  Is Stephen Lett an alien imitation?

  by LoveUniHateExams in

  i've been watching quite a bit of gb member stephen lett on youtube recently (no, i'm not thinking of going back to the jws).. i just find him compulsive viewing, like when people slow down to see a car crash.

  i find his facial expressions and intonation spell-binding.. it reminds me a bit of john carpenter's the thing, a film where an alien life-form infects a host and imitates it, spreading throughout camps of remote workers in the antarctic.

  if i were a bethelite living in close proximity to lett, i'd be thinking about giving him the blood test to see if he was normal, lol.. why does lett speak in public the way he does?

  here's a great jw brain stumper about noah

  by nowwhat? in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  so noah was a preacher of righteousness.

  than how did he warn other pockets of civilizations that were hundreds or thousands of miles away?

  and if they were destroyed anyway i thought jehovah only acts after he gives clear warning.. and if there were no other civilzations why the need to destroy the entire earth of every living creature?

  And another thing:

  Genesis 6:2 - the sons of God saw that the daughters of humans were beautiful, and they married any of them they chose. (NIV)

  This means that the angels has male sexual urges and materialized male bodies. How come none of them had lust towards the males? Couldn't they have also taken female bodies to take husbands?

  My Old Kingdom Hall being merged with TWO other congregations!

  by pale.emperor in

  this can only be a good sign.. my old congregation in liverpool has had a lot of money in it's bank account for years.

  for a long, long time (almost 8 years) they've been looking for land to build a new hall.

  the one they're in now is literally falling to bits.

  pale.emperor: Could you say which KH that was? I mean, could you point to the old hall and the new (3 year old) hall on google map?

  KH's A, G and H will be merging. As my sources tell me, KH "H" will be the one they're all moving to. I can imagine people in KH G just ignoring the direction and just moving to KH J.

  I also heard of a couple who left their house to their local congregation for the pioneers to use. Two or three couples could live there virtually rent free and it would help them financially. When the sister died last year the society would not hear of this arrangement and told the congregation to sell the property and forward the funds to them. This has now happened.

  Thats bad. They left it for the pioneers to use. They'd turn in their graves if they knew the society were selling up to compensate a victim of child molestation somewhere.

  local hall has now got a buyer--i understand. ( asking price £500.000.

  It begs the question, what does one do with a KH they just bought? It'd make a crap house. Offices maybe?

  Of course it is not just the £200k gone, it is the proceeds of the sale of 2 more Kingdom Halls, as well.

  Oh yeah, i never thought of that. Maybe His Royal Highness Anthony Morris III needs another condo up in Walkill to fit his big fat head in.

  This can only be a good sign.

  My old congregation in Liverpool has had A LOT of money in it's bank account for years. For a long, long time (almost 8 years) they've been looking for land to build a new hall. The one they're in now is literally falling to bits. Dripping roof, no baby changing room, stained carpets, retro sound system etc. There's a lot of wealthy old people who are dying at a steady rate so although the £££ was flowing for a while it's now drying up. Anyway, when i was still "in" we were all told we have the money to build a hall right now but we just cant find land (they used this on the platform as as proof that Satan's world was attacking our efforts).

  I heard this morning that they've sent all that money to Bethel (except about £5,000 +/- they're allowed to keep) and they've been told they're going to be merging with, not one, but TWO, other Kingdom Halls. The congregation is confused and the wealthy members are livid. The other two congregations are quite poor. One has had a new hall built about 3 years ago so they're all going to use that.

  Hey presto!, Jehovah provided you with a new hall just like you asked for didn't he?.

  Cant get a definite figure on how much was in their bank, but the former account servant who left 2 years ago told me that when he was there it was over £200,000. About 5 old people signed over their will to the KH in the 2000s. Now all that money is at Bethel.

  Dont blame them for being upset over this, i'd be seething!!

  It seems that many witnesses simply dont care about facts?

  by stuckinarut2 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i often wonder if the current crop of witnesses, especially the youth and younger ones simply don't care about facts?.

  i mean for some, even with knowledge of the past scandals, misleading teachings, mistruths, etc etc, they simply don't care.

  "it is the truth after all".. they are so intertwined in the operations and activities of the society, that they cant see anything outside of it.

  It's scary how much it's changed. Independent study was the sign of a zealot when i was a kid. Now they've actually a sin as "causing divisions".

  New member + anyone attended/seen the Zone Visit?

  by Isambard Crater in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i'm a new member so wanted to say 'hi'.

  i live in the u.k, was born in, fell away as an unbaptised publisher, got baptised in my 30s for reasons i'm retrospectively unsure of, and lost my faith about five years ago around the time of the original a.r.c.

  now, being unable to leave is making me physically, emotionally and mentally ill.. i have been visiting this forum for a couple of years and wanted to post my first message to see if anyone has attended, heard or watched the zone visit broadcast thing happening this month?

  Welcome to the forum. If needs must I could go to the KH if it's being broadcast and secretly film it. Wifi bandit usually has leaked stuff perhaps he can help.
