  who needs a press secretary when the president details what is happening every day to keep us informed?

  i think he’s doing a very good job considering what is happening in the usa and the world..

  the house and the senate need to work together now to do their jobs..

  Simon you list of so-call "pork" hardly amounts to $2.5 billion... chump change when measured against a $2 trillion outlay. .And what's so bad about quality-of-life expenditures in art, culture, museums, schools, etc. in an advanced civilized society?

  Kudos to Schumer and the democrats for hanging tough and extracting concessions that block fat-cat corporate executives from stock buybacks, executive bonuses and shenanigans from Trump family members.

  How Will the Quarantined Dubbies React When the "All Clear" Sounds?

  seriously, i can't help wondering whether their hiatus from meetings and service will alter their post-covid-19 lifestyle once they experience the freedom of life in the absence of the hamster wheel?.

  May 2020 Study WT - more convoluted false prophesying

  by neat blue dog in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the first two study articles of the latest wt raise the usual sense of urgency with more of the same theological quackery russell would be proud of.. first up, something we've always known, the embarrassing admission that jws think they are the center of the universe:.

  even though god’s servants make up only a small portion of the world’s population, they are often at the center of major world events.

  because satan and his entire system have one prime objective—conquering those who serve jehovah .

  This may be the greatest evidence to date that Splane is bat-shit delusional.

  It shocks (and saddens) me that I once took this all so seriously.

  Michael Bloomberg—what’s your opinion of him?

  As one who has worked for -- and with -- Mike Bloomberg, I believe the measure of the man weighs decidedly in his favor. His philanthropy and activism, especially in his advocacy of sensible gun control measures and climate change, largely militate against his blunt, often caustic and stubborn nature. Typically, he's been tone-deaf to criticism of his simplistic, politically incorrect public policy statements, .i.e., on stop-and-frisk and red-lining, which he insists reflected pragmatism, not bigotry.

  If you're "anointed" don't seek out other "anointed" so says the Watchtower January 2020

  by RolRod in

  1. watchtower

  when i was affiliated with the witnesses, there were barely 6,000 who profess to be of the anointed remnant.

  i recently read somewhere that today there are over 20,000 who profess to be anointed.

  that figure may be more when you consider those who meet and partake privately for fear of the stigma of claiming to be anointed.

  JWs meeting -- and talking independently -- in small groups -- is anathema to a paranoid Governing Body; it's probably the real reason they dismantled the old midweek Book Studies in private homes.

  When he introduced the so-called "new Light" in 2013 limiting the FDS to just the Governing Body, Splane hinted that it would hopefully end the nuisance of having to deal with letters from the field submitted by the (newly demoted) individual anointed JWs, writing in to offer their independent "revelations" or "New Light" suggestions, etc. "Thanks but no thanks" was his implicit message.

  Wt. April 2020 Revised Joel Prophecy

  by BluesBrother in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  if this has been posted before, then my apologies..... article in april ‘20 wt changes the view of the locust swarm prophecy...formerly believed to describe the worldwide preaching by anointed.

  ”simply put, these verses refer, not to our zealous preaching work, but to the activity of the babylonian army that invaded jerusalem in 607 b.c.e.”.

  they also tie in the giving of holy spirit to the congregation at pentecost and thereafter.. the article is available to read in full on our least favourite website.. https://www.jw.org/en/library/magazines/watchtower-study-april-2020/an-attack-coming-from-the-north/.

  Very interesting. It's been some time since they've abandoned the focus on information to the general public in their Sunday talk subjects in favor of "reaching to the choir."

  Tme was when we speakers were counseled not to lace our public talk with esoteric JW jargon ("theospeak") that would not be understood by the uninitiated.

  2034 - A Future History of Jehovah's Witnesses

  by slimboyfat in

  i don't know what i am talking about... read this post at your peril.

  back in the 1960s there was, seemingly, a brief period of relaxation in authoritarianism among jehovah's witnesses.

  those who have read raymond franz's 'crisis of conscience' will have heard the story about dan sydlik's remark about the need to 'open some windows to let some air in here'.

  slimboyfat - "...some new 'prophet' will need to come forward from among them! A replacement for Freddy is still awaited..."

  Pseudo-sophist David Splane is currently trying on Freddie's mantle for size. He's the architect of the "Overlapping Genrations" fiasco and the 2013 demotion of all the anointed from being included as comprising the "Faithful and Discreet" slave....it's no longer a FDS "class" or a "John class" just the 8 teletubbies in Sterling Forest (Warwick). .
