Blind obedience.
Thats all they care about anymore.
every paragraph and every article in this issue is nonstop heavy artillery fire propaganda.
i have never seen a wt so full of logical fallacies, appeals to emotion, appeals to authority, guilt tripping and bite techniques all in one issue!
paragraph 9 states clearly that even though the gb is imperfect, that does not matter, we must obey them anyways.
math has never been a strong suit of wtbts.. see the question from readers on page 30:.
"how long did this inspection and cleansing.
work take?
Looks right to me. So one reference of 3.5 years is literal and the next one a few versus later is figurative? Sheesh these guys have balls the size of basketballs with the way their fit the scriptures around their fairy tale agenda.
Of course 1919 is probably what they want because that's when Boozeford got out of the slam right?
are you prepared for the great tribulaion?
if you are smart you wont miss the newest meeting in a basement near you.. having trouble inserting the pic, working on it.
the article "why we must be holy" ties in obedience as being holy.
there is a subheading in this article that states " prove yourselves holy by being obedient".
par 9 quotes three brothers who had some conflicts, but they went along with the org.
Holy=Behavioral control in WT world.
Just another article to enforce behavioral do's and don'ts.
A biggie I noticed, from paragraph 5.
A heartrending experience for Aaron’s family is recorded at Leviticus 10:1-11. They must have been devastated when fire from heaven consumed
Aaron’s sons Nadab and Abihu at the tabernacle. What a test of faith it was for Aaron and his family not to mourn their dead relatives! Are you personally
proving yourself holy with regard to not associating with family members or others who have been disfellowshipped?

LOL designs!
Sucks if you don't get there early. Standing for hours and listening to WT drivel. I'd rather just die.
after going through all the processes of how they appointed elders in the past they say this:.
"the elders in turn would inform the newly appointed men of their appointment, asking them if they were willing and actually qualified to accept the assignment.
so after qualifying the man you ask him if he is qualified.. .
Article also says the CO will try to go out in FS with the potential candidates.
Serious brownosers will have an advantage.

Ha ha, the great tribulation doesn't look so bad after all, no more meeting clothes, and maybe even goodie night makes a comeback!
i stumbled upon the website e-watchman today and while i didn't have time to read over everything i found this thoughts so far quite interesting.
recently when reading matthew i can't help but feel that jesus warnings about the pharisees also applied to the gb and elders.
actually everytime jesus brought them up i realized how similar they are.
"stay alive till '75.
" remember that?
note: this is the year 5774 not 2014. why didn't they tell you that in 5735 (1975 ad?
ive pasted the following from a uk xjw facebook page.:.
i found out last night that thursday,just gone, a member of the gb came to rosehill congregation in bolton to tell them the gb will now be more active and a more prominent part of their lives, this is to build trust and make it so when they revel new direction in the future, people don't push against them and they follow them.
it's a long shot shot but what are the chances he will be at any other meeting in this district this sunday and how can i find out?.

Well isn't that special? Its not like these guys don't already control who they talk to, where they go twice a week, the kinds of jobs they have, how much education they get, what they can and cannot celebrate, oh and how freaky they are allowed to get in the bedroom.
