ALL TOGETHER NOW, stand up straight you mounties
a1 a2 a 3.....
I sleep all night. I work all day.
Mounties : He's a lumberjack, and he's okay.
He sleeps all night and he works all day.
I cut down trees. I eat my lunch.
I go to the lavatory.
On Wednesdays I go shoppin'
And have buttered scones for tea.
He goes to the lavatory.
On Wednesdays he goes shopping
And has buttered scones for tea.
Chorus : I'm (He's) a lumberjack, and I'm (he's) okay.
I (He) sleep(s) all night and I (he) work(s) all day.
I cut down trees. I skip and jump.
I like to press wild flowers.
I put on women's clothing
And hang around in bars.
Mounties : He cuts down trees. He skips and jumps.
He likes to press wild flowers.
He puts on women's clothing
And hangs around in bars?!
Chorus : I'm (He's) a lumberjack, and I'm (he's) okay.
I (He) sleep(s) all night and I (he) work(s) all day.
I cut down trees. I wear high heels,
Suspendies, and a bra.
I wish I'd been a girlie,
Just like my dear Mama (or Papa in later versions)
Suspendies, and a bra?!
Chorus : I'm (He's) a lumberjack, and I'm (he's) okay.
I (He) sleep(s) all night and I (he) work(s) all day.
Yes, I'm (He's) a lumberjack, and I'm (he's) ok-a-y.
I (He) sleep(s) all night and I (he) work(s) all day.

If you find 'we'er JW' la la la going around and around, sing the lumberjack song and it will purge it out of your brain.

HYPOCRITICAL QUOTES FROM THE MAY 15TH WT....
by Mary inthis is just unreal.......i cannot believe they have the nerve to actually put this stuff into print, but here's the proof that there's no limit to their insanity-----or their hypocrisy:
page 26: "..a preoccupation with the future...prevents us from seeing the present as it is" noted one american philospher.......even jehovah's worshippers are not immune tot his pattern of thinking.
(gee, i can't imagine why) what if we become so preoccupied with future physical blessings that we are blind to our present-day spiritual blessings?........we could easily become discouraged and feel 'sick at heart because our expectations have been post-poned beyond what we imagined (or, what we were promised)........we could develop a complaining attitude.

What exactly are these spiritual blessings? I have tried to enumerate them to see if I could. I could not come up with a single 'Blessing'. In reality, they are psuedo-blessings that have no shape or form and they reside in our imagination. It is rather like the emporers new clothes, everyone talks about the bountious blessings but no-one can actually say what they are. Were you to ask they might say the books, the bible truths, the brotherhood, but these are not blessings because they are common place in any JW type organisation. To compensate for this lack of tangible blessings, anything 'good' that happens is called a blessing. Start a study and it becomes fine blessing. Get a number 1 talk 'Oh he's been blessed with a No 1 talk' The WT adds to this subterfuge and makes JW's look for blessings when none are there AND if the can't find one then their standing with God is brought into question. I read this in a WT a few months ago, words to the effect that if you cannot think of any blessing that has occured recently, then look to yourself and your relationship with God. Someone out there might remember it. The 'brotherhood' only exists at the kingdom hall. When you go home, the warm fuzzy feeling you might have got soon cools off and you realise that you are alone again. The elders & MS's are only elders & MS's at the hall. Elsewhere they are nothing. The whole thing is based on no-one stating the obvious on pain of expulsion for destroying the illusion. 1984 really sums it up.

Seems to me now, as the bible says that Christ left for us a model, to follow his footsteps closely. No where is it shown that Jesus followed an organisation. He left an example of how we should treat people and expounded love and turning the other cheek. As has been mentioned, Love your neighbour as yourself. The bible also says '..to the making of many books there is no end and much devotion to them is wearisom to the soul, the end of the matter, everything having been heard is fear the true God and keep his commandments for this is the whole obligation of man' ( It was always a puzzel as a small child why there were so may books at the KH which we had to study when I read that scripture) Well, Jesus told us - fear God, love your neighbour as yourself. What more do you need. No organisation can better that. The trouble with organisations and religions, for me, is this: they start out OK, but then someone always wants to start to tell you what to do and make you agree with his/her point of view and to make sure you do they invent this rule and that rule and then rules need rules and you end up with what was a loose association of like minded individuals turning into the WTBTS or some other such thing. Christ died for me. I will stand before God at the appointed time as an individual. There is no group judgement. You stand or fall by your own life actions. Do what Christ said and you won't go far wrong That is my 2 p's worth

I asked a witness what it was that was the defining moment when Christ bestowed all his belongings and said 'It's YOU!' How was it made manifest what happened. What was it that made them know that they had been chosen. He was stumped because he had never thought about it. None of them do.

