Harold Camping finally opened his mouth to his devout and loyal sheep with some lame excuse. He still won't admit he is wrong (Notice that God mislead him, notice his words carefully in the interview, it's not his fault!) , does this sound familiar to you, or should his followers obey even though they feel lost? Has the Watchtower ever apologized for their erroneous dating of Jesus Christ's return or did they dart from the issue? Did they apologize for their new light which allowed "organ transplants, blood fractions." and who knows what else will be allowed.

New CO talk: Be loyal to Org. even if you get weird instructions or can prove them wrong doctrinally!
by sir82 intheme was something about "loyalty to jehovah's visible organization".. i have neither the time nor inclination to summarize the whole thing, but a few points stood out:.
even if it causes you personal hardship.
example: joshua & caleb returned from spy trip to promised land with good report, but were "outvoted" by the other 10 spies.

With the advent of the new song book, it's quite strange indeed, nobody knows the songs. The music is outright horrible, very dreadful and I am still confused why they changed the song book? JWs look at each other, giggle they can't follow the lyrics, and laugh few can keep a note. The new book and music was suppose to be refreshing? Am I the only one who thinks the music is not joyfull or devoid of any nice melody? Why did they change songs we knew, songs that sounded pretty and songs that had a rythm? Just my humble opinion.

"Hospitality"?
by NCO inhad to meet my parents not too long ago for some family business and while working out the time for that sunday, they said they had the meeting and then following the meeting they had "hospitality" for an hour or so.. now i've been out for going on 20 years and somewhat out of the loop.
needless to say i've never heard of that.
i've been to other churches where they have the sanctuary and then the fellowship hall where the members go and eat after the service.

Kingdom Hall has "Book Study." overseers.
1. Book Study overseers have a percentage of publishers under their supervision, whether the Overseer wan't it or not.
2. The Public Speaker is offered a meal after the meeting, which is assigned by a different book study group each week. Since most of the JWs in their book study, rarely get together, this is a good time to talk to people away from the Kingdom Hall. You are able to praise the speaker (even if his talk was stale, not refreshing or loaded with his own agenda.) and his wife, while enjoying fellowship with those who accept your invitation to lunch, dinner. Often it is a Ministerial Servant who ends up taking the speaker, to take the burden off the elders. The policy of "Hospitality." looks good on theory but often is not implemented or is carried out begrudgingly. There is a elderette who hated this provision, use to drive her nutts having to take five or six people out to dinner. The speaker would bring a chain gang from his Hall, the elderette's husband would invite them all, and pick up the tab! $120 Poof! up in Smoke. Oh how she was mad!

The last few years "Warren Buffet." has donated his time to the highest bidder for charity. The Ebay auction usually goes for $100,000 to spend lunch-time and pick his brain on his view. Who would you want to have lunch with, the scholar or wild women or man from JW Net?
I would pick Marvin, Leoliia or Blondie.

Six Screens YouTube channel tops 1 million views !
by koolaid-man inthe six screens of the watchtower has crossed the threshold of 1 million uploaded views on youtube.
how encouraging it is that what we set out to do is working..... helping active jehovah's witnesses find out what the watchtower organization is hiding behind.. youtube is a major thorn in the watchtowers side.
it is a powerful weapon for "the apostates" in exposing the evils of this dangerous and destructive cult.. we applaud all of our fellow soilders in uploading your videos to youtube as the some total of all of our efforts continue to help hurting jws.. http://www.youtube.com/user/araretreat .

Rick, have you had Bill Bowen or Barbara Anderson on your show? When are you going to have Greg Stafford back, he was brilliant and fun. Can you get him back on? Good Day! One more thing, Rick what was your grievance against the W.T.S. based on, did you leave or were you DF'ed? Was it a moral reason, "the pedophiles in the Halls?" or something else?

Family Radio fired Harold Camping, and lost over $200 million dollars (USD) with their "End Time." snow job. I honestly feel bad for Harold Camping, I know he was wrong, but he was zealous and does not want to die. I wonder if Harold is angry at God now? How will Family Radio come out of this mess, they have lost all credibility with their bad bet. When will the Watchtower Society say "Uncle." and stop trying to micro-manage the lives of the JWs? Hal Lindsay "The Late Great Planet Earth." has come down to earth, after his day in the media sun. Now his books don't sell like they use to, people feel a bit cheated by his prophecy reading failure too.

Rick, if you are a controllling part of this show, you need to be accountable for what goes on after-hours. What would Steven Jobs have said, "Don't call me after I leave the office, I am off work." It's your show, your radio content and you will be guilty by assocation, so watch out! Do you think Rush Limbaugh would allow ramblings on his show? He would not have a $600 million dollar, 7 year contract if he did!
" The telephone lines will be open for anyone around the world who would like to speak up and talk about their experiences in The Watchtower....... Please do not hold me responsible for what takes place in the after hours."
