so i picked up a 1969 bound vol set of awake and tower for 9 bucks.
cheap.
the away has some strange articles in it about the end being so close the graduating kids will never need to worry about retirement ect.
You won’t have to worry about retirement before Armageddon because you’ll be dead of old age
This is the stuff my parents and grandparents bought into and changed our family dynamics for 4 fucked up generations( or is it just one overfuckinglapping generation?)
i'm not about to give away where i live or where i used to live, but if you know any of these clusters of people, we might have crossed paths at one point.
(i have added a few "dummy" names to keep it tough.
) most, but not all, of these "real" names are elders.. 1) wicks, anderson, hughes, stafford, adams.
in the 40 years as a jehovah's witness, i never read the bible cover to cover.
the three meetings a week were broken up with book studies, awake and watchtower magazines,and ministry& field service meetings, all written by the watchtower society.
never did we read any chapters from genesis to revelation and discuss the true meaning of what we just read.
my mother became a witness when i was five and i believed that every witness followed what was said at the meetings and the instructions given.
my naive belief carried on until maybe i was 10?
at the old conventions, volunteers would come early and pack fruit into net bags so that it could be sold at lunch.
When I found out that elders could carry on secret sin with no consequences
i'm mean were talking making someone a policy maker for the corporation that can have serious financial consequences.
i'm sure intelligence is not high on the priority list for this noble office being they hate higher education and consider it a waste of time.. i'm sure they would thoroughly know the party line as any self respecting mind control would never choose an original thinker.
i'm also sure a lot of ass kissing happens before one gets chosen as a ass wiping helper which seem to be a sort of initiation into governing body corporate politics and a sort of proving ground to show your determination protect the organization from the enemy be they what ever source.
Appreciating a glass or two of fine scotch whisky would be a requirement I suppose.
so here is something else that helped me wake up -.
the elders manual - shepherd the flock of god contains a special caveat for elders who have committed adultery some time ago (not sure how many years, 'some time ago' is, but probably based on a complex formula of donations and # of assembly parts given.).
but basically, they can just get a talking to by 2 brothers and then they can keep on keeping on.
That woke me up too. Elders get a free pass. Everyone else gets a JC
we all know the society would love to get rid of all the problems caused by clinging to 1914 and all they claimed it meant for the last 100+ years.. it looks like they are laying the groundwork for easing away from the whole concept of 1914. this would also let them do away with the ridiculous "overlapping generation" bullcrap.
what a diaper load that has been.... anyway, the following is from their super secret marching orders for april, 2019. draw your own conclusions.... "3.
“100 years of faithfulness”: the coordinator of the body of elders, or another elder, should be invited to read the following special announcement.
The credit card donation bit I definitely believe. It wouldn’t suprise me that they would ditch 1914. Look back 15 years and see the changes.
Nothing would surprise me at this point
climate change ... who doesn't believe it?
crazy fools and science deniers ... right?.
it seems like it's become the new religion, the new orthodoxy, that must be accepted and believed as gospel and preached to all.. is it ok to be skeptical?.
I think the climate is changing. It always has. Whether or not humans are responsible is up to debate in my opinion.
The province I live in has no sales tax. No government will ever put one in. But we have a revenue neutral carbon tax. It gives low income a rebate on the carbon tax. An income redistribution scheme.
The whole man made climate change religion is just a socialist agenda to take power and wealth away from productive people and countries and redistribute it to the have nots and will nots.
"shortly, within our twentieth century*, the "battle in the day of jehovah" will begin against the modern antitype of jerusalem, christendom.
" (the nations shall know that i am jehovah; 1971; 2nd ed.
fearmongering or scaremongering is the spreading of frightening and exaggerated rumors of impending danger or the habit or tactic of purposely and needlessly arousing public fear about an issue.
At the meeting yesterday we were all encouraged to watch the March broadcast especially Hot Dog Tony and his Armageddon rant. I came here instead. I love the commentary.
The GB are deluded to the point of being scary.
