since dunsscot claims he's leaving this board, and in answer to my specific request for a committment to answer all replies i might give to his latest replies to my previous dissections of his nonsense he said that he would not, i won't be giving a detailed reply to him.. however, dunsscot's posts contain a number of statements that prove how easily the watchtower society fools the jw community by lying to it, either outright or in so many words.. in this post we will examine a fiction that the society has managed to get poor people like dunsscot to believe with respect to c. t. russell, namely, that russell never claimed that he was "the faithful and wise servant" of matthew 24:45. the simple truth is that russell did indeed believe it.
the fact that he did was printed in the watch tower, and the society itself taught it until about 1927.. let's first look at the context of dunsscot's denial of this important bible student teaching.
in the set of exchanges below, the reader can see that dunsscot is attempting to deny that jw leaders claim to be god's exclusive earthy spokesmen.
(clucks tongue in sympathy) Gee dunny it sucks to get called on your total lack of integrity, doesn't it? Now remember, you aren't an elder here either, so don't tell folks what to do! Pointing out your idiocies is not negative OR dishonest...but it is typical of your Jdub mindset to try to diminish your own culpability by pointing fingers. Strain that gnat dunnywiper!
LOLOL at dunny, who is one of the most stunningly dishonest pseudointellectuals Mommie has ever encountered. LOLOLOLOLOL!!!!

You can always rely on Duns to evade the facts. He can never be accused of honesty...
i have been searching the net for some excellent sites on the masons.
this past weekend we went down to nc for a wedding and my wife and i broke the news to our nonjw family that we were no longer involved with jw.
i could not believe the open arm welcome my uncle and aunt were almost in tears- they told us we have seen you come home each yr from the main office in ny and then you got married and you would come home and we wanted to say something about the jw but you seemed to be so well respected by the local jw - whenever we would tell folks that our newphew was up in ny- the jw would get all excited- they told us they thought it was so sad for i only made $90 a month.
Don't know much about the Masons, James, but I do know that my husband's great-grandfather was a Mason for many years and his wife was in Eastern Star. We inherited some of their Masonic stuff recently. The Masonic Bible is a big deluxe version. I'll let you know if it seems to be too bizarre after I examine it. The only other thing I know is that the jewelry is pretty cool. Little gavels, engineer's tools, that sort of thing, pins & tietacks etc. all of Masonic emblems. WHile researching the jewelry I found a couple of Mason websites but they don't tell you much do they?
ginny, you said, .
i understand the thinking, i guess, it's just that i was never (am not) that way.
if i am a laughingstock, it is only because i believed the way you presented yourself.
I can hear Denis Leary singing a song about Teejay...y'all know the lyrics, sing along!
yesterday, in this thread http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/forum/thread.asp?id=9805&site=3 i spouted these words: happened to drag rays book, isocf from its hidding place in my car....at lunch time today.. i opened to any page, i needed to brighten my day like no other j-dub borg book, could ever do.. .
i found a deception for the many newbies, trolls and plants that have been visiting us here in spiritual paradise, aka:simons board .
i cant post it till tommorow, because i cant bring that book into the house while the j-dub wife is trolling around.
This one is particularly insidious, IMO, Zev, because it is a clear example of teaching KIDS to lie UNDER OATH!
When I was a kid interested in theater and music, I was told by an elder in no uncertain terms that the whole entertainment business was a waste of time, funded by filthy blood money. My mom was hounded to keep me from playing in the band or singing in the school choir. Did this attitude change after 1986? Why do I doubt that?
Can you imagine the way those kids must feel, lying in court, too scared of Jehovah's imminent wrath to tell the judge how much they hate the restricted JW life and what amount of coaching it took to get the answers 'right'?
I almost puked the first time I found the Custody booklet online.
A warning for you Zev: it never gets easier. The more you research the more deception you will find. The Society has a pattern of behavior; when I read the news articles about the building of the Patterson complex I was just sick at the way they manipulated events to make themselves look more 'normal'.
And JWs wonder why some of us are bitter and angry! Those of us who sincerely believed are the most sincerely shocked and outraged over the truly heinous behavior of those thugs in Brooklyn.
