apparenlty they are using a broker to do the selling too. Apparently it's in Vermont, NJ.. don't know much else. This is the first I'm hearing of this. I questioned the sales, and pointed out how they are scalling back and selling halls. Consolidating assets in business terms, and apparenlty they are all brainwashed they are sending the money to halls over seas and such. Which anyone with half a BRAIN knows is crap. Cause the scalling back has been going on, before the economy took the big dump.

OMG I'm so glad I faded! If I would have had to sit though a whole 45 study praising that piece of CRAP that the new song book it. I would have to gone to the bathroom several times to be sick. Shows they are REALLY having issues with people not liking it. That NOW they do a whole article praising it. "here you're all brainwashed anyway.. you will like it, cause we said you should like it!" lol Glad to be out of there...... Thank you Blonde!! I aways wait til you summary comes up to call home, incase they asked how the meeting was. "oh yes, I especially loved the watchtower study on the new crap...er beautiful song book" hahaha.. You're sooo appreciated Blonde!!

For me it was when a known married sister to an unblieving mate (Dfed) starting dating another singler brother before her divorce was final. No one asked the DFed husband if the adultry accusations were true. and when a sister. well little old me trying to point it out and expose what was going on. I was chewed out by and elder and EVERYTHING was covered up. She was a friend of said elder. To this day it bugs me.. later I started questioning thing, and bout the whole "blind obiedience" thing didn't sit well with me. how the accounts report were read and always seemd to have a deficit, even though there was like 3 grand in the bank.. (am I the ONLY ONE that did the math in my head and heard that??) I don't even think they read teh accounts reports anymore. I haven't heard one in like 6 months. I was told I just missed those thursdays.. I doubt that. I think the clincher for me was when I heard the Nasa and teh missing day urban legend relayed from the platform. Everyone sat there with amazed looks on their face. I was just annoyed cause it was obviously BS. then I stumbled across the REAL year of Bablyons distruction and the whole thing came crashing down.

golden age aug 25 1926 p.751 "negative gravitation...you may have wondered how accidents will be avioded in christs kingdom....scientists tell us there is enough atomic energy in one fingernail to propel a battleship.
the people of the future may carry alittle of this power with them.

further proof they are morons.. there is NO Atomic Energy in a fingernail. Atomic energy is nuclear. I'm sure the exact quote that they obviously butchered was... atomic energy the SIZE of a fingernail could propel a battleship...

Basically they now know organizms can live in toxic enviroments. Apparenlty some microb on earth, can live and thrive of arsenic. which mean if something on earth can do it, they need to broaden their definition of life for other planets as well. basically they threw out the "carbon based life form", and were forced to redefine life it's self. it's a pretty big finding I think.

when I toured it the tour guide expained how short the breaks are, and you must shower and dress to eat in teh dinning room. So they offen had friends bringing food to them while they stood at their machine. and ate there. NO seconds, no snack machines that I saw. The brother that gave the tour said he often dined out and brought food in off site. LOL he didn't seem to like the food. If you miss your lunch your out of luck is what I gathered. cause everyone seems to have an assigned seat.

JWs love that " new generation" teaching- yes, they do.
by moshe infrom a discussion i had with an active sister this past week.
they had no "issues" with accepting the new generation understanding at all, she said.
all the brothers agreed with the reasoning, apparently there were no protests, murmerings or complaints.

What I don't get is how they don't SEE, that no matter what the generation teaching. According to them Christ has been enthroned as king for 100 years now....and yet no paradise in sight. What king/president or whatever you want to call it. Sits down and plays tiddly winks for 100 years before he starts activly ruling. It makes no sence what so ever! and even the there day equals 1000 years in heaven. Then that is a really freaking long time to do nothing.

WTS: creative days took aeons - WT Feb 15th, 2011
by undercover inthere's already a couple of threads discussing this particular issue of kool-aid version of the wt, but i just had to start another after reading about the creative days mentioned in this issue.. we debate from time to time if the wts has ever officially retracted their doctrine that the earth and all things created are less than 50,000 years old.
there's been some quotes that show them waffling on the age of the planet itself but still sort of holding to the notion of all creation happening within a defineable 7 day period.
how long is a creative day?

wow all those years of my childhood, arguing with my science and history teachers about creation...and now this. I guess they can't argue with FACT anymore, shame that it now makes everyone's actions prior see STUPID.
