  Rapid change in the world,jobs disappearing,money being drained out of our society into the world economy, equalizing everything out until chinese and americans live at the same economic level, loss of direct human service in corporations,you have to discuss your problems with a computer voice,theres only 1 place to buy hardware in Australia now, Bunnings stores,no competition,pretty soon there will only be one supermarket chain,one bank,noone will leave their home even to order groceries,everything will go thru the computer.
  And then?
  The intelligence inside this plastic box, one mind, will reveal its true nature. Satan speaks. After that will come the "mark of the beast' retinal scans to order over your computer terminal and a chip in your right hand that you may authorize payment. The most hideous totalitarian mind control system ever concieved will encompass the entire planet.
  This is my nightmare.
  Does anyone else fear it? Sense it coming?
  Have I just been reading too many books about mind control??
  Am I paranoid? or one of the elect?
  Tell me...please....

  Watchtower & Awake Subscriptions

  by Amazing in

  2. friends

  in another thread the point was made that the wts is ending subscriptions to the watchtower and awake!

  magazines.

  isp rightly commented the following, "the wts gets double payment for the mags from the r+f......so subscribers are not cost effective!".

  every corporation on earth is downsizing, tightening up, cutting services, and going onto computer communication. Why should the Watchtower be exempt? Magazines and books will DISAPPEAR completely.
  everything will be on one of these plastic boxes.

  QUESTIONS FROM JOELBEAR

  by You Know in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  on the previous thread ( http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/forum/thread.asp?id=17150&site=3) on disfellowshipping you asked several questions: where is the scriptural reference that says qualified men will serve as judges in the congregation?

  probably one of the most important portions of scripture in that connection is the 6th chapter of 1st corinthians.

  there, paul chided the corinthians because they were using worldly judges to settle their disputes among themselves.

  yeah. fine. but youre overlooking the glaring fact. The Witness org is corrupt and produces evil fruit. It destroys peoples lives. It cant possibly be Gods instrument.All this scriptural wrangling demonstrating that the dubs have the right interpretation of scripture means nothing.

  i was a regular christian before a jehovah's witness person came knocking on my door.

  i did not know what a jehovah's witness was when i met her.. she's a very nice person, and brings her 14 year old daughter everytime.

  she says i should not watch tv, and should not listen to music, and should not play video games, because they will corrupt me, because they are what devil has created.. my friend told me that they are extremests and he is very worried about me being in contact with jehovah witness people (as you can see, i'm not too sure of how to address them either).

  You could always say "Im a worshipper of Satan" , they would flee before that one.
  Better still say "Im disfellowshipped", unless they're a pastor in the church you wont see them for dust. It worked for me the other month.

  Geez Im startin to feel like an agony aunt here...
  Uh, well, from long experience I can only tell you that there is no way to be nice about breaking off contact with a cult.
  They WILL NOT take no for an answer.
  Youre just gonna have to be blunt.
  Theyll say, "But WHY dont you want to talk about it"?
  And youll have to say "I dont WANT to talk about why I dont want to talk about it".
  These people rely upon your social nicety to convert you. Noone likes to be rude, and they put you in a position where you HAVE to be rude to get away from their clutches.
  Dont feel bad about it, Always remember, theyre only CULT members.
  They dont REALLY love you.
  And whatever you do, dont ever get involved with the Mormons
  if THEY come to your door, if you think the Witnesses are hard to get rid of ...sheesh!

  You wont get an arguement from me buddy.I heard another theory that Jesus was the illigitimate sprog of a roman centurian,and had a deformed back. Lot of theories out there.
  And dont call me kiddy, Ive read more books about mind control than youve eaten hot meals in your entire life.

  Why miss Tammie you can post damn near anythin you want anywhere you want on this site.Dont worry about it.
  As for your idea, guess I spent a lot of years wondering that same thing, what if I could go back. I would get an education, probably at university and I would take out all those pretty girls I was too scared to ask. Thats about all..

  Anybody want XJWNews.com?

  2. friends

  the recent un scandal and the departure of some dear friends and loved ones from the borg inspired me to get xjwnews.com off the ground.

  i always dreamed of a site like that, but i don't think that i have the will to keep running it.. in our first month, we had nearly 20,000 hits.

  kent, simon, randy and several other xjw's with single name status helped along the way.

  Nowaytess, if your gonna run a board on anything youd better learn to write and spell first,but Im sure our buddy would rather burn his site to the ground than turn his baby over to a fundy nut like you.

  Why the WTS love to name call! Awake June 22

  2. friends

  ever been called an apostate?

  other such name or label?

  well you should know why and how such names are used and why they are used purposefully by the wts.. awake june 22 ,2000 page 6. some people insult those who disagree with them by questioning character or motives instead of focusing on the facts.

  No. Brother U-NO is right. Id never thought of it like that before.
  I DO set pitfalls to trap Witnesses and lure them out of the "truth" (slur label).
  But then I do it in all good faith. I believe I am trying to save them from an "evil empire" (another slur label). My conscience is completely clear. Just like theirs . the orgs.(slur)
