OUTLAW get the friggin laughing dog out of that post!

The post wasn't in a language other than English?

THE FRIGGING POST WAS IN ENGLISH!

I Like to tell you what we've been doing these past few days here in Portugal (ex-JW). We create a brochure and printing, so we can send to the maximum of congregations in Portugal. Some individuals were also covered in this campaign.

The title of the pamphlet is: "When will the Kingdom arrive?"

The brochure presents in chronological order, the false expectations of Jehovah's Witnesses about the coming of the Kingdom and shows how they were wrong.

Can't you read English?

The post was in English about a Portuguese brochure that shows great initiative and creativeness.

You and the Villagegirl should get together and go back to school, not preferably the Theocratic (Pseudocratic) Ministry School.

WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU? ARE YOU XENOPHOBIC?

I'm really disgusted with posts that show what ignoramouses native English speakers can be.

So what if the brochure isn't in English. It's news! It's a great idea that shows initiative.

That those who put it together got it printed for distribution shows that they didn't sit on

their duffs like some native English speakers who want everything handed to them.

I'd like to congratulate and give thanks to the folks who were creative enough to do such

a professional job of making a brochure to show the WT's infatuation with date setting for

the End of the World.

To translate the brochure wouldn't be that much of an effort, and it could be done in less

than an hour.

Did you ever write your disassociation letter?

by make yourself in

but never gave it to the elders or anyone in the congregation?

.

oppostate

Why play by their rules?

Well, you can beat them at their own game.

Write a letter that threatens to sue if there's any negative mention of you at a public meeting.

Say that you are withdrawing membership from such-and-such congregation but in no way does that entail disassociation.

Say you will consider any attempt to contact you after receipt of the letter as a form of harassment.

Tell them you'll sue the BOE but not the WT, unless the WT provides legal counsel to the BOE and thereby including themselves in any judicial action you may take.

Live your life happily without encroachment from the elder-hounders.

Proposed Apostate takeover campaign

by zound in

jw
friends

fictional apostate takeover campaign.

stage #1.. what if in a town that had a particularly large amount of apostates and ex-jw's, over a period of a few months, they started going to a small congregation.

either pretending they were bible studies or just returning jw's, they got good standing in the congregation, priveleges etc.

What about teaching them the meaning of Sonship as taught in the Scriptures.

The anointedjw.org seems to be having good results.

No, it just reads on a footnote that a number of authoritative ancient texts omit the passage.

Memorial Musings

a few things noticed in last nights annual, jesus who?

gathering:.

1: only one scripture from the gospels was read or cited.

I went to a Massachussetts congregation during the second (less packed together) session.

The first session went over by 20 minutes. The KH was really packed in. One brother waiting

outside to get in commented to others waiting on either side of the exiting horde, "Wow, the

Hall tonight looks like one of those circus cabs when all the clowns start getting out of the car"

and so many of us laughed out loud and thought it so very accurate a statement.

One new partaker in the first session, an older brother, in good standing, but not a servant.

In the second session another brother partook there, it's a very new congregation and this

is the first time anyone has partaken in the last three Memorials/years they've been holding

meetings.

I thought it very funny when a Bible Student reached into the plate to take a piece of

flat bread and his "teacher" grabbed his hand and shook his head no, the poor young

guy just shrugged his shoulders. It reminded me of what Jesus said to the Pharisees

about preventing others to enter the Kingdom of the Heavens and that they themselves

did not go in.

How the GB give themselves away (forensic analysis)

by Terry in

what makes the faithful and discreet slave (fds) any different than the rest of us?.

isn't it their superpowers of channeling "food at the proper time"?.

is this a special talent?

oppostate

The surety of how they proclaim to have the Truth(c) and everyone else is wrong, that's what really gets to me.

The lack of humility, the eagerness to slander other churches, the unwillingness to do anything for charity to help the poor, that's what I consider pharisaical and worthy of contempt.

The Governing Body of Jehovah's Witnesses have proven themselves to follow the un-Christian practices of Substitute Judge for a few days Rutherford, and like him are guilty of proclaiming men's teachings as if they were directed by God.

Thanks Terry for your logical and well reasoned, and balanced post.

The End of Circuit Overseers

by wisdomfrombelow in

i am sure that the term "circuit overseer" will be gone soon.

they seem to be changing vocabulary and the presiding overseer is now the "coordinator of the body of elders" and all "district overseers" will be gone in a few months.

they used to be called "circuit servants" but they will never re-hash an old term so they will make a new term.
