"NEW LIGHT" FOR 2014? WHAT'S YOUR PREDICTION FOR 2014'S NEW AND IMPROVED LIGHT?

hi, i am reading a book on mind control and one of the areas the author stresses group control is their constant revision of "new insight from god" or "we have a new message from god".

in keeping with the spirit of new light, 2014 is going to need a moral boost because one hundred years of lies needs a spin doctor of bethel size.

the poster with the close new light for 2014 will be showered with glory and much pomp.

I think this "letter" explains quite well what I think could be new light.

(Disclaimer: This is not a REAL letter from the GB)

Thank you!

It's nice to know that there is at least one person who is willing to help.

I am working on uploading a "letter" outlining new light for 2014.

Should be humorous...I hope!

*** g 6/08 p. 11 When Is Self-Defense Justified? ***

The Bible thus indicates that a person may defend himself or his family if physically assaulted. He may ward off blows, restrain the attacker, or even strike a blow to stun or incapacitate him. The intention would be to neutralize the aggression or stop the attack.This being the case, if the aggressor was seriously harmed or killed in such a situation, his death would be accidental and not deliberate.

I have CWP, and at one time in the past for well over one year I carried at all times. There had been credible threats against me made. I will NOT be a helpless victim! I carried at the meetings, at work, and even had it close at hand when showering. I don't think throwing a Bible at the threat would neutralize it very effectively. And I don't think explaining that my religion says I can't meet force with equal force would have done a helluva lot either. Just saying that by using my God given thinking abilities I knew I was responsible for my own welfare, no one else.

Many of you are experiencing the effects of these critical times in your personal and family life. It has become a struggle to obtain life’s basic needs. Despite these circumstances you must put the needs of others ahead of your own. Support the printing, translation, and distribution of publications by your monetary contributions. Then you will see the miracle of your bills being paid supernaturally. Your vehicles gas tank will never run out of fuel as it magically refills itself. Your refrigerator will never empty of food nor will your pantry be bare. Your government taxes will pay themselves.

See we don't really need to take care of ourselves, do we? I guess I'll just panhandle a few bucks from the local KH each month and quit my job.

Spending time with them; an elder used to say to me after a short greeting, “we have to have you and your husband over,” six years of that.

I had this for the last nineteen years from one of them in my town about me. I finally told him he should just quit talking about it as I was fed up with all talk and no action!

Do jws remind other jws of their past sins....months later, ten years later, 20 years later.

Just a few comments from "elders" in my town. "You are reprehensible. You married a non-jw in the past." " No matter how spiritual they are (you) some men will NEVER be used for anything other than going in FS and scrubbing the KH toilets!" Your past sin (marrying a non-jw) might stumble someone, and we don't know if you will EVER be forgiven. It might be ten, twenty, thirty or more years, if ever."

When an elder reminded her of her past faithful service, her emotions were stirred. She allowed the elders an opportunity to reassure her of Jehovah’s love. In turn, her love was rekindled.

So when "elders" instead remind you of ONE past sin over and over again instead of acknowledging the other many years of faithful serve us what would logically happen to ones love, not only of God but of others in the congregation?

Will jws today do the same?

I heard one older brother say he hoped that when it came tough times and food was scarce that he hoped he would be the one to dole it out because there were way to many others who would hog the food for themselves and their families and then all would go hungry. He said he would sparingly dole a little out to each one and all could get something. Of course he was reviled and finally forced off the body by the young bucks.

Weak, discouraged, depressed = any jw that says they have never been in one or all of these categories is lying.

My father would give some of them the benefit of the doubt and say they were either foolishly naive, or lying.

Just a few of my own observations.

My congregation has quite a few people on Gov't assistance

Mine too. However they are all the ones who have the latest gadgets for some reason. I can't seem to ever find the extra finances to buy those new shiny toys with my full-time work.
