Who will run the "earthly organization" after GB is raptured?
by bruh2012 ini guess the gb feels after they are raptured that their work is done since the new scrolls will be open by yhwh.. oh wait my bad - it will be by the local elders since they said a few wt studies ago that in so many words you better listen to the elders whether it makes sense or not.. if power and the use of the internet after armaggdon will pretty much be dead since those who operate it will be gone-.

Shared some TTATT with my wife and now she wants us to have a weekly personal bible study
by suavojr inhere is the situation.... a young 19 year old in our congo had a fallout with his parents because of all the restrictions and jw dogma and moved out of the house last wednesday.. to make the story short, the parents went running to the elders and what was the comfort?.
coe said: i saw that coming!
your son never reached out to get baptized.. then the other elder said: don't worry, you still have one left that will be saved.

Here is the situation...
A young 19 year old in our congo had a fallout with his parents because of all the restrictions and JW dogma and moved out of the house last Wednesday.
To make the story short, the parents went running to the elders and what was the comfort?
COE said: I saw that coming! Your son never reached out to get baptized.
Then the other elder said: Don't worry, you still have one left that will be saved. Your 8 year old is on good track.
They ended the conversation talking about what big J wants from us, how they need to be better parents, how they need to teach that kid a lesson. Etc...
So there you have it folks, the best advise and help these parents needed to help their son come back home.
On Friday night they (the parents and good friends) called us to stop by the house and have dinner with the family. Around 9:30pm the secretary elder showed up unannounced (and was not part of the two elders who spoke with the parents) took the dad outside and started hammering him. My wife and I had to leave at 10pm and guess what? This elder who thinks he is a star in the hands of Jesus proceeded to talk down to the parents.
I am not going to disclose everything because is all the same, parents have an issue with their kids and they get a beating and elders look for a way to punish the naive young ones.
Well yesterday after our boring morning meeting, I took my wife to eat out and went to the mall. I saw this as an opportunity to talk about the problems within the borg and the lack of love. I had a long conversation with my wife on how these elders act like the pharisees.
I don't have time to type our entire afternoon conversation... but out of the blue she asked me before going to sleep, honey why don't we study the bible together, just the bible? This should be fun.
What sections of the bible should we start reading? Any advise?

Jesus Protect Me From Your Followers
by suavojr ini am getting tired of all the so called jesus followers that simply want me dead .

Soon... In use since 1879!!
by ILoveTTATT ini wondered how fast the wt publications used the word "soon"... as in expectation of some prophecy or fulfillment.... eight pages into the first watchtower... july 1879.... "our design has been to present to the body of christ, "the chaste virgin" church, which expects soon to go in to the marriage and become christ's bride, a selection of sacred songs especially adapted to her condition and expressive of her desires and hopes.".
the expectation?
1881. http://www.jwfacts.com/watchtower/1800s.php.

Circuit Overseer wakes up, packs his bags and leaves!
by Anony Mous ini just heard this about a co i knew back in the day before he was even a co. he must be in his mid-late 40's now, my mother told me the story as she knows the family very well (the entire family has gone 'apostate' including several elders, circuit overseers and missionaries - this was an "example" family, always on the stage etc).. he wasn't 'feeling well' so he took time off from his co duties.
that week he packed his suitcase, told his wife he can't do it anymore and he's leaving, leaves her the car and the house and went to live in a small apartment, bought a small car and a week later got a decent job.. this was very recent so not everybody within the org has heard yet what happened..

A medieval question for you, if you believe in god....
by snare&racket inmany ancient believers of god used cognition to 'think' their way from belief to atheism.
what initially seems a silly question to reason over, can actually destroy a whole theology.. here is a question made famous by 'saint' thomas aquinas, believers in a almighty god with unlimited ability, please have a think about this..... the omnipotence paradox:.
"could an omnipotent being create a stone so heavy that even he could not lift it?

Jesus looked at them and said, "With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible." According to Jesus, nothing is impossible for God.
How can this question prove that I am wrong if I beleive my God can do anything?

Humans used to enjoy these stories by writing them and spreading among the population. Now we do the same, but on a screen and we know is fantasy. I can still enjoy a nice fantasy film :)
