: the kind which gets your mind to accept things unchecked.
I agree that the songs are all about this. So is the WT "study".
i just said another startling insight!
after seeing it in so many songs, it finally clicked when i was checking song #97, old one #43.. now for those who have heard, the songs are super mellow now, the flow is....soothing.
at the district convention almost chanting like.

got some info from the annual meeting.. unofficially, the 'generation' is now categorized as 2 groups.
the first is 'the 1914 group' and the second is the younger anointed 'contemporaries' who 'actually work for a period of time with those anointed ones'.. the 'generation' is now 'the lifespan of those who actually saw the beginning of the sign and then the lifespan of those who worked with those who saw the beginning of the sign'.. here we go again....
bttt
can't wait to see this in print.....
it's very interesting comparing things that are removed.
for one, new world order and new world, new order, all being eliminated from everything.
just research nwo, "new world order", etc, to see.
: Old book - "In his place each one be heeding, what Christ Jesus has to say" - NEW ONE -> "Stay alert to Christ's direction, Through his faithful slave today
Unbelievable... another example of the WT$/GB putting themselves in the place of Christ...
Is anyone else reminded of the subtle changes to the "commandments" in Animal Farm by Orwell?
i decided you guys would like to see watchtower's claimed statistics for 2009. interestingly their new baptisms are down though they claim enormous growth in the u.s. and around the globe, which most do not believe are valid.
anyway, just click to see; odds are your own nations show up in the list:.

: it isn't the WTS who is lying. It is the rank and file.
Better to say it isn't ONLY the WT$ who is lying...
well i've got to start cooking for tomorrow.
ironically, i'll be spending christmas with some witnesses this year, as we're going to my sisters and she's invited her family, her father in law and some dubs from the hall over.
thankfully, the ones that are coming are normal and treat me fine, even though they know i don't go anymore.
Merry Christmas to you, Mary
didn't see this posted anywhere, my apologies if this is a repeat..... in a letter to all congregations dated 12/9/09, the society wrote out some highlights of the previous service year.
the letter is to be read to the congregation "at the first service meeting after its receipt".. here are the numbers they report (all numbers are for us only):.
-- average publishers - 1,096,502. this is about a 4% increase (3.5% if you don't round) over the prior year's average of 1,059,253.. -- that "4% increase" in average publishers is the largest since 1992.
"Lies... lies and more lies. That entire report is a calculated fraud."
I second that Elsewhere. Given their established history of outright lying, it's naive to think the WT$ is "honor bound" to publish the legitimate figures....
even for a jw's way of thinking~~~~.
there are just so many things in this little write-up by a jw that is so assuming and twisted.
2 year meeting after armageddon dear brothers, please include the reminders below in the nro (new resurrected ones) 2-year review meeting.
