I played this game with my wife the other week: Guess the cult.

I cue up a video from one of the three and see how long it takes for her to figure it out!

by raymond frantz in

i posted here a week ago some disturbing news for congregations being consolidated in britain.

a letter was read today from bethel addressed to all congregations in britain that can only be described as the biggest news for years.the main points:.

About 10 years ago, the corporation I used to work for started "consolidating": selling off properties and moving more people into one building. Longer commutes for many people.

This was certainly not done because the business was thriving.

Millerites, Jehovahs Witnesses and Purple Triangles

by Simon in

i came across this after posting another iq video to a different topic.

interesting how much the jehovahs witnesses are featured ... but it is because they are a millenial cult with failed rapture prophecies:.

Interesting Religious Conversation with my Daughter...

by garyneal in

yesterday, my wife was getting ready for the kh and told the kids that they had to get ready too.

i figured, oh well, they're heading to the hall at least i can get the time i need to catch up on some house work and what not.

before i know it, the wife gave up and allowed the kids to stay.

The Quran(which Muslims believe is from God) teaches about hijab. It is open to interpretation in how one implements it.

Yeah, this is something that bothers me about all of the books god writes.

You'd think he could write something a little less ambiguous, not so open to interpretation.

Hell, attorneys do it all of the time!

How about making the announcement that a publisher who is innactive more than one year has "disasscociated himself" and is to be treated like he's DFed.

Yes, DFTS, 3RDGEN has an interesting hypothesis. . . .

Not so much a "test of faith" as far as how much more doctrinal bullshit you can handle. . . .

Or how much more money they want to squeeze you for. . . .

But they just want YOU. Your devotion. They want you serving them regularly, or you're out.

I think a huge change in literature, e.g. combining the WT and Asleep! into a JW.org magazine would be significant. . .

And it would make sense to implement/announce this in the US branch. . . .

But is that something that would test one's faith?

"No more public WT? Boo-Hoo! My faith is shattered!"

My personal opinion:

Definitely not any doctrinal change. That crap changes at the annual mtg.

I think this has something to do with MONEY.

LOSTGENERATION might be onto something as far as tithing. Perhaps the US zone will be accorded the "privilege" of being the first in the world where they will test this new pilot program for tithing, although they won't use the word "tithing." They'll have invented some Watchtower Newspeak word for it.

But what about that Russell quote about soliciting funds? some may ask.

Russell Schmussell. He was never the FDS anyway.

Or. . . .

This could have something to do with the whole Kingdom Hall building racket. . . .

Just like Spain got a letter stating Halls will be shut down and consolidated, perhaps they will announce "We have the privilege to inform you that after taking all of your congregations funds, we are now dissolving your congregation, selling your hall, and sending you to a different hall an hour away."

Not to jump on the hog pile, but the comments of a certain poster on this thread resemble the musings of a chatbot.
