...it is not the first time i did this but from time to time when i get frustrated i tend to say things i later regret, like this.. she went to the meeting this past sunday and apparently she heard a talk about watching her associations.
she told me that she was glad to have that talk because the message was timely for her.
you see, the saturday night prior she and my kids were at her sisters house and her sister and friends suggested that she hang out with them sometime.
Yeah, if you're not FOR THE WT, you're against them...thus you're an "apostate" Especially if you're bound to one by marriage or some other relation. Since you're a spouse...you'd be considered an "opposing mate"...and since you're here, yes, and "apostate" as well.
PS, you're "feeding at the table of DEMONS!!!!" Scary isn't it? Happy Halloween! LOL
it was a perfect spring day, and a jazz band were playing in the mall near my work.
in front of the band, two watchtower literature carts stood in solidarity.
i could not work out who were the jws attending them.
Damn, I'd leave the carts somewhere for 12hrs.... Got MY TIME for the month!!! Easiest way into Paradise-EARTH. What a loving provision!
i don't know if this has any legal implications:.
since the identities of the individual members of the governing body have been publicly confirmed (not that we didn't know that before) can that open the way for direct lawsuits to be leveled against members?.
for instance are there any laws in the usa that would open the way for geoffrey jackson to be targetted by the lawsuits from child abuse or no blood transfusion deaths?.
Also...you must remember that now, they are ONLY the GB when they meet about the religious direction of the ORG. They're an entity. Individually, they are NOT the GB or Faithful Slave. Only when together.
Imagine if the mafia only had ONE BOSS of the 5 families (in NY), but that BOSS only existed when the 5 heads of the commission came together for sit-downs. That's what the GB is like.
since rutherford's time, it was taught that the leaders/gb/fds/etc appointed over all the belongings.
so if anybody rebelled or didn't follow who god or jesus appointed over all the earth, it was rebelling against god /and/or jesus himself.
since the new doctrine teaches that the appointment over all the belongings is a future event, then that means nobody has been appointed over all the belongings (according to their own words), so i wonder, how can they still attempt to claim that all must obey them and not doing so is against god himself?
and remember...the 144,000 (even though not all of them are GB members, aka FDS) will be appointed over ALL the belongings then, even though not all were FDS (whom the scripture is supposedly talking about).
Those funny ol' guys in NY I tell ya. LOL
talked to a congregation literature servant's close friend today.
i asked him what he thought about the "no bibles" situation.
he said the literature servant told him that there will be a new bible released at the annual meetin.
either you're happy with the ones you have now....
or the tablets (everyone with them looooves them so)
What's the point of a NEW NWT Bible? stupid!
here is a link to the pdf.... http://www.jw.org/download/?issue=201312&output=html&pub=g&fileformat=pdf&alllangs=0&langwritten=e&txtcmslang=e&isbible=0.
some interesting quotes.... while it is wise not to believe everything we read in the news, it does not follow that there is nothing we can trust.
the key may be to have a healthy skepticism, while keeping an open mind.tone: when the tone of a news item is angry, spiteful, or highly critical, it suggests that an attack is under way and not a reasoned argument.sources: is there evidence of thorough research?
I wish they'd go somewhere and shut da fuck up! Or maybe the Taliban can blow up the Headquarters. something! JESUS!
so these last few wts have definitely eroded my wife's faith in the org.
she is definitely seeing the bs, and i even overheard her talking openly about it to a family member.
good for her!.
last weekend congos around the world studied the second artcile of the famous wt 15th july.. it dealt with the prohecy in matthew 13 about the weeds and the wheat.. while they claim, that the gathering in the storehouse took place after 1914, the gathering to the kingdom of heaven will be right before armageddon.
what they did not mention, was when the resurrection of already dead anointed will happen.
why some of them shine brightly in the kingdom, while others are still on earth ?.
Wheat - Annointed (144,000)
Weed - the Wicked (left out - The GREAT CROWD. maybe they're the dirt) LOL
