  what were *your favorite *books in the organization?.

  out of all of those books, i liked "mankind's search for god.

  " however, it appears to me that this book is incredibly obscure and no one recalls studying it during the old book study format.

  Life Everlasting in the Freedom of the Sons of God...... Loved that book. I read it faithfully every March before the Memorial.

  This book is all that is left of my JW library (and the purple song book)

  I love the push for young people to go to Bethel. Everyone I (personally) know that has ever gone to Bethel learned TTATT there

  GB member and 17000 US$ iWatch !

  one member of a similar spanish speaking forum has found something quite interesting.. it is quite funny to see that gb members do not really realize how their belongings are really showing them as a fraud.

  do you expect to see a gb wearing a 17000 us$ iwatch when answering to a court.

  geoffrey jackson does !.

  I can't help but think of the years when I was broke as a pioneer.....Magnum

  This is the reason these extravagances of the GB are so disturbing. I remember literally being hungry, and often all those years I regular pioneered. I was skin and bones soakin' wet because I wholeheartedly applied Matt 6:33.

  What the hell was it all for?

  hi i've been a jw my whole life and i'm 17 now.

  i've never had a mine of my own and recently i started thinking more open minded and i know the being a jw isn't for me.

  Do not get baptized!. You can never, ever undo the ugly consequences that JW baptism brings.

  GEOFFREY JACKSON and the JUNCTION of DYSFUNCTION

  by Terry in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  in the land of the blind the one-eyed man is king.. _____________________.

  in the watchtower society, there is a point where heaven and earth meet.. 100+ years of historical evidence will show it is a junction of dysfunction; a mental construct; a shadow of imagination indwelling like a spirit of possession.. the shaman who invoke this shadow spirit are seven men in number; an elite cadre of self-described anointed kings and priests whose ultimate destination is heaven itself.. or so they are eager to insist!.

  while cloaking themselves in the ragged raiment of mere slaves, their actions, words and deeds betray this subterfuge.

  His words were stern. They were also flat and cold, not unlike a coiled serpent on stone, concealed in shadows.

  Perfectly said Terry! Especially when asked if the disfellowshipping arrangement could ever possibly be changed. His compassionate, Christ like manner manifested itself in his loving reply......NO

  I watched Mr. Jackson last night with my super cult minded parents

  i have seen some ask on this site how the active jw's are handling what is happening in australia.

  here is my little experience from last night........ my parents were baptized in the late 30's as children and have never faltered in their determination to survive the great tribulation and live forever in paradise (even though they actively associate with all their df'ed kids).

  my father is still actively serving as an elder and my mother has always been by his side.

  I have seen some ask on this site how the active JW's are handling what is happening in Australia. Here is my little experience from last night.......

  My parents were baptized in the late 30's as children and have never faltered in their determination to survive the Great Tribulation and live forever in Paradise (Even though they actively associate with all their DF'ed kids). My father is still actively serving as an elder and my mother has always been by his side. They are old, but actually quite healthy and still mentally sharp. I really struggled with whether I wanted to share any of what is happening in Australia with them, but in the end, we all ended up in the family room last night with Papa's 60 inch TV and bowls of buttered popcorn.
  

  We watched it up to the lunch break and I have to say my parents were almost giddy, they were so excited to be viewing this. My mom had her silver sword and was following along with all the scriptures. My father kept saying how beautiful every single scripture was....even a few tears of appreciation for this unexpected spiritual feast. They were jumping in and shouting out the answers to questions that Mr. Jackson was trying to get out of answering (they were totally oblivious to what Jackson was really doing - they just wanted to help him out a little). I heard things like "What an incredible witness to the world" and "Who else could answer like that from the bible?" and "These brothers that Jehovah is using are unbelievable" (Yeah...I can agree with that last one). More words of appreciation and talk of how different we are from the world, and the "TWOOF" and more "TWOOF"

  So there you have it. A summary of what a couple of old JW's think of what is taking place in Australia. I kept quiet....it is not worth discussing at this stage in their life.

  My personal favorite exchange last night was when they were discussing young people getting baptized. Jackson said he knows witnesses that were baptized as young as 11 and have stayed faithful to the organization all their life. Mr. Stewart replied something to the effect of........"Yes, isn't that because there is no way to leave?"

  Billy's comments to the RC #1 - "We always require at least two witnesses... except for when we don't."

  i'm still trying to catch up on the rc broadcast posted to youtube, and i haven't been able to keep up with everything discussed here about it.

  however, there have been a few points that i wish i could submit.

  repeatedly it has been stated that unless there is a confession, jcs can only act on testimony if it is corroborated by two or more witnesses to the wrongdoing.

  i guess this article will be appreciated within the jw community, being on the positive side when discussing blood transfusion.

  it is the first of three articles to be published in that prestigious magazine.. http://www.newyorker.com/news/news-desk/how-jehovahs-witnesses-are-changing-medicine.
