Wow, the Zerg have an idiot explanation for everything in the natural world, don't they? They are not experts in any scientific field, but they have answers to any scientific issue. How do you spell S-T-U-P-I-D J-W-S?

You are right. I heard about Losch's activity, which led to absorbing some minor apostate movements back into mainstream JW here in Romania. He was also on a witch-hunt which led to DF of some of the communist-era leaders of the Borg in Romania. I think they argued about bringing the Italians to fill in the ranks of the overseers in Romania and the Romanian overseers saw their positions threatened. I know about these problems from a "Jehovah Witness True Faith" forum which does not exist anymore.
Perhaps I was wrong and it was not 2008. What about 2007? I was there, on the stadium of "National F.C. Bucharest". I remember the attendance was 11.000-12.000 people. I remember it rained a little and I was very cold and I put the songbook under my ass. During the bus trip, all the congregation was overjoyed and expected to hear thrilling news straight from the mouth of a GB member! YAY!
I remember 2 of the things he said:
1. We should not worry if our language skills or our emotions do not allow us to say an adequate prayer. Jehovah knows our hearts and he knows what is good for us. And the Holy Spirit intercedes and repairs our prayer perhaps with verses from the Psalms, or other adequate words.
2. Brothers and sisters should hurry and do more in field service since time is extremely short and the preaching work will cease very soon. He said that with a very serious tone and in a solemn manner.
Was he trying to imply some real change is coming in the method of preaching or was he just emphasizing the same bullshit about "end is near, do more FS?". Was he talking about door to door witnessing or about all forms of witnessing? I think he was just giving us the same bullshit, but I would like to hear someone who knows about this event. Does anyone know who was that GB member? I'm so desperate I would call one of the elders in my ex-congo!!!

In my ex-congo there was a brother around 90 years old who slept the entire program and even snored a little. His behavior was tolerated because he was old and still active in field service. During the public speech I always said to myself "Lucky bastard! I would give my earthly hope for the privilege to snooze like this old guy right now".

Did Jesus resurrect Himself?
by brotherdan inthis is a common scripture, but i find it interesting that it is in direct conflict to jw belief.
john 2:19 says, "jesus answered them, "destroy this temple, and i will raise it again in three days.
" the jews replied, "it has taken forty-six years to build this temple, and you are going to raise it in three days?

Challenges Facing the Watchtower Org
by eric356 inive been thinking about the future of the watchtower organization and the challenges it faces in coming decades.
its difficult to address the issue without allowing personal feelings affect the analysis.
many people seem to think that the society will collapse fairly soon, based mostly on the fact that the person dislikes the leadership or cant understand how others can believe the doctrine.

The most appreciated part of any District Convention was the drama piece. The most appreciated speakers were the ones using hard expressions and keen theatrics and rhetorics. So, yes, I think the BORG are headed towards a more "charismatic" approach in all things.
At the last 2 DCs, it was strongly emphasized the concept of "end of the preaching work". This was first time launched at a special meeting in Bucharest, where one of the GB has given a speech concerning the imminence of the end of the preaching work. People were encouraged to make "one final push" before Armageddon comes. I think this visit of a member of the GB in Bucharest was in 2008. If someone knows more about this and the name of the GB honcho who gave the speech, please give more details. I was at that meeting, but I have a short memory.

Secrets to the exit -- so long Watchtower!
by Marie B. Paraison ini agree that truth is progressivewe need more time to understand.
this is the excuse given by the members of the governing body for the changes in their understanding.
should not this latitude be granted the other religions?

Working on the kids...not at ease.
by Aussie Oz insometimes i feel like i am going to lose the 'battle' for my kids.
it's hard when you only get to see them every second weekend and my boy even less now that he has his drivers licence...mates are more important than seeing dad you know.. daughter is the deeper thinking one i think.
i asked her who's message is this to which she made a guess at the witnesses.

I also had this problem. I think this is the reason why I have not left earlier. There were some interesting girls at my congo, waiting to be married and I was a good pick. MS material, pretty good financial situation...I was in a great sniping position. The only problem with me is that I think too much sometimes. So one day I asked myself "are they really what I want or are they what my penis wants"?

Please post all the little things that make no sense about the JWs
by Aussie Oz ini want to collect a bunch of things that i can use to help my son see that the wbts and being a jw makes no sense.. i have a few in mind already.
they have to be things that might matter to a teenager, so doctrine will probably be out!.
(if you have read my last post you will see why).

Black Sheep, I recall an explanation, but I don't know of what origin. The fig tree is supposed to symbolize the Jewish people, the nation of God, and judaism as the true religion (at that time). The Messiah came and gave them signs, and fulfilled the prophecies, but they have closed their ears and their eyes. So Jesus' gesture was a prophecy. He was about to take the divine favor from them (the damnation of the tree)as a group and give it to individuals of all nations.
