  2-go bag just needs lots of guns and bullets. . .
  

  Actually I got a "talking" to from a Super JDub about the fact that my emergency supplies kit had two boxes of ammunition for my legally permitted, easy to carry semi-auto. I was told THAT wasn't trusting in Jah for protection. I asked why the would assume it was for protection? In my part of the US it is very sparsely populated. If one were to have to live of the land I will be eating wild game keeping my strength up, while the rest of the JDub's are eating grass and getting weaker.

  The idea that a "go-bag' will protect you at Armageddon is just plain goofy!
  

  And of course on the likely remote off chance some knuckle-head decides to use a natural disaster as an excuse to try to do bodily harm to me or my loved ones, well. . .

  No Sports Cars Please!

  by snugglebunny in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i read on a jw forum that jw's came in for disapproval if they drove either sports cars or 2-door cars.

  the reasoning was that a driver couldn't easily take fellow dubbies out preaching in such a vehicle.

  was that ever official policy or just local nonsense from a grumpy po?.

  It was one of the things my first PO counseled me about: Get rid of my 2-door '73 Dodge Charger muscle car V8

  For me it was a '68 Dodge Charger. Blue, black top, and white interior. Also chastised for having a vehicle looking to worldly. Still don't have a four door vehicle.

  I did not want to potentially hijack the thread in this post:

  Galling Meeting Today! Truly Nauseating!

  A couple comments were made there about this statement in today's WT. Then the WT study made it even worse. Paragraph 9 stated: "Humbly acknowledge your limitations and admit your mistakes".

  I noticed this statement in par. 11, "Giving reasons helps. . .see your decisions are not. . .capricious but reasonable." The question was, "When appropriate, why is it wise to explain the reasons for a parental rule or decision?"

  As there were not many in attendance the conductor called on OFS.

  My comment was, "Capricious, meaning not logical, instructions might be blindly obeyed by some, but if the logical reasons for a rule or decision are plainly explained it makes it easier for a person to willingly comply or obey. And as this section is stressing, that would indicate humility on the part of the person who is in authority."

  Afterwards I had many coming up to me saying how good that comment was. I wonder if they had a clue as to what I referred? Probably not. But I bet most here know.

  I almost died laughing at the meeting last night. OMG WTF is going on? Have I been away this long?

  ok so most of you guys know already that i am going through the reinstatement process for my parents but i do have a partially sinister plan which i will not mention here since someone told me that there are b-lites that read boards like this.

  last night and it was the funniest experience i have ever seen.

  besides that the brother doing the sound and video screwed up the whole thing when showing the videos and it took 3 brothers to fix it after 10 minutes, the whole thing was a joke.

  A photographer in the Documentation Department takes pictures of the construction. The Governing Body of Jehovah’s Witnesses views photos each week to see the progress of the project.

  Too bad that not one of the Magnificent Seven can get off their royal ass and show up on site to "encourage" the slave laborers.

  Had to sit through this crap tonight. All I could think of is bobble heads for some reason. And the stupid sh-t eating grins these goofs had pasted to their mugs was just sickening.

  Another heavy load :Literature Cart Witnessing

  by RULES & REGULATIONS in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  jehovah's witnesses standing on a street corner publicly promoting the propaganda of the governing body!another ridiculous form of "forced loyalty" to jehovah.

  "dirty work" that the wtbts make witnesses go through.preaching work '' lite''.putting more heavy loads on members while the ''faithful and discreet slave'' preach from warm studios without the humiliation.

  what an embarrassment!.

  Local congregation bought(?) two of these carts last summer. They are still set aside in the corner, unopened, and unused. So much for initiative or a spirit of urgency!

  What is Theocratic Warfare?

  "we do not view them [silent lambs] as our enemies," [j.r.] brown said.

  (foxnews.com, march 27th, 2004)

  "a lie is a false statement made by one to another one who is entitled to hear and to know the truth" (riches book, 1936, page 177) .

  J.R. Brown - "...we do not view them as our enemies..."

  Well he is telling the "truth" as he sees it. After all JDubya's view DF'd persons as already dead, and you can't really view a dead person as an enemy any longer as you could when they were alive. So given the JW view they can claim they don't view them as enemies

  January jw-tv broadcast with Lett

  lett is back with a vengance!.

  * the last money-begging effort increased donations by 15% for two months; a letter by a 13 year old who donated is read out loud.

  * since last may "so many good things have happened".

  "It was my "privilege" to attend a large regional convention in Stockholm, Sweden. . ."
  

  Now I wonder how much of that cost Lett paid for, and how much was paid for out of the money that rolled in after the May fund raising broadcast?
