The talks would be cool, if they really knew what the members were thinking. "I hear this talk about happiness, joy and love, but I still have not found, what their preaching about!

1. "This is one of the few times, I can recall exactly why I left my last Kingdom Hall, I don't care for those people!"

2. For Victims of Sexual Molestation, they are able to see the pedophile "good brother" doing his meet and greet with families.

3. Brothers with MLM businesses are able to see old clients and meet new ones, showing them their carload of cosmetics, soap and Amway

4. The Special Day can be used to collect money, or yell at brothers who owe you money, and work they promised to do.

5. Visiting old friends, letting them know "how broke you are, and how you could sure use some work, or money"

6. Hunting grounds for fifty something men or women looking for a twenty something year old caregiver or nurse, planning for their future needs.

7. A good time to burn the Circuit's Cash Horde, pay for a Bethelite to fly to your city.

Now I am just rambling!

Fakeness of the Elders When CO Visits Video

i just ran across this video and enjoyed it a lot.

i hope you guys do too..... i can still remember the fake-ass elders scrambling trying to get everyone to show up for service and put on a big face...lol.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=royjqnqrcc0&feature=related.

has anyone received a positive experience from a C.O. who cares about the "Sheep"? The Master (Jesus Christ's) sheep, and not about pushing magazines, using all four talks to focus on "doing more, preaching more, giving more time"? How many C.O.s say "Hey you are all doing one Hell of a job, I can't add anything other than, keep up the great work!" Human Resource Management Evaluations, usually frown on providing stellar employees with perfect marks, on their annual work evaluation. Their logic is, if you get five stars, you have nothing left to shoot for next year, so keep the perfect employee with a hope, he might get five stars some day. Sound familiar?

ray franz wrote in isocf p.195/6 with all his usual astute observation.

"heavy loads"-why heavy?.

jesus said of the religious leaders of his day, "they tie up heavy loads and put them on men's shoulders, but they themselves are not willing to lift a finger to move them.

What is the New Special Assembly Day About? Field Service or Honoring Our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. Is this accomplished by our daily conduct, real personality and treating the all men, they way the "Good Samaritan" aided a natural enemy, or by Field Service and Preceived Righteousness by men?

How Come I Rarely See People In Field Service, Vs The 1980-1990s Doing House2House?

by Bubblegum Apotheosis in

field service hours have hit new records each year, but i am seeing less people working the territory.

where is all the time spent, that people are putting in the field ministry?

it's been close to ten years, since i have seen people working certain territories.

Field Service hours have hit new records each year, but I am seeing less people working the territory. Where is all the time spent, that people are putting in the Field Ministry? It's been close to ten years, since I have seen people working certain territories. Where do you think all the time is spent, do you see JWs out in force, the way the past "generation" hit the House2House ministry? Are they counting "drive bys" as time?

A bit more of a qualification, there are territories where people don't see JWs, even though it's claimed the territory is worked every three months. One householder told me, "I have not seen you people for years, I thought you quit!"

More "Elders" Doubt They Are Appointed By The "Holy Spirit"!

by Bubblegum Apotheosis in

the study edition of the watchtower says the elders are appointed by jehovah's holy spirit.

it's confounding the society does not realize that more and more elders, do not accept this claim.

i have racked my brain, wondering how many brothers and sisters actually believe this, fall hook and sinker.

The critical thinking ability of JWN, is so sharp, when we all discuss these man made doctrines. I had a falling out with my younger brother,

our falling out was due to a "crisis of conscious", he activily gossiped to destroy elders that did not kiss his ass. He is the top dog, among the body,

he engineered his "dream team" of elders, who bend over backwards to do his will. He is a bully, a liar, and a thief, has no problem watching X-Rated

movies or staying drunk for long periods of time. His wife is the perfect "Stepford" wife, she blindly obeys this fools rantings, she believe's that

she does not have to study magazines (or read anything the Society prints), read the Bible, blatantly practices "Corban" with no conscious. She

thinks brother has done enough good, to cover her minimalist approach to this religion. She rides his coat-tail, and thinks he is her "ransom sacrfice to Jehovah. I could relate more of his evil tactics he used to destroy, wrongfully

disfellowship brothers and sisters. He is pure evil, but he is considered by the Society as a very "good brother, well used in assemblies and put on a

pedestal, for all "Sheep" to observe and follow. Those who cross my brother, are soon destroyed or kicked out of his, (Notice, I put "his") Kingdom

Hall! How is that for Holy Spirit Appointment?

