To them to question the org. is the same as anarchy and rebellion against jesus himself since the FDS are considered the embodiment of christ on earth. Kinda does remind me of the catholic church saying the same stuff in the middle ages but the WTBTS is not near as tyrannical but still wanting the same type of power .

Less Focus on Doctrine, More Focus on OBEDIENCE.
by easyreader1970 ini went to the convention this past weekend.
it was a bit different than most conventions i have gone to (all 26 of them).
there was pretty much no doctrine presented at this convention at all.

Why did David bring Golaith's head to Jerusalem?
by VM44 ini samuel 17:54 - "and david took the head of the philistine and brought it to jerusalem".
why did david do this, especially when the city of jerusalem was over 20 miles away and also under jebusite control at the time?.

If the bible isn't saying so , I guess I can speculate with the best of them , David wanted to show the evidence that "Jehovah" had sunk the sling stone in goliaths head. We all know it was against Jewish law to leave the dead unburied over night even ,so the belief of using it on a stick to warn others is not kosher.

somebody did mention gas prices tonight at the book study, some now think they are helping to save the environment even, I think Al Gore would get all exited over it . I'd have to say , wouldn't the walk to the hall be good exercise for getting in shape for the D2D work? yes , heathen has attended a couple of meetings .

I had one jw tell me recently that it was because of their growth and being able to let others use the hall on the bookstudy nights . Don't know how for real that is but we will find out.

UN again but just questions to ponder.
by yknot inwell rick's video on venus got me thinking about our favorite wannabe international heavy......the un.. we all know the lame half assed excuse that ciro released regarding the library card..... how long after ted is permanently infirmed or dead until the hand picked younguns' decide to quietly ditch the un doctrine?.
do you think the un would take them back?.

They just simply put a gag order out . Everybody clams up , they won't even bother to write an article explaining anything in the mags .I did talk to some jw's and they did say it was back to the old belief that the UN was the scarlet beast .I think they totally screwed up by making man made government the superior authority after saying the appointed times of the nations had concluded and the kingdom was now in power . They stated in allot of publications that the worlds political powers are controlled by satan so they in effect made satan ruler over God even .Unbelievable ..............

WTWizard - the WTBTS is saying that it's your choice , you can if you want , you don't have to pioneer or auxiliary pioneer if you don't want to. I guess the field service once a week is not a "large door" but will keep you in good standing .Their minimum requirements have been reduced since people are not having the time since they work more hours to survive.

Pope 'led cover-up of child abuse by priests'
by Deputy Dog infrom http://www.thisislondon.co.uk/news/article-23369148-details/pope+%27led+cover-up+of+child+abuse+by+priests%27/article.do.
the pope played a leading role in a systematic cover-up of child sex abuse by roman catholic priests, according to a shocking documentary to be screened by the bbc tonight.
in 2001, while he was a cardinal, he issued a secret vatican edict to catholic bishops all over the world, instructing them to put the church's interests ahead of child safety.

doesn't surprise me , the WTBTS even has been saying they've been doing it for a long time .Then to find out the WTBTS does practically the same thing by simply letting the offender move to a new hall without telling them the history . So I've read on the board anyway.........

Living forever
by donny inthe society teaches that if adam and eve had not sinned, they would still be here today as perfect humans.
how do they justify that every other living thing dies?
did lower animal life sin as well?

it was the cutting off from the tree of life that actually was the main factor in our short life spans .Genesis clearly says if they continued to eat from it the could live indefinitely .The WTBTS does twist that around and pretends it doesn't actually know what's meant by the tree of life . Obviously it's impossible for animals to sin they don't have a soul .
