here's the book of exodus.

Public Talks all MANUSCRIPT now???

by hamsterbait in

on another thread gingerbread said (ouch - the poetry is not deliberate!

) that all sunday public talks are now manuscript.. is this why the brothers have been doing babble readings without adding any comment?

so they can just regurgitate words convincingly whether they understand or not??.

It does seem that many, if not all, of the DC talks are manuscript.

Time for this Newbie to say - Hello everyone!

by SeventhSojourn in

in just the several months i've been lurking here, i have benefited from many of the posters comments and viewpoints.

this is truly a special place for the unique community that has been created here.. after years of holding off my exit from the org (that may be another post) i recently became officially out (by letter of da), but it was a very difficult process as many of you know.

thankfully, i now have my wife (was also a witness) onboard and we support each other.

What on earth happened to the magazines?

by slimboyfat in

for the first time in years today.

to say that it took me five minutes to read the whole thing would be to flatter the rag.

it doesn't even seem to contain actual articles any more, just headings and bullet points and pictures.

God has a long history of using bullet points. The Ten Commandments comes to mind.

Does Watchtower ban Movies, books or songs?

by zound in

Reason #453 that Jehovahs Witnesses are a cult: they portray themselves as believing one thing to the public, but it is the opposite behind closed doors.

One CO cleared up the WT doublespeak to our body of elders saying, When the society says they "suggest" or "recommend" that you do something, what they really mean is "this is a directive."

So sure, they don't tell you what you can or can't do, they just "encourage" you with some "helpful suggestions" and if you don't heed them, get used to the chairs in the back room.
