Nice insights Blondie, you have a gift of cutting through the bs and getting to the point! Were you in the missionary field during your "Tour de Bethel"? You write like you were part of the committee, I have wondered if you and your husband helped with the research on Bible topics at Bethel.

Is the Copy Of Ray Franz's Trial By The Governing Body Online?
by ÁrbolesdeArabia ini think it's pages 320 through 330 where ray franz mentions, when the governing body prosecution asked the trial to be recorded, ray said, he had no problem as long as he got a copy of the trial his accusers would use against him.
i did a search on jwn and found no trace of this old audio recording, any old-timers here, know if ray franz released the audio cassette to the public?
it would demonstrate how irrational and unbiblical the gb movement is!.

What is "In Search Of Christian Freedom About"? Part two of COC or another route of Christian topics?

@badseed, Mulitnational companies are starting to rethink China, there are new wage issues coming forward in 2014-2016 dealing with Minimum Wages and Health and Welfare benefits causing companies to think "Vietnam", Latin America and possibly unstable African countries. Pennies matter to greedy companies, they don't care how their products are made, just as long as the shit is made cheap!
A friend bought me a pair of Nike shoes, I was surprised the metal parts you lace your strings through busted as I pulled my shoes tight. The plastic tip of the lace, used to push through holes, "stringing the shoes up" feel off the lace after one use! 60 Minutes Wedsday November 20th, 2012 additon dealt with cheap counterfiet goods China is great a making! Garbage products made to break!

WT elders school: The elders in our circuit appear to be "trained" quite well
by sir82 inmore ramblings from the recently concluded elders' school.. see the op on this thread for background: http://www.jehovahs-witness.net/jw/friends/242491/5/wt-elders-school-the-wts-has-progressed-from-just-plain-stupid-to-dangerously-stupid.
in part of the video mentioned above showing the "goofus" elder trying to handle the situation with the crying sister:.
the "goofus" elder went into the kingdom hall library alone with the sister when she left the auditorium.. you could hear literal, audible, gasps from the 100 or so elders watching the video.. a few moments later, as the sister was crying, "goofus" put out his hand and touched the sister's hand.. again, literal, loud, audible gasps from the audience.. they darkened the room while the video was playing so i couldn't see him, but i have to imagine the co was quite pleased that the audience grasped the "mistakes" that elder goofus was making.. .

How do we gain a wider audience to share these secrets of Jehovah Witnesses? The British have done good exposing the Scientologist as anti-psychiatrist, JWs are Disfellowship loving clowns waiting to pounce on any wrongdoing! Their leaders are rule making masters, and Bible knowledge Goober Pyles!

The Governing Body are power hungry men who don't read the Bible. Too busy with rules and regulations, how to disfellowship anyone preceived as committing a future crime against the Borg.
I hope Jehovah removes these trolls and shows us where the right religion is, and who he is backing up! It can't be a group of men who worshiped the United Nations, told Mexican brothers to lie and bribe, while allowing Malawians to die! May Jehovah Judge the Hoax!

Which Governing Body Members Do You Believe Read "Crisis Of Conscience"?
by JimmyPage inmy guess would be the ones featured prominently in the book.
franz speculated on different directions the wt doctrine might eventually take and he was proved right.
perhaps his ideas were considered by some to be good solutions to the corners they painted themselves into and stolen on that basis.

I doubt any of them read the book, none of the group who disfellowshiped Brother and Sister Vasquez have a Conscience to sink into a crisis.
The elderbody that RayP recorded, should not complain one bit, I know elders who secretly recorded brothers without telling the. Now I find the Governing Body used recording equipment to entrap their own, using third hand gossip to charge Sam Dunlap, Ray Franz, The Vasquez (Spanish Translators Living at Bethel-ze-bub) were treated worse than water-boarding.
The GB don't care about the Holy Bible, their concern is to prevent Christians from entering into the Kingdom of God, receiving glory by bowing to each other, and using their counterfiet religion to rob people of eternal life! I don't care much for those villians or sith lords!

Did the Apostle Paul exist
by Unbrainwashed publisher1 inhas any one ever found secular documented proof of the apostle paul's existence?.

Great Work "Christ Alone", there's plenty of evidence in my opinion to believe Paul existed.
No amount of early writings is going to convince anyone who is unable to weigh the evidence without prejudice. How many websites exist that claim "Jesus of Nazareth" never existed? The sheer amount of mental acrobatics used to discredit Bibilical and secular sources, are nothing more than cheap attempts at sensationalism.
The same goes with the Apostle Paul, you can prepare a large amount of research "Christ Alone", but in the end, will it change anyone's mind who is infatuated by their first year college teachers who say the darnest things?

I totally understand why Michael Jackson took propofol
by Hortensia ini've had it a couple of times in the hospital.
it's amazing stuff, one second you're awake, the next second you're asleep.
they turn it off, and you immediately wake up.

Are you able to exercise throughout the day? People taking sleeping pills don't usually have a good program, taking them various times, instead of one set time at night. Example:
At 8pm if you think you can't get to sleep until 11-12, take your Ambien and try not to read or watch anything with too much stimuli. If your doctor has given you one of the Benzo's, calculate a couple of hours before you desire to sleep. The problem I've seen is many take the medications as their laying down in their beds, waiting hours for the medications to kick, as they rehearse how their day went.
Our society is truly a sleep deprieved one, with so much stress, anxiety others deal with chronic pain and depression. There is no sure fire "silver bullet" for rest, only try to develop some kind of routine that tells your body, "hey we are going to wind our day down, and get relaxed (no reading material in bed), we don't need propofol to sleep!
When your sleep become really bad, I know some doctors will start handing out Seroquel 50-100mg, I hear it knocks you out for ten hours!

The Final Solution.. to the Anointed question.
by cyberjesus inthis cult who thought at some point that all of them were going to go to heaven realized that their numbers were growing therefore they had to create another group to explain the delay on their own rapture and their predicted end of the world.
they then created a separation of categories... the originals, the old ones, in other words the anointed, a selected groups that you cant be part of because only 144,000 are selected, so they had to come up with all sort of excuses why the end was not coming.
so many explanations to jesus words.. they were buying time, the end had to come at any moment, 1941... 1975... before the end of the century.... but at the last moment this cultish doctrine back fired on them... the number of the originals kept growing... these "divinely" (self) appointed group who wrote countless letter of bible interpretation to gods headquarters kept increasing.

JWN has brought the fastest growing segment of the Organization (the annointed-Little Flock) and discussed the related problems this doctrine presents to the Governing Body. I know Blondie and other members had asked how the Governing Body would attempt to discredit this problem.
Randy Waters with his scoop three months ago predicted something big coming down the Pike. His source was right on, the outward dismissal of faithful annointed ones are no longer "Slaves of Jesus Christ helping prepare food for the domestics".
The waterdown version of the Watchtower and Awake (Dumbing down badly, Spiritual Mush) are proof the pool of educated JWs is falling off a cliff. I pity many of the home schooled JW kids whose parents never spent a hour helping them get their grades past a C. Many can barely read at the Kingdom Hall, do basic addition and the COs use these kids as examples of perfect children! What a sham!

Why not get some old 160mg pills of Oxycontin and burn off the time-delayed release chemicals on a silver spoon and shot it up? I hear it's better than propofol, a drug used for invasive surgery procedures, car crashes, forth degree burns, limbs hanging off! OMG!
A drug used to stop the pain of a soldier who just had his leg blown off? Very strange!
