"School's Out"

Well we got no choice
All the publisher girls and boys
Makin all that noise
'Cause they found a new schedule
Well we can’t counsel you
Can't find a counsel slip
If that don't suit ya
That's a drag

TMS School's out for summer
TMS School's out forever
TMS School's been blown to pieces

No more pencils
No more Oral Review
No more School Counsellor’s dirty looks

Well we got no class
And we got no W’s
And we got no anxiety
We can't even think of a Bible name to pronounce

TMS School's out for summer
TMS School's out forever
School's been blown to pieces

No more pencils
No more Oral Review
No more School Counsellor’s dirty looks

Out for summer
Out till fall at the next AGM
We might not go back at all

School's out forever
School's out for summer
School's out with fever
School's out completely

It must be a concern of all the information that is now been leaked

by joe134cd in

i have put up previous posts about this in the past, but i just thought that it was worth mentioning again.

it has to be of concern to them with how quickly information is getting leaked.

hell it even surprises at just how slowly information spreads by offical means.

Quarterback

On the other hand. If it is truly an accurate leaked letter, this is a victory to the one that had the guts to release it. Thanks go to whoever that was.

I wouldn't be surprised if nothing is mentioned at the AGM about this recent leaked letter. What we may get just a smile, and a expression, "What? Were you expecting something else? You haven't been listening to those Apostate Websites have you?" They may have leaked it deliberately as a hook.

Lightbulb Moment ------> Two Witness Rule

by 4thgen in

the jw's always say that there must be "two witnesses before a matter is firmly established".

if that is the case, then why is the account of moses and the 10 commandments or jesus in the wilderness talking to satan taken as fact?

moses and jesus were both by themselves in the wilderness.

Quarterback

Excuse me....? Haven't you seen some of Cecille DeMille's BlockBuster Bible movies about the, "Ten Commandments", with Charlton Heston? There were more than 2 witnesses that saw those.

I went down in the first Round!

by John Aquila in

there is a visitor brother in town and from what ive been told, he has been a missionary for many years and they were having a get together for him.

i took my mom to that get-together yesterday and stayed for a few minutes.

i heard a group around a table with the visitor brother talking about how hard it was getting in the world with so many distractions and that many of the brothers were falling into the trap and leaving jehovahs organization.

1 Kings is currently being considerred in the TMS for the month of Oct. He probably is upto date with his highlights. The next time you offer an objection, do the homework

E-Mail, Just recived. About Bethell adjustments.

by DwainBowman in

i just read an email from a friend, and she shared some very interesting emails from her friends about information on changes now happening at the bethels around the world.

here is the email: .

---------------------------------thanks sally, jesus is directing the org and all decisions and instructions to us may not seem practical from now on, neither will we understand the reasonings behind many of the changes that the organization makes.

Quarterback

We who have computers have to help those who don't in downloading Soc material, right now. It won't be long before we print off the Awake, and Wt mag's. That's the next phase of the Lay-offs

Nothing surprises me anymore

My Opinions on whats going on in WT land - Insider Information

by thedepressedsoul in

first off, i'd like to state that i currently have "privileges" in the congregation and volunteer at bethel on and off throughout the year.

that's as much information as i will currently give about myself.. starting off, i think something big is coming in the form of lawsuits and bad pr.

they seem to be batting down the hatches in preparation for something the last few years and even more so the last few months.

Quarterback

I remember when I worked for a large Government Organization. and when the public thought that we had a large Legal Team. Sadly all we had was just one Lawyer, and a few Para-Legals. That one Lawyer was overworked. There were so many settlements made because the legal budget was limited.We rarely went to court to fight the issues. The WT soc reminds me of this. I remember during my younger years in this religion when there was never any worries about money. Now it's in your face way too much. They may not pass a plate around, but there are way too many pictures/videos about the contribution boxes these days

disfellowshipping

by Sabin in

if disfellowshipping was to be done away with, aside from the authorities that should be informed of child abuse so it may be dealt with legally, how should these one`s be dealt with within the congregations?.

Quarterback

Yes, I agree with you, Island Man
