has been blacklisted......told by one of my jw friends on the other side of adelaide that that was said in his congregations public talk yesterday.. p.s.

anyone know what offspring song jw's were warned against listening to???

i vaguely remember it was on their 'smash' album (it's either the song that goes "..demons in my head.." or the one called genocide).

It also reminds me of when we used to have the bookstudy at my house. I had tons of CDs in a tower that was out during the study. One day the conductor put on his glasses after the meeting and decided to read some of the titles... asked me about a few "Alice in Chains" etc... I casually mentioned my conscience was well trained and I was comfortable with my choices.

It lead to a pretty good discussion about music in general as we ended up coming across some stuff he also had (Eric Clapton etc). He passed away a short time later and truly was a great man - humble, loving, intelligent - the anti-thesis of so many other "company men".

I remember at an assembly about 7 years ago they mentioned from the platform Nine Inch Nails - The Downward Spiral (I and upteem other brothers owned it) was cited for it's references to beastiality (it's more "like an animal" as opposed to doing one). They also mentioned TLC's crazysexycool album undoubtedly because it had the word "sex" in it and must therefore be lascivious.

I also remember having a good laugh over a list of artists that made the rounds amongst elders in my area over what material was "satanic" etc. Of course, it read like a "who's who" of my record collection. I remember an elder friend who's favourite album was "Abraxas" by Carlos Santana - which some objected to because of "Black Magic Woman".

My response whenever someone asked me about some lyric in a song they might've found objectionable, was "oh - you are taking that literally - it's symbolic just like the Bible".

Is Blood Thicker Dan Water

some people in this place think that jws break up families.

they say that since jws df unrepentant baptized members and insist on jw family members restricting association with df members that jws try to break up families.

what do you think about this charge?.

>> Non does not sell literature. He gives it away in fs.

The Society "gets paid" whether it comes from the householder's pocket or yours.

You also mention the Faithful and Discreet Slave class is all of the anointed. By what mechanism are the anointed canvassed for their input on what gets written in the Watchtower publications (the dispensment of food at the proper time)? Surely all of the Writing Department must be of the anointed right? With all those anointed at Bethel, they must be queried for their input on articles that are written, correct?

Non - I encourage you to seek out the answers to the above questions and really determine just how much this "FDS" class actually has anything to do with what you are presenting to the public as being from them.

Have you done so?

Brown said: "When people study the Bible, and YOU HAVE TO STUDY IT YOURSELF..."

Outright lie - You are "supposed" to study Watchtower publications with and are NOT to study on your own. Anyone who has been through it knows this is the case...

This is ticking me off...
