This is way too funny! You are all hilarious. I love you guys!

Ok, so thanks to my daughter and all her cookie talk. I was at Walmart this morning...

No Girl Scouts around so I had to go inside and buy Keebler's & Walmart brand instead. Saw these and had to buy them!

OMG! It's bad enough that the Keebler Elves use MAGIC to make them and tempt you with yummy Dark chocolate fudge stripes, but now the little DEMONS are asking us to donate blood. LMAO

butJWS: You're right, the GV brand is just as good as the Keebler Grasshoppers.

Why doesn't the WT ever see it's self as "Wicked"?

by Deputy Dog in

in luke 11:13 jesus refers to his beloved deciples as wicked.

the wt (and most jws) see themselves as faithful and discreet.

they are teaching people to be self-righteous arent they?.

Newly Enlightened

Because it's just like Jesus said, they try to remove the straw in everyone else's eyes, but do not see the 'rafter' in their own!

I was telling my Cousin & her Elder husband about the 'Save Sparlock' website and they actually asked me

"Who is Sparlock?"

Are you kidding me?

Did you see the new kid DVD from the past Summer DC?

"Own it, saw it, still don't remember Sparlock."

All I can say is WOW! JWDubs are really aware of what is going on around them, aren't they?

May Watchtower makes the same mistake Moses did

by leaving_quietly in

probably not the first time this has happened, but the w13 5/15 at least twice made the same mistake that got moses killed by god.. p.8 par.

2: "with heartfelt zeal, we invite "anyone that wishes [to] take life's water free.

" (rev 22:17).

Nice catch Leaving_quietly. Just when you think the GB cannot POSSIBLY get more arrogant and ludacris, they surprise us!!!

Thanks for posting that!

Discussion with family member who is an Elder in our congregation

by Newly Enlightened in

so about a week ago, i showed my cousin & her husband [an elder in our congregation] the picture on pg 29 of our 4/15/2013 study wt and asked, "if jesus is head of the congregation then where is he?".

after several minutes of searching, dead silence.. i then asked if they had heard the part on the 2012 summer district conv the part about "our spiritual mother, where the c.o said that "the bible by itself does not shine thru as life-giving truths just by itself.

" they were shocked and said that i must have misheard it because that would be apostasy.

Newly Enlightened

Exactly Truthlover:

They just don't see that the GB is elevating themselves above Christ. ALL authority was given him ,are they just trying to get some of that power for themselves?

But JWdubs or Elders don't want to hear that it's wrong and goes against the bible. They just want to believe it and no one is suppose to dare to question it.
