they just posted the simplified august study watchtower on jw.org.. paragraph 11 of the "expectation!
" article says this:.
"so even if we feel that we have been waiting a long time, this does not mean that the end is far away or that it is not coming in our lifetime.".
Wait a minute, it says in our lifetime? WTH? The circus oversneer just said last Tuesday, "We are in the last days. Soon we will find ourselves in the last day of the last days."
So what happened to being in the last minute? Geez, this gets more goofy every day!
some background:josie the miniature schnauzer is now 12 years old, so she's old enough to know the difference between right and wrong.
however, she insists on peeing in the middle of my beautifully tended lawn, which, as a consequence, is now covered in brown patches.
i've remonstrated with her a number of times and each time she purports to show a diplay of repentance, that is, she slinks away on her belly with her ears flattened down tightly to her head.
You can only perceive her as "bad association" and mark her.
I tried to mark my dog, but all I succeeded in doing was pissing down my own leg. Does that count?
obviously this weeks' wt has been part 3 of big changes in the doctrine.
at the end i answered up saying along the lines of: "as we can see from the illustration box, when it comes to the reward being given to the slaves, divine appointment was not given in 1919. this will happen in future when the anointed get taken before armageddon".
i couldn't bring myself to say "raptured at armageddon" as i think people might have taken a closer look at me...but it felt good to call out publicly the bull sh#t date of 1919 .
Q. How has this article refined our understanding of the parable of the talents?
A. As the article immediately preceding this one states, "Humans cannot know which Bible accounts are shadows of things to come. Where Scriptures do not specifically teach that something is typical of something else we accept it as such." So with the parable of the talents we have "our" understanding now refined to the fact that what we knew to be represented by all facets of this parable now only have a partial application, and the rest is just letting us know we need to stay busy, always doing more.
Heads bobbing like it was a Halloween apple tank.
just when you thought may's jw dot org video featuring wide-eyed cult lunatic gb lett guilting the masses into giving every last dime they have couldn't be topped, your children will now be fed a guilt-inducing cartoon in which they are guilted into giving every last cent they have to the wt cult.

even your children are to be shaken down!

What are they guys in the writing department doing all the days ??
Practicing their ASL masturbation video techniques?
well i finally got the, "we would like to stop by with the circus oversneer and have an encouraging visit.
would ---------day be good, at say -----------?".
it'll probably be a pretty dull visit with the entire conversation being only one way.
Well I finally got the, "We would like to stop by with the Circus Oversneer and have an encouraging visit. Would ---------day be good, at say -----------?"
It'll probably be a pretty dull visit with the entire conversation being only one way. I remember a saying, "Don't put in writing what you can say. Don't say what you can grunt, Don't grunt when you can remain silent."
quote from the watchtower, march 15, 2015, page 23:.
in the illustration of the faithful and discreet slave, jesus spoke of an evil slave who beat his fellow slaves.
jesus was not there foretelling that an evil slave class would arise.
There aren't any 'classes' relating the the slave anymore.
Funny, I told that to one of the nose in the air wannabe eldurrs who always yaps on about the FDS class this, and the FDS class that, and wouldn't you know, I got reprimanded for trying to "correct" an appointed brother!
not sure how wide spread this is, but from my social media land i saw 2 separate videos, from two halls in completely different towns featuring their kids having a demonstration on the service meeting (i am guessing last night as i didn't go).
these kids are really young!
maybe this was just a coincidence at first i thought it was the same video then realized theses people live hundreds of miles apart.
Yeah I had to sit through that buIIshlt part too. First a ten minute cartoon complete with a Shrek wannabe, and then a little kid showing how she "witnessed" to her teacher. Nothing other than the kid showed a jdubya-dot-org cartoon video. Then the oh-so-precious "return visit" where the little brat pass off a summer convention invite. And of course teacher was so thankful, and said she would definitely make plans to attend. . .even though it is over 500 miles round trip.

congratulations, mark!.
Sanderson looks like he's never met a meal he didn't love.

Great picture. At least he won't get in trouble for his socks.
as of this june (i've already given my may contributions which are substantial) i am no longer giving money to support useless building projects that serve no good purpose.
i am no longer giving money at conventions or assemblies.
i am no longer giving money toward the circuit overseers upkeep.
An elderly now ex-elder said after he read the letter about the new arrangement to finance building he more than halved his monthly "contribution". Presently he has suspended it altogether.
I quit contributing when local elders decided I wasn't good enough to baby-sit microphones anymore, but could still do toilet cleaning duty. To heII with that shlt!
