  Gerrit Loesch was at our DC today!

  by goatshapeddemon in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  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$...

  What on earth happened to the magazines?

  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 !!!

  TWA flight 800....a cover up conspiracy I happen to believe...

  by Glander in

  1. social

  the official ruling that it was faulty wiring in a fuel pump that caused a boeing 747, 11 mins after take-off, to explode never seemed credible.

  that, plus eye witness accounts of a streak of light going up, towards the plane, were explained away with the most contorted reasoning.. the plane's altitude had not exceeded the range of a shoulder fired, "stinger" missile which could easily have been fired from a boat.

  other theories are that it was a us navy missile.

  Airlines were forced to make stupid modifications like nitrogen generating systems to displace oxygen in the fuel tanks... totally unecessary and ridiculous... all done to give the TWA 800 investigation credibility...

  You can throw matches in a trash can filled with Jet fuel all day long... it won't explode... Jet A fuel only ignites when it is atomized, meaning you have to force it through a nozzle and create a spray pattern...

  So, i too agree that the Center Fuel Tank did not explode on it's own....

  by nolongerconfused in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  so what is a jw's explanation on why animals grow old and die?.....

  last time i checked, animals did not sin nor did they rebel against god.... so why do they have the same fate as humans?.

  has anyone asked this question?.

  I asked an elder that very same question when I was a kid... His response:

  CA, not everything is in the Bible or the Publications, but you can be sure that Adam's sin had something to do with it.

  WTF ????

  Tech49 on HOURS, TIME, and REPORTS

  by Tech49 in

  2. beliefs

  i thought i would share some of my observations on counting field service time, reports, etc.

  and how those reports are viewed, to those that are still so fixated on numbers.. i served as secretary on the service committee for many years, and have seen it all!.

  i was really disheartened when wt changed the requirement for aux pioneering to allow for 30 hrs, instead of the 50 it has been for so long.

  TYPICAL EXCHANGE WHEN A DUB DOESN'T TURN IN TIME...

  Secretary: Brother Weak, have you turned in your time?

  Brother Weak: No

  Secretary: Why not?

  Brother Weak: Because I didn't go to Field Service last month.

  Secretary: OK. But did you talk to anyone at all about Jehovah for at least 15 minutes?

  Brother Weak: Well, let me see...

  Secretary: Hold that thought. I'm going to put down that you did at least 15 minutes. If that didn't happen, just call me later. OK?

  Brother Weak: But...

  Secretary: Relax brother. We'll talk later.

  Brother Weak: OK...

  Do Jehovah's Witnesses REALLY believe that their worldly friends, relatives and small children will be slain in the street by god?

  by jambon1 in

  2. friends

  i mean, it's so utterly ****ed up, it's unbelievable.. just think about the nitty gritty of it:.

  people that they love & care for who don't share their religion deserve to be killed, left without a grave & eaten by wild animals.

  one day, this will happen & they'll be surrounded by billion upon billion of decaying, rotting corpses.

  Separation of Powers said:

  It's like when the flight attendant is going over the safety procedures before a flight, "make sure you put your oxygen mask on BEFORE assisting anyone else."

  However, I should point out that the reason this is done is because parents will tend to help their children put their masks on first before putting on their own. It's natural parental instinct. However, if they do that, they stand a good chance of sufficating before being able to completely help all of their children. Since children can generally go a liitle longer without sufficient oxygen than adults, the advice is given to "put your mask on first before helping others around you".

  (But i do get your point)

  But isn't this considered a rejection of God's meat in due season?
