  Thanks for posting this.

  I wholeheartedly agree with the sentiment of the article, but yeah, ain't never gonna happen. . . at least not in the US.

  I could see this happening in those "backwards" Scandinavian countries, but not here.

  607 BC vs 587 BC: Archaeoastronomy for Everyone

  even though this is an appendix to the main series, i thought id share this.

  likely, it is not the most riveting video, but im hoping it can empower those interested in starting research into astronomical diaries like vat 4956. some might think its too complicated, but i believe such research is within everyones reach.

  LONDO111 - outstanding job!

  Don't apologize for being boring. Some of the most important things in life are "boring"! To me, personally, this is far from boring.

  Really enjoyed the CONvention....why?

  by punkofnice in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i remember when i was a mind cleansed(tm) jw i would listen to the talks when i wasn't napping.. on the long tiring drive home i'd say how i ''enjoyed(tm)'' the sessions and felt ''encouraged(tm)''.. .....and yet i couldn't recall a single ''point(tm)'' made.

  i couldn't remember what it was that actually made me feel good.. on one occasion i asked the family what they found ''encouraging(tm)'' or interesting.. tumble weed.

  no examples.

  CONventions are a form of dissonance reduction.

  You spend your life trying to reconcile the wacky beliefs and attitudes of this cult with the real world, and month after month that unpleasant feeling of cognitive dissonance grows.

  Spending a few days with thousands of people who nod their heads and believe the same as you reduces that unpleasant feeling.

  Thus, the CONvention "high".

  It really has nothing to do with the actual content of the program.

  Why the "New Light" in the July 15 Watchtower?

  by Indian Larry in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  it seems to me that in the past large flashes of "new light" have come when the governing body was backed into a corner.

  for example the multiple re-defining of what a generation is until it ended up the ridiculous "overlapping" meaning.. what is the reason this time?

  are they worried because the number of partakers has been going up?

  Good. Keep the lawsuits and bad publicity coming.

  My only hope is that they don't settle out of court, but take it all the way, "Conti style."

  7/15 WT- Insane, Far Fetched, Narcissistic "New Light " about the FDS

  by flipper in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i know this article has been discussed, re-hashed upside down in past threads.

  but there were at least 2 points i discovered in here that i felt were pertinent and important to bring out concerning the total control and narcissistic tendencies that these wt leaders possess on the governing body, i.e.

  alleged " faithful slave " .

  Nice summary. You really did a good job of distilling the article down to it's bullshitty essence.

  I'm sure Jesus was delighted to download his personal copy off of jw.org and read how delighted he's going to be
