You think the governing body is shi++ing in its pants?
Of course they are, and they have been for some time. The diaper laden old men just can't help themselves.

in the united states i keep hearing about how nobody sees the witness is going door-to-door and more, or at least not as often as they used to.
i also heard a report from england recently which stated to the same effect.. what do you think?
do you think the internet is the watchtower society's worst nightmare?.

on bank holiday monday just gone, a dear kind older couple in the cong decided to take me and my good lady out for a slap up meal, to try to cheer us up after the recent upheaval in our life.
somehow i ended up with the bill.. anyway, this was the local italian trattoria were we often go, and are on first names terms with the staff and quite a few of the other regulars.
big mistake!!.
Have any of you enjoyed a long meaningful prayer in your fave restaurant?????????.
Yes, co John Casino did the same thing in a Chinese rest. With a group of ten and about 100 others that were not interested. I wanted to crawl under the table while watching the pompous ass.

the watchtower society is supposed to be without racial prejudice.
god's channel would be expected to be unlike the world in its ungodly views.
yet, the watchtower magazine as well as other publications at times spoke of the black race as accursed, uneducated and unable to adequately teach the word thru the publications.
I've met Brother Herd. He's of a different mold.
yeh a BLOW mold.

considering the majority, if not all of rutherford's teachings are all but dead, the only two i can think of that are still strongly supported are........... 1) heavens doors closed in 1935 (which is probaly on it's way out the door as well).
2) changing the name from international bible students to jehovah's witnesses.. so to completely eliminate rutherford what would the jehovah's witnesses change their name to next ?????????.
this should be humourous !!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'd say just shorten it to: "The Knockers"

jehovahs witness logical fallacies.pt1.
in fact, many of the bad experiences people have with jws are caused by actions that the society does not encourage.. .
logan i have started a new thread simply because if a jw read your old one they may be happy enough not go back to reread this if it was posted there.. one of the things that kept me holding on to the jw faith was the thought that many of the bad experiences people have with jws are caused by actions the soceity does not encourage.
Brummie;
Most JW's will never have to deal directly with the "Society" ever. Not even most elders will ever venture into the realm of direct contact with the service dept. in Patterson, NY the closest contact for local elders will be the "CO" the traveling representative as they are known. It's the elite of the local body that will occasionally make a call or know someone there. The service dept. will not even give out their names only a desk number on any correspondence verbal or written
When one finally is shown, first hand, how cold they really can be it's an eye opener. It made me feel like I was defending a big bad ass gangster and trying to make him look sweet. I couldn't do it for long once I realized what position I had been put into.
The average JW will defend the unknown only from what they are told through their very tight controlled information put out by the very organization it defends. (does circular reasoning come to mind?) I'm so glad I'm out of that loop.

if you saw a serious car accident, and people were trapped in the car, or unconscious in the wreck, would you try to get them out even if the car was on fire and could explode at any moment?.
coming back from quebec city today, i saw a car or truck in the ditch upside down and with lots of smoke coming out of the wreckage.
4 or 5 cars were stopped near by to look at the accident.
Yes I would and have.
I was a passenger in a dubbies (ms) car when I was a new dubbie returning from a day of skiing when we came upon a bright flash of light that light up the night sky. It was a country road with no one around and cold out when around the next corner a car had just hit a utility pole. The wires were down and sparks were coming from under the vehicle. I told my dubbie friend (ms) to stop the car and his reply was "NO let's keep going" . I opened our car door while it was still moving slowly and jumped out and ran over to the damaged vehicle, the motor was racing full throttle with the only occupant slumped over the steering wheel. I forced open the door and shut off the ignition then revived the driver by yelling and shaking him, he was covered in blood and his ear was torn off. After a short time the police arrived and I went back to my ride where the Ministerial Servant was still sitting, he never got out, I said lets go he'll be ok. He never said a word about it after that. He was a real good dubbie example.

does this make all of us worse that satan ??????.
when replying to a thread started by black man i said something like ........ " after armageddon is over we will all be dead, but satan will still be kicking, and then let loose again after christ's 1000 year reign, so satan already has his get out of armageddon card, he's already thru.
" sounds fair, don't you think ?????????
Don't you know? If we're asking these questions we are following Satan. WAHAHAHAHAH...WAHAHAHAHAHAH

i was discussing with my motherinlaw last weekend the change in the 1995 "generation" doctrine,and got the usual response that it was a new light.
what started out as a little bit of fun during a long car journey actually turning into something quite sad and disturbing.
i argued that old light was obviously wrong (by their own definition), and therefore, by her reasoning she has been preaching lies.
Universal laws (truths) of science are proven over and over again through controlled experiments. These laws become common knowledge and all things in life are governed by them and "New Light" does occasionally come in the form of another discovery. The former, even simple, laws do not go away or change ex: gravity, magnetism, water freezing / boiling and many others. Does anyone dispute these? Why even the WT would agree with them. I can't understand the difference, if all comes from god why are the spiritual laws all in dispute and changing while the physical laws are so definite and build from a solid foundation when new discoveries come along? Because these physical laws are constant and will always be. Unless some higher being decides as a joke to put us all on our asses some day by changing things we've known and believed (because they are true) all our lives and calls it new light we can expect a constant, true scientific law.
The WT and other religions will change interpretation and say god made them do it. If god made all the physical laws and does not change them why does he see fit to change the spiritual laws? I guess my answer is I just don't believe any religions interpretations of anything.
