"fine" this, "fine" that..... "the best assemby (meeting, convention, etc.) ever"... does anyone ever say: "actually I thought last year's was better" ??

"ones," as in "wicked ones," "faithful ones," etc.

DO Brown Payne tells SA audience Serena Williams "disciplined" by her local elders for swearing on TV

by oppostate in

at today's special assembly in natick ma, bro brown payne annouced to the audience that serena williams was disciplined by her local elders for her swearing escapade on tv.. saying: "can jehovah's witnesses swear like that on tv?

" then he told the audience that she was "disciplined" by the elders of the congregation she's a publisher in.. doesn't this smack of revealing the private business of another person?

the most the local elders could have said was "a matter concerning serena williams has been handled by the elder body".

Room 215

No biggie.... her run-in with the elders was mentioned in a profile published in the New York Times Sunday Magazine a month or so ago.

Jesus=The archangel Michael?

by WatchTowerofBabel in

(the first chapter of hebrews seems quite explicit on the issue).

but since scriptural texts don't seem quite enough for my jdub kinfolks (wtf?

), i tried to find out where this poppycock idea first popped up.. .

... maybe, maybe not; who cares, reallly and what difference does it make?

How will the present-day "anointed" react to their demotion?

by Room 215 in

i wonder how they will respond to their demotion to parity with the "other sheep" as mere "domestics" in god's house.

and what about the appontment of a 47 yeard-old to the governing boday?

in my neck of the woods, the word of any forty-something who began partaking would fuel the gossip mill for weeks!

It will be interesting to see what these events do to the number of partakers next year and beyond.

The Watchtower Attempts to Eliminate Discrepancies in Authority

by Emery in

i began pondering about the reasons why this new light was made and have come to a few theories that may be plausible.

my conclusion is that the society is hell bent on eliminating the discrepancies to their authority.. .

the ancient lineage of the faithful and discreet slave - eliminated.

Room 215

Personally, I think their new imaginings are so cocked-up as to be unworthy of a temperate response, much less of the thoroughly impressive refutations and intellectual capital lavished on it by contributors such as Leolaia and others-----
