- 23 day to go .. annual meeting unofficial rumors.
- new bible.
- new nwt (revision).
I was telling a friend of mine (he is not a JW, never has been) about all the rumors. He came up with this list of possible announcements:
1. There are a few more seats opening up in Heaven so stay with us.
2. We know we keep missing the end of the world dates, but those were just math errors (carrying the 1 etc)
3. Maybe we should wear funny costumes and tell jokes when we do door to door.
4. Do we really believe Prince and the Jacksons follow the same rules are we do?
5. We should change our name because young kids associate ‘witness’ with ‘sniches’ and sniches are biches.
For a non-JW I thought he did a good job!

remember the guys that started the shit storm with the deaf sign language video?
the multiple funny versions at youtube?.
this time they are mocking the tract (the guy that started this isn't even a ex-jw, but they are pretty good at taking down cults!).
Found this one on Reddit:

this sends a clear message to other universities who may be harboring child molesters.. excerpt:.
the sanctions by the governing body of college sports, which capped eight months of turmoil on the central pennsylvania campus, stopped short of delivering the "death penalty" of shutting down the sport.
but the ncaa hit penn state with $60 million in fines, ordered it out of the postseason for four years, and will cap scholarships at 20 below the normal limit for four years.. other sanctions five years' probation, and the ncaa also said that any current or incoming football players are free to immediately transfer and compete at another school.. ncaa president mark emmert announced the staggering sanctions at a news conference in indianapolis.
Those who covered up this crime -- ie, the higher-ups, should have been punished to the full extent of the law.
They most likely will be. This article is only about sanctions from the NCAA, I think the criminal investigation is still ongoing. There will be more fallout from this...

last week a young elder giving the public talk made.
the statement that "some were led to believe that the.
end would come in 1975, but aren't we so thankfull.
Some were led to believe....
Who were these some? And who or what led them to believe that? Did they just come up with idea on their own? Were they counselled or reproved for believing this?

the illegal dump site in upstate ny has received quite a lot of attention lately (as well it should)... .
however, having been involved in several kh remodels, i think the wts little regard for the environment extends way beyond this dumpsite.
as some of you probably know, the workday at a kh remodel usually starts with a prayer, breakfast and a 5 minute safety talk... the safety talk was a joke (e.g.
And yet these folks think they are going to turn the Earth into a Paradise!!!

through the new covenant, jehovah makes blessings.
available to many by means of a few.
the covenant are few, a mere 144,000. through.
I don't see anything new or out of the ordinary here. This is standard JW doctrine from the last 60 years or so. It may not always be laid out as clearly. For instance, most JWs do not realize that as part of the "great crowd", Jesus is not their mediator. Yet according to the Watchtower, he is not, and they have stated as much consistently over the years.

seems like the original star trek was almost universally enjoyed.
from the kooky music theme 'space.....ahhhhh ahhhh ahhh ahhhhhhhh ahhh', the upbeat message, the deep subject matter...the chemistry of the characters.
you remember being much younger almost felt like not a care in the world?
Sab, you also are entitled to your opinions, even when they are wrong.
Hahaa comparing Lost to Steinbeck!!!! Seriously???? Steinbeck is one of the greatest writers of the 20th century. Lost is a giant exercise in pretentious navel-gazing, already forgotten by most. Yes it was entertaining for a while, perhaps brilliant at times Ben's whole performance as "Henry Gale" was incredible. But that doesn't excuse the lax writing and the total copout of an ending that they foisted on the audience. After years of insisting they had an ending in mind, that they knew where they were going with the story, and that all would be explained, they just basically threw up their hands and said, eh, this is all we got.
Look, I understand, its a tv series, things happen, actors quit, ideas get tossed around, revised, that's fine. I did not expect every little oddity and riddle to be wrapped up with a clever explanation. I was even willing to accept some glaring errors that simply slipped through and that in hindsight made no sense at all. Even when one of their central characters was a kid, and somehow they didn't take into account the fact that kids grow! But I expected at least some kind of ending that fit with what had gone on the first five seasons of the show. Instead they created a whole new puzzle for the sixth season and then congratulated themselves that they were able to resolve this new riddle in a way that kind of made sense.

JJ Abrams is a completely overrated hack. Lost dragged people along for 6 seasons with the promise of an ending that would resolve all the plot contortion, only to wind up saying, no we have no answers, what made you think there would be answers? His version of Star Trek was dreadfully bad, like a six year old who heard of Star Trek and tried describing it to his friend, who then tried to make a movie out of it. Yes the characters had the right names, yes they were on a spaceship called the Enterprise, their uniforms kinda looked like the original series, that's about it. The rest of it had no connection at all to what made Star Trek great. Now it's going to be four years before the next one is released. Four years! And so far the best idea they can come up with is Khan?? That's original!
