i have become more observant at the last couple district conventions of jws faces and enthusiasm and it seems to be very somber.
i remember a couple of years ago i was an attendant at one of the upper sections at the blue cross arena in rochester, ny and in afternoon session at least half were curled up with their eyes closed, some with blankets.
the applause seems very forced and mechanical.
("Every JW event I can recall, the bathrooms always smell like one giant fart. I don't know what it is, but that's always the case."
These arenas are typically designed for events that last 2-4 hours. The discrap crapventions are 3 consecutive 8 hr. days or so. It can easily overload the ventilation and plumbing systems.)
Best explanation for an old doubt.
Too much crap, a simple explanation for everything related to WT.
let's be technical.
the bronze age ended in 1200 bce in devoloped places and later ... aroun 900-800 in other places.
indeed read 1 samuel 13's ending.. the bible was produced not one tiny bit in the bronze age.
But the stuff is from the stone age.
it seems the watchtower staff have made a runaway train with the introduction of the mark jw.org.. the combination of using a gadget driven platform and the fact that the common jw is low educated and easely influenced.
by new occurrings in their religion makes the situation getting out of hand.. proof: gb members wearing jw.org buttons during their speech, gifts with jw.org are given away, umbrellas with the jw.org are available.
jw.org is more important then god, his son and the gospel.. it's the gadget and the jw.org mark that counts.. i am so happy my grandparents are not confronted with these idiots.. it's a runaway train heading to the end of the track.. gorby .
a recent thread made me think about this.
here is a link and a quote from a thread that ran 2 years ago and was started by cantleave.
also please don't tell me or insinuate that i am stoopid .
random = possibility in a small or known number of elements. like skipping musis tracks in a CD.
chance = possibility in a huge or unknown amount of elements. like the number of grains of sand in a beach.
evolutionary mutations happens by chance. like a radiation beam coming from the Pleiades in a crazy angle through our atmosphere hits a "letter" of the DNA of the left testicle of a drone bee while flying causing a mutation in his DNA. see? so crazy we assume is a chance but some assume is Jehovah.
just a quick reminder of the "evolved" culture we live in:.
1- we live in a time where the humanity of a child is not determined by science [chromosomes, dna] but by the feelings of the mother.. 2- gender used to be determined by the objective anatomical, psychological, and genetical differences..now based purely on your emotional self.. 3- philosophy used to be a discipline which sought for ultimate truth, arguments were deliberated, calculated, and worldviews challenged.
humanity sought to know why we believe not just what we believe.
5- We live in a culture where the egg of a bald eagle is more valuable then the life of an unborn human child.
That's because the nutrients, very simple. Nachooooooooooo!
i've been given permission to post news of our friend.. kate hasn't been very well.
not well at all.
i think much of it has been a delayed reaction to her df'ing, the general fallout when leaving the wtbs and family issues.. i just wanted to give you guys the heads up and give you a chance to show how much we care about her.. thanks for listening..
You deserves our concern, after all we are a great brotherhood.
Greetings from Brazil!
so at the convention, one of the talks was about how all people will speak a single language in the new system.
my ears perked up when i heard at the outset "now, we can't be dogmatic about this" because that immediately makes me think that they're backing away from a previously dogmatic stance.
he went on to say that everyone will be speaking hebrew in the new system because "evidently" (another word that gets my ears to perk up these days) that was what was spoken before the languages were confused at bable.
Yeah! Jah-vah's Witnesses! LOL

We'll speak Java.
Everyone will be programmed by Jahova with Java language.
hello new world! LOL
its interesting to find out that there is no evidence of king david or his son solomon.
what about this amazing temple that solomon supposedly built??
there is no arcylogical evidence that it ever excisted either.
There's more historical accuracy in WT literature rather than in the Bible.
Bible it's simply absurd. WT it's twisted absurd.

Almost all of them seems to be ESFJ's.
An ideal GB member must be an ESFJ. Externally focused in a very narrow and concrete way with collective values. In a nutshell ESFJ's are enforcers of the status quo.
An ideal CEO probably would be an ENTJ.
I think Ray Franz was an INFP. INFP's are dreamers...
