  What The Presiding Overseer Sees

  by tfs in

  in my opinion, any one today, that takes the wts very seriously, their opinions, their thoughts, their recommendations, either in what they write, print or teach publicly from the platform, is usually a novice or a very new person, in his association with the organization itself.. if the wts were to cry "wolf," [the end is here, time is short] very few would listen.

  this is because as abraham lincoln once said:.

  "...you can't fool all of the people, all of the time.".

  He will now also begin notice a even, worshipful attitude has been developed among some of those in the lead toward the organization itself, and some of its higher up ones.

  Well, I have never been a Presiding Overseer, or a Ministerial Servant (it had something to do with my not having the right sex organs !) but I noticed this attitude of worshipping the Society a year or two before I became inactive. To my disgust, I noticed it in myself as well, being a 3rd Generation Witness. It had been instilled in me.

  When I focused on turning my worship towards my Creator, it was all so easy for the scales to fall off. Not that I regret it, mind you!

  Yes, you'll see Witnesses in all their varying stages here. Some active, some not, some df'd, most not. We welcome honest discussion here, as well as some good-natured humor, and I look forward to your "pearls"

  Another way of understanding the disgust JWs have towards other religions :

  As mentioned earlier, false religion (all religions other than JWs) is called "Babylon the Great". In Revelation chapter 17 it refers to Babylon the Great as "the great harlot.... the mother of the harlots... drunk with the blood of the holy ones".

  Not a pretty thought, eh?

  So if JWs are taught that this refers to religions other than JWs, you may understand why JWs show disgust and distain for other religions.

  does anyone remember a show from a few years ago that featured a nice young and very good-looking (sigh!

  ) guy that was a mountie, with a white dog as his companion.

  the dog's name may have been wolf, or something like that.

  Anyway, does anyone know the name of the show? I know it's a long shot, but anyone??

  hey Grunt

  Your name reminds me of a band in Australia with a famous actor as it's lead singer/song writer

  It's called Thirty Odd Feet of Grunts (or, TOFOG) featuring none other but the Gladiator himself, Russell Crowe.

  Just my 2 cents...
