  To those who worked with the Public and had Co-workers, would your job have been easier without the Cult mind?

  i was thinking about the decades i worked with a team of people, around 40 give and take a few in this enterprise.

  the watchtower made thing harder with all the guilt along with that push to convert anyone at any point of the day.

  i thought life would have been so much easier if i was not part of this cult.

  Nope. I was simply not superior minded enough to feel guilty about doing what I was being paid to do at work.

  I was told (by several) that I drink like Noah, smoke like a chimney, and screw some short Latino guy. Yet all admit that no one has ever seen these trespasses. (Probably why they still speak)

  My reply: Why does my boy toy have to be short???!?

  Well, at 80 you have no marketable skills, no 401k, and likely no children. Social Security, maybe. You're pretty much screwed.

  very weird article, you can read it here if you can tolerate such nonsense:.

  http://www.jw.org/en/publications/magazines/w20150915/melita-jaracz-blessing-in-life/.

  basically teddy was a super, duper spiritual giant who went undercover behind the iron curtain, sorta james bond like.

  I wonder why they think anyone would care? We're busy trying to keep ahead of bills in this economy.

  Also. Where in the Bible does it say the "two witnesses" must be human? Are not Christ & Jehovah credible witnesses? What about the angles, particularly the Watchers?

  I'd use them as my witnesses were I in such a situation.

  It would be interesting to see the WTBTS try and counter that in Court. The only way to prove they didn't "witness" it is to say they don't exist.

  A JC is NOT a Confessional, in any way shape or form. It is an accusatorial process to protect the WTBTS from lawsuits wherein the "victim" has no anonimity.

  Rape & sexual child abuse laws could care less about religious rules. It's not like the scumbag is going to bring other people along to watch.

  watchtower september 2015 study edition, "stand firm in the faith," paragraphs 16 and 17:.

  following jesus example, we must read the bible daily, study it, and meditate on what we learn.

  along with general bible study, dig into topics about which you may have questions.. you can imitate jesus by meditating on the wonderful promises jehovah has made to you.

  The Angel Gabriel sounds like he has some hella good stories.

  Maybe Melchezideck; but he's probably still alive and hiding out on skid row.

  Why would they use a shepherd to rep God? Oh I forgot, silly me, they don't know Christ.

  Odd how the WTBTS equates itself to God.

  i was thinking about green handshakes, and i knew my wife and i personally would try to slide at least $100 each c.o visit to the c.o.

  if we were low on cash, we'd never hand him less than $20.

  how many of such handshakes does he receive in a weeks time?

  2 Thessalonians 3:6-15 GWBrothers and sisters, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ we order you not to associate with any believer who doesn't live a disciplined life and doesn't follow the tradition you received from us. [7] You know what you must do to imitate us. We lived a disciplined life among you. [8] We didn't eat anyone's food without paying for it. Instead, we worked hard and struggled night and day in order not to be a burden to any of you. [9] It's not as though we didn't have a right to receive support. Rather, we wanted to set an example for you to follow. [10] While we were with you, we gave you the order: "Whoever doesn't want to work shouldn't be allowed to eat." [11] We hear that some of you are not living disciplined lives. You're not working, so you go around interfering in other people's lives. [12] We order and encourage such people by the Lord Jesus Christ to pay attention to their own work so they can support themselves. [13] Brothers and sisters, we can't allow ourselves to get tired of doing what is right. [14] It may be that some people will not listen to what we say in this letter. Take note of them and don't associate with them so that they will feel ashamed. [15] Yet, don't treat them like enemies, but instruct them like brothers and sisters.
