the man asked jesus who is my neighbor jesus stated the one who acts mercifully toward other humans.
not good enough for watchtower neighbor must fit in three catagories only according to yesterdays wt wow changed the words of the son of god.
Lana my little buttered mushroom
If we wanted a Watchtower regurgitated at us, we'd go to a KH to hear a few dozen mindless drones spew the paragraphs into microphones 'in their own words' of course.
As I mentioned before, some education might serve you well, rather than coming here and reciting 7 old men's drivel.
Are you counting your time and RVs here poppet? Read my lips, we're not interested. Put us down as a Do Not Call.

Lana our precious pumpkin, we are taking exception to the plain fact that Jesus' own explanation of who constitutes a neighbour is not good enough for your magnificent New York 7. They take it upon themselves, as always, to ADD even to the concise words of Christ himself and complicate a simple illustration to squeeze a Watchtower paragraph or two out of it for a bunch of mindless drones to nod along to sagely, you get that, right?
a new letter was posted in jw.org to the elders who are under the brazilian branch:.
january 25, 2016to all bodies of eldersref .
: clap when given a readmission addear brothers:we would like to inform you about a recent adjustment.
I for one appreciate it, it is so hard to not clap when someone is reinstated. It isn’t a huge deal but shows that the brothers are not inflexible.
just noticed this gem of a definition in the current (no 1) wt.
"lying.
saying something false to someone who is entitled to know the truth.".
So if murderous robbers were in your house, and you had hidden your young children, you would tell the truth about their location if asked?
No Lana dear, we would of course in that situation LIE you dear, silly, cloth eared wee bint you. But we would not have to redefine our language to make ourselves holier than thou , we would simply LIE to the bad men. Have you grasped the point yet sweet pea?
it's a 2014 movie and i'm only watching it now.
it reminds me strongly of the life of jws and ex-jws..
hi people,.
i want as much data as possible on the effect of the internet on the time captured by the cult.. please answer the three following questions about yourself or about someone you know (for example, if your parents or grandparents were jw's and left).
1) were you raised as a jw, or did you convert?.
Converted
Baptised 1994
Escaped 2014
20 years
im starting a new thread because its time i left the bergman discussion.
i would like to address some comments made by ahhah, however, comments which have given me reason to look deep into myself.. even then, i wonder how objective a person could ever be after having had part of their life taken from them by a cult association.
on the other hand, who else (other than an ex-jw) would ever care enough to work as tirelessly as he seems to have in attempting to document the potential harm of this religion (biased as it may be).
Well said truthseeker, the occasional texts from elders convince me that as a recent fader they are going after me as low hanging fruit...I just made dinner for my grandson and am looking forward to spending the day with him tomorrow; a small joy that FS for the cult would have put a stop to!
Love the small stuff with the family. Over 20 years in the cult, forgot the meaning of the verb "chill"
hi, i just joined the board and wanted to present myself.. i'm active, in fact very active in congregation activities serving "where the need is great" in a foreign language congregation somewhere in western europe.
as a young brother, i'm seen as an example as i'm doing all a good witness should do.. i had doubts years ago but i decided just to ignore them and move to another congregation to preach more.
that worked for some years but i'm now at the exact same point.

if recent intel is true, there is only a .23% increase worldwide in 2015. .
notice what is increasing is not the average publisher count, according to the above watchtower quote to spin the bethel downsizing, but the work.
"the little one will become a thousand and the small one a mighty nation.
It is OVERLAPPING expanding and the acceleration is invisible
