i was asking the above question because a pomo friend of my family told me about an incident involving her and a couple of dubs who were physically abusive in the past.. a single sister who was running around from one cong to another cong looking for a husband.

she was visiting my friend's cong for less than a year.

there was a commuter bethellite bro who was very friendly towards my friend (which i'll call her "q") and her fam members.

Well it happened to me!

I was shoved aside on my own property by a (so-called) elder.

In terms of their beliefs it becomes acceptable behaviour, after all, they imagine they’re doing it to the evil one, Satan, who they believe I’m a follower of and so anything is allowable.

It's been a long 9 years Lloyd Evans / John Cedars

I have said multiple times on this thread that Lloyd Evans is controlled opposition.

Maybe but I doubt this as being yet another conspiracy theory.

However the point I’ve made before is that LE has never really ‘left’ the OrganisationTM. His whole “modus operandi” is dependant on the W/T. People who’ve really left the W/T behind don’t need to be continually regurgitating the very teachings they say they’ve left and all in the name of “activism”.

Oh please Lloyd! Get a life.

FWIW I can confirm that shot posted by Toblerone5 is of three guys inside the Australia Bethel (I remember it well enough 😜)

Also I recognise Paul Grundy and the guy in the middle is Terry O’Brien who appeared at the Australian Royal Commission that you will recall.

the study edition of september has 2 question from readers.. one about what happens arround 1000 years after armageddon.. they compare 2 class of people: permanent resident and temporary visitors.

first: these doctrines are difficult to believe in.

and pure fake fantasy.. g..

How about this for sheer fantasy ! It’s in that QFR.

And no matter what visa foreigners initially receive upon entry into another country, some may even- tually receive citizenship while others may be deported.

Someone mentioned on JWN recently about the time coming when the R&F would be asked to drink the Kool-Aid. From this quote, that doesn’t seem too far off !

i was sure she'd played snooker before.

The WT has failed to explain fundamental doctrines

by Kosonen in

sadly the wt failed to teach fundamental biblical doctrines.

i did never really understand the doctrine about ransom while i was still in the congregation.. i did not either understand what it really means that "god is love" as stated in the bible.

i did not either understand from the wt what is love.

ozziepost

If you failed to understand basic teachings of your former religion, the fault was yours alone.

Gotta say, I agree with vienne. I wonder if you were really paying attention.

As far as I remember the ransom and the various meanings of the word love were thoroughly taught.
