  Zone overseer visit in middle Europe Lösch GB member talk

  by inbetween in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  thousands of witnesses carried by car or mostly busses joined the great worship of the gb, oh sorry jehovah.. here is a short summary of the talk given by losch: (my thoughts in brackets).

  1) the beginning was mostly about closing branches, kingdom halls etc, but all a proof of gods spirit of course.. then some experiences, you find in a yearbook type as well,.

  2) obey the slave, even if you dont fully understand, he compared it with a child trusting their parents (quit condescending, sheeple are like dumb children, mama org will think for them).

  A direct reference to Hitler, in German, in a German-speaking country? So much for the "discreet" component of "Faithful and Discreet!" Is he nuts?

  Something about Diane Lane that makes my skin crawl. Her "Under The Tusan Sun" is for me unwatchable.

  Room 215

  “My Heart was telling me that I could do more for Jehovah,” says Richard. WTF? Since when does The omnipotent Lord God Almighty actually need our help to accomplish anything? What does it say about Him that he's dependent on puny humans that He created and sustains, for anything at all? I thought we were to pray to Him for help, not the other way around!

  what does it matter?

  i belive its been found that the romans used both, so what does it matter?.

  what does it matter that the roman word for cross sounds also like a word for another god?.

  here is the promised debate.

  the subject is whether or not god has an organization.

  i'll start things simply:.

  StandFirm, it takes a very vivid imagination to squeeze a 130 year-old American millenialist religion into the mold of First Century Christianity. Kina like trying to fit a square peg into a round hole. Who, for example, is their latter-day Agabus? Where are the collections for widows and orphans?

  Did anyone see "Four Weddings" on TLC 2011/05/06 - JW bride

  by Scully in

  1. social
  2. entertainment

  only caught part of this program during my tea time at work last night.. the premise: 4 brides competing with each other, and hosting the other brides at their wedding, scoring the wedding and reception.

  the prize was an all expenses paid island honeymoon.

  i didn't particularly care what was on tv, but a couple of my colleagues were watching it, but boy did i ever do a double take when one of the brides, named celeste, would not enter the church for the second and third weddings, based on her beliefs as a jehovah's witness.

  In my area, in New Jersey, JWs are increasingly opting for the ceremony to take place at the reception venue instead of the Kingdom Hall. It's one way to circumvent the intrusive, annoying need to review the details of the wedding with the elders and to grovel before them for the dubious "privilege" of being granted use of the Kingdom Hall.

  The GB tightening their grip! Straw to break a camel's back?

  by punkofnice in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i post on a couple of forums and read and lurk and all that stuff.. a theme that seems to be gaining momentum is about how the gb are 'tightening their grip' and 'becoming more cultish'.. i don't read the publications anymore and oddly i read extracts of them on the forums.. punk is babbling now.............sorry...................my questions are (sorry if they're a bit long.

  sorry if i sound like satan: 'is it really so?

  ' but then i am a mentally diseased apostate).. 1. are the gb really tightening their grip or is it just the same as it ever was........but..........we just notice the propaganda more now we're out?.

  Let's ask ourselves: What is the likely result of being fed a steady diet of "Respect us! Obey us! Or Else" in a drumbeat that gets louder and louder?

  for your parousal or comment if you feel like it.

  "in 1921, before most of us were born, a remarkable study began tracking the loves and lives of 1500 americans from childhood to death.

  the study continues even today, with research teams led by howard friedman still keeping tabs on the remaining few who are still alive and analyzing massive amounts of data to establish what it is precisely that led some to stay well and others to fall ill or die before their time.. > .

  Charity, well done! You should, however, have given this item a title.