Shepherds wear wool and eat lamb. It would be good to remember that when dealing with self-proclaimed shepherds of men...
is an example of farkel's work online?
if so, would someone please provide the link?
i've been told that it takes him up to a week to compose one of his pieces of work.
Teejay, you really are entirely clueless, aren't you?
I KNOW Giiny. I've LIVED IN her house. Our kids have played together. I've met her mom. SHE'S NOT A MAN!
YOu came right out and called me a liar over this, you smegging ratbag. One thing I am NOT is a liar. Ginny made a joke, you moron! A SMEGGING JOKE!!! But Clueless Teejay isn't about to let go his pitbull insistence because TEEJAY'S A A SMEGGING MORON!!!!! It matters little that Larc & his wife, Java, Norman, Alan F and his wife, to name just a few, have also met Ginny. Of course, Clueless Teejay will have to insist they are all liars too, won't he?
Some of us have been communicating online for YEARS, asshole. We've met one another, socialized, emailed extensively, helped and encouraged and swapped research for YEARS. When that histoy comes to a message board, it may seem to the clueless to be cliquish. It's not. That's YOUR inferiority complex kicking into overdrive. Your idiotic responses serve only to make you look like the jealous and uninformed BOOB that you truly are.
For the last time: Ginny T is not a man. I know you prefer to pretend she's a man because it conflicts with your sexist worldview to even imagine a woman could be that much smarter and funnier than you could ever dream of being. But again, that's YOUR inferiority complex rearing its ugly head.

Look Ginny! Teejay is still pretending you're a man! He called you 'dude'!
Let's see...he can't tell when a woman is making a joke...
he hasn't read the basic ex-JW websites widely enough to know what name Farkel writes under...and he apparently didn't read any of Farkel's essays when Big Jim posted them on this board even though there was a flap about plagiarism for several days...
yep, still predictable, good old Teejay...he's not a bit lazyminded...or envious...
for those who chowed down for years on the watchtower's "spiritual food" (who was that talking about schit on a schingle in an earlier post?
) and thought you were getting christianity, and have now left the table of jehovah-of-the-watchtower... .
and purged what you consumed.... and still haven't given up on christianity - (hey, jesus did warn of counterfeits).
Guess I'm alone in hating the Narnia books. I thought they were sexist, smug, suffocatingly preachy. I never could figure out what all the fuss was about; they struck me as inferior children's books in the Victorian moralistic style. They bored the sox off my kids too. I tried reading one of the science fiction (Perelandra was it?) and it was just boring as hell.
My kids tried watching the PBS version of 'Lion WItch Wardrobe' and it totally failed to hold their attention any more than the book did. They seemed to want to like it but it just couldn't hold their interest.
I would much rather see my little one read Ursula LeGuin's 'Earthsea' trilogy; those are ripping yarns with complex characters, moral choices with realistic consequences, and written with genuine style and without any hint of Christian preachment. Much saner and more satisfying than recycled hohum Jayzez myths.
...or least favorite?.
just for fun of course.. i just posted on the top 10 movies to take on a desert island and it had me wonder.. anyways....as to my favorite:.
"there is no spoon.
"Gomez, last night you were unhinged. You were like some mad howling beast. You frightened me.
Do it again..."
i am going to let j. r. brown look this one up for himself,.
from day one of this issue being raised the watchtower has maintained there is no problem with child molesters being shielded within the community of jehovahs witnesses.
the questions that beg to be answered are: .
And dilettante JW apologists have the CRUST to come here and ask ex-JWs if we are monomaniacal! Geez if this sort of travesty DOESN'T focus and sharpen our resolve to turn the Tower's slimy foundation over and expose the vermin hiding behind it's walls,we would be less than human!
Each and every one of those sick cultists is guilty of abusing the victims all over again. And they have the smegging CRUST to talk about OUR lack of morals!
I keep thinking 'Mommie now you are unshockable, you've seen the worst that cult can dish out' and then POW! They manage to sock me in the solar plexus one more time, and I am again amazed that they can still shock me!
Always always it's the BABIES that eat the most shit in their cruel hippo hierarchy.
Defending a convicted perv...how low CAN they sink before they drown in their own sewage?
