But seriously, welcome to JWD.
I'm glad you're awakening.

First impression was, wow, Watchtower artists are having 1960's bad acid trip flashbacks. But now looking at it again I'm left wondering if...
Due to the head-bands the cranium suffered from compression leading to chronic head-aches and susceptibility to satanic influence. The GB 3.0 had warned not to exert unnecessary pressure on their recently resurrected noggins and rebels decided to disregard the Channel's Direction to their mortal detriment.
And the guy with the mustache and the goatee is definitely asking for it, didn't he know it was rebellious and anti JW.0rg to grow facial hair?

BTW posting this during our meeting and the little girl in the row in front of me just pooped her diapers which for quite a little one it was a quite audible bowel movement--immediately after the moving part about the leper getting touched--quite moving. I'm thinking about moving myself to another row if her mom or dad don't do something quick about the wafting odor and go change the poor kid. You gotta have a sense of humor I'd say!

Let your name be spanktified
by oppostate inlol!
the subbing wt conductor just stumbled over the title of the wt study and said "let your name be spanktified.
let your name be spp... stank... sanctified".. all right, so everyone gets tongue tied at some point, if we don't use the words we read as part of our daily vocabulary.

LOL! The subbing WT conductor just stumbled over the title of the WT study and said "Let your name be spanktified. Let your name be spp... stank... SANCTified".
All right, so everyone gets tongue tied at some point, if we don't use the words we read as part of our daily vocabulary. Poor guy had everyone laughing out loud! At least it was a funny start to the usual boring as heck WT study!

WT is shorting literature orders by congregation with a problem contributing enough for literature $3500 just for mags
by oppostate inat our meeting last night there was a talk about having run out of magazines for the last three months.
it's expected this will continue to happen.
the "branch" has not sent the requested number of magazines.

So the figures this too-young-to-be-an-elder elder gave the congregation had been bothering me for quite some time. I finally had a chance to ask him Saturday.
He told me the figure of 3500 bucks was a total year rounded off figure. I asked him if the shortage was due to the CO telling the BOE not to order so many each month in order to cut costs. He looked at me like I was an impertinent brat. (Mind you, I'm twice his age, and probably twice his weight).
So I pressed on, I'm not intimidated by a snotty nosed, bony faced, pencil-neck, pretentious and conceited nincompoop. How is it we've been placing more magazines each month than the number received, doesn't that mean the figures are inflated? He looked at me like I was speaking a foreign language.
It sounds to me like publishers are reporting magazines they never got, doesn't it? He took in a big breath through a barely open m-dash of a mouth, and held it for a moment, his head shook as if trying to dismiss from his mind an answer he'd quickly thought better not to give me.
He turned and started to walk away from me. So if the Xxxxxxxxx Congregation didn't have extras either to give us , how are publishers placing what we didn't get? His only response was a quick sideways glance back at me at me as he walked away.
I guess he didn't think I was worthy to share any information with.

Will Criminal Investigation And Prosecution Of The Governing Body Ever Happen Because Of The Policies They Made?
by Brokeback Watchtower inso far in more recent times they have only been called to take the witness stand in court twice to my knowledge one was a no show in defiance to a court order in which he gave a sworn false statement to the courts claiming austrian citizenship.
and the other jackson who gave a terrible witness to the court full of lies and misleading statements.
all this shows how damaging their testimony is when brought before authorities who demand answers for their behavor and policies.. i personal hope for that day to come and have a gut feeling that we will be seeing a lot more of these guys called to court to explain their actions and impose big settlements over their not living up to their fiduciary duty toward children who have been molested by ministers(elders,ms, co, branch personal) they have appointed.

O my God - QCS Telecom, inc
by Gorbatchov inhow blessed we are with google.
with some little information, it is possible to expose the current watchtower corporations.. we read earlier about qcs telecom,inc that was transferred from the jw florida professor hachman.. hachman is owning the jwhsf.org and more domains, used by watchtower.. now, on linked in, some "brother" that works for qcs describes about his work and qcs telecom.. it seems to me, watchtower is using qcs for his own 100gb internet and deliver this product by qcs on the market.. all my grandparrents stood for, poor jw's devoting their whole live to this organization is thrown away.
they are openly commercial.. read it:.

Guardians of Doctrine.
by Pubsinger ini'm still working my way through the videos..... this has probably been covered before but had anyone else ever heard them use this phrase before?
not me... but it's a clever and as per usual misleading choice of words.. if they are indeed guardians of doctrine, they are very poor ones.
if so jws would believe the same thing now that they did in 1879 and we all know that's not true.

Guardians Of Doctrine (G.O.D.) sounds like another effort to become more like the Catholics, in this case the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith of the Roman Curia, today called the Supreme Sacred Congregation of the Holy Office which in previous centuries was better known as the "Inquisition".

Do you believe Jehovah's Witnesses' Governing Body is the "faithful slave"?
by Marvin Shilmer inthis question is known to be posed by jws to other jws as an acid test of loyalty.
i'm not the first to notice what i'm about to point out and comment accordingly, but today i felt compelled to add a short article on my blog highlighting the new language that governing body member geoffrey jackson supplies as a response.
a person who honestly hesitates to respond with a robust "yes!

Using the word disciples left Jackson off the hook quite a bit.
The scriptures Jackson used to explain the GB's role of Guardians Of Doctrine (G.O.D.) clearly made the connection of the GB being equal to the 12 apostles, not just any disciples of Jesus two thousand years ago.
This is something that they haven't made so obvious in print, yet there you have it, the GB and the Apostles are the same class in Jackson's mind.
That certainly would seem very presumptuous and makes them similar to the mormon's who do call their own leadership "apostles".
