March 2018 Broadcast - When quotes become rumors

by Listener in

this months broadcast is presented by losche and he discusses the need for trust in the fds.

the following is transcribed from the 12.30 mark.. satan also has the scheme to spread rumors about our brothers including the faithful slave.

the method of spreading rumors is not new.

WOW - SO its BLAME the Brother or Sister for what the GB does.

Ask yourself, am I prone to believe rumors

And you should trust us because we can prove we are faithful and true, or because we can prove these "rumors" are false? NO Trust us cuz doG has promised ups immortality. WTF?

Shouldn't we then trust the Slave as well? To appreciate the extent of Jehovah's and Jesus' trust in the faithful slave, reflect on what he has promised it's members. He has promised them immortality and incoruption. Soon, just before Armageddon, the remaining members of the Slave will be taken to heaven.

"I love you" - "I know" - Star Wars

"Snakes, I hate snakes" - Indian Jones

"I have been and always will be your friend" Star Trek Wrath of Khan

"Double dumb ass on you" Star Trek Voyage Home

"I was born in Iowa, I just work in space" Star Trek Voyage Home

Just some on the lighter side off the top of my head, I am too depressed to want to think of serious quotes.

I was quite tolerant of this guy until now

by never a jw in

president trump is definitely a demagogue, a populist, and not a great extemporaneous speaker, just to mention few of his more conspicuous flaws.

however, i was going along because "it's the economy stupid".

now that has changed.

Ha someone didn't like my comment. Talk to ANY economist. They will all say this is BAD for America.

Even Steve the snake Mnuchin advised the Hair Doo in the Oval NOT to do it.

The Tariff will cost many more jobs than it will save.
China wont pay - American consumers, in the end, will pay more for everything.

Republicans Are Not Welcome!

by minimus in

the owner of the used apple store in derry new hampshire has put on his facebook that republicans are evil and they are not welcome in his store.

he has done tv interviews now saying that republicans simply should not try to come in and he can generally tell if someone is a republican.

it is interesting that a business owner can bar someone because of their political opinions but if a business owner conscientiously couldn’t make a cake for a gay couple,they are in legal jeopardy..

I dont belive that for one minute.

The laziness of JW parents....

by stuckinarut2 in

it struck me that the society has created a culture of lazy jw parenting.. rather than parents being there to guide and direct and help their children through all stages of life, the gb / society has become the "go-too" for everything.. if the child has an issue, there is a wt article for that.. does the child need help with something else?

ah, there is a caleb and sophia cartoon for that.. what about that other topic?

ah, there is a book for that.. so rather than being present parents, the average jw parent simply outsources their parenting to the organization!

Ttdtt! Your comment is very interesting too!

It became a painful, very painful realization of fact for me.

Did You Ever Find The Theolgy of JWs Reasonable?

when i was a young man growing up in the religion, i would try to defend whatever the understanding of a doctrine was.

i won a lot of arguments based on the idea that i knew better than anyone i was talking to and defended myself admirably.

(lol)....eventually, i realized i was in a cult but for many years i was a believer and i had faith that the gb knew more that i could understand..

For years I twisted my self into a pretzel to make things jive.
The science stuff I could never rationalize, and I just chalked it put to Old guys running the show who dont get it.

Try Not To Vomit When You Read Todays Text

by pale.emperor in

tuesday, february 27. let the elders who preside in a fine way be considered worthy of double honor, especially those who work hard in speaking and teaching.—1 tim.

5:17.. those related to us in the faith certainly merit honor and respect.

this is especially true of the elders who are taking the lead.

sparky1 - where was that? In a WT publication?

Its all so wonderful. The uneducated men who have the % of making good decisions no better than a coin flip - yet they deserve so much for the people they screw.

And the rest is so nice except there is NO evidence of a Governing Body in the bible - nor any kind of organization as they have today.

Just bullshit that the R&F (like I used to) eat and ask for seconds.
