  Do you remember this WT calendar art?

  these are of early '70s vintage, i recall.

  my job was to sort through thousands of these and be sure they were not "off register.".

  I never bought the calendars, if anyone came to my house and saw one they would immediately spot that I belonged to a freaky religious cult.

  The symbolism of the baptism picture is typical of JWs using "the world" to bolster their lowly status. With a backdrop of the refined classical architecture and the expensive dress and elegance of the female figure; they mislead the viewer into thinking their brand of christianity was about style and high fashion.

  In reality these aspects of life are severely played down today by the deceiving JW organisation. Back in the first and second centuries the christ cults were mainly drawn for the 'great unwashed' peasantry who would have been far removed from the likelyhood of such pretentiousness.

  Yep shunning is one of the easy JW things to do... much easier than knocking on doors.

  It is possible that one of the planets is made from cheese.

  I would say it has about the same odds as there is for there being a divine creator.

  The difference being we can test the nature of planetary material but God leaves no trace, he is undetectable; he has only been found to exist in the human imagination.

  Agreed Sir 82.

  Yes Irish Dame, it's like a forever morphing jigsaw puzzle and the GB see it is their role to make it all fit. Divine inspiration be blowed!

  And another thing, if Jaracz and Barr are up there serving in heaven, why is there no helping hand from them for their floundering comrades in Brooklyn?

  What silly, childish stories they tell people...............

  The stupidity is the belief of the GB that truth can be "progressive", progressive like Barr and Jaracz were. For goodness sake you idiots, truth doesn't change! It is only cult rhetoric which moves forward to ensnare the gullible when the old doctrines are no longer credible.

  I also hear a wistful sigh, "I wish Barr or Jaracz were here to guide us."

  The Watchtower got it entirely wrong. Millions held on to their every word and gave their whole lives to "The Society" expecting paradise.

  The governing body should humbly and profusely apologise as Christians, dismantle the fraudulent organisation and then pack their bags forever.

  But then narcissists are only interested in their own welfare...

  Poor people, it looks like they don't yet realize that JW literature sends people backwards into an Iron Age mentality.

  what do you think about these things.

  it seems like a monumental waste of time and money, a pipe dream of the governing body based on wishful thinking.

  this corporation is going down the tubes with these asshole deluded genius's calling the financial investment shot.. buying chemical dump property around the world to build their financial empire headquarters on while facing massive child molestation lawsuits now and many more in the future means it looking kind of bleak for these messed idiots running things.. http://jw-branchoffices.blogspot.com/p/watchtower-remote-translation-offices.html.

  How delusional is Tony Morris actually?

  by Festus in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  anthony morris iii was representing gb in international convention in helsinki, finland.

  in his final talk he mentioned that at the fight of armageddon jesus will fight together with the 144 000. he then reminds the audience that one angel destroyed 185000 assyrians.

  so what are "144 000 immortal creatures together with jesus going to do".

  Festus I do think that in the talk he gave, Tony sees himself as a hero warrior in a holy death cult. He would probably rather have a machine-gun to kill non believers himself. Sylvester Stallone in baggy trousers.
