Song 151

by ab.ortega in

any idea what could have happened to song 151?

what logical reason could they have had to skip a number.

is the number 151 now an evil number accordig to new light?

"Who is Morris III?" Showed up in an FB thread--A surprising answer followed.

or maybe not so surprising after all, you be the judge....

He has always been drop-dead poor and so was his whole extended family.

It doesn't add up as StarTrekAngel said Tony^3 has claimed in public talks that he came from a wealthy family. Either he did or he didn't. Or maybe he's in the habit of telling different things to different folks... Ummm, and that's not so surprising either for one of the 7 G'warves!

Hey Iamallcool, I think the extension is problematic when it comes to file formats.

Finally "they" have reinstated me! that was easy!!!

by Prometheus in

it was rather quick one.

in just few months and after attending all of their meetings and giving them a nice show, i'm back to the org!!!

(what a relief-sarcastic laugh) .

oppostate

it makes me sad that they're promoting college now.

That is certainly not the case. There was a meeting of the CO with elders with instructions that any elder with a son in college could lose their privilege of serving. And Gerrit Loesch's keynote talks at conventions were very clearly anti-college education.

Sixty People Murdered in Nice Terror Attack

by cofty in

crowds celebrating bastille day in nice, france have been targeted by a terrorist driving a truck.. initial reports of 60 dead and 100 injured.. i am losing track of how many similar attacks there have been in europe in recently..

We make religious leaders print and sign their beliefs and hold them to account if anyone does evil because they follow them or is tolerated if they claim not to.

Hear, hear!

That's the way to deal with the fundamentalist terror in religion.
--Or any other loud mouth that breathes murder and violence for whatever reason.
If you incite to violence you should be held responsible!

What devastating news, though! What can citizens with guns do against a truck mowing down civilians? I feel so very sad for the victims and their families!

Serena

i was watching serena win yet another wimbledon title recently (congrats to her) but it got me to thinking about her for a moment.

she identifies herself as a jw and if you look up any info on her it will tell you that her religion is jw so that means that she herself and the rest of the world identifies her as a jw.. for those of us who are df'd as well as those of you who are about to be df'd what is the reason?

and what is the main difference between a df and a fade away?

oppostate

The 0rg instructs elders to make an investigative shepherding call on anyone claiming to be a JW who is not abiding by current JW standards of doctrine.

If they don't claim to be a JW and have faded for years then the elders are counseled to let the matter be "held in abeyance".

------------------------

Up until the later half of the 1980's, I believe, a non-baptized member of the congregation could be "disassociated" and shunned if they were found to have been guilty of a ''disfellowhipping'' offense.

Then there came ''new light'', probably because of legal problems, that a non-baptized member of the congregation could only be announced as "no longer a publisher" and didn't get shunned to the N'th degree, no but, just seen as "bad association".

Would all those who'd previously gotten ''disassociated'' and shunned now be un-shunned? No.
Such is the WT's new light. (As in less-filling, must be ;- )

Bethel Economy

revelation 6:6 kjv.

6 and i heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, a measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine.. this prophecy starts to be true in south europe bethels..... according to our sources, bethel families have been asked to reduce their food allowance and even been informed that monthly contribution might not be paid.. meantime, one of these branches is sending millions of € every year as donation to other wt structures, not to mention the 7 digit number on their bank account.

bethel members are not blind ;).

Tales from the Special Convention in Helsinki

by internationalfader in

i created a new account since i didn't want anybody to be able to trace this back to me based on my other posts.

i was an international delegate at the special convention in helsinki.

i am an awake pioneer.

Most witnesses enjoy the social aspect of large gatherings...the program just gets in the way of socialising!

Amen to that!

I just can't sit through three days of this Cult indoctrination and re-education program any more. My wife will be going with a group of sisters to the Regional, I'm skipping this one, and TGFT!

The guidelines/requirements when you "apply" to pay for the privilege of attending these international conventions is exceedingly cultish. The WT makes out big-time too! All these tours are way pricey and of course there are lots of freebie trips that get included and paid for by the R&F international delegates, folks like well connected CO's, and of course the GB'ers who are given the celebrity treatment.
