  i just came home from a day in nyc and was taken to the met for the the woman and her offspring tour i went to keep peace and just enjoy my family.

  i've been to the metrpolitan museum of art on many occasions and have enjoyed spending time wandering thru the exhibits appreciating the art and history.

  since all family members wanted to do the tour by the wts entitled a woman and her offspring, i thought i could just follow along and just enjoy the art and exhibits.. in all honesty, i'm still amazed at this whole tour.

  Just in case their lack of knowledge of their own religion's history is an issue, this title from the same series is a bit more familiar for most JW:

  What wing and circle symbol did Satan use?

  This one?

  

  And/or this one that good Jehovah worshipping king Hezekiah used?

  Quite Possibly The Most Sinister Speaker Ever?

  by pale.emperor in

  hi guys.. "brother" jose is quite possibly the most sinister speaker i've ever seen or heard.

  and i've seen/head a lot of cults in my time.. he's over the top with his voice tone and gestures.

  i see a future governing body member in the making here:.

  If this guy worked for a different religion/cult and I were still a JW, I'd surely think he's possessed by demons.

  It's a good thing I don't believe any of that nonsense anymore.

  I Found Something Better Than "The Truth"!

  by Divergent in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i often come across jw's using the "worldwide brotherhood" as one of the reasons to justify that jw's have "the truth.

  " such a brotherhood, they claim, would not exist outside the organisation because there is no way that people of different religions, nationalities, races, cultures, backgrounds, languages etc.

  can be united and associate together freely without "the truth!".

  Huh, just last week I stumbled upon a 2012 newspaper item about a (then) 29 year old ex JW who enjoyed couch surfing very much (too).

  Was that you by any chance? :-)

  @Blondie: afaik caretakers still live on premises for the halls here. Not sure about the one being sold though, never been there. Looking at the pictures on the website there appears to be an apartment at the corner of the building.

  The Netherlands have never been a good field for Watchtower to harvest in having one of the worst ratios of publishers to population in the western world. Too many tulips and not enough wheat.

  I dunno...I always thought we had more than enough weed here :-)

  Entertainment: What's everybody reading or into right now?

  i picked up bernard cornwell's the pagan lord at the library.

  historical fiction set in england after the death of alfred the great.

  i'm loving it, especially the between-the-lines wit and sense of timing in cornwell's writing, and the complete badassery of the protagonist.

  Comparing WT Library - 2011 vs. 2012

  a couple of years ago, i participated in a thread on this site comparing the old nwt (1984) to the new nwt (2013).

  i was able to produce a nwt mash up pdf showing the side-by-side differences between the two versions of the nwt.

  herethis site claims it will hold the file for download for a long time.

  @MMM,

  I have previously harvested the WOL contents from JWOrg. They didn't shut me down :-)

  So I guess harvesting PDF will also not be a problem.
