  The mere fact they find it necessary to prepare this little skit for a Circuit Assembly shows they realize how many JWs are gagging over this "new light"

  Draconian Rules for Attending "Special Convention"

  by BluesBrother in

  2. friends

  british dubs are invited to attend a special convention next summer in dublin , irish republic.

  o k, this kind of trip has been done many times before.

  however i have never seen such a crude and rigid set of rules that would apply to their own people going on a trip, at their own expense of course.

  " It particularly seems petty to exclude wheelchair users and those with very poor sight or hearing..." sure it does; it's a bid to create an idealized, sanitized, upscale image of what they hope to sell to the local media, and also to local JWs -- as the typical JW demographic.... pure fiction.

  being a jw exposed me to many bible stories.

  when i am with any group of people today, except seminary students, i know far more stories and obscure ones, too.

  after i left, i went on a tour of the cathedral in ny.

  ... I've often wondered what's the percentage of the Bible's more than 31,000 verses that comprises the JWs core beliefs? "All scripture is inspired of God and beneficial," but some are more equal than others!

  i'm on page 90 right now...the info is definitely new and gives me a totally diff view as to how i used to think of faithful and discreet slave.

  i was thoroughly disgusted with the way the brothers handled the oral sex and leadership problem and the insight on the scriptures book...... still have alot of questions though.

  Bizarre statement in April 2012 Awake

  by dozy in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  as books go, it is tiny, but it is immeasurably great in its essence.

  it can be carried in ones pocket,but if it were found in a library of 90,000 different books, it would probably turn out to be the most important one of them all.. wow a strong endorsement of the bible?

  er no this is the wtbts we are talking about here.

  Hmm.... are they really touting a 20-year old book? Are they so incapable of writing anything new of spiritual interest they have to recycle it? Or maybe they just discovered large numbers of the book languishing somewhere in a corner of their storehouse....

  well, i sat thru day 2 of the latest circuit assembly.

  instead of having the co or do re address the "generation" confusion, they had a couple of brothers do a demonstration.

  mocha break out in service, weaker brother mentions he's tired....all of the changes lately, the confusing new understanding of that generation, et al.

  " they had a couple of brothers do a demonstration. Mocha break (!) out in service'."... don't tell me they're institutionalizing the door-to-door mid-morning coffee break cop-out!

  and on and on it goes, study article after study article, foisting a totally unnatural, unappealing lifestyle on the flock, behavior manipulation via guilt, fear, mind-numbing repetition and bogus uber-phony "real-life examples" of JWs turning their backs on a normal life ... it seems they've all but abandoned the publishing of study articles on doctrinal issues and/or prophecy that were so frequent 30 or do years ago..
