WITNESSES CAN STOP REPORTING FIELD SERVICE!

by The Searcher in

the lawyers acting on behalf of the wtbts/g.b./'mother' during a paedophile case a couple of years ago, have stated on record that - .

a) "field ministry is not controlled or monitored by the elders, the congregation, or watchtower".

b) "an individual publisher's field ministry activity, including the time and manner it is carried out, is a personal matter between the publisher and his god.".

That's classic, thanks.

I think they are allowing it to have shelf life, in other words it will soon be out of date and they already know it.

Interesting read about "Visions" and the brain

by dynamiterose77 in

years and years ago, i had read something in a book that clinically examined joan of arc and gave a hypothesis regarding her visions, using her own descriptions of the episodes and using what she experienced as symptoms.

i can't remember if they had said it was epilepsy or a brain tumor.. i saw this article today and it got me thinking again.

i also started thinking about how in the past, gb has talked about visions/divine inspiration/whatever... russell even endorsed a woman's book where she supposedly spoke to a "fallen angel".. kinda made me wonder....

I've become very interested in the brain since learning TTAT, I made those connections very early and applied it to the bible it's accounts and writers.

Religious conviction and mental illness are a poor combination.

Hallucinations are another matter though and may well expalin quite a lot of it. Oliver Sacks has done a lot of work in this field.

What I really hate....

by Perversion of a truth in

jw
friends

is that i was born into this cult, taught and believed that i was going to live forever, , that i was never going to have to die.

now i am in my mid 30's realizing that this life is all there is and that after that i am dead forever and i am terrified.

i don't want this to be all there is, , i don't want to just live a few years on this beautiful planet and then become non existent forever!

Man that read almost exactly like me except i am mid 40s.

Do you know (i mean KNOW) where your heart is exactly?

This was a helpful leasson for me to learn so that all the pains in my left hand chest area could be dismissed as muscle / intestinal and nothing to do with the heart. I'd spent years worrying about my heart, chest pains and palpitations when most of the time it wasnt anything to do with my heart. My dad died of a heart attack at 58.

Get it checked out of course, but if your heart comes up as normal on the ecg then believe it. Worrying about your heart does nothing at all to help it. Get it checked then learn to relax if all clear.

JWs and the idea of a cult

by dabster in

as i've been chatting with a jw neighbour he has said, "heck, some people think we are a cult!

" and scoffs at very idea.

how ludicrous (he thinks)!

Witness My Fury

They give their own meanings to words to suit their agenda, so of course a negative term like cult could never be seen to apply to them under their definition.

Use the BITE model and they have no wiggle room.
