april 22, 2012 to all bodies of elders re: reading scriptures at the watchtower study.
OMG!!!! See the GB is not Controlling, micromanaging, or OCD about things that matter not at all!
Imagine if they payed this kind of time and attention to - I don't know - actually helping people?
Or - if they were concerned about teaching elders to be able to think on their own (even trust them to) about non doctrinal matters?
I truly hate them with the heat of a supernova!
we all know that the society claims that jesus invisibly chose the bible students (forerunners of jw) in 1919 to be his organization here on earth.. yet, as we know, so much of what they then taught and did was wrong according to current teaching and practice.. the reply witnesses will give is something like "they were the most sincere seekers of truth blah blah...and jesus could see their potential".
so, pretend for a moment that the current organization and the 1919 organization were both in concurrent existence at the time he invisibly came to choose.... which would he choose?
the current or former?.
The Atheist movement.
Since they are not the ones who are ever convicted of Mass Shootings - Strapping on Suicide Vests - Steeling billions for god "cuz he always needs money" - help people regardless of what fairytales, color of skin, or what country they live in...
3 missed calls from my jw brother last night.
i didnt answer because he's actively shunning me and when he does ring it always to preach to me about how we're so close to the end and how i should "humble myself before the mighty hand of god" .
he then texts me saying "we need to talk".
FIVE EVENTS TO COME:
Proclamation of “Peace and security!”
Nations attack and destroy “Babylon the Great”
Attack on Jehovah’s people
War of Armageddon
Satan and his demons are abyssed
I always - even as an elder - had a hard time with the line that "If you dont serve doG now when its easy, how will you when things get hard at the GT.
Thats really like saying - people wont be motivated to leave a burning house when they see the flames.
GEE WIZ - if the UN takes over the world and eliminates Religion - and US Troops put their mommies and daddies in jail cuz they want to keep their religion - and then after that "the turn their attention to the only religion left" - YEA I THINK I MIGHT TAKE NOTICE AND BE MOTIVATED TO RETURN TO DOG.
we might have a fully functional community from this forum.
I would have either persuaded my childhood dream of working for NASA as an engineer or scientist, or become a fiction writer or a political speechwriter.
jw believe that jworg is the best website and most translated in the world.. i heard this today in streetservice.
there was already a thread about this subject.
anybody can link it?.
YEA its amazing - wonder why Carvel Ice cream cant have its site translated into 180 languages?
I guess its cuz god does the programming for the WT?
I know IBM could never handle such a Herculean task!
Though they may not have a need to translate into Mamuju!
what i'm saying is the white race is the only one that has a verity of eye and hair colors , so what gives?
is it that this race was influenced genetically by a group of pre humans that didn't mix with other races?

Why are Apples so different?
We need to get to the bottom of that!
i saw the recent video that the borg put out about the trial in russia and how pleased the russian brothers were that a member of the gibbering booty, brother sanders, came to support them for six days.
well, there was a one-day delay in the trial which enabled the russian witnesses to have the memorial in their kingdom halls.
well, brother sanders was very quick to point out that it was very evident that jehovah intervened to enable the brothers to celebrate the memorial.
So ask the GB - what about next year? Next Memorial?? And the one after that???
this was partly discussed in this thread: https://www.jehovahs-witness.com/topic/4853755331739648/these-common-jw-beliefs?page=2#!#5701815683252224 but i wanted to delve into the topic of yoga even further.. it seems watchtower have no clue what yoga actually is, or what it can achieve.
i myself dont practice yoga, but i do meditate and see the benefits of that.. here is an artical from watchtower 2002 with my commentary:.

I think Yoga is 100% fine BUT its always associated with wearing tight fitting exercising clothing!
We all know that is THE TOOL OF THE DEVIL!
Don't make me play that Tony Tightpants Video again!

i know most of you don't know what anonymous is or what the real 4chan is, but both are saying that their global meta data is pointing that now with south korean elections going to a pro war candidate (moon, who is a psycho) and china saying there may be no other solution, north korea will strike first before the end of this year.
japan has called up reserves.
take it with a grain of salt.
silly.
we are sick with sin and we’re trying to get well, right?
2. when you hire a coach to get you to the playoffs and win the big game, yet you lose...lose...lose.... do you fire him, or, do you keep him on?
well, then, how do you explain fred franz being made president after the 1975 fiasco?.
It comes down to - the bible sucks so much - you can make it say anything, explain anything, excuse anything.
And all you need is to have people believe YOU are the channel - the above is so easy to do.
If the bible were from a "god" it would be clear, unambiguous, unspinnable, and globally accepted.
