  see pm.

  I suggest all look up port arthur and see the mass of information there under various headings unless its been taken down.

  It is a good bet that if this movie gets out the information will be removed.

  what possibly could this be from a wt perspective.?? hide literature??, send us your $$, have 'secret' meetings??
  

  Yes details please.What country was this please?
  

  I tried to get my uber wife interested in having a very modest store of canned food and other bits and pieces but because the idea didnt come from the kh there was no co-operation.

  My idea was to have some stuff on hand if there was a disaster of some sort that cut off food supplies temporarily.

  Her telling comment was obtuse "whos to say we will be here (home) when it (it..?) happens.

  Why are they still so obsessed with Dr Spock?

  by purrpurr in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  comment in today's wt, was about dr spock, and his book "that every parent in the world read" apparently (!).

  if it wasn't for the wt's obsessions with the guy i would have no idea who he was, neither i suspect would the vast majority of the congregation.

  there has been a mass of parenting books written since and yet they keep harking back to this one.. do they have no idea how out of touch this makes them seem?.

  I remember hearing that 'not pick them up thing' from the [platform and an elder denied, denied, denied it all later I told him Im not silly nor a liar. He went scarlet.

  Such a practice is another indicator why so many jw are emotional train wrecks.
  

  But what can you expect from an org masters that have not had kids of their own.

  and Spock never said half the things accredited to him; it was people in America and elsewhere reading his work and taking it to extremes.

  The suffering and anguish that “NEW LIGHT’ has caused.

  by I believe in overlapping in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the watchtower paints new light as a blessing from jehovah.

  they have convinced the members that the way jehovah works is that he reveals information in small spurts of truth.

  and little by little the path of all those following the instructions becomes clearer and clearer.

  re the call up for war.

  I was one who was conscripted for the Vietnam war. (Yes Australia was involved.) I was told by the elders to tell the court in applying for conscientious objection was MY idea alone and that alternative service was a non no.

  So prison was going to be it.
  

  There was no mention of the wts paying legal costs and from memory the elders never came near my suffering mum and dad. Dad had been to the WW2 and Mum was at home waiting the dreaded telegram and here they were now about to go through it all again thanks to the crawl up Americas arse Liberal party government.
