  CO talk at SAD appl. of 2 Thess. 1:8 & other mind control tactics

  by Kensho in

  now that i am really "awake" at the assemblies i pay more attention to what the borg's traveling enforcers say and the talk he gave was some "new light" on 2 thess.

  1:8 (probably his opinion).

  paraphrased " there is a thinking that has crept in somehow in the minds of some brothers over the years that because jehovah is a merciful &loving god he will not destroy those who have not been reached with the good news in different parts of the world or my family or bible studies need just a little more time, well they need to read this script.. .

  That just oozes love and compassion, and reverence for life, doesn't it? What pathetic nonentities these empty suits are!

  Quote from this week's WT study

  2. humour

  "god's servants on earth will not need to defend themselves against aliens from another planet.".

  good to know- but strangely no scriptural reference for this gem..

  We've come a fair distance from the Sermon on the Mount, it seems.

  Another elder came and told me I'm not an apostate and no-one can judge me.

  i'll call him bear, like teddy bear because he's big and nice.

  bear's the coboe, an intelligent but jittery man who suffers from a host of anxiety disorders.

  he 'just happened' to be driving down my street after the group, and 'just happened' to notice i was at home, tending to some animals.

  Julia, he seems to be well on his way to making that embrace; some of his remarks to you I'm sure would seem heretical to many, if not most, of his fellow elders or other uber JWs. Nonetheless , I would still recommend circumspection when discussing your misgivings with him.

  are the elders waking up too?

  by nowwhat? in

  2. beliefs

  we have an older very faithfull elder body and whenever they talk about armegeddon or the end of this system of thiings, they always use "very near, close, soon, etc".

  well on the stage one elder when talking about the great tribuation this week , he said "possibly in our lifetime" !!!

  that really caught my attention and even my wife's too!

  They may be bullied into keeping their misgivings to themselves, but lots of the friends I know find this recent spate of revisionism -- i.e. first the "overlapping generations" and this most recent FDS/GB fiasco unsettling.

  "They went out from us, but they were not of our sort..." - worst ever scripture to lead an anti-apostate talk?

  just found this on youtube.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b1eic5fiywe.

  not that i blame them for making the most of an otherwise dreary event, but i've never known a memorial to be treated like a high school prom before!.

  dna in dinosaur bones?

  by brian thomas, m.s.

  finding dinosaur dna is as unthinkable to an evolutionist as finding a flat earth would be to a geographer.

  I'm really sorry I never kept my Green NWT Bible with the dino illustration (I remember drawing eyeglasses on mine!)... I wonder how much a copy fetches on the collector's market.

  If the Governing Body are the Faithful and Discreet Slave, Could the Governing Body all die at once?

  by Eustace in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i'm thinking that if all the governing body members all died at once, it would disprove this whole "the governing body are the faithful and discreet slave" business once and for all.. the faithful and discreet slave, according to watchtower teaching, will continue to exist into the time of the end.

  so if the governing body all die at once, that means they ain't the faithful and discreet slave.. they need more youngish gb members quick!.

  Whatever one may think of its speculations and lines of reasoning, what strikes me is how much better it's written than the current level of WT output.

  and then, immediately after babylon the great is destroyed, almost without a break, look at matt 24 :29 -immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened and the moon will not give its light and the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken.. now in what sense will the sun be destroyed and the moon not give its light?

  are you ready for that?.

  and you'll fall across the finish line into the new world !
