yes the wt has been warning us about this evil, insidious way of thinking for many years.
it has been described as a form of haughtiness, a form of pride, a subtle form of satanic propaganda.
oh my that sounds pretty scary... .
Thanks for the video and the analysis of bible versus the org uses to support their idea of dependence on them.
Your discussion about your daughter was sweet but does this mean that she equates you to Forest Gump? Maybe you should give her a box of chocolates on her next birthday.
i am an inactive jw.
i havent been on this forum for a few months and have been lurking in others.
i have met a few people in real life and online, both on this forum and on others.
That is an unfair judgement His Excellency. Higher education is not the be all and end all in qualifying someone to take on a leadership position.
I've seen many educated people display egotism, selfish ambition and arrogance and all the more so because they feel their higher education gives them the right to act that way.]
here's the thing,.
the whole aawa idea had noble ideas behind it, but the ship has sailed and the movement needs to go back to the drawing board.
period.
You're not doing much good for the cause Tylinbrando. You're really going over the top and I for one don't like extremism.
Just in your last post alone you say -
"...while all the AAWA Angels run around rescuing the world, ... other board members. All very out and recognizable. All extremely talented also....
....watch them march onto the battle field..." Really, all your board members are not just talented but they are extremely talented. But they're all 'out there and recognizable', you'll find that a team this does not make, rather ego's and personal ambition will get in the way. Yep with extremism like this I'll do as you suggest - "Why not grab your popcorn to sit back and watch the show?"

Cedar's is now in charge over a lot of people, time will tell how many remain.
He's already lost his Vice President and they are only just up and running.
we had to go off grid for a time, time and half a time as we thought we had been outed.
fortunately it was a false alarm, but it was a stressful time.
i asked for my original diary thread to be deleted in case there could be anything on there to identlfy mrs smith and i. i am always very careful when posting, and am sure there was nothing on there, but felt it best to have it removed in order to be as cautious as a dove.
Numbers, stats, reports and forms seems to have overshadowed their real responsibilities. Maybe their heart isn't really in it anymore.
back in the good old days, when god actually spoke to his great warriors, generally stuff they gave to their god was offered up as burnt offerings.
they burned thousands of cattle, goats, sheep, lots of cities and even a few people.
back then, jay hoover got off on the smells of bbqing meat and just generally burning stuff.
Do credit cards count?
with the new light in the july 15 watchtower, now might be the perfect time for rank and file members to question wether or not the big boys are who they say they are.
in light of the fact that the men who claim to be the sole channel of communication for all mankind could not even grasp their own identity for the last 100 years, wouldn't now be a good time to turn the tables on the elders who are so quick to drag a questioning dub to the back room and demand loyalty to the governing body?.
wouldn't now be a good time to put the july 15 watchtower in the middle of the table and ask to see the credentials on these men without fear of being suspected of apostacy?
It is a time for JWs to prove their loyalty to the GB and prove that they accept any rubbish they dish up.
just got word of a zone visit for canada in april 2013, think it was april 8 to 14. sounds like its just 2 members of the u.s. branch comittee, no gb.
however, they plan on showing a talk on april 13/14 to all congregations in canada, not just a select few as has always been the case.. it'll be the same old stuff, but maybe this is why they the watchtower is purchasing all those projectors, like that "confidential" document mentions?
to broadcast things like this in all congregations?.
Thanks Richard for your take on the talk. I'd be hopeless at remembering the names but pretty good on the talks unfortunately.
i guess we're persona non grata now.
take a look at what i found on facebook:.
we're firing up the grill again!
It was stated that AWAA became incorporated and Cedar used a bogus name for himself when registering and this is breaking the law. If this is true, it is a wonder that there are any board members left.
36 naked, and you clothed me: i was sick, and you visited me: .
39 or when did we see you you sick, or in prison, and came to you?
lord, when did we see you hungry, or thirsty, or a stranger, or naked, .
They take the scripture as being spiritually but when would the anointed consider themselves to be spiritually sick or in prison?
