Wow, so according to Herd, God is like an abusive husband. No wonder this cult makes people sociapathic.

the insanity of Sam herds talks at the convention
by purrpurr ini've picked up two that stood out to me but i'm sure others will have noticed more:.
he gave an illustration about fearing god and he said it is like a wife who has spent all day preparing the evening meal for her husband and she hears him come home and perhaps she is trembling a bit out of fear that he might not like the meal she has cooked for him....!!!!!!!!????.
the other was about verbal abuse and how it should not be used but rather than site the effect it has or the forms it can take he said that we shouldn't call each other " dumb dumb" or "knuckle head" .

Service Meeting Adjustment w/c 1st September
by konceptual99 inprobably nothing of major note but there is an adjustment to the service meeting of w/c 1st september to allow for a 15 min local needs the society have asked the elders to deliver.
this is in uk and i've no idea if it affects other regions.. if it's uk only then i suspect it's either specifically about donations or more likely the status of the new branch facility, asking for volunteers/money.
given that the elder delivering it in our hall is prominent on the local rbc then i suspect the latter.. .

I suspect the turning of the tide began in the mid-90's with the Generation change, the advent of the Internet, no Armageddon.
9/11 gave the Org a shot in the arm that forstalled that.

I’m skeptical of this as well. This feels like a rumor that has grown in the telling.
Of course, historically many individuals in writing have woken up, including one GB member. I’m sure other GB members who stayed like Lyman Swingle had pangs of conscience and knew something was seriously wrong. But I can’t imagine any of the Governing Body 2.0 having sleepless nights.

6 branches subsidize the rest of the branches.
by hoser ini went to the meeting this morning and we had some guy from overseas bethel give the public talk.
6 countries subsidize the rest.
he said in some countries all the donations that they get from contributions don't even pay the electricity bill for the branch buildings so money has to come in from these 6 richer countries.

From what I understand (which could be wrong), the Organization is not hurting for money in the least. They are rolling in it.

I've seen several interracial couples in the magazines...and that should be no surprise since JWs have a very high percentage of interracial marriages. Integration among the rank and file is one of the few positive things I can say about the religion.
