why is your new president not anonted even tho the watchtower says all presidents should be announted ???
as for the current watchtower presendent; you see back when bro.
The lawyers surely can get them to do whatever they want at this point.
That's a very good point you make MadSweeney, I tend to agree with you that the lawyers are
behind the reins in a lot of GB decisions, or so it would seem looking back on what's been happening
with abuse cases, etc.
if there are any active elders here, how about scanning and posting and new letters that you may have received in the congo.
it's been kinda dry for a while..
this booklet was published before as a pdf but not in full color and not searchable.
so here is the 1953 booklet "preach the word" with the english, german, french, dutch and afrikaanse text made searchable.
i tried greek as well but the fonts where not transferred to the pdf so i left it out.
"Might as well leave the sheep in the world as to bring them to an unclean organization!"
This is the sort of quote that after learning of the WTS history, especially Rutherford's time, that make you want to spew your coffee.
dear all,.
i love it when your avatar is a real picture of you.
i look at it with interest and my heart warms up.
I'm ok with using my pic here. I also use them on Facebook.
You may have to log into Facebook to see the photos though.
That's me and my attack kitty body guard!
did anyone go to the meeting last night?
post the theme here.
thanks!.
IF
Power corrupts...
...and absolute power corrupts absolutely...
does that mean that the lack of power is anti-corruptive?
The minute someone has power over another it may corrupt that relationship?
If fish live in the sea does it make it fishy?
...and if lions are outside in the street is that reason to stay home if you're a starving magazine news reporter?
...and if you venture out does that make you "meat" in due season?
i first began my misadventures with jehovah's witnesses in 1972 as a youth(18 years old) and was baptised in that same year.
i was young inexperienced and they caught me at a low point when i was weak and looking for god to solve problems.
being raised as a catholic and going to all the religious indoctrination up to the point of confirmation, i guess you could say i was indoctrinated from birth to believe a certain way which left me vulnerable to the jw propaganda.. fast foreword to the time of my departure in 2001 february.. for a couple of years (late 90s) before i left i started noticing out right lies in the wt publications about their history and the luster that these magazines used to have started to fade rapidly also around that time i really began to notice the gobs and gobs of praise they were bestowing on the organization and the representative members of the so called faithful & discrete slave(gb).
All you have to do is just listen to their prayers from the platform===bow your heads to the GB.Iam sick of hearing all the praises to the GB.
You're so right Bob. If I hear a brother pray thanking the FDS this or that and GB this or that I just don't even say Amen. During a recent CO visit I didn't even clap for the hard nose traveling servant and his snappy talks. When you're trapped, even a little resistance of this sort brings a good feeling int the heart. Oh, I know the heart is treacherous but more so are the minds of these Governing Body members.
i'm back after quite a few months of not visiting jwd/jwn.nice things happening to the gui.
purdy.
kudos to simon.
Oppostate, I don't see a bug so you must have changed it... Greeky. Does it mean "the last"? O-mega.
Thanks WAC for the nice compliment I happen to appreciate my avatar now. Thanks.
I also happen to think Billy's is cute!
Mouthy has a beautiful smile, and Blondie's is just so classy.
It would be nice if we could see more faces and fewer bugs.
