Run!
having to sit through this at the meeting just now.. blatantly saying to obey without question: "will you be as determined to comply with god's guidance as jeremiah was?
", "...accepting the guidance given through the faithful slave class is for your lasting good.".
this is so painful to sit through :(.
Blondie - >> Jeremiah complied with "God's guidance" but not the guidance of the religious leaders of his day.
Good ol' Jeremiah. Just one more religious nutter hearing voices in his head. Today he'd be given medication and strict supervision.
the nwt been matthew through rev only?
btw, what is up with the login code word, mbator?
how did it know?.
Or look at it this way: the bible is THE most over-rated book ever. It is stupefyingly boring. It's full of the misogynistic ramblings of religious zealots and other assorted nutjobs.
The fact that so many people are wiiling to squander so much of their precious time arguing back and forth about the arcane minutiae of this completely outdated and irrelevant dribble is beyond me.
or so says the person who left this comment on jwsurvey.org.... what just amazes me is how people can pass judgement on others, make vast sweeping statements and make out that they know best.
this isnt just based on this page, but other pages ive read on this website.
while youre at it why not just say all black people are criminals, all asians are rapists and all white people molest their children.
Errr, jhine -I think you got the wrong end of the stick regarding Cedars' post.
He is not agreeing with JWs - quite the opposite in fact.
Maybe re re-read the post?
And for the love of god - use the bloody return key a few times! Paragraphs are your friend.
so in the congregation you had those wine and bread loving annointed people?
but i ask, why did the men that were annointed not immediately appointed as an elder, and then a circuit overseer and so on up the ranks.
it would seem to me, that if god saw them fit to rule in heaven.
Probably because they were all completely insane. Most of the anointed I knew couldn't even dress themselves. Only the truly strange slurped and munched come memorial time.
just wondering, do christians feel animals can be demonized?
i wonder, as i have some questions about demonized.
does the demon become the person, and send the person packing to some sort of waiting room?
Ah! Bacteria again - Fakesmile. I tells y'all them bacteria are possessed.
To answer your question Aguest this is a very serious thread.
I was very pleased to learn that demons could be downloaded over the 4G network. I will now be casting my iPhone over the nearest cliff. Or giving it to a pig.

<snip> double post
i'm sure alot of you have noticed, the influx of new jwn members with "postitions within the cong" this is amazing, i myself am still an m.s.
working to get removed.
lol my wife (who has been really supportive throughout my fade) asked my why i am doing i decided to fade?.
Bethel in the late 80s and an MS.
Left Bethel, moved congs, stepped down as an MS and never ever set foot in Hall ever again.

So which animals are we talking about here?
Just dogs? Pigs maybe? Lions? Do the demons have standards in the animal pocession process?
What about fish? Snails? Parakeets? What about if you went to the zoo and all the animals were controlled by demons!! Maybe zoo keepers should get their zoos exorcised on a regular basis - just to be on the safe side.
And then there's all that bacteria that lives all around us and on us and in us. What if those demons take over the bacterial hordes that dwell in and on our bodies? Hundreds of millions of demons living in our intestines - that can't be good.
i went and saw the book of mormon when i was in nyc last week.
it was superb.
so many great songs and so, so funny.

It made me realise how similar those poor deluded Mormons are to the deluded JWs. Although the Mormons, it must be said, have a special kind of wackiness and this is used to great comic effect by the writers.
But there are so many home truths revealed that ring so true for JWs as well. If you get the chance to see it - DO IT!!!
