoolmates, coaches and teachers..... killed by a serial offender who never finished highschool .... two other teens were seriously injured but survived.... he was sentenced to 26 years...... my state, the self-proclaimed beer and bratwurst capitol of the world, is dead last in the dots report on progress being made in reduction of alcohol related deaths from traffic collisions.
.
There's also alot of self denial when it comes to this issue. Ask yourself this rhetorical question; Have I ever been under the influence when I was driving??
Whenever I see someone pulled over, with all the booze placed on the roof of that car, all I can say is this, There but for the grace of someone, go I........
I don't drink and drive anymore. If I have had 2 or more drinks, my wife drives.
Life is too short my friends, especially the lives of innocent people.

seems likes i'm annoying others and hurting feelings on quite a few occassions when i post here.. oh, well.
when i first came here, i was a people-pleasing wimp.
i express my real opinions now and i'll be damned if i ever go back to silencing myself just to fit in.
Gopher had it right....But it's , alright now, I've learned my lesson well, you see, you can't please everyone, so you've got to please yourself. Ricky Nelson's GARDEN PARTY.
It seemed as though the people that had attended his Madison Square Concert had expected to see the old teenage Ricky. He performed some new material and that was not what they had expected. So, he faced himself and said, " he didn't really care what they thought or had expected. He just PLEASED HIMSELF.
Bravo to you also berylblue

i know, a far cry from the sexiest actor/actress thread, but hell; let's be a kid for a weekend for a bit!
it brings back fun, good memories !
so, when you were a kid, did you lean toward disney or warner brothers ?
I still get a kick out of it when I think about the Jetson's dog...Astro..He'd get into something and they'd call his name and the next thing you hear Astro say is, " RUHRO, RASTRO????". LMAO
