very interesting read. If you were assigned far away, with no wealth behind you, and then locally assigned into oblivion, you had the true wt wt experience. The likes of E.B. White would shine nevertheless.

Are there any ex-missionaries here??
by fulano ini have been a missionary in the dominican republic for almost 10 years and i was wondering if there were any ex-missionaries on this forum.. i am back in my country now for 3 years and totally inactive.. what i noticed in those missionary-years was the lack of spiritual interest among the missionaries.. discussions were about rooms, cars and greater responsibilities, the bad territory.
and the local c.o.s and d.os.. was this only in the dr or are there other experiences??.
ere other experiences?

would just like to highlight a few paragraphs from it (blondie would probably do a more in-depth analysis as usual):.

There should have been an owl or something nearby to give Eve a warning.
like: "You won't die when you touch, even if you eat live to ~900+, but most of your daughters will never live to 100, if you eat. I repeat: " You will not die the day-- eat of that other tree instead it is not forbidden"

Divergent: "--Hey, at least Jesus fed the crowds properly on various occasions. The GB has fed us too --"
Jehovah, through his son even provided good wine in abundance to the right occasion, in contrast, the G.O.D. GB only provides wine for a very few partakers, on occasion, for the springtime communion drink.

"Obey" or "Be persuaded" at Hebrews 13.17
by Wonderment invarious posters have apparently concluded that the wt society is wrong by quoting hebrews 13.17 as a reason for christians to submit to, and be "obedient" to those taking the lead among them.
they have pointed out that the greek word for obedience is "hypakouo" or some other, not "pei'tho" which is the one that appears in the beginning of verse 17 at hebrews ch.
their motive for their objections may be one of rancor brought about by the extreme authoritative measures the society have imposed on the brotherhood.

For the studious, there can always be the cross reference of the saying of Jesus " Whoever wants to be first (leader) among you, let him be your slave" Obedience to one's slave blunts any dictators demand. -

Revelation - it's grand climax is at hand
by Listener insome people point out the subliminal pictures in the wtbts publications but sometimes things are just so obvious, such as the title of the book above.. the person who came up with the title for this book must have had a good old laugh.. interestingly, this book first came out in 1988 and has not been included in the online library but nothing has replaced it.
the org is really going backwards when they ditch old light and cannot come up with anything new.
they are real wankers ;)..

the new book " God's Kingdom Rules" (1914) is the same thing, all things wrapped around the organisation, this time without the trumpet assemblies, the resolutions, just the same navel-gazing introspective. and covers the same period, "the Lord's day". -

How can a "body" lead? if it has no head? a 7 headed Hydra?, The Knorr/Franz combination was a good one,
Knorr leading in procedure and Franz in "spirituality" aka nutty doctrines.
I would be interesting to see a true man, like Trueman from MO raise to the occasion, just for fun, but whoever really rules seems to find the G.O.D of 7 +- effective.

My Explanation of God.
by LAWHFol ini am a theist & this is my version of god.. instead of using the term god, i'll use "unseen presence".. this unseen presence, is perfect in every way.
this presence is so perfect it can seem a bit boring.this perfection can be seen in the laws of science, for example gravity.. it does not sometimes work, depending on the mood of some one in the sky, it always works, perfectly.
gravity does not get angry and decide to stop working, and cause the death of innumerable living beings, it just works, through thick or thin, it is reliable.. what allows this unseen presence to remain perfect, is the fact that it does not act based on emotion, or strategy or regret.. it acts based on law, mathematical law.. this unseen presence is not partial to jews or muslims or jw's it is completely impartial at all times, to everything that exists.

imho: all we can know about the unseen is the record left behind, the works, but everyone's vision is unique, like a rainbow, that not really exists, but is a refracting back of sunlight, and everyone's rainbow is different. There are billions of different visions about the works, the universe, and most of it we can not see, it is beyond the horizon, outside our personal time cone. So be content with the travel through time you have, fully. If a creator wanted more for - or from you, he would tell you.
