Masons/Illuminati
by Black Man inanyone know anything concrete about the masons & the illuminati?
i've read some things here and there on the net but nothing outside of general ramblings?
i've heard the typical, "they run the freeworld", "when you become one, you're one for life", "you'll have a great hookup if you're one of them" spiel.

Hi Andi,
As a newbie I can't find on the site the meaning of LOL. Or is it a general chat/forum term? Can you help? Thanks.

Do you think the Elders in your Congregation.....
by JonnieMae in......knows about this site??
and do you think they know about the un fiasco?
how can we even mention the un without them knowing we've been searching the web for info against the wts?

I think very few elders would be able to handle this site or talk about anything meaningful, except maybe a handful who are really good people underneath and are in favor of free expression. I know of one, but am not really sure of him either. FEAR is what keeps most in line as their security blanket so they cannot really think like real people.

RESURRECTION AND THE NEW ORDER
by ricoananas inwbts insists on jesus' reply to the sadducees as literal about who's gonna marry whom in the new order because of multiple marriages in this life (asked by dudes who did not even believe in the resurrection and were always trying to come up with some riddle to trick jesus) is very important to the wbts and also very stupid.
imagine the vast preponderance of those resurrected as having been married before death.
if they "neither marry nor are given in marriage," that means that the overwhelming majority of people resurrected will constitute a sexless class.

I know that the living mate can remarry if they wish but I always had the impression that either all or part of the Sadducees' motivation in asking Jesus that question was because of their own inability to imagine that Jehovah could provide a solution for the FEELINGS involved when the resurrected spouse encountered her beloved husband married to another woman, both of whom had passed thru to the New System alive. Obviously WBTS couldn't handle the idea either so they came up with their own stupid solution to the problem. So BOTH the Sadducees and WBTS were not able to handle the thing so THERE. Sadducees = WBTS. Simple solution.

Just my own addendum:
Maybe I was too respectful in my congregation behavior in the face of stupid teachings like this. For example, after my wife passed and an elder told me my elimination of my meeting attendance perhaps would keep me from seeing my wife again when she gets resurrected, I thought of saying, "Yeah right, I can shake her hand and say, 'How ARE you?'" But I didn't. Afraid I guess. Any trying to reason with a blind one could be construed as apostasy. But perhaps sharing our "apostasies" like this online will have more good effect on others one way or another than casting our pearls in the congo where they will be trampled. -

Imagine the vast preponderance of those resurrected as having been married before death. If they "neither marry nor are given in marriage," that means that the overwhelming majority of people resurrected will constitute a sexless class. Don't they like "classes!" Those that pass alive thru the Great Trib will comprise the SEXED class. So if an Armageddon survivor sees an attractive person in the New Order, the Faithful Slave will have to have some kind of ID system in place, such as a big red letter on the forehead: S(exed) or U(nsexed), so that people will know whom to court and not to court. Wonderful New Order, where all natural faculties will be restored to people (except sex). The GB imagines that THEY are not the perverts. Explains also why when illustrations are shown where resurrected family members run toward each other, WBTS studiously avoids any representation that resurrected SPOUSES are running to each other. Perverted, cruel, stupid, unkind, unloving, hateful or what? Maybe All Of The Above.

He passed away last night.
by ashitaka ini was in a bookstore trying to forget the day when my father called me and told me that my grandfather had died.
he had passed only five minutes after we had left.. someone else was wondering what happens when we die.
well, i was reading the chronicles on narnia (something i do when i'm feeling a little lost), and something at the end of the last battle caught me eye.. "the term is over: the holidays have begun.

This elder wanted to resign in order to be at home with his terminally ill wife, and was asked if He Had Done Anything Wrong. He realized that it was when he became a JW.
