Max Larson's archived experience on tv-jw-org includes an AWKWARD statement

by Gilgamesh in

this isn't about anything sordid (or morbid, or reported that knorr did).. it's just that i found an odd-sounding statement in the archived interview that appeared at about 31m20s in the december 2014 monthly tv.jw.org broadcast (or at 4m35s in the stand-alone larson interview also on tv.jw.org).

it seems to reveal an attitude that you'd think would be obsolete about the power of the anointed.

in the attached image, as captioned by tv-jw-org, he said: "every overseer was anointed .

When I watched the video it was hard to believe that anyone would call JFR, "Pappy." But Knorr called him "Pappy." I remember at Bethel, you sometimes heard Knorr referred to as "Pappy Knorr." I can't see how anyone would give either of them such a nickname based on their natural personalities. Seems like a nickname they wanted to be called.

Interestingly, some Catholics call the Pope "papa," eg "Papa Francis." So much for no hierarchy.

I get the feeling that Rutherford would be more aptly named "asshole" than "pappy."

Death is not something to be feared!

by iconoclastic in

science can explain how of things, but it cannot explain why of certain things (for example, why did life arise from non-life and evolved from simpler creatures to more complex life forms only to die and disappear?

) so are the conflicted religions whose chief concern is in safeguarding each ones separate identity..

next option is to look for pearls among the stonesusing power of our own reason.

i'm sick of.... ...having an elder i barely know invite himself over to my house, and bring another asshole elder with him, you know, to "see how i'm doing" f-ck them.

...having same elder with all insincerity approach me at the beeting and before inviting himself over, ask, "how are you doing?

" then when i say everything is great, go ahead and invite them selves over anyway.

Don't like unannounced visits from pesky elders?

Knock on their door at 6AM or 10PM and ask them a stupid question like if it's going to rain tomorrow.

If they give you any trouble, tell them stop calling unannounced at your house, and you will do the same.

Watchtard Dancing Around the Word "Rapture"

by freemindfade in

there were so many things wrong with this weeks watchtower, its hard to pick one, but one that really bothered me was this watchtower business and their delivery.

i have never seen them quite have to explain something away like this in a study article like this before.

shows me they are battling people feeling confused.

Exactly ISLAND MAN. . . . they're not CREATIONISTS because they don't believe the earth was created in 6 days; when they ask for money it's not SOLICITING because that would mean they send you an envelope requesting a specific amount be sent in; they don't meet in CHURCHES, they meet in KINGDOM HALLS . .. . .

The JW Newspeak knows no bounds . . . .

Canadian Bethel among the secretive charities

by gone for good in

http://www.thestar.com/news/gta/2011/11/15/audit_of_charities_encounters_resistance.html.

interesting canadian information on popular charities.

regarding the "cushion" factor that mentions how many years these charities could continue to function without a single donation remember that the wt brranches download all proceeds directly to new york.. classic cult conduct in handling donated fundswith minimal transparency.
