Another brother said that Jehovah dropped our
Tuesday night meeting so that we could have the
family worship night because the Faithful Slave
knows how important it is to study.

"treasure your place in the congregation.".
dozy did this exercise previously but i thought paragraph 5 was worth looking at agan.. let's change the perspective to the first person:.
"the spirit that now operates in the sons of disobedience" is so widespread that it is like the air we breathe.

One brother even commented that the Slave has given
us a new song book and we do not want to show resistance
to learning the new songs. My brain began to bleed.

A comment was made at our hall today that if we do not
follow the instructions of the channel that God is using that
it will mean our deaths.

What will the Witnesses do at the Great Tribulation when there
is great devastation with buildings being colapsed with people
being buried alive and crying for help. Will the Witnesses help
the people out of the rubble or let them die since it was God's
war? How will they know if the people crying for help are not
JW's and not wicked wordly people? Will the Watchtower Society
bring in the bulldozer's and medical assistance to help the wounded
Witnesses or perhaps their wounds will heal them selves instantly.
With about 7 millions Witnesses to bury 6 billion people there is
going to be a lot of bodies to dispose of. In Haiti those pour
souls are putting toothpaste in their noses to help cover the smell
of the rotting flesh of the dead and that is only for 200,000 dead.
What will 6 billion dead smell like? That is going to take a lot of tooth paste.
The Witnesses better put extra tooth paste in their survival bags.

i almost missed this in my last post, but i just realized how important and must list it.
paragraph 14 from jan 15, 2010 wt last article entitled "jehovah's way of ruling vindicated".
"a few anointed members of "the israel of god" still remain, and as jesus' brothers, they continue to act as "ambassadors substituting for christ (2 cor 5:20) they have been appointed as a faithful and discreet slave class to care for and provide spiritual food for annointed ones and a growing crowd of christians, who now include millions having the hope of living on earth forever.
The light is getter brighter and brighter and gooder and gooder.

The Bible was written to support the Watchtower.

in the last few years that i served as an elder, and as i was discovering what the wts really was, the term "old school" would be used and it began to bother me more and more.
it was usually used to praise a person with a mean, unwaivering, dogmatism to an obselete policy.
a couple of times i would ask the person what he meant by the term.
So true. We had an "old school elder" in my old hall
many moons ago and he used to pull me aside and
as one elder to another critique my prayers that I gave
at the Hall.

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).
Frankie,
Nice post. The Faithful Slave is put on the same level as Jehovah.
Last week after the Watchtower Study the conductor said how
nice it is to sit and eat at Jehovah's table. The Watchtower is
the holy Koran of the JW's and the Faithful Slave is quoted more
than God's Word.
This just makes me Sour Grapes
not sure if i ever shared this...but have seen several "sharing" threads here lately and it motivated me..... when i met with the co and po about some doubts and an important question....and when i got the co's answer.....i could not speak....i put my head down and just started crying...not sobbing cause i fought it back...finally the only words to come out were..."i am going to have to leave my wife and son"....and they were like wtf?...but in jw lingo of course.
see i knew in that instant...that very moment....that i had been lied to my entire life...and my stack of doubts i had been piling on the shelf and waiting on jehovah were all valid....and i knew i would never fit in again...not even with my wife and son...that i would never be the spiritual head they needed and wanted.....that was almost 4 years ago...man time flies...and yep...now i am separated from my jw wife...and yep...i did not fit in...not even with her...and my son is older now and moved out but we are not close.
btw...i had printed out all 12 places in rev.
Thanks for sharing OOMPA.
