october 1, 2017 to all bodies of elders in nigeria re: local needs for the week of october 16-22.
Wifi has my highest level of trust.

he seems like he'd be very stern and a drag to have to be around.
obsessed with tight pants and homosexuals and all.
so what's he really like?.
Most congregations have an AMIII elder.
With a strong opinion about en against mostly everything.
Conservative and anti liberal.
G.
another agm thought.
in tight pants tony's part, he mentioned several times that jehovah draws those he chooses and only those rightly disposed would come in.
and individuals that liked the literature but made no progress towards becoming jw were a "waste of time".. was he setting the stage for them introducing the thought of predestination?
What an arrogance. People are allways worth your time.
Never understand the 6 month rule.
They think they are better toen others.
Facists.

i wouldn't dare bore you with the whole 3.5 hours of their dogma.
but i have about a half hour of some of the main points.
of course, i made sure tight pants tony was the main part of it, since he's the one that announced the reductions of the wt & awake and no more year book.. also, i have lett saying that jehovah gave jesus immorality instead of immortality.
Great, thanks!

my wife and i were discussing a sure sign of a cult:.
when one knows more about the society / organization after leaving!.
lets face it, most of us here on this forum, and ex-witnesses in general know more facts about the history, background, practices, current procedures, scandals, etc than the average "still-in witness"!
So it is.
When you walk out of the mist cloud that the JW culture is.

when discussing the watchtowers financial problems, i've generally been of the opinion that they probably are not in a real financial crisis.
i've come to believe that money may be something of an issue, but its wrapped up in a much larger problem.
this came to me this morning when reading about the annual meeting.. i think the society's leadership is just plain out of ideas.
@JeffT: I compare the current situation of that of the USSR communist party in 1990. The polit bureau did not believe the socialist doctrines anymore and Gorbatchov knew the end of the empire was in sight.
This GB knows the organization and the doctrines are worthless rubish.

this just in from the 2017 annual meeting:.
1. watchtowers and awakes won't be released regularly, at least three watchtower and awakes per year.
6 magazines a year.. 2. a new book is being released: remain in god's love, more of an update like how they did for the what does the bible really teach book.
Mene Mene Tekel and Parsin

They are fully into the virtual religion now without the hardcopy publications.
And justify it with “no time to lose”.
People on top know that the general rank and file is too stupid to think about it at all.
in a few years they can manage it from one location and the website.
Future: mainstream US religion, centralized by video streaming, without an end in sight, based on a big cash stream with minimal costs.

hi guys.
sooner or later we're going to get a jw knocking on our door.
just like when we were jw's doing the knocking, it's good to have a question prepared to get them thinking about their own beliefs.
Maybe some qustions:
- is it true your religion is changing fast?
- do you're leaders host TV shows?
- is it true that at conventions credit cards are accepted?
- I heard the Belgium and Britisch branches are a delegation within the OVSE?
- I am told that your leader, Jackson, told in his TV show that Jehovah is not the real name of God, but chosen by your religion because it's the most known name of God?
- He recent told that your leaders are not representing God?
G.
how many times have you heard that trope?.
i found it more irritating than a dose of farmers on the bum.
i've even said it when i was a brainwashed jobo drone.
Identical here @redvip2000, I showed up and someone said "Look, you found the road to the hall again".
How I hate these guys.
Avoiding now.
