  Come on! Tell it like it is. People are LYING when they tell you, "I've read the Bible."

  I read the Bible from cover to cover, even all the pointless genealogies - at least twice.

  Also, the Aid book, completely. These things led me to questions about the legitimacy of the "Organization"

  The Real Reason For No More Bookstudies.

  by ctrwtf in

  so i was just thinking about my days at wtf and driving out for book study when it dawned on me.. bethelites are given a stipend for travel based on nyc public transportation.

  depending on how you pay let's just call it a $5.00 round trip.. if you drive your care you're also reimbursed for mileage at the standard irs rate.

  let's round that down to .50 per mile.. if four bethelites get in a car and drive an average of 30 miles to the (former) bookstudy the society is spending 4x$5.00 for the stipend plus and additional $30.00 for mileage.

  Probably not THE reason but one reason amoung many.

  They may fantacize about tightening control, but in fact, this moves in the opposite direction. Why?

  Df'd people can get the KM. Whoop De Doo..... but it continues this growing 'we don't give a sh*t attitude' within the Organization.

  All KM's standardized? This tells you that the content is even more dumbed down and pointless. One size fits all.

  KM's are in the public domain? This tells you that they can't say anything too controversial or overtly cultish in them.

  I love it. Give me more.

  so, they are claiming that these new partakers associated with their site are not being df'd.. i understand that two witness guys run this site.

  can anyone confirm that they are not df'd?.

  You really don't get it, guys.

  You can partake and they'll think you're weird but no big deal. That's not the deal here. They're telling everyone they're going to heaven. They Df'd people back in Ray Franz's day for that. "Apostacy" by their definition and within their own history.

  If they aren't reacting, then why? I go back to: they are intrigued by the idea or they don't care beyond $ and assets.

  144,000 New Light update

  by goingthruthemotions in

  i updated the list of partakers to 2013 (see below)...if i was to predict as to what new light might be coming down the borg poop shoot may be.

  i would predict that they need to do something about the 144,000 being a literal number.. for two reasons:.

  1. the number of partakers is increasing every year.

  I'm truly amazed - or just appalled - at what Witnesses will believe. They could throw Rutherford under the bus and Witlesses would rejoice uncritically, "woo-hoo, we can all partake now!" or "I always thought so !" A few old timers will be upset but they'll take it to their graves and never rebel.

  They can get away with it if they want.

  And while we're at it, wasn't Dunlap Df'd for much the same reason after he wrote the 'Commentary on James'? They basically tossed an elderly man in the street in one of the most despicable things Bethel ever did....

  largely because he preached much the same stuff as the Anointedjw website.

  Duh.....

  Any Witness who teaches anything that contradicts anything the WTS says can be Df'd - and they can be df'd for causing 'division', also. This is how they dealt with people who exposed Witness child molesters. Ask Barb.

  These folks claim they have gone straight to the top with their ideas - the GB. That takes a stamp and some stationery so I believe it.

  So, what does a lack of reaction tell us? If they aren't df'ing people, they either are tempted by the idea or they just don't give a sh*t what happens since they have JW.org and use CO's to liquidate Kingdom Halls.

  or a combination of both

  Whoa, whoa, whoa..........

  Think about this carefully. This is an 'apostate' movement by any fair definition. More than that, this thing could easily 'go viral' within congregations.

  If so, I think that might be a very significant argument from silence.....
