GB disassociates itself!!

by lulu in

dear brothers:

as you have admitted, the watch tower bible & tract society did join the united nations as a non government organization in 1992 ending in 2001, and according to the following watch tower this means that by their own actions they disassociated them selves from jehovahs organization which means that we must treat them like disfellowshiped ones.

in other words they are no longer jehovahs witnesses or have any right to that name.

If becoming a member is not what is important, but the personal acts that follow that determines ones neutrality, why did so many brothers and sisters die in Malawie because the WTS would not allow them join a single party system?

Should they not been allowed to buy join the membership and then do nothing to support it when that time came when called to show that support by some action?

Using your logic with the WT membership with the UN, it would apear that the WTS has quite a bit of BLOOD on her hands.

I love the one where Homer becomes a Chiopractor by pushing people backwards over trash cans. The Chiopractors try and get him put out of buisness and Homer says: "How Ironic, isn't that what the medical doctors tried to do to you guys."

Not sure if belly buttons are banned from the board...

What New Light Are You Talking About?

andyman stated in another thread:this got me thinking about the change in the 1914 generation.

i remember how this was a very important point when i was studying back in the late 80's.

it was explained to me over and over that this system would defenitly end before the generation of 1914 passed away.

BeelzeDub

IronGland: You said the WTS said something as follows:

"some of the brothers have tried to tie the end of this system with the length of certain generations and we would bring a heart of wisdom into the matter by not speculating, blah blah blah"

I did not see this in any of the articles posted in this thread so far. I did see where they said in the QFR "some Christains...." but it looked like they were refering to themeselves as they compared it to Jesus own deciples wanting to know when, so it looked to me more like justification for them instead of pointing blame at others.

If there is a quote that specificly mades reference to "brothers" not "speculating" I would be interested in seeing that.

Hamburger - fluff time

by larc in

jw
friends

i have been very busy translating the dead sea scrolls and finding out how to explain to everyone what is the meaning of life, so i feel a need to take a break from my ponderous works to ask all of you a pregnant question, to wit, what is your favorite dish that is mainly comprised of hamburger, or contains hamburger as a major ingredient?

i do request that you only provide one, and only one selection.

(those who disobey this rule will be disfellowshipped and will not get a christmas present from me this year, even if i promised you one.

The Watchtower - Hustling Pocket Change

by metatron in

jw
friends

apparently, at some assembly halls they are removing the pay phones and replacing them with their own phone lines - with a contribution box next to it.. you may already know about district assemblies where they put 'out of order' signs.

on working vending machines to prevent the rank and file from using them.. how much money do they expect to make from this?

they are trying to hustle pocket change!.

BeelzeDub

I too have noticed the "out of order" signs on vending machines.

Also in my local there are two hotels next to the convention center who set up food stands out side and on their own hotel property during the lunch hour to sell food and drink. I found it to be very convienient to the alternative of running to a store in the morning and packing lunch for a family of 5.

For the past several years they started giving talks prior to the convention that we should not buy food from these vendors.

What difference does it make if I buy my food from a Marriott or A&P ?

The WTS does not want to provide food service, tell me I am on my own and then tell me where not to buy the food. What are they going to do next, lock the doors at lunch so no one can go outside?

Is there something at most people know that I dont

by gilwarrior in

everytime i get mad over something, all my feelings just come out.

today, i had a really bad day.

(if you read my last post, you know what i am talking about.

BeelzeDub

I also have trouble making new friends, even when I was a JW.

Check out some internet dating sites like match.com These are other people looking to meet new people too. You will have more dates than you know what to do with. You will be able to meet new people in the comfort of your own home and then go out if it looks like you have something in comon.

It worked for me.... this is what I know.

Best wishes, I may be coming to Vegas next year for a confrence, if I do I will lookyou up before I come.

Yeru,

Sorry to hear about your split. I had experienced many of the same things with my ex wife, until after 18 years of marriage we split. I was crushed when we split up, but I can say after 2 years I am happier even though I wish it had never happened.

Best wishes to you and your family.
