The sisters used to call her ‘ The Terminator’ because so many studies were stopped after taking her along.
Sounds like she did a favor for a lot of innocent people.

How Much Damage Would You Assess?
by Sea Breeze injust as there is no such thing as a christian who worships satan, there is no such thing as a christian outside of the new covenant “for the forgiveness of sins”.
and he took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, drink ye all of it, for this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins.

There is a lot more "fraud" and "deception" from WT than the petty crap you mention. And there is a lot more fraud and deception today from other sources than anything close to WT. (Think used car salesmen.)
Since everyone in their right mind would want their sins forgiven by God,
I think there are a lot more enlightened people who don't give a rats ass about God's (which God?) opinion than those who do.
I think it's going to be really difficult (impossible) to prove that the forgiveness one receives from "God" via WT's plan is any better or worse than the forgiveness from any other such source.

How has 3 years of inflation affected WTC?
by ThomasMore inthe current u.s. administration and the fed says inflation is hard to tame.
it was over 9% at it's peak.
one of the greatest increases is price of food, something that everyone feels to some extent.

If times are so "hard", explain how they keep building additional Starbucks and people continue paying $8.00(US) for a cup of (fancy) coffee when a pound of coffee at the market is $3.50 (cheap) to $10.00 (stupid expensive)?
Or, how long do you have to wait to be seated in a moderate restaurant on a Friday or Saturday night?
Everyone I know is planning a cruise or taking an international vacation (usually Cancun but many are going to Europe, esp Italy seems to be popular).
A "blue collar" union journeyman (carpenter, equip operator, iron worker, plumber) is earning over $40/hr, plus gets free health care (paid by the employer) for the entire family, and has a pension plan (paid for by the employer) that will pay them full pay when they retire at 60yo (or sooner).
Yet I assure you all of these people are complaining about inflation and the cost of gasoline ($3.50/US gal) and the high cost of groceries. Yet, they are buying new SUVs that cost $50,000-$60,000 that get 20 MPG.

Don’t be inactive due to work and medical issues, be inactive because IT IS NOT THE TRUTH!
It is a harmful cult! -

Overlapping Generation
by pandorasbox1914 inthe september 2015 broadcast had david splane explain matthew 24:34 “truly, i say to you, this generation will not pass away until all these things take place”.
his explanation of this scripture was by means of a chart to indicate an overlapping generation.. .
no scripture was used to show the overlapping generation concept, and as a result it makes no sense.. to illustrate how crazy this concept is, look at the lyrics of the song my generation.. my generation.

Thus this proves that the "generation" of Matthew chapter 24, as so clearly shown in this photograph and by my invisible pointer (which is present but you can't see), is made up of two groups not "two generations."
That's almost as confusing as Splane's ex-splane-ation.

Way way way back it was Angelo Manera. (You have to be very old to remember him.) But all JW's had a bit harsher personalities back then.
More recently, a CO named Frank Barr (not sure about that spelling). He was a poor excuse of a CO. They were obviously scraping the bottom of the barrel when WTHQ sent him on the road. His wife was even a worse bitch, especially to the young/teen crowd.
And even more recently, I think they all seem to be "Company Men" who know they'll lose their cushy little job if they let something slip by that costs HQ a few bucks.

Know it’s not true but stay anyway
by Elena inhow many of the millions of jws know it’s not true but stay anyway?.
my guess is most jws know it’s not true on a subconscious level to an extent but they don’t want to think about it too much and would never ever voice it out loud.. but this is probably true with all religions around the world?.

Five generations? Or, one "overlapping" generation?

I might agree that most JWs think that some of it is NOT TRUE, but still they will tell you that IT IS THE CLOSEST TO THE TRUTH that is out there anywhere.
BUT, there are plenty that just lap up the KoolAid and truly believe.

The Elders' decisions are directed by Holy Spirit and are merely confirming the decisions already made in heaven.
Yeah..........right!
