"Opinions about dress and grooming..."
by leaving_quietly infrom the july 15, 2014 watchtower, page 15. par.
"opinions about dress and grooming, health and nutrition, and other personal matters may also trigger controversy.
accordingly, if no scriptural principle is being violated, jehovah's people wisely abstain from arguing over such matters, "for a slave of the lord does not need to fight, but needs to be gentle [tactful, ftn.

Tony and the rest of the GB junta read what you just quoted and will say it applies to regular JW - JW interactions. It doesn't apply to them when they want to give counsel since they are the FDS. It's an astute move when you think about it - it halts all the endless inquiries to HQ complaining about dress and asking for a clarification whilst at the same time allows them to set forth law just by giving a talk. These talks get parroted by their representatives and it's all the same as writing it down in the WT without actually having to write it down and invite controversy.

Governing Body sick of waiting! They want the paradise they were promised!
by donuthole inthis post is going to suggest that the governing body remains, as ray franz wrote, "captives of a concept".
like every jehovah's witness they were raised with the belief that the the paradise would be here by now.
unlike others, they are in a position to do something about.. why wait to rule over the earth?

It is sick to think about all the promises made that are going unfulfilled. And these people still think they are in the 'last hour'. My grandmother made that distinction - 'last hour' vs 'last days' as was common before. It will only get worse once the generation that directly dealt with the 1975 debacle dies off and the organisation gets cleansed of its previous blunders in the minds of the leadeship.

Is the WTS effectively 'pimping out' sisters?
by Simon ini can't remember the topic with the discussion about the talk where they suggested that sisters should only consider ministerial servants as potential marriage partners but think about the implications more.. are they trying to use the potential affections of sisters to enourage brothers to do more and work harder?.
isn't this a form of 'pimping out' the sisters by limiting their attention to the people contributing to them?.
it seems to cross a line to me but i guess it's not vastly different to "only marry another jw".. what do you think?.

Coercing the young and available women towards a group of stalwart loyalists is a common cult technique. This is an example on a smaller scale regarding what happens in the Mormon polygamist communities. A relatively small group of loyalist 'good ol boys' get all the wives, leaving the marginal or unconnected members as outcasts. They end up feeling forced out and are known as 'lost boys'. They end up homeless, on drugs, or even killing themselves. The intended effect is the same - both the polygamists and the JWs want you to carry water for the big boys in the hope of a reward.

Bob Dylan: The Basement Tapes Complete (the Bootleg Series Vol. 11)
by Simon inbob dylan is an artist like no other.
while some spend months or even years working on and crafting an album, some of his have been cut over a long weekend.. some have been great, some are near misses - some seem awful at the time and then come into their own a decade later.. the mistique around the man has always driven demand for his music especially the unrelease stuff.
the original bootleg album was "the basement tapes" recorded with the band after his motorcycle accident of the late 60's.

As long as they stay "The Basement Tapes". Last ones I heard Robbie Robertson tweaked and overdubbed them like they belonged to him or something. Clean up the tape hiss and move the volume up but please please please Robbie don't alter the music and become the George Lucas of classic rock. I'll have to check this one out.

The Great Tribulation is upon us! The UN will now take Obama's words as a 'go-ahead' for destroying religion as foretold in WT prophecy.
That organisation is such a joke. They can't even enforce their own resolutions, let alone destroying ALL world religions.

If I am going to hell then I will be granted something I have always longed for - a face-to-face encounter with one Joseph Franklin Rutherford, Esquire. I'll try to smuggle in some scotch and we'll see how it goes.

Nathan probably tallyed up a list of how many times he caught her masturbating from heaven after he stepped over and is giving the list to Jehovah now.

why Jehovah's witnesses? not yaweh witnesses?
by purrpurr inthis i never understood, the publications say that gods name translated from hebrew is yaweh.
why add a whole bunch of letters and vowels that change the sound of the name completely?
i've often thought surely we would gain greater respect on the ministry if we used a name that is historically and verbally accurate?.

The letter "J" or the corresponding sound when it is pronounced in English does not even exist in Hebrew. Modern Hebrew had to create a new letter to correspond with the English "J" in the 20th century in order to be able to spell and properly pronounce foreign words. The sound of 'Jehovah' has to sound rather silly to Hebrew scholars. Maybe that was a minor part of the reason why the WTS inserted that name into the Greek Scriptures.

That's how I remember it. Constant reminders from the podium of the CO's visit like we were all children, the house with rubbish strewn all over the floor, and the stern parent is on the way home. I started to tune it out. What was this man going to do to me? I was already giving them a good portion of my hours every week. If he wanted more then he's an ungrateful little shit.
