  So many saved nothing for old age. My old PO, is apparently suffering all the way to the grave.

  He saved nothing. He sold his house to burn the equity. He had to have a major surgery that he was sure he wouldn’t survive, but unfortunately for him, he did. He has had to go back to work as an old man, now, after major surgery. He looks like crap.

  Just prior to his surgery, he gave a talk in our hall. During the talk, which included some stuff about the last days yada yada, he said that there would be those, like himself, who wouldn’t make it till Armageddon.

  What a sad little man, up there on the stage, looking old and beaten and poor and sick, convinced he was going to die. He had himself half imbombed, ready for the box.

  But he lived. But he’s sad, so sad. He has to drag his post-operative sick ass out of bed every day till he dies so he can get his meager portion of dog food and pay the rent on the hole he lives in. My wife says he “looked yellow”.

  There are others who are just as much a pitiable slog, dragging themselves along the gutter in their groveling existence. It must be horrible, absolutely horrible, to be in that state.

  The Watchtower doesn’t have any clergy....

  The Watchtower doesn’t have any prophets either...

  The Watchtower is “profit-like”...

  I guess the elders are “clergy-like”...

  And they are not at all honest, perhaps they are “honest-like”...

  It is usually the case that adult children figure out what has happened and go on to reject one parent or the other. More than half the fellas I work with are divorced, and I have heard it time and again that adult children want nothing to do with one or the other ...based on who did what. I truly hope your ex is sick. No, not that I want anyone to be sick, but that if her actions can truly be blamed on illness, that’s the only way she will get any sympathy from junior.

  I think that instead of a de-dedication ceremony the elders should just profane the sanctuary at closing.

  Sure... they can gather for an elder’s meeting and after giving prayers they can urinate on the platform in unison.

  Personal Data Permission (Spain)

  by paradiseseeker in

  i had the meeting yesterday and there it was announced that there will be a new law passed in spain regarding personal data.

  that law makes it compulsory for the wt spanish branch to collect a signed permission from the publishers to keep and utilize personal data.

  no choice was given to us, we were just told to make sure we hand in our signed permissions before may 18th.

  I think the Watchtower’s push for data etc revolves around the newest change within the org.

  The Blood Card evolved from just a card dubs carry that says “no blood” into a full blown Durable Power of Attorney DPA. And the newest Watchtower law is for elders not only to sign them but to make a copy and keep on file.

  The Watchtower has sojourned into the realm of the legal. They want to replace your lawyer.

  A Durable Power of Attorney is something that your lawyer prepares, not your priest. Watchtower knows how it goes on Hospital Day. Everyone shows up including non dub kids who might make a Blood Card disappear....

  Watchtower wants to enforce. To do so they need to put on the lawer’s shoes. To do that, they have to have legal permission. I am surprised it has taken this long for the authorities and the powers that be to catch on to what is going on at OZdomhall.

  What good is data related to one’s religious affiliation?

  Hitler could never have killed so, so many Jews if not for IBM.

  Goes to show how good data comes in handy when you are a despot.

  Lies from the watchtower

  i am interested in getting a list of lies that the watchtower has said or wrote in the past that could actually be proven to be as such, or, for the very least, deliberately misleading.

  1. in a morning worship lecture in 2015, stephen lett said .

  "rejecting false stories designed to separate us from jehovah's organization.

  Need blood? Save your life, here's why.

  by LevelThePlayingField in

  2. medical

  so here's the point regarding blood transfusions.

  notice jesus asks the pharisees if it was lawful on the sabbath to save a life.

  so, can you break god's law to save your life if it came to that?

  The first blood transfusion took place in the first century. A woman with very low hemoglobin was desperate for a fraction. The Holy Spirit gave her a full transfusion.

  Luke 8:

  43 And a woman was there who had been subject to bleeding for twelve years,[c] but no one could heal her.

  44 She came up behind him and touched the edge of his cloak, and immediately her bleeding stopped.

  45 “Who touched me?” Jesus asked.

  48 Then he said to her, “Daughter, your faith has healed you. Go in peace.”

  Jesus preached “I want MERCY and NOT sacrifice “

  If today, a JW woman had a dangerous perforated uterus and was low on hemoglobin and needed surgery and blood, what would Watchtower say?

  They would say that she can have the surgery but her hemoglobin is her own problem.

  Jesus didn’t do a half a cure, but Watchtower would.
