  The JW life is good!

  by Julia Orwell in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  for some people.

  i think of the old man who has no family and lives in a nursing home, and the only time he gets out is when he's picked up for the meetings.

  he lives solely for that.. or people who love routine and busy-ness, people who need to be led.. george orwell wrote that the party is best able to impose its worldview on those least likely to understand what it is that's being asked of them: orthodoxy is unconsciousness.. i believe a lot of jws swallow the party line and it passes through them unharmed, like a seed pooped out by a bird.

  "those who are rightly disposed for everlasting life'' it sounds pretty if weightless of substance; it qualifies as an example of what "vapid" describes: " Offering nothing that is stimulating or challenging, i.e. "tuneful but vapid musical comedies".

  Is this true? Don't Call 911 If The Guy In The Next Seat Falls Ill at The DC?

  this from a recent thread: .

  "recent ridiculous instructions about not calling 9-1-1 yourself at district conventions if someone is having a heart attack but, instead, telling an attendant, who is supposed to let the first aid department know so they can come and assess the person and then call the paramedics.".

  i hadn't heard this before.... sadly, it seems in perfectly in character for them.

  Symposium: Beware of Apostates! - 'God's Word is Truth!' District Convention of Jehovah's Witnesses 2013 - not on JW.ORG

  It's not on jw.org because that site is accessible to the uninitiated public -- including prospective converts -- and this anti-apostate diatribe is meant exclusively for the mind-deadened indoctrinated sheeples.

  'They really do follow the maxim "better to say nothing and have people think you a fool rather than open your mouth and remove all doubt"..... That's why any sort of participation in a moderated public forum, or granting of interviews to the press, etc. is anathema to them.

  The new light re 1919 appointment of FDS demolishes the 'one true religion' concept

  by yadda yadda 2 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  another poster on here called separation of powers made a profound comment on another thread recently that i thought was worthy of starting a new thread about:.

  "in my opinion, the new light regarding the fds addresses this question, if there was no fds from the 3rd century on until 1918, and yet the article states that there were anointed followers here and there during that almost 2000 years of no fds, then what organization did they follow?

  there was no organization, yet they were anointed per the article.

  I thought the old buggers really "jumped the shark" with their "overlapping generations" daydream; but this July 15 WT takes the prize.

  Here comes Baruch again

  somehow this weeks book study, which covered some more about baruch, managed to turn it into a slam against education or trying to improve yourself very much.

  ok, he didn't "seek great things for himself.

  " but to twist that into the diatribe against college education, under the pretense of a bible study, is simply appallingly irresponsible!

  JULY 15th Study Watchtower - NEW LIGHT IS FANTASY

  by The Searcher in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  the july 15 study watchtower uses all 4 study articles to try to inculcate into every witnesses' mind that the governing body is indisputably god's sole channel of communication on earth.

  to do so, it uses a multitude of scriptures along with seriously flawed un-inspired reasoning.

  the foundation stone of this watchtower's blatant agenda is the claim that when jesus used only a few to dispense the physical food to the many, he was setting a principle which would be applied to the distribution of spiritual food after he returned to heaven.

  " The GB clearly doesn't do it all - they just have oversight of it. "....

  I don't believe that when it comes to actual writing of articles, they don't do ANY of it.... not one of these guys has "scholar" on his resume'.... they're all a bunch of former itinerant DOs brought in to Bethel and groomed for the job (whatever that means). Not one of them has anything approaching the stature -- or gravitas, etc. of -- Franz and Knorr, not to mention Ray Franz, Ed Dunlap, Karl Adams, or any of the other "heavies" of the '50s and '60s.

  "The only result I will not accept is losing my wife and children.
  I won't leave her in a burning building because she doesn’t realize
  it is on fire. I would have little influence from the outside. Im
  unsure what course I will take but I know it will take some time,
  because the roots are very deep , and there are few things more
  powerful than familial approval."

  C.O.B.E, Very, VERY well said; thanks, I can certainly relate. Except that I've already "stepped down" as an elder, I'm wearing precisely the same shoes.
