you so smart.. me dumb.. me want to be like you.. how?.
seriously, i would like to tip my hat to those of you who entertain and educate me every day on this forum.
i am grateful that you are willing to share what you know, unstintingly.
i would second that
there are a good number here who i wish at times i had the wisdom of, the wit of, the memory of, the scholastic ability of and the heart of.
it is no exacgeration to say that a good many of us regular punters owe a great debt of gratitude to others.
A doff of my hat to you all.

he runs circles around the dogmatic elders.

I believe we will see and hear more and more recorded JC (at least until the elders do strip searches at the behest of the GB)
the crux will always be ''Do you believe that jehovah is using the GB/FDS as his true spokesman''
if both parties stopped dancing around what both parties KNOW will be the crux, they will last all of 2 minutes...
Not ever having had that sort of JC, i find these, although facinating, to be tad embarressing for the elders and the accused. The accused will try to prove a point that they already know will make no difference, the elders try to look interested in the views but they are not in the slightest. They need to boil it down to the nitty griity asap as well.
By the time the JC took place the kid had 80 youtubes up...pretty obvious where he stood
I mean no disrespect to those who have to go through a JC for finding the truth about the truth...

''No recording, it's just what we do''.......''we're just men talking''...
it doesn't take them very long to get to the real point...the faithful slave/god's organization and obedience to them

at 57:50 he just starts diving into jws out of no where.
gotta give the guy credit at least, he really got ahead of the game because this video is pretty old.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zyvabqgtbds.
interesting subject that maybe one day i will look at more, for now it just seems to far out.
if the free masons were/are going to be the new world oder i would surmize that are well past their use by date.
Out here in country australia, one towns freemason lodge is nothing but a historical display in a museam, in my little town its few old men farmers who mostly are drunk a good portion of the time and dont even have a meeting place other than a comunity hall...

meetup site on the jw.org web site.
they obviously were on the wrong site but didn't know the difference.

walking down memory lane today and recalled a convo with my ex about noah's ark.
(i made all the rookie mistakes when talking to my ex about jw stuff -sigh.
) i think i said something like 'if you believe in noah's ark take the cat and a mouse from the backyard for a drive around the block and let me know how it goes.
Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, ...saying, ... for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation [modern uniformitarianism belief]. For this they willingly are ignorant of, that ...the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished: - 2 Peter 3
I LOVE THIS VERSE!
It is so freaking STOOPID
First, make some realy daft predictions that involve past present and future events, then also add that when people scoff at the nonsense that such scoffing proves the first nonsense correct indeed!

hi guys,.
so then, why did you get dunked?
were you pressured into it too, or did you do it because you honestly thought it was the right thing to do?.
For the life of me, i don't really know.
i was about 18, i dont remember the date at all. I think it was just the culmination of all that i was ''supposed'' to do. I think it may have involved a little bit of a drawcard for girls...you know, ''oooh he's baptised''. I think though it had as much do do with just going with the flow, it's just what one did.
dumb arse me...was the pattern for the next 22 years

wonderfully well written i thought.
The JWs may well stay around another hundred years yet but they are going to be a lot smaller in number...and is it possible...even more corpse like...
