the letter is quite extraordinary, in that it outlines procedures to follow at the airport, in the field service, in anticipation of trouble, but why spread that information openly into thousands of congregations? an adventure travel experience?

Great Tribulation and Trump
by TakeOffTheCrown inplease, let's discuss this subject without attacking one another.. it appears that trump has won a victory that no one expected.
is it possible that trump may play a part in the great tribulation?.
there are some who believe trump is one of the most unqualified of men to ever be elected president of the united states.

Fm: "--the wtower has "castled
as if that mattered. To bring on the GT, (Armageddon more precisely), they should be sticking their necks out instead (to rule with Christ you have to die by the axe, remember)?. so why not stay at Columbia Heights and open the windows, Manhattan side, toward the Trump Tower, and wait for the fireworks? if you take your heavenly calling seriously?
The bible is ancient, that is not preventing it from being found a fraud, irrelevant. Wt is recent, found to be wanting, why worry?

Cryonics
by HB inon the bbc news at present is a story about a 14 year old girl from the uk who has sadly died of cancer, but has chosen to be cryogenically preserved in the us in the hope that in the distant future, science will find a way to cure the cancer and resuscitate her frozen body.. see: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-38012267.
the chances of this technique ever becoming a practical reality are very remote at present and it would take major breakthroughs in technology.
however, the professor in charge of tissue banking at the university of bristol, says that although there is little chance of it happening based on current knowledge, he believes "you can never say never in science".

LUHE: "I think this 14 year old girl was very sharp and has made a good decision.
Yeah, with that kind of a resurrection, she would out-fox wt's scenario. she would come out with ovaries intact, reproducing-ready, unlike a wt resurrectee, sex-free.
That said, freezing her brain and ovi would probably be enough, because by the time that biotechnology is here, to undo freezing damage-etc- ,conceivably humans can be reconstructed from DNA, and the mind from the brain. or?

Fm, I mean it as a parody. I believe those that read post-watchtower, supra- jw meanings into the discredited bible accounts are bound to be disappointed again.
I see the trump vote and developing brext. afd, austrian votes as an uprising against the undermining of the merit derived, , language/race based, dominant culture. To make that understandable to ex jws, bible thumbers, I made reference to the 7st king of Rev, believed,- I think-, by them identified with the 'Anglo-American Empire', but in other's minds stretching further east.
the wt bible interpretations that you seem to still be fascinated with, well, how can you really take that seriously, after all the debacles starting from 1:1 ?

Trump's triumph, probably short lived, is about the great tribulation of a language group that stretches from Poland to San Fransisco, , Sidney and Wellington, aka seventh king, now, all that would be meaningful only if there really was a basis to the walking, talking snake in the tale.

So the governing body is NOT inspired...are they still "spirit directed"?
by NikL inokay there has been lots of buzz about the feb 2017 wt where they say the governing body is not inspired nor infallible.
yet, they are still using the baptism questions.
the second one being... "do you understand that your dedication and baptism identify you as one of jehovah’s witnesses in association with god’s spirit-directedorganization?".

There can be no doubt that the wt organisation has an esprit de corps, an elan, and that David Splane's remark "we like that idea" borders on delight of having discovered the overlapping bright new light, but unlike Einstein, who was walking elated at the thought about the stopping church clock as he surfed light, -- wt's spirit direction does not translate into truth.

Slaves and Sheeps

slaves in the South were allowed to marry, but that benevolent gesture served to keep them in line, for fear of one of them be sold off, so, wt uses the same technique, removal. But: wt hates goats, they are good climbers (climb every mountain), and I remember being painfully horn - butted by billy the bully. besides, the bible god also prefers sheep, well done - by Abel.

Why is religion in general so obsessed with what people choose to do with their willies and vaginas?
by jambon1 inwhat was it in the evolution of religion that got them so hung up about what people do with their genitalia?.
i mean, the (mis)use of genitalia is up there with murdering another human being in terms of badness.. and in the 21st century, we have a situation where in the jw religion, it's deemed as acceptable for three middle aged/old men to sit a teenage girl down and ask her the details of her use of her genitals.
to any normal person this is intrusive, completely inappropriate and bordering on deviancy.. why they so obsessed?.

religion is kind of an ornament, so is sex. The varied uses of Ws & Vs., seen as a heavenly gift, was a natural to make it a subject of religious control by all.
question:
when you were "in" was bedtime for you a two prayer event? thanks be fore play, and after?
