there was a wt study not too long ago that insisted on studying every pact that god made in the past, but adding the spin of calling them "legal contracts".

this week's book study concentrated on the same thing.

You talking about the articles on the Covenants?

i patiently waited for my old username to work again, but since it seems it never will, i just added a "2" to my original name, and gave up all aspirations for continuing my "jedi-hood".

sigh.

so, hello all!.

JW Blood Doctrine Constitutes Idolatry

by TTATTelder in

if you sacrifice your life for something - that is devotion to the highest degree and can in certain context constitute worship.. .

as has been discussed many times on this forum, the blood doctrine of being willing to sacrifice life to honor a symbol of life (blood) is ludicrous (see this excellent thread by cofty http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/topic/273265/my-explanation-why-they-got-wrong-about-blood-using-only-nwt?page=1).

it is also idolatry.... .

Damn. Never looked at it that way.

Re: Experienced Attorneys and Paralegals Needed at Bethel

by pixel in

i thought we needed carpenters and plumbers in paradise...oh well... the hypocrisy.

to all bodies of elders in the united states branch territoryre: experienced attorneys and paralegals needed at bethel.

dear brothers:.

At the (ever so slight) risk of revealing my identity, I have a life-long friend who has a brother in the Legal Department who he went to visit last month up in Patterson. When he was asked by someone how things were going, he said, and I quote, "Very very busy. I'm working until 7 or 8 every night. Jehovah's Chariot is moving ahead!"

Obviously, hearsay.

All I could think of was that there must be a lot of Pedo cases for them to have him work overtime and miss the mid week meeting.

I have no Real Friends!

i have come to a startling and sad realisation!.

i have no real friends!.

i have always been extremely active in every aspect of the org, since childhood.

cappytan

Just about all my childhood friends are out of the organization now and I have lost touch with them because I believed I was "doing the right thing."

One is in Jail because he got involved with the Zetas (mexican cartel).

The others that aren't "in" anymore, I have no idea where they are now. They're either not on Facebook, or they have their settings set to not show up in search results.

I would love to reach out to them, but I have a feeling that even though they are "out," they may not be trustworthy and keep it to themselves.
