The TOPIC which may never be discussed!
by Terry inquestion: how does the leadership of jehovah's witnesses instruct its members to prepare for the eventual elder care of its members?.
answer: it pretends it will never happen!.
is this responsible leadership or some kind of cognitive dissonant malfeasance?.

- It is deliberate social policy based on conscious FRAUD.
- Oh yea, it's a cult
These two statements are based on the evidence (and fruits) the WBST has produced...all anyone needs to do is read the literature and a simple review of their history.
I was talking to an MS yesterday (about similar things) and his reasoning was Jeh always used imperfect men So i planted a few seeds---hope they grow and don't backfire on me.

If it's consensual sex then let it go...
The norm seems to be here in the USA...if the male is over 18 and the female under 18 they want to castrate the male...
In some country's the age is 12...Like Angola it's 12...is that wrong? Who makes up the rules?

My chat with 2 Dubs yesterday about UN membership
by jookbeard ini live close to a resonanbly busy street, 20 odd shops banks, a train station,a couple of cafes and coffee shops etc and usually see dubs doing street work close to the station and i'm now on nodding terms with an elder who is out most days of the week and have got close to recognizing most of the hard core of about a dozen of them , i was walking out of the cafe yesterday to be greeted by a couple of newbies i'd never seen before , a scruffy short dumpy man and a fairly well presented middle aged lady, i'll try and abridge the conversation as best as i can, we must have chatted for about 15 minutes and it was all in a good mannered style;.
me " have you sold many of those this morning ?".
jw guy " oh no we dont sell them we give them away for free" (like i didn't know that).

- He gave the illustration of using the Judicial system to defend our rights to preach the good news. So the WTBTS is just making use of the Superior Authorities like Paul.
Could Be "Weak Analogy"
Explanation
Arguments by analogy rest on a comparison. Their logical structure is this:
(1) A and B are similar.
(2) A has a certain characteristic.
Therefore:
(3) B must have that characteristic too.SW

Good advise...but a person needs to be in control of their own mind in order to make application of these suggestions. As for me it's been over 3 years of awakening, and to get complete control of my mind took about 2 of those years... my cult controlled mind kept pulling me back to thinking they were still Gods chosen group.
However that is not the case now...so I can and are making use of these suggestions. Yes life is short, and if there is something else...we will have to wait and see.
True freedom is a conscious choice, not an impulse or action under threat.
It can at times be a decision to do something you may not necessarily want to—Why because it’s the right thing to do.
SO LETS BE PRATICAL AND DO SOMETHING USEFULL! (good advise Terry)Sw

Psychological Effects Of Believing Jehovah Is A God Of LOVE As Taught By The Governing Body
by frankiespeakin inconsider the type of deity the governing body worship, and whole heartedly endorse:.
jehovah.
jehovah is the type of deity that requires "exclusive devotion" and gets extremely jealous of other gods, even if they are just made of wood overlaid with gold or idols.

Yes Jehovah is a mean vindictive murder... Who will as he likes to put it as "righteous indignation" on those who can not defend themselves. The opposite of love. So yes it is impossible for me to look to him for any comfort or shelter as he is the one we seem to need protection from.

LIVING UP TO THE CRITERIA : to be supportive of the UN Charter and disseminate information regarding UN programmes and activities.