Why Are These Islamists So Touchy?

another thing i don't get..

There are sects and subsets with the Islamic religion. One Islamic teacher preaches that 1 percent of the Muslims might be true or "saved". "correctislamfaith.com" According to Islamic Oral Tradition, the Prophet predicted 73 sects would break away from the true faith. Some experts say there are now over 150, (This number is low, there are new groups, with new clerics claiming to have Truth) Mohammed is said to have said, all the sects, except the one true one, would go to Hell. These words create tension and allow the fighting to continue. If the main sects think the other is going to Hell, they have motive to try to conqueor their brothers, to save them?

The USA is in the Wild Middle East, has not learned from Britain's, Russia's mistakes, dealing with this wild card nation. There is a book on the Russian Afghan war, the accounts are graphic, were Taliban members capture Russian soldiers and gang rape them. The Russian soldiers were terrified of getting caught by the Afghani men, it meant certain death.

There is no good excuse for burning a Quran, this puts American armed forces in danger and causes more backlash in the West.

The link did not work, oops

Egg cut and pasted his form letter response on this issue. I thought of posting some of Mr. Greg Staffords thoughts on "Testing" those who claim to have special appointments, or claim to be apostles, but it would be a waste of time. Egg did not answer honestly, any of our grievances, but dodged the subject, of bad men being appointed. If you have not read Mr. Staffords Blog on "Testing" and Revelation 2:2, it would benifit you greatly, the Bible tells us to avoid bad men. Test men who claim to be from Jehovah, and leave them, if they are not. We are told to watch the conduct of those taking the lead, and to run, if they are acting wickedly. The Society tells us not to judge the elders or the GB, only to constantly judge our own works.

"Get out of the bleachers and into the game"... Memorial 2012 demonstration.

by koolaid-man in

now is a good time to start making preparations for the memorial night demonstration at your kingdom hall thursday, april 5, 2012, after sundown.. close to 20 million people will attend this annual global witness event including active witnesses, relatives and friends of witnesses, bible studies,return visits and still attached former witnesses.

the evils of the watchtower org.have to be exposed and this is an ideal time to do it.. many around the world have been adversely affected by their association with jehovah's witnesses and you can be an instrumental force by standing tall and courageously exposing the watchtower organization.. there is no better way to let the watchtower know your revulsion than to broadcast and present your view by standing fearlessly, demonstrating in front of a kingdom hall.. i am fully aware that a handful of the internet therapists who post on this forum will not agree with this method of unmasking the watchtower.. those intolerant, contemptuous critics who will comment on this thread making harsh judgements and finding fault with those who protest are perhaps deep-down wishing they had the backbone to stop hiding in cyber-space, step away from their computer and "get out of the bleachers and into the game" .

lets make this a global event!......

Rick your website is hard to navigate, I did not have the "adaptor or plug-in required" do you have a site without videos? One with a "Mission Statement" and core beliefs, in type, I am not too big on videos, I did check your site out. Rick can you run a different thread one day, on your views on topics JWs can relate to?

How many times did the subject of "Jesus Christ Our Lord and Saviour" get mentioned? The words "pioneer, field service, greater works" were mentioned how many times? Jehovah was so proud of his Son, he grants him a new name above all the other angelic creation, yet the W.T.S. mentions "field service, preaching" while avoiding the wonderful and blessed name of Jesus Christ. My premise is the Special Day Outline, where is Jesus Christ name mentioned?

Will we get new information on the "Generation" at the Special Day?
