  A truly creepy 2007 public talk by Ciro Aulicino - You Will Be With Me in Paradise

  by Tatiana in

  2. beliefs

  i searched for this here and didn't find any posts about it.

  i just found this while searching for info as i was debating a jw on another site.

  this is the most mind-blowing, spaced-out, insane bunch of mess i've ever heard.

  This is the real face of the WTBTS, the one it obscures from the public view; the one it now gives voice to in the Kool-Aid edition.

  In short, I would say diminished commitment and increased living of the so-called "double life."

  i hope to obtain more details later.. .

  all five cases are still within the criminal justice system.

  By having "sorted it all out" does she mean the JWs, now staring facing criminal charges in the face, suddenly "gotten religion" and are scrambling to comply with a law that has been three years on the books?

  apologies if already discussed - the second cos talk discusses 4 "important" areas where jws need to consider the biblical principles involved.. answers on a postcode ( clue - one word - 2 letters - 1st letter is "n" ).

  should a true christian?:.

  (1) use a social networking website.

  I always thought that the JWs missed out on a very constructive use of the Kingdom Hall property, to foster bonding and interaction by holding informal social gatherings on the property. Then they lament the absence of a truly fraternal spirit in the congregation. Haven't they ever read of the early Christians' "love feasts?" I remember, in the fifties and sixties, the friends really loved the type of innocent social gatherings Lady Viola described above. It did bring people closer together .

  Nice going, Brooklyn braintrust.... that ought to alienate a few more thousands of whatever progressives/liberals remain. The rest will likely just tune it out.

  I personally knew Charlie Ploeger, who served as Franz's assistant in the 607 BCE research effort for the Aid book; we worked closely together at Bethel. He confided to me that in his view the Society "didn't have a leg to stand on" with respect to the evidence. It's my impression that he has since faded, or was marginalized and cast out.

  I think PunkofNice has a point: This article seems intended to boost the word count for "Jesus" for anyone who does a word search on WTBTS publications ; otherwise its content is as bland as pablum.

  My sisters’ funeral service was just appalling. An absolute disgrace.

  my sisters' funeral service was just appalling.

  an absolute disgrace.. http://www.jehovahs-witness.net/watchtower/medical/216561/1/my-sister-died-this-morning-after-refusing-blood-on-four-occasions.

  the funeral was held today for my sister when every opportunity was used as a sales pitch to promote their malignant message, in this case to any non jw's that may be present, just like any other pyramid scam it seems.. the person whose funeral it is just has a minor bit part to play compared to the main feature , the promotion of the all encompassing multi-talented multi-tentacled wts that you can rely on to guide misguide and pervade every nook and cranny of your life including when to die.. and why not, because as gods only prophet to all mankind, they don't just hear gods voice, they are gods voice.. ***watchtower 1957 june 15 p.370*** "it is vital that we respond to the directions of the "slave" as we would to the voice of god.

  I don't have one in my possession, but I recall that there was a note on it a suggestion that the speaker "not eulogize" the deceased.

  Why have there been changes over the years in the teachings of Jehovah’s Witnesses?

  by mankkeli in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the bible shows that jehovah enables his servants to understand his purpose in a progressive manner.

  (prov.

  4:18; john 16:12) thus, the prophets who were divinely inspired to write portions of the bible did not understand the meaning of everything that they wrote.

  New Literature Arrangement

  by Quarterback in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  just recently the org has changed the literature distribution to the congregation members.. the changes are:.

  1) publishers are to pick-up their mag's weekly in preparation for what they think they will use that week.

  2) group conductors shall now distribute the study article of the wt, and the km.. wonder why they have changed this?.

  Pubsinger's point is well taken: the new policy seems directed at limiting the public's access to the Kool-Aid edition; if true, it's a ludicrous exercise in futility.
