  we haven't squeezed the last drop out of the special announcement

  by Hortensia in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  it has a lot to do with their devious minds (the gb).

  as an old jw lady used to say about the people in the world "their minds are as twisted as their streets "(said with a little vicious twist to the words.

  ) the gb is so used to manipulation, and slanting, and twisting things to appear in the best light, they just couldn't bring themselves to say the simplest thing: we know life is busier nowadays and it's hard to get to meetings, so we'll cut down on the meetings so you have more time for your family and other needs.

  If you're saying that GW is responsible for the rise in gas then you might as well say the devil .I'm going to have to give them cudos on that one.

  I think it really strange that they would clap over the situation of financial hardship being the reason of reduced meeting time .It must be a pavlov dog type reaction after years of clapping over mundane things such as congregation growth . WOW , I wouldn't have believed it . I agree that the end being close you would expect them to harp on staying close to the org. with more meetings . Maybe even build a compound in south america to get away from it all ......... well , we know what happened there last time.

  So what's your argument about , the trinity VRS. some type of unity ? The WTBTS claims it is restoring the bible that was already tampered with , since you don't have the original documents to argue with then it's pretty pointless. The WTBTS is very anal over the use of the word God in association with jesus but even if you use that scripture in hebrews you still see that the word "God" is used in association , that's the only problem I have with their argument on the divinity of christ , I don't think jesus was considered a God prior to his life course .The trinity dogma just has too many holes in it for me to accept .

  No kidding Fadeout , just to say American would mean nationalism and certainly idol would mean to aggrandize a person and exalting them over another . Tho not a dub I can remember certain things that would bring instant reproach and critique on a member and often would be something the "worldly" people wouldn't even think twice about.

  Personally I can't understand how they demonize the web but still have TV so as to worship the rich and famous charlatans while watching shows full of sex and violence and immorality .It's all about worshiping the evils of the world anyway.

  okay, so my wife and mom both got back from their public talk / wt study this evening.

  my loudmouthed sister asked if there were any announcements.

  the bookstudy is hereafter known as "the congregation bible study".

  It also helps them keep the electric bill down since the dildos didn't think of putting in solar energy .So now they look at very high electric bills. Don't worry they can just complain about not having money until people give them some to make them shut up.

  How "Bible Prophecy" Will Soon Be Disproven!

  by metatron in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  it's very simple: all this 'prophetic' ( or pathetic) nonsense about "anglo-america" is going to come to an end in a few years.. china has already become the world's biggest exporter:.

  http://www.manufacturingnews.com/news/06/0905/art1.html.

  in ten years, they will become the largest economy - with the biggest population.

  No it's the dual world power of the US and UK or the 666 beast that is the last world power mentioned (according to the WTBTS dogma). personally I'm still waiting on the scarlet beast devouring the whore of babylon (catholic church)IMO . I just know this thing is going to happen . They are a terror organization and throughout history have murdered and stolen and hated , not hard to find that in the history books.

  The letter of changing the book study

  by JWRESEARCH in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i had a second and a third chance to read the famous letter.. here a few details.

  it starts by saying we are in the last days and those who oppose are making things more difficult.

  adds that the gb wants to follow the 1st century example (not to add more burden) and quotes acts 15:5,28. mention the raise of gas price (and the dificulties of some families) and suggest to use the free night to family study.

  obviously they are talking about the ruling powers making it hard on the cult. The french have classified them as a cult therefor they can't keep their tax exempt status .(oompa) Good points that they boast on how people in third world nations walk miles to meet up under the peril of bandits and wild beasts , I'm like , why don't they buy them some ATVs or something ? Now in the US they get a little pinch of hardship then they go into the end must be soooooooooooooooo close spin .
