of course, it's always blatant, but the manner that was used in this article was so authoritative and demanding - it's apparent the wt society is losing members and they are amping up the control tactics to keep members trapped.

the article in discussion is on pg.

Well, what shall we do about that?

I want to find somewhere with other people who can "groove" with me.

Is that okay with everybody here?

Holy Laws of God VERSUS Ordinances of the Governing Body.

if the gb are so obsessed with personal and interpersonal behavior, why aren't they looking to holy law, to set their priorities?.

Oh, my birth mother, whom I met when I was 28, was a Stuart-clan psychic-shaman personality who was deep into Astrology. Yikes.

I spent some years with the Episcopaleans, but they took off on gender issues about 20 years ago and never could "graduate" from that topic.

I spent three years in the Quaker Meeting (Unitarian Universalist), some time with the Sikhs, a little with the Jewish (Orthodox, Conservative, Reformed & Reconstructionist) when I was in Florida.

I visited with the communities TwelveTribes and Padanaram, on the East Coast. They were into thought-controls totally.

I attended with the Mennonites and spent a vacation with the Old Order Mennonites in Harrisonburg, VA. Nice people; but very inclusive & exclusive.

Along the way I've gone to retreats with Trappist monks and Quaker Unitarians, and I spent three years in a Catholic parish in West Virginia because there was no other place to go.

So, I've been around. That experience and $1.50 will get you a cup of coffee at Starbucks.

Nobody does the Assemblies like the Witnesses; nobody talks to everybody and anybody as they do. But nobody is as morabund into dogma, either.

So, setting up my own "reflection group" seems to be my only option at this point.

Another question, if I may...

by AGuest in

jw
friends

and may you all have peace!

this is another general question for the board and i ask your indulgence because i am trying to understand how others think.

if there truly is no god/god... what is wrong with the existence of religion?

shechaiyah

Let's remember, it's ALL JUST EXPERIENCE.

All the deceit and all the controls, the manipulations, the fables & myths ... it's a play of interweaving GAME-theories.

Our job is to find a straight path through it all--so that we are wise, so that we understand Causes-and-Effects-in-Time.

We are here to learn how to NOT BE DECEIVED, especially by our own egos.

In that light, all the Games and Players can become rather silly, who buy into it, doncha think?

Hmm?

What a wonderful contribution this is!

Thank you so much.

Well, the GB is chasing people off with their heavy-handed dogmas.

So, let's start over. Yes!

"This is not intended to start a new religious hierarchy, but to allow the free flow
of the holy spirit in peoples worship. This is more a re-establishment of services
held in the houses of devotees, as done originally by Jesus disciples.

This is clearly so.

Okay, so we can dispense with their blasphemy. They are NOT the cat's meow.

We all agree. Okay. So now what? Can't we get together just to talk about how to get along?

Jesus had some very good ideas about this; and I'm still committed to revering a Creator God.

I'm an old lady, and I live among immigrants of the Cathoolic, Buddhist, Sikh, Muslim and non-Faith ideologies. Ok.

I want to start a MeetUP Group, to meet for Reflection, in San Jose for an hour or so per week, no cost to anybody.

I'll support it, and it's GOOD to reflect on Existence and Cosmology and Meta-Physics and ALL THAT regularly.

One day out of the 7-day week, why not just kick back and figure things out?

So, if it costs $30 a month to set up a MeetUp Group for this purpose, how do I go about it?

I tried setting up a "Community of the Galaxy," and it FLOPPED about a year ago.

Zero interest, even though my MeetUp Group Page looked FINE (to me, anyway).

The Torah? http://www.holyconservancy.org/2728.htm

It's the BABYLONIAN (Anu-NaZi) TALMUD that sets up classes of people--NOT the original laws of Yahweh (Jehovah).

Oh. I forgot about that.

Now I realize the "apostle Paul" (who never walked with Jesus, whose story was trumped up in the 3rd century & inserted by church fathers)

says, the Law doesn't matter anymore.

Okay, so WHY is the governing body obsessed with personal and impersonal behavior, separate and different from the Laws of Jehovah?

There is NO TWO-CLASS SYSTEM in the laws of God; NO "little flock" and "great crowd."

Indeed, Laws covering Foreigners state, everybody has to be treated equally and judged equally.

So, why is the Law ignored but the GB pursue doctrines that differ from Jah's Laws?

Just wondering.
