  Local Kingdom Hall Speakers To Be Replaced By Governing Body Video Feeds.

  by donuthole in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  so we've seen as the current gb is getting more facetime in an effort to reach the hearts and minds of the rank and file.

  this took a leap with video feeds at an open annual meeting.

  the international conventions are taking this a step farther.. do you think that local speakers at kingdom halls could ever be replaced by headquarter approved video feeds?.

  Yay.

  Bring it on already.

  So that more can see through these Pharisees.

  Someone please write them a sycophantic letter begging them for this "loving provision"...

  Why did Ray Franz leave the Organization? Your Opinion Matters!

  by SanLuisObispoTruthSeeker in

  what would make a man throw away all his earthly riches to expose the cult?

  what did ray franz have to gain by leaving in total poverty?

  if ray franz had stayed in place, he could have lived like a god, why did he leave?

  He began to see that "legalism" is apostasy, and is rife in the Watchtower.

  On the otherhand he saw that the "gospel of grace" was being carefully hidden from Watchtower followers.

  Hence his crisis of conscience.

  apparently the society is taking an aggressive stand on youth baptisms and the age recommendations.. from what i have heard from a good source in bethel, a letter is being sent to all boe's that those desiring to be baptized first be potty trained.. rub a dub.

  In the end, none of that sort of thing made any difference on the Titanic either.

  I wonder what the Sanhedrin (GB) would do with a totally sycophantic and idolatrous letter along the lines of the OP title.

  Please someone write them...

  Thank you for sharing those links cognisonance.

  Some may be interested in this book:

  Full description for "The Spirit Level"

  • It is a well-established fact that in rich societies the poor have shorter lives and suffer more from almost every social problem. "The Spirit Level," based on thirty years of research, takes this truth a step further. One common factor links the healthiest and happiest societies: the degree of equality among their members. Further, more unequal societies are bad for everyone within them-the rich and middle class as well as the poor.The remarkable data assembled in "The Spirit Level" exposes stark differences, not only among the nations of the first world but even within America's fifty states. Almost every modern social problem-poor health, violence, lack of community life, teen pregnancy, mental illness-is more likely to occur in a less-equal society.Renowned researchers Richard Wilkinson and Kate Pickett lay bare the contradictions between material success and social failure in the developed world. But they do not merely tell us what's wrong. They offer a way toward a new political outlook, shifting from self-interested consumerism to a friendlier, more sustainable society.

  I am grateful to have learnt much about the liberating gospel of grace and its nemesis religion (legalism, moralism and ethnocentrism).
