we had co visit recently & it appears that the co told the elders of the congregation that the scriptures indicated on the wt to be "read" on the watchtower study are only to be read by 1 brother in the entire study.... the elder conducting the watchtower announced that at the wt mtg... i was like what???
only men?....
has anyone else had this occur in their congregation?
the publications are an excellent tool to show the irrational makeup of the WTBtS beliefs. often I am ready with ample marginal notes a la' blondies non-comments, but sometimes a soundbite, if clearly read, brings up another "this is impossible" gem.

i know we are all anonymous for our own personal reasons, so i understand if you would rather not say.

eye witness: the flight of the Zeppelins, the B17 formations and their crew bailouts, Canadian & Russian troops at the Baltic shores 1945, the Berlin airlift, the Shuttle launches, Brezhnev in Washington,
participant in the June 17 1953 uprising against the Commies, brick in hand, ready to throw at tanks.
thought she was gonna take a pic of me on the sneak.
im df'd...been df'd for over 19 years already.
so she probably would have gotten away with it without anyone knowing.....except that her flash was on.
a year to a year and a half ago, i would have taken this article at face value and believed it.. now, i realize this article comes from a dubious source.
world news daily has a die-hard right-wing bias.
so, in an effort to get real information, i'm asking my european exjw's, is this article all true?
Ps -sorry for the slight diversion from the topic at hand. As you were-- not-- imho. My main point was about refugees being prayed on by locals, Pedophiles and Child murderers. crime increases in these overwhelmed areas happens sharply. not because of newcomers only.
having it recorded stopped that sicko. guns would not have. give us cameras, not guns.
did anybody else read this article and just think wth?.
sometimes god approves of war.. sometimes god doesn't approve of war.. when the israelites fought battles and won it was because god blessed them.. when they lost it was because god had not blessed them.. sometimes god fights for oppressed ones.. sometimes they must wait and have faith.. it is so clear that the bible contradicts itself on this issue and that the nation of israel had a totally different view of god than the early christians.
it is also clear that the nation of israel was highly superstitious and would attribute every battle's outcome to the whims of a higher power.
who is going to tell them? Jws will, and forever. turning in monthly reports of time spent.
perhaps David can practise his prowess with the sword on the sinners that "will die a hundred years old, yet fresh like a boy", and these resurrected and then impotent resurrected males will try hormone treatment to rise to the occasion again? but they will learn war no more, just keeping old skills.

-- increase the surveillance that is encroaching on our lives.Only criminals have to fear surveillance. The abduction of a refugee child was caught on camera, and the boy disappeared. The mother of the abductor turned him in. Two child abuses and murders were solved that way, and more prevented. Crime around some Refugee centers is up 300% and it is not all and always the newcomers. bring on the cameras.
