Okay I believe the Andre thing now.

by Sharpie in

before, i was thinking, this whole thing with the character the writing department has must be a coincidence.

they must use other names?.

nope.

It'd be less subtle if they cycled though characters like names of hurricanes. This here just blows my mind.

Thanks to pirata, here are some more of Andre's "goings on":

g9/09 p13: "We are servants of Almighty God and have done nothing wrong," replied Andre. The commanding officer grabbed a samurai sword from the wall and held it aloft. "What if I kill you now? he snarled.

w94 6:1 p6: On one occasion when his team played a tournament in Italy, they were invited to an audience with the pope. There was nothing spiritually upbuilding about the visit, and the worldy wealth that surrounded the pope upset Andre. His doubts about the Church deepened.

w 11/06 p18: A young man named Andre had similar thoughts [in regards to masturbation]: "I felt like such a hypocrite," he says. "It was a struggle to get out of bed in the morning and face the day."

g95 9/22 p6: French gambler Andre agrees: "When you've got FF10,000 on a horse and there are 100 metres to go, someone could tell you your wife or your mother had died and you wouldn't give a fig."

w87 7/22 p24: Young Andre adds: "The way you act at home is how you really are. When you go outside and associate with other people, sometimes you put on a whole different attitude. But when you're at home in an envoronment you're used to, you act the way you really are."

w92 10/1 p6: Simon Kimbunga and his successor Andre "Jesus" Matswa were hailed as messiahs. They died, but their followers still expect them to return and usher in an African millennium.

g90 4/8 p15: A youth named Andre observes: "A lot of youths wait until they are 17 or 18 to get baptized, which is a little old." Why? "Because long before that they're old enought to make other decisions for themselves."

g77 12/8 p 30: When six-year-old Andre's mother went into labor at home in New York, he was the only one there to help. "Go into the bathroom and fill a basin with hot water," he was instructed, and shortly the little boy "was helping his mother wash and was monitoring the delivery, telling her of the infant's progress,"

What if your son does not like sports?

Andre fondly remembers the hours he spent

gazing at the stars with his son. “We would

set up deck chairs in the cold night air,” says

Andre. “Then we would wrap ourselves up

warmly and, with a cup of tea in hand, observe

the night sky.We talked about the One

who created the stars. We talked about personalmatters.

We talked about almost everything.”—

Isaiah 40:25, 26.

by EntirelyPossible in

we shouldn't post them here because of legal reason, so whatever anyone does, please don't even think of sending an email with a link at [email protected].

that would be unethical and it shouldn't happen.

i hope i have been very clear in that i do not want the link, and certainly not at my personal email address of [email protected].

Thank's for reinforcing the rule Entirelypossible, and just so you know I did not just send you any sort of "elders manual" to the email in your post. If you recieve a email with an attachment however you should still probably check it out anyways, just to make sure it isn't called "Shepard the flock of god.pdf"

What is the most offensive/idiotic piece of WT literature you've read from the past 20 years (approximately)?

by Chemical Emotions in

i think that some of the dumbest were ones that pertained to science- not all of them, but a few, particularly the ones about evolution.

the most offensive (and also dumbest) were the ones about women, and the ones about rape.

those were horrible.

It's a little longer then 20 years but... here is the reason why Jehovah witnesses have beards, and like everything else it's completely unbiblicle

But more equipment was needed. For that reason Brother Balzereit asked Brother Rutherford for permission to buy a rotary press. Brother Rutherford saw the necessity and agreed, but on one condition. He had noticed that over the years Brother Balzereit had grown a beard very similar to the one that had been worn by Brother Russell. His example soon caught on, for there were others who also wanted to look like Brother Russell. This could give rise to a tendency toward creature worship, and Brother Rutherford wanted to prevent this. So during his next visit, within hearing of all the Bible House family, he told Brother Balzereit that he could buy the rotary press but only on the condition that he shave off his beard. Brother Balzereit sadly agreed and afterward went to the barber. During the next few days there were several cases of mistaken identity and some funny situations because of the “stranger” who was sometimes not recognized by his fellow workers.

1974 yearbook, page 97.

Jehovah witnesses cannot have beards thank's to Rutherford. Kinda funny the sisters ignore one scripture meant for them. "And do not let YOUR adornment be that of the external braiding of the hair and of the putting on of gold ornaments or the wearing of outer garments" 1st Peter 3:3

Just a heads up to anyone still in or undercover. Grow a beard after a sister with braided hair has a part on the minisitry school. And use that scripture as a defense too grow a beard.

Sorry for that rant.
