It was sitting on a table for the public with magazines like Field and Stream.
So I picked it up and took it to the bathroom.
I ripped it to shreds.
I dropped it in the toilet.
I urinated on it.
Then I flushed it down.
I'm not gonna lie, it felt great!

i used to think how great it would be if the wt finally made long overdue changes.
higher education would no longer be frowned upon.
men could have beards.
I do have a certain amount of respect for the Worldwide Church of God for admitting they were wrong. My opinion of the GB would go up a notch if they did likewise. That would put them at notch one. Interesting discussion here: http://www.jwstruggle.com/2011/09/jws-and-the-worldwide-church-of-god/

They've painted themselves into a corner. So we see them ramp up the control on the inside while outwardly trying to appeal to the modern public.

Exactly! While it badly needs to reform... it would crumble. But as it is it's stagnant. It smells of death, as aging congregations lose elderly members to the inevitable.

I used to think how great it would be if the WT finally made long overdue changes. Higher education would no longer be frowned upon. Men could have beards. Celebrating holidays and accepting blood transfusions would be conscience matters. Neckties would be optional for brothers, and sisters wouldn't have to only wear skirts. The songs could even have a peppy backbeat. Wouldn't that be great?
Yes it would. Except that all of these things are already being done in other religions- and being done better. What would stop JWs from leaving the WT completely and going to the church of their choice?
Really the only thing that could keep everyone from straying off would be familiarity with each other. People who grew up together and spent a lot of time together out in service. But I think we all know that most would realize how shallow a love they actually have for the mentally unbalanced people they often only tolerated because they had to.
And of course, many of us after examining the WT went on to examine religion in general... and found it all to be nonsense. So you tell me- could the WT ever successfully be reformed?
after the 1975 "we did not say point blank armaggeddon was coming we only suggested it might come" fiasco what is the new date jws are "hinting" at for armaggeddon?
i know now they do not point to any specific date but hint that maybe it might occur such as before 2000 the preaching work will be finished.
this is a suggestion not a prediction so they can wiggle out of this one.
The feeling I get is that most JWs believe (even if they won't say it) that Armageddon will come in October of this year. And when that doesn't happen they will look to 2034.
what did he say?
some of you already know that i am deaf.

Here's a video of one of Stephen Lett's regional assembly talks:

I have a couple of inlaws who are the superpioneer type and pull this crap. That scripture about the Pharisees praying to be seen nails it for me. Gag alert!

Sure a shortened video is a good idea. But let's not be too harsh here. I enjoyed watching this myself and felt like some good points were made.
