  Who really is the faithful and discreet* slave whom his master appointed over his domestics, to give them their food at the proper time?

  by Alex Williams in

  this statement was answered in a form of a question to a question posed by one of his followers;.

  jesus realized that composite slave had to qualify for such an appointment when he came into power of his kingdom promised by jehovah god.

  [and they came to life and ruled as kings with the christ+ for 1,000 years].

  Well, the sheep have been told to "watch out" for "the wolfs." However in the end, it is the "good Sheppard" that kills some of them and fleeces the rest!

  P.S. In Leo Greenless case (Governing Body member) sometimes they even screw some of the sheep!

  The Power Of An Indoctrinated People

  let's face it, thousands of people in one place together can be mesmerizing.

  watching some of the videos for the witnesses conventions this last week, from all over the world you get the sense of what total brain washing can do.

  happy people waving banners saying "see you in paradise.

  A scene of two preteen brown children getting baptized as kingdom songs are being playing.

  I remember the crowds going crazy when a new book came out or when all the lights come on at night around the platform area at the at the big international conventions like the one in New York in 1958. It reminded of the torch light parades in Nazi Germany.

  As they say "A people together for one purpose!"

  Scary stuff....indeed.

  I remember the time when I was a part of all that. The feeling of "who can stop us now!"

  I was so full of myself and assured of my future as a good Nazi Jehovah's Witness I would be loyal forever.

  I would and did anything they told me to do.

  Powerful and scary stuff for sure!

  first of all, there's a new imaginary picture of jws during the great tribulation:.

  then there's a picture of a jw family refusing to listen to "apostate lies" via pre-programed, self imposed information control:.

  the description says:.

  "With that said, why the hell do JW's continue to get married and have children knowing that there is a 100 % chance that those children will suffer because of their faith?"

  They will never tell their members to stop having children now (like they use to many years ago) because they know just like the Catholics the only growth they have now is from the "born ins!"

  I'm very worried. I just took out two slices of Dave's killer Bread out of the bag this morning, to make some toast. I bought the bread almost 2 weeks ago. When I open the bag the bread was just as soft as it was, the day I bought it.

  It wasn't too long ago that day old bread was just as hard as a rock the next day or two.

  I'm very concerned about what they are putting in this bread.

  Who knows maybe the Witnesses are right and we are living in the last days and Satan has control over even our bread.

  Read Ray Franz's book this will describe his whole dismissal from Bethel (along with Ed Dunlap) was because they couldn't find any secular historians that could support the 607 BC theory.

  PS "However, if you continue to have questions regarding this matter, feel free to speak with your congregation elders."

  Ask the Elders? Yes, I'm sure Joe the elder who works on the garage truck or Tom the janitor or maybe Larry the car salesman can explain this mumble jumble better than we can!

  PSS "Lobsto.... you know of course that they sent a copy of your letter and this one to your congregation."

  Yes, meaning get ready for a committee meaning!

  "It seems like your brother Lobsto is having some doubts about the organization."

  Yes, I agree. In fact I've seen the movie twice. I went back again to get some of the hidden gems I missed the first time around.

  Qt who we all know loves to disseminate death an a lot of blood would have had no problem normally slicing and dicing any buddy including a pregnant women and taking their blood and smearing it on the walls. However he took us down a different road.

  A better road? Maybe....different for sure.

  Most people go to movies to escape reality.

  What do you expect for only $8 the answers to life?
