just wondering?
he denied being in subjection to the the watchtower corporation so are they still using him in their regular monthly broadcast.
He denied being in subjection to the the Watchtower Corporation
The situation is rather that The Watchtower Corporation is in subjection to him as a member of the the Governing Body. That's something he can't so easily deny.
As a member of the GB, the WT's often mentioned "Faithful and Discreet Slave," he votes on official policies and is responsible for teachings that affect the lives of millions of people.
we pulled into a hotel parking lot saturday around 6pm on the return leg of a wonderful family vacation to new england - an then fate stepped in---a man in a suit got out of a car with the rest of a picture perfect family.
i immediately noticed all the name tags--- and my blood pressure spiked 50pts- damn!!
i was booked in a 4 story hotel full of jws-- the only time they took off the name tags was in the swimming pool- they were so proud of themselves.. at 6:30 am the hot water went cold in the wife's shower- what do you expect on the 4th floor when a herd of jws is trying to get ready at the same time?
The correct term in Spanish is "cojones." *
And by your actions, Zimunzucs, they seem marinated in chutzpah!
I hope your effort to approach Witnesses with thought provoking questions will pay-off and result in many of them becoming awake!
*(cajones means big wooden boxes, the reference to testicular enormity and prowess should be "cojones" with "co" not "ca").
we're breaking up the regional convention event by going each of the days to a different weekend session.. the tsongas center lowell ma was a bit hard to find, we got lost and got there after the first song and prayer (just in time for the first talk)!
we ran into so many from our home congregation who aren't even assigned to this rc!.
i think it's quite common for publishers now to break up the convention weekend and attend at times when their congregation isn't assigned.. some families (3) were attending this particular convention so as to meet up with family members who are in another part of the region.
i was told that today by a jw...no more to say.
I had a strange feeling about them blood oranges

how did you get lost going there? It's right off the boulevard.
I didn't say it was by accident
if you were at the watchtower how many times did you hear this idiotic condescending word?
i think i must have heard it 500 times.
the learner.
In the educational context the word "student" is being replaced by "learner" in many instances.
At least in English this is true.
I have an advanced degree in Education from a UK uni and the term "learner" is all over modern educational parlance and in the professional literature. Here in the States it is likewise a common term to refer to students. Yet the obvious benefit of the term "learner" is that we are all "learners" and encouraged to continue to be so in our striving to better ourselves.
The term student is overloaded with Theocratic baggage when it shows up in WT literature, as WFB mentioned earlier. When the WTs show over-saturation of a term, it's really using a mind control mechanism. Repeated exposure will desensitize the reader. Like with a lie, if repeated often enough, people start believing it. Well, the term learner is something the WT obviously wants to incorporate into it's cult jargon.
could someone do me a favor and post the picture on page 9 on the above mentioned watchtower.. i'll point it out, very surprised no one else has picked up on this creepy image..
Wow! I can really see the images clearly now that Punkofnice optimized them!
Who would have thunk it? Does that make me color blind?

john hoyle--jws go knocking on strangers doors and try to get inside homes to preach.. wt rep--we are slowly moving away from that kind of preaching work, we do more preaching by using literature carts and personal telephone calls.. .
the above quote is from john hoyle's website:http://insidethewatchtower.com/doctrine/phone-calls-to-bethel-jw-org-email-and-contacts/.
it's interesting, isn't it?
so fundamentally change the nature of JWs that the organization would become unrecognizable.
Fundamentally this is another permutation in the ever ongoing changes of the WTS. From Russell to Rutherford, to Knorr, to GB 1, and post Ray Franz GB-(hardass version 1.1, then lately GB 2.0--and mosr currently GB 2.1 the "Soft"-ware version.
From what the WT religion used to be when I got bapt'ed in the 80's compared to now, this is indeed quite an unrecognizable organization.
if any are willing, share your fact based reasons for viewing faith as dangerous.
viewing faith as dangerous is the reason for almost all of my posts recently.
what seems constant is that theists are too focused on there own little world to realize how and why faith is so damaging to society.
Faith is the root of confidence (literally) and trust. If you trust statistics and that proof results are accurate then your belief is based on faith that there was no shenanigans in the compilation of data used to prove a point as true to one's satisfaction.
