  New type of Bible study publication audio

  by neat blue dog in

  has anybody heard the new audio recordings for the main study book enjoy life forever?

  instead of a straightforward reading, it's mixed with reenacted "quotes" delivered in a phony-natural voice from men and women, with hip music in the background.

  the organization is so up to speed and innovational lol.

  Harry, Meghan the Royal Apostates

  i just watched the oprah interview.

  i know that many view them with little interest as just entitled wastes of space and i get that.. however, the description of how they were "trapped" and silenced and forced into perpetuating the system with little or no personal freedom rang bells for me.

  they are effectively shunned, estranged and disparaged by their family and cut off from support.

  "To the manor born " is hard to learn.

  There are good historic reasons for the royal family being forbidden entering political discussion.

  The misapplied: "all men are created equal" actually had to do with the supposed divine right of kings.

  I think I should be able to go to Mexico, work, buy any property I want and avoid taxes.

  There are actually few countries that are as attractive as the USA, Canada, western Europe

  A Gem I over heard at my fathers mid week meeting

  i overheard this, while my father was listening to the mid week zoom meeting.

  apparently all the reshuffling with the bethelites having to do their own food prep and washing was because it would free up space for better utilisation, and bethelites who were needed for these jobs could now be out in the field ministry.

  omg😳 i also chocked when i heard that.

  Fewer cooks, waiters, laundresses to feed and house.

  The reassigning to ministry is actually a layoff.

  Imagine having to make your own bed, cook yourself, do your own laundry instead of having a maid and butler

  this is a sobering reminder of what happened some 40 years ago when raymond franz and others were literally kicked out from the jehovah's witnesses for having pre-arranged private spiritual discussions.lesson: paragraph 7 is another example of the i and t in dr. steven hassan's bite model of the 21st century cult - information and thought control at its best!!!!

  I got that the GB is curtailing the local elders adding extra congregational meetings. The ones here had an hour every morning, 2 hours Saturday. Showed the same videos over and over. Gave special talks. 3 hours on go bags one time. Even made announcements and when people asked why they had not heard them were told they should have been tuned in during the week.

  There were in times past " study" groups that went into extra material. Including why Sister Annointed was having prophetic dreams and to pay attention to her.

  Now we wave on zoom. The clapping is because it is over.

  True, the bigger anxiety is being lied to

  However, they want to project the image of intelligent businesslike people when speaking to ‘worldly’ persons who in general are certainly more educated and would not respect somebody who isn’t

  Yep. That polyester suit will do the trick. Those long slinky skirts attract comments ( sexy) I watched and listened incognito at work
