  You can [not] trust the Brothers, wt study this week

  by waton in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  for the lucid lurkers:  # 37. the article's examples really show, that among the 'name people' only 50 % of rank and file, and none of the leaders can be trusted all the time.

  but, shut up and put up.. eli and hannah, eli's sons committed gross sins, raping/ seducing woman visitors to the temple, for years, yet naive worshippers are to trust their brothers, even with their children ?

  inaction by wt approved?

  The part where they tell children to keep things confidential, so as not to ‘embarrass’ a family member is just plain creepy. Gives a free pass to pedo’s.

  Yes, many fake hours, and don’t forget the PIMO’s who cheat. At the end of my “preaching”, I couldn’t stomach more than 1 hour a month, and I used that hour dropping magazines in laundromats. I was so depressed, I did not want to convert anyone, why should they be miserable like me?

  I love Christmas! I couldn’t wait to celebrate when I left. I’m married to a Polish Catholic guy, and we have our traditions. Now that I’m retired, I have more time to bake. It was very important to me to make traditions for our family, since I didn’t grow up with any. We always let our daughter open 1 gift on Christmas Eve, it was usually pajamas. We set up a tree, have gifts, watch Christmas movies, and have a big feast on Christmas Day with family. While the kids are little, we remember to have a small cake and sing Happy Birthday to Jesus. Jesus is the Reason for the Season! Take that, Watchtower! I love Christmas!

  I like Punky’s list! But Seabreeze’s is spot on, too. A teacher wrote a note in my report card in first grade, recommending that I join the Girl Scouts. She said it would help me to socialize and be part of the other girls. My parents, of course, mocked her suggestion and ignored it. 😢

  Newtons prediction for end of the world

  by dothemath in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  maybe this man (sir isaac newton), has more credibility than fred franz in picking a date for armageddon ?.

  interestingly, newton(brilliant mathematician, everyone must know him) was very interested in the bible and revelation .. .

  what newton tried to do was determine a particular timescale for the apocalypse.

  Did Sir Isaac Newton consult with Jehovah, and the Governing Body? If he didn’t, that’s just apostate lies.