The New and Hidden Class Consciousness of Jehovah's Witnesses
by truthseeker inclass consciousness is defined as identification with other members of ones own class and awareness of its relationship with other classes.
a remarkable change has happened in the last ten years among jehovah's witnesses, and this is largely due to the way we communicate.. .
the internet has brought about huge social changes in the way we think, do business and research, and how we spend our free time.. .

I have a particular distaste for the word 'Class' in this context, it smacks too much of 'Judge' Ratherafraud and his attacks on people who did not support is ramblings - Olyin Moyle and Walter Salter for example who were branded as of 'This class' not to mention countless other poors souls. Then there were the unending other classes - Jonadab 'Class' Elijah 'Class', the Class 'Class'. I agree with the sentiments of truthseeker and I think that there is another sort of Witness as well. This one is in it for the power - where else could a no-body become powerful and hold sway over peoples lives. I have seen the most obnoxious little hitlers strutting their stuff at the KH putting the fear of God into people. These cretins have no Christain qualities but get there kicks from being overly righteous over much and spouting garbage from the stage (for that is what it is to them). The WTBTS will continue as long as there are people to buy-in to the ideology and people prepared to suspend intelligent thought and sell it. As one poster alluded, they are in it for the end result and are not too concerned about the where's and why-for's. It becomes a comfy home with a modicum of stability - they 'know' why they are here, where they are going and why the world is in its present state. They are not bothered about 607 or 589, they don't have a thought about 1914,1920,1925...75 et-al. They go out, proffer the 'mags' parrot an answer at the meetings go to the assemblies and lead a relativley ordered life. paradoxically, I used to wish I did not know about the JW's and was just an ordinary person and didn't have to do those things - why me, I would think. Sometimes, I now wish I did not know the the truth about the JW's and was just an ordinary dub again, so cosy, so comfy in my little world. Damn it brain, why did you have to start thinking mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm thinking DOH!

Is e-watchman trying to ape JW.com
by uriah ini thought i would troll down to e-watchman and ended up at the greasy spoon 'paradise cafe' link then i was re-directed to e-jehovahs-witnesses.com.
now that he has at last got his self righteous come-uppance and been booted out of the brownies it looks like he is trying to be an alternative jw.com, but will fail just as his ramblings have failed him.

A splendid reply - couldn't have put a finer point on it myself. EWM got up my nose the first time I read his self righteous garbage. I should point out here that it is election night in the UK and I have had one or two beers and so if I start to rant and foam over the pompusss ass that EWM is, that might go some way to explaining it. Labour 3 up so far

When you left the JW's, did you keep all your books & magazines?
by Rod P ini had a collection of older publications almost second to none.
along with the 30-year publications index, i felt invincible in the research department.. then i got disfellowshipped and divorced, and my ex kept them all.
" i couldn't tell her "for research" because that would have sounded like i was going to write a book exposing jw's, which would have made things even worse.

I have kept all mine and add to them. I get my 'spiritual meal' from my old PO once a fortnight.
I noted that many say they have the CD and that is all they need. I have both and have to say that there is nothing quite like holding a book.
WT books have a smell all of their own and of course there are the illustrations.
Has anyone looked at the adverts in the back - especially of the 1920's books, quite entertaining.
It is interesting to read through and see just how much the JW troof has changed. It is only when you step back
and look that you can see it. -

So why do we need 'Bible Based Publications' then?
by uriah init may have been mentioned - sorry if it has.
the wt of 15th april 2005, page 5 para 1 says 'hence, the knowledge of jehovah and jesus christ as found in the bible is sufficient to show you how to gain everlasting life.
the bible is a unique book.

It may have been mentioned - sorry if it has. The WT of 15th April 2005, page 5 para 1 says 'Hence, the knowledge of Jehovah and Jesus Christ as found in the bible is sufficient to show you how to gain everlasting life. The bible is a unique book. The creator kindly inspired it in such a way that EVEN UNLETTERED MEN WITH LIMITED OPPORTUNITIES CAN TAKE IN ENOUGH KNOWLEGDE TO GAIN EVERLASTING LIFE.' (caps mine). That being the case how does this square with the WT policy that personal bible readers will be in darkness, become 'prideful' And where does this leave the FDS, God's 'channel' to dispense food at the right time? So why do they keep printing bible based publications (tm). Out of their own mouth they have condemned themselves.
