"The condition my brains were in as a JW, they needed washing."
So you admit that you were an ignorant moron while a JW, thank God you're out then. Now I understand why it was so easy for Ray to get into your brain.
part 4: the last km school .
the average jw elder participates in extra exclusive activities over and above the rank & file jw: among them are the judicial committees, private meetings with the circuit and district overseer on various official occasions, possession of the secretive flock book, and kingdom ministry school.. of all these, the least frequently experienced is km school.
it is not all that exciting, because much of what is covered is admonition about what most jws already know that elders are supposed to be doing: examples in field service, regular shepherding calls, meeting preparation and attendance, study with the family, etc.

When Amazing found Franz's book on the library shelf, a book he had been looking for, and a book that was almost always checked out, that may well have been God answering his prayers.
Or it could have been Satan.
following my note of jan 30 which detailed the way the society has been damaged during 2001 - .
un involvement rocks the society.
leaks from the elders school.
Oh yea, bring on the persecution so that we can prove that JWs DO have the truth!

Typical for God, he does not say anything directly in eturn ... just silence
Why would he answer you? You had already made your decision without God to leave, so there was no sence in him answering your prayer. Your faith was already dead, brainwashed by Ray Franz.
was visiting this week and in his talk he got on the subject of movies.
he began by admitting that he was not familiar with the rating code but that it was wrong for a christian to see an r rated movie.
he stayed at least five minutes on the subject.. afterwards there was the usual, abbreviated wt study and i found paragraph four particularly interesting:.
I think it's silly to say R movies are wrong. The R rating in the US, can be a PG in Australia, and vice versa. For example, The Matrix was R rate in the US, but I think it was a PG in Australia. So a JW in Australia could watch it and not the once in the US?
or this could be titled: "ridicule this!
" that's because the ridiculer doesn't just ridicule old men in brooklyn, or the bible, or the religion of their family; rather those so inclined ridicule reality itself.
the beauty of the truth, though, is that it is irrepressible, so much so that even some of the sons of this system can, by the power of reason, unknowingly arrive at the same conclusion jehovah forsaw centuries before.
You Know:
Did you read my last post on this thread?
Can you provide me with the scripture from Isaiah so that I can analyze it?
keep in mind that the blood cards are produced and circulated in all other countries worldwide.
if they are not so in the us, please do not scream too loudly that major changes are occuring etc., because this has got to be some local us thing, if it is true what you say that they are not renewed in the us.
Alan, I respectfully disagree.
In the following sentence: "The decision not to distribute the 2001 printing of the blood cards was not due to a "printing error" but to a change in policy at the highest levels of the Watchtower political machine, and it took place very recently."
This is only you speculating the worst case scenario and then you make it sound like it is a fact.
In this case, Amnesian was a little more open minded when he said:
"Well, speculation is a fun distraction for only a brief while. But, in the end, entirely useless. From here I'm satisfied to wait and see. Expectantly, I should honestly add "

Amnesian: Our congregation is ordering some cards using the literature arrangement. But they will be the cards with the 3/99 date.
I think it is important to renew the cards yearly so that it reflects the most accurate information (i.e. address, phone numbers, contact information, allergy info and current use of prescription drugs). But also starting with last year, the enphasis was given to filling out the DPA forms by each baptized publisher. This being a more legal document.

this is the latest "new light", and this subject has been discussed all over the board, i've heard.. instead of claiming all and everything, i feel it's much better to produce evidence to what the rules really are - and then the jw apologists can simply shut up and accept facts.. i will be interested in comments.. yachyd da.
NameWithheld: Fine, work yourself up in your own mind with this conspiracy nonsence. Fire the editor for an error? I'd hate to work for you.
last night at meeting they told us to just use our blood cards from last year.
in the past they've always told us how important it was to get it signed every year so that people could see our current views as jw's.....doesn't this new arangement negate everything they've ever said in regards to this?
absolutely nuts!.
Free2Bme: How do you know it is the "official lie"? They have no reason to lie about the cards. Your accusation can be considered slander.
