this is disgusting!!!

we've all heard that the new song book is really, really, really bad......but i didn't see many examples cited of just how they changed some of the wording.

oh sure, we all know by now how incredibly hard it is to sing along with the garbage they wrote, tempo, lack of beat, odd rythm, timing, etc, etc.

how would you feel..when you are alone with someone, that they are your friend, nothing more than just a friend, opposite sex.

just doing nothing but watching "that 70's show", laughing your butts off.

and then the next day, you have a meeting, and the elders come at your neck about being alone with the opposite sex, who happens to be your friend since second grade!

in one of the new pieces of information in the new elders manual - section 5:18 - it shows how elders are instructed to keep all judicial committee information private from media or attorneys.

keeping in mind how secretive the wt society has been in hiding child abuse within the jehovah's witnesses notice these instructions to elders now.. it states, " if a member of the media or an attorney representing the accused ( or possibly victims ) contacts the elders , they should not give him any information about the case or verify there is a jc.

rather, they should give the following explanation, " the spiritual and physical welfare of jehovah's witnesses is of paramount concern to the elders, who have been appointed to " shepherd the flock ".

is there a difference?

page 111 of the new elder's manual:.

making known a firm decision to be known no longer as one of jehovah's witnesses.. if the individual is agreeable, the committee should first try to speak with him and provide spiritual assistance.

has this been on the site before? about there never having claimed to be a prophet?
by booby in

*** w72 4/1 p. 200 they shall know that a prophet was among them' ***.

yes, the time must come shortly that the nations will have to know that really a "prophet" of jehovah was among them.

actually now more than a million and a half persons are helping that collective or composite "prophet" in his preaching work and well over that number of others are studying the bible with the "prophet" group and its companions..
