  For those that've been out of the borg for 25+ yrs

  by Jigrigger in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  if we were to go back to the borg, would we see any marked difference in the attitudes/environment in the organization?

  would it appear more liberal or more strict than it was 20 or more years ago?

  or would it appear that not much has changed?.

  Hey Dad! Why not wait a couple o' days...

  by Jigrigger in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  if one were to take the bible very literally as some folks do with regard to the scripture that says a thousand years is but one day to god, then the notion that god would send his "son" down to earth when he did imo doesn't seem too brilliant a move on god's part.

  i can picture jesus saying "hey dad, if we wait a couple of days we can do this live on cnn.

  maybe you could pull a few strings and i could get on larry king live, maybe even the tonight show...you know, do a couple of miracles and the whole crucification thing live via satellite - the whole world could see it all at once - if we do it your way it could take a couple thousand human years to spread the good news.

  WHY Society banned smoking

  by Jigrigger in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  in a recent post by rado, he mentions a report on religious violence in georgia.

  ".....they filled the baptismal pool with diesel fuel.".

  so i figured this probably happened once before, a long time ago, and was the reason for the ban on smoking.

  jws don't peddle literature for the wb&ts.

  the actual peddler is the corp itself.

  the members are actually the buyers in this operation.

  Dateline re pedophiles I hope is just thin edge...

  ...of the wedge, and not just for the jws - although the jw might experience more rejection during door to door due to the fact they got featured on a major network during prime time - but for any other high control groups as well.. i can't imagine that it should be very difficult for the jw leadership to effectively spin it so that there won't be much in the way of immediate problems coming from within the organization, but just as with the r.c.

  's, once a few start coming forward they can empower others to do the same until the little trickle they once were able to manage becomes a torrent that forces them to come to terms with the problem.
