i'm just back from the meeting where it was a video presentation given by the circuit overseer.
apparently it's not on general release, only being viewed during co visits at the moment.
top secret.
So it appears the rumor about Geoffrey Jackson getting married again (after his wife's fairly recent passing) is true...
Sadly, he's already referring to his new wife as "The Wife" as if she were an inanimate object (maybe she's inanimate in bed, who knows?)... but this is indicative of backward JW upbringing...
Sorry for getting off topic, Slim... couldn't help myself...
Anyways, so they're now introducing the idea of packing up your shit and moving your entire family to a 3rd-world country as another way to improve their youth retention rate... I've never heard that before... it'll be interesting to see what the rags for 2014 will look like...
in 1914 a great war broke out and the jw's have used that to add credibility to their idea that jesus took over power in that year and satan was cast out to earth.
what most people forget or do not realize is that jesus said there would be 'wars and reports of wars' but no big deal for the time was not yet.
then of course the great tribulation would break out and would be a game changer, but in the 1960's the gb stopped saying the great tribulation started in 1914 and said its now a future event.
Also, supposedly Jesus took the throne in October 2 or 3, 1914, then started a war in the heavens. At the end of this heavenly war, Jesus kicked Satan's ass and cast him down to the earth along with his demon soldiers. Afterwards, because he had great anger from getting his ass kicked, Satan decided to stir up some more shit by provoking the "Great War"...
Sounds half-way believable so far... except for one minor detail...
World War I started in July of 1914.
hi folks!.
someone told me that there is a rumor that soon the watchtower and awake's magazines will be only one (fusion).. anybody knows something concrete about that, or is only rumor instead?.
tj curioso.
They use the word "Nested" because "Inserted" sounds too sexual and worldly.
firstly, thanks to atlantis for providing us with the 2014 theocratic ministry school & instructions.... http://www.sendspace.com/file/d4djjj.
what i found most interesting in this 2014 theocratic ministry school schedule were the subjects that would be discussed during the week of jesus' supposed 100th anniversary on the throne.... week of oct.6.
bible reading: deuteronomy 1-3 no.1: deuteronomy 2:16-30 no.2: relief from satans wicked in?uence is near (rs p.3654 p.3663) no.3: does the bible teach that sexual relations are sinful?
One month later (NOV 2014), they will be reading Deu 18...
I wonder if anyone will wake up when they read Deu 18:20-22 (probably not)
i somehow got my hands on a high quality mp3 cd of the whole thing.
i don't know how to upload it online but i'll give it a shot if anyone here wants it.. any good sites to post audio online?.

One Day I'll Be Free... bumping your thread, in case someone needs it to help a family member...

Week of Oct.6
So, on Jesus' 100th anniversary on the throne, the #2 talk is... "THE END IS NEAR !!!"
(followed by some drivel about sexual relations being "Biblical" as long as you're married)
WTF ???
UNBELIEVABLE !!!
i don't often play games but i like the idea of playing a strategy game if it is well designed and has a historical or political basis.
i've enjoyed playing civilization and sim city before, although i never played even those a great deal.. can anyone tell me the best such game to play on the ipad so i can avoid wasting time on any rubbish games?
are ipad games up to scratch compared to games made for pcs and consoles and so on?
Chess works for me...
By the way, I was hooked on Sim City for several years... Had to quit cold turkey...
so, unexpectedly, the final talk was announced today and to my surprise and evil glee, they announced gerrit loesch as the speaker!
first off, at the beginning of his talk, he interrupted himself in the middle of his sentence to scold the microphone brother to lower my mike it's right in my face.. anyway, it was the talk on inspired truth, vs. inspired falsehoods.
he went through 6 expressions inspired by the demons.
Cedars... you're spot on. Because the new FDS definition is about them, they announce it in a special setting with "specal" people to draw more adoration for themselves. Had the Nu-Lite been about the "Great Crowd" or any other subject, they would have simply published it in a rag. Pompous @ssh0le$...
for the first time in years today.
to say that it took me five minutes to read the whole thing would be to flatter the rag.
it doesn't even seem to contain actual articles any more, just headings and bullet points and pictures.
Thanks Splash...
So assuming it costs the Watchtower Corporation 10 cents ($.10 USD) to produce a 32-page rag, their monthly rag-producing costs have dropped by $101,187,000 per month. That's a yearly savings of of over $1.2 Billion USD !!!
