part 6(a): last public talk the memorial saga .
[note: now things really get interesting.
this is a longer post, but it needs to be said because the events get more and more bizarre!
Amazing, I enjoy your posts very much and have looked forward each evening to your latest. I have one question regarding below:
The Memorial begins and I am introduced. I start off by delivering the talk as outlined by the Society. One little Loophole exists in every Memorial Talk, at least it did up to 1992.
Does this loophole still exist. Did the Society shut it down. I can't imagine they would allow that much freedom to any speaker anymore.

Good thing Armageddon is coming soon or this child abuse thing could make the Society look bad!
on the back cover of the feb. 22/02 awake, we have the.
enchanting story of a young man who won a prize for an.
essay "the space race- the world's biggest money waster".. he credits his victory in this anti-intellectual pursuit.
I'm sure that the brothers in the Taliban Congregation also considered the Space Program a big waste of money too.
last week, i posted evidence of the monumental inefficiency of the field service work.
you might be wondering how it is possible for people to put in so many hours, and produce so few results.
well, the answer is really quite simple.
Very popular now in Southern California is the table set up in the shopping mall. The sign on the front says something to the effect of "WT Cult Recruitment -- Join us or die." Two publishers sit behind the table counting time and studying for Sunday's WT study. No one ever bothers them.
have anyone been harassed by jw?
the reason why i'm asking this question is because my wife and i have been!!!
will develop later.
Four years after I stopped attending meetings (and had moved from San Diego to Los Angeles) an elder who I had never met before showed up at my door and accused me of celebrating worldly holidays. He wanted me to meet with a JC regarding the accusation. I declined. I am sure the elders in my KH in San Diego must have finally figured out where I moved to and decided to send someone to try to df me.
patriotism isn't only by the flag?.
by robyn blumner.
(c) st. petersburg times, published november 11, 2001. the american flag has truly come into its own in recent weeks, replacing suction-cupped garfield's as the accouterment of choice for our cars.. everywhere you look, the flag is hanging out of car windows-unless there is a football game and the local team flag takes precedence.
It's really stupid to say that Witnesses provoked the beatings they received.
It's like saying that a girl provoked her rape because she was wearing a short skirt.
Isn't that the official teaching of the WT regarding culpability for rape?
interesting news article: http://web.star-telegram.com/content/fortworth/2002/01/10/dfw/news-011002-02.htm
The King of the North has always been the German Emperor William II (1859-1941) There is a picture of him in the WT publication "Your Will Be Done on Earth" (1958). This prophecy has already been fulfilled and we have been living in the millenium (invisibly of course as the Bible teaches) since 1975.
c. t. russell had been critical of those who had set various dates for the lords return, such as william miller and some second adventist groups.
*** jv 61-3 6 a time of testing (1914-1918) ***.
the years from 1914 to 1918 did, indeed, prove to be a testing season for the bible students.
um .. yoyo ... i think you'll find that, in posting these you have breached watchtower copyright, gone against their express requests that their copyrighted materials are not reproduced (even by well meaning people) and could quite possibly be disfellowshipped ...
But think of all the time our internet pioneer gets to count by doing this!
starting tomorrow the only way to have access to the viewing platforms that were built in order to let visitors have a "closer" look at the ruins at gz is by obtaining a "pass" being handed out every day early in the morning.. this to accomadate the large crowds and demands to view the ruins.. if you dont get a pass to be able to go up the 13ft.platform which can accomadate about 400 people at a time, then you have to view the ruins from the perimeter established.. i wanted to post this info.
in order to keep showing everyone that the wt boasts of having jws walking "around the debris" talking to others about the "truth" is a lie.. as you can see the closest that you can get is only through one of the viewing platforms-and now only with a pass.. and no freddy, i'm not talking about standing next to the bank and streching out your neck as far up as you can.. mav.-
of course i can prove it..i know a brother who was there
Was he the brother who started the study with President Bush?
everyone wants to find meaning and purpose in their life.
people who have been taught to believe in the bible seek stuff in the bible to give them meaning in their life.
some people make up stuff supposedly based on the bible to give them meaning in their life.. the watchtower society goes one step further: they make up stuff supposedly based on the bible to give their corporation meaning and importance in life.. far too many true believers have a difficult time accepting what should be obvious to any rational human: the bible meant exactly what it said.
That this method of calculating is correctly used to bring us to A.D. 1914 from 607 B.C. is confirmed for us by the physical facts that have become manifest from that year 1914 on, in fulfillment of Matthew 24 and 25, Mark 13, Luke 21, and other prophecies concerning Christ's second presence, in the time of the end.
Of course you realize that if all the European diplomats could have reached some kind of agreement short of war in the summer of 1914 that there would be no WT religion, we all would have had more normal lives and this discussion board would be about gardening or wine-tasting.
