one thing i miss about not buying vinyl now is the artwork on the album cover.

post some of your favorite album covers.

If this doesn't scream cult, what does?

by LostGeneration in

from the now infamous 7.15.2011 wt.

page 28, para 16 and 17-. we can enter into jehovahs rest or join him in his restby obediently working in harmony with his advancing purpose as it is revealed to us through his organization.

(italics theirs-not mine).

I noticed that it says, " choosing to follow an independent course, we would be placing ourselves at odds with God’s unfolding purpose. This could endanger our peaceful relationship with Jehovah."

It says it "could" endanger our " peaceful relationship with Jehovah."

In the past, they would have said it definately would. No?

reading the posts about the 2011-7-15 watchtower about mentally retarded apostates i foresee the following scenario:.

1. congregational elders trying to get grip on non regular publishers and inactive witnesses.. 2. the good ones read in the watchtower that apostates are to find in the local congregation.

3. inactives like me (i hate this name, but i use their language), and liberal witness like me, will be hunted, .

So what does it say exactly? I haven't read it

Is Satan actually a liar?

by Scooby-Doo in

you positively will not die.

for god knows that in the very day of your eating from it your eyes are bound to be opened and you are bound to be like god, knowing good and bad.".

did satan actually lie to eve?

NikL

What always struck me about the story is the TRUTH Satan told. He said their eyes would be opened up and they indeed were.

The only reason they died was they were driven from the garden and weren't able to eat from the tree of life.

Therefore it wasnt eating from the tree that killed them. It was God.

so my wife who is an active sister got an "invite" to the dedication of the new hall in our town.. apparently it's a big deal 'cuz some big whig from krooklyn is coming to deliver a talk, yada yada yada.. my question, why spend the bucks to fly some old geezer out to the west coast for a building dedication?

is it not officially a kingdumb hall without his coming and having a big ceremony?.

just curious about your thoughts..

I am with you Wokeup. I think that's kind of what I was getting at.

When I asked my wife about who is paying for the geezers trip out she said someone must have payed his way. LOL Yeah every poor old sap in the borg is paying his way.

I also asked what the purpose of dedicating it was. I mean they've been using this hall for most of a year already. She said it was just a way to let all the voluntiers that worked on it get a chance to see the finished product. Sounded kind of like a flimsy excuse to me.

TO top it all off, it's by invite only. You actually have to have a written invite to get in! Who payed to have those printed? What if I just wanted to gatecrash the party? Not that I would want to waste another hour of my life there. I am just curious.
