  Statement about Lying in January 2015 Public Watchtower

  by BluesBrother in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  the online mag opens with this bold statement :.

  "most people lie at least once during a ten minute conversation.

  why bother trying to be different?".

  Huge sense of relief, I can do so many things now GUILT FREE YAY!

  However, I still struggle massively with death. Not so much the long & happy life well lived, surrounded by friends & family pain free kind of death. But the unjust death

  Of the murder victim

  Of the child with cancer

  Of the young slave who died under the lash
  

  Those who disappeared in the gulags or camps

  Of the pig or monkey whose only life has been lived in a cage filled with cruelty
  

  The still born baby

  The generations of our ancestors whose lives were nasty, brutish & short

  Cheerful sort, aren't I?

  Earlier this year they sent a representative to Brooklyn to resolve certain doctrinal issues with the governing body.

  I don't see anything particularly unusual in this. I don't see why a group of long term JW/elders/anointed should not visit bethel and whilst they were there "resolve",in other words clear up, issues they were not absolutely clear on.

  I certainly don't think disliking the shiny new tech savy org makes the older ones "apostates"either, in fact it's par for the course & what the org would be expecting in many ways.

  Nothing unusual here imho.

  hi,.

  with the layoffs of bethelites and special pioneers, does anyone know if they get some sort of "redundancy" payout?

  There is a reason you have to sign a vow of poverty.

  Aha, that explains it thank you Morpheus. Never could get my head around that as it smaked so much of Christendom, now I know why!
