SFJ as you said getting bolder and more rude. Well I had an elder spit as I walked past him how about that. Shocked as I was I spit right back at him. Not a new elder at that but one in there about 30 years. These are angry and hurt people knowing full well the lies handed to them which they in turn to remain faithful must continue the same pattern of deceitefulness. nojw

Musings on the WTS Funk
by Farkel inthe watchtower society is in a funk.
no doubt about it.
it is stagnant and paralyzed by its own inertia.. it has survived for one and one quarter centuries for a few very simple reasons: .

Will You Make Room for Pioneering?
by TMS inregardless of scriptural implications, creating special categories of service such as colporteur, pioneer, special pioneer, etc.
was a brilliant move.. the prestige, status and few little perks associated with those committing to being full-time workers is miniscule compensation for their sacrifice of time, lifestyle, income and educational opportunities.. yes, the hour requirements have dropped on several occasions.
how many on the board know that the regular pioneer requirement was once 150 hours a month, then 1200 hours a year, than 1000, now 90-vacation/assembly time?.

I"m still trying to find where in the bible Jesus called himself a pioneer is that word pioneer found in the bible? Now Lewis and Clark, Davey C. seems to fit the title as pioneer. Not when you step out of a KH or car, and say I am pioneering. Just struck my funny bone... now

WHY APOSTASY IS DOOMED TO FAILURE!!!
by You Know inapostasy has been the devil's most effective means of fighting against the truth.
after all, time and time again the devil was able to lure the israelites away from the worship of jehovah and in to all sorts of idol worship and whatnot.
some anointed christians in the 1st century were also induced to become antichrists.

Advanced revelation by the ordinary Jw. Now that makes hairs on ones neck stand up. Talk about who is the antichrist. These are some scary people. What he the hell are they being taught? I wish someone would have shown my sister what scripture said she could not have a liver transplant but now that she died, she could have lived by having one. You know, you are the apostate, you know. nojw

Song of Solomon - YEAH BABY
by philo ini just reread song of solomon for the first time in over ten years.
despite using the nwt, which butchers most biblical poetry to admiration, i was nevertheless struck its beauty.
if you haven't read it, it is about a shepherd's love for one of solomon's concubines, and it evokes a delicious, aching, tantalising, desire - yup really.

Suppose they could have a drama on Song of Solomon at the coming assembly, could prove to be an eye opener .....nojw

Should My Mother Shun My Daughter?
by Englishman ini don't know why i never spotted this before, but my daughter from my first marriage has just pointed out to me that her grandmother - my jw mother - has never ever contacted her since she was a child.
how would her grandmother respond if she - my daughter - made some contact?.
my first response was to say that i'm sure she would be delighted to hear from her, but then i got to wondering.

Hi Englishman, when I read your post it touched home base for me. My daughter is the same as yours, never baptized, situation is when mom and dad left, she was shunned also by grandma, on hubbys side it been years now she si used to it. But that is and always will be a hugh torn in my paw. If I new then what I know now never,ever would we have made such a choice of becoming Jw. As far as shunning goes it medically damaging to any individual especially little ones envolved in their cruel acts of so called love. grrrrrrr. nojw

SAVING SEATS
by Amazing intaking a brief break from my 'deceptive jw elders' series, i thought about conventions and recalled the annual exhortation from the congregation service meetings and the kingdom ministry about not saving seats.. in the early 1970s, my wife was pregnant with our second child.
we were attending the disctrict convention at the oakland, california coliseum where the oakland raiders and oakland a's teams play.
the stadium hold about 70,000 give or take 5,000 with extra seats on the field.. during the summer in the bay area, sitting all day in the sun listening to speakers you can barely understand due to planes flying overhead, poor sound system, and crying babies, becomes a tortureous event.

March 1st WT...
by TheApostleAK ini found this quote in the march 1st wt particularily sickening...the april 16-22 study, paragraph 4. i won't reproduce the scriptures for you... section name: the happiness of those in the light or really the happiness of those in the organisation.
(isa 26:1,2) these are the exultant words of people who trusted in jehovah.
faithful jews in isaiah's day looked to jehovah, not to false gods of their fellow countrymen, as the only real source of security.

"Not of Our Sort" Part I
by TMS ini am an old man.. this is a topic i have been comtemplating for some time as i continue in this transitional time of my life, reminiscing about my 50+ years with what some of you call the "borg", but i simply refer to as jehovah's witnesses.. good people i have known who loved god, but did not fit into the organizational scheme of things is the topic.
there will be at least three parts a la amazing.
this topic will sink out of sight like a rock, but it is therapeutic to write it and the contemplation brings a smile to my face.. my first subject is b.w.. b.w.
