WTS action on Conti's case 3/27/2013

by mind blown in

as most suspected, the wts filed their brief, at least it looks that way..... http://appellatecases.courtinfo.ca.gov/search/case/dockets.cfm?dist=1&doc_id=2025979&doc_no=a136641.

it also notes aob in excess of word count limit.. wonder if they did that to buy more time?.

Chaserious is correct. There is no duty to proctect unlimited. This case is as bad as people suing dating websites because a person on there attacks someone and they claim that the site did not do background checks or warn. People have the duty to protect themselves just as if they met the person in any other situation and not to rely on others to do so.

The speakers who always say to keep your comments to 30 seconds or less. But that annoys so much because If I am going to comment, it is not going to be in under 30 seconds. So I just don't comment.

Governing Body Put Down Education Because The Sad Facts Show Higher Education Leads Lower Bull Tollerance

by frankiespeakin in

as lamented by members of the governing body higher education is causeing many to leave the organization and so it is demonized by them.. subjects the governing body would hate to see young one study are numerous.

they would like to keep things very simple it is easier to control people.

they would prefere to go backward in technology to the time the first printing presses back in the 16th century, that is the level they work best at.. .

The reason that education is put down and discouraged is the same as in the slave days. The slaves were not educated because if they could do other things they would leave the plantations. Because they were not educated, they had no where to go and had to stay.

Same here. The Witnesses as slaves, being uneducated have no where to go so they have to stay under the slave owner, the FDS.

Is Jehovah the Rock of Love?

by Rattigan350 in

and i am not referring to the brett michaels show.. something that has always bothered me was this exchange from job 1 and no one has explained it properly.. job 1:9 "satan answered jehovah and said: is it for nothing that job has feared god?10have not you yourself put up a hedge about him and about his house and about everything that he has all around?

the work of his hands you have blessed, and his livestock itself has spread abroad in the earth.11".

jehovah's response to that statement should have been "i put a hedge about him and blessed him because i am the god of love.

And I am not referring to the Brett Michaels show.

Something that has always bothered me was this exchange from Job 1 and no one has explained it properly.

Job 1:9 "Satan answered Jehovah and said: “Is it for nothing that Job has feared God? 10 Have not you yourself put up a hedge about him and about his house and about everything that he has all around? The work of his hands you have blessed, and his livestock itself has spread abroad in the earth. 11"

Jehovah's response to that statement should have been "I put a hedge about him and blessed him because I am the God of love. I do that out of love. Infact I will inspire my future servant John to write that I am love."

Then when Satan said:

"But, for a change, thrust out your hand, please, and touch everything he has [and see] whether he will not curse you to your very face.”

Jehovah's response should have been "For a change nothing. I am the God of Love and do not change. And I am the Rock. Get lost pipsqueek".

When I think of the term Rock. What comes to mind is something strong, solid, not changing or moving and Dwayne Johnson, the Wrestler. If someone came to Dewayne and challeged him, he would just flick him off and say get lost and not worry about some sovereignty issue that it creates.

But instead Jehovah said "“Look! Everything that he has is in your hand. Only against him himself do not thrust out your hand!” So Satan went out away from the person of Jehovah."

Really?

JW Urban legends

by William Penwell in

i was reading this on the urban legends web site.

i recall a post and some discussion earlier on this site about the john denver rumor.

the rumor of him at one of his concerts asking all jw's to leave.

Rattigan350

And other religions have their urban legends such as KISS stands for Knights in Satan's Service

and the devil put backwards messages in Stairway to Heaven. (There are backwards words in there but that is coincidence, not from Satan)

With rock groups, there is no such thing as bad press.

the stupid sister in China who receives a 50 year prison sentence with hard labour for refusing to stop door knocking! the list goes on.

If you are referring to Nancy Yuen, that is fact not legend.

May 2013 Awake suggests screaming to thwart sexual assault

by ParadiseCircus in

they just can't let it go.... .

they also provide this tip to avoid being raped: "react quickly.

scream.

Rattigan350

The responses to this topic thus far are totally ignorant.

What other options does one have at that time when one does not have a weapon?

Has anyone suggested any? I don't see any. What Splash has listed on the first page is what the issue is - whether one screams or not makes one guilty of fornication when one claims rape. What one does at the time, scream or not, is a situational action.

Queenwitch said "What happened to alerting the authorities??? "

In the taxi would this Karin have that occasion to do that? Later yes, but not at that time.

But then the best way to thwart assault is, since assaults are done when someone is not cooperating and they want to force someone to cooperate, to voluntarily cooperate.

Do you think that generally there is a fall in interest in the 'memorial'(TM) of late?

by punkofnice in

i remember the days when the mock the christ ritual memorial would have the kingdum hell brimming.. i haven't been for at least 2 years.....and i'll never go again unless i'm offered a substantial amount of money to do so.. the last mock the christ memorial i went to the side rooms were used but the hall still had spare seats.. i know the overall speed of the 'growth(tm)' seems to be slackenning off so i guess the pass the cutlery ritual will be in decline by way of attendance too.. i think some of the peak in attendance was where kingdum hells were merged.. what say you?.

What's the point? Everyone is still enslaved to sin. What did Jesus' death accomplish?
