  5go's AGM summary and review

  by 5go in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i am writing this from memory i didn't ake notes so forgive me if it is out of order.. sumary.

  it started off with the annoucement of a bible display (mueseum) being built that focuses on jehovah's name in the bible.

  (i found it funny that few if any bible predate the 12th century because that's when the word jehovah was created bet that get's left out) the speaker went into the work done searching for various and the miracles donations and loans that happened to bring this about.

  The real reason for the push to get children baptized.......

  by EndofMysteries in

  i think the real reason is that many when they are in their teens and able to start thinking for themselves end up leaving by the time they get out of home, never baptized, and still continuing assocation with their family.

  the wt doesn't like this loophole, so they are hoping to get them baptised before their teen years so that if they wake up and decide to leave, they will be dfed.

  hoping to keep them trapped and be trapped before they understand the religion.

  Yet infant baptism is wrong. At least the churches which baptise babies don't shun them if they grow up and decide not be C of E or RCC...

  Newspeak anyone? Rigidly define words and rub out any ambiguous or secondary meanings. Narrow the range of conscious thought to leave you with less vocabulary to even conceptualise thoughtcrime.

  The whole cult is more nuts than a macadamia farm.

  "The excitement is PALPABLE"

  got caught at the supermarket (in between the martini olives and snack crackers ) with several bottles of hard liquor in my basket along with some red licorice by a sister that has known me for years.

  still respects me, not knowing that i am in full fade mode, or at least not recognizably knowing.

  anyway, when she sees me, her eyes get all big and she heads in my direction, nearly ramming my liquor laden cart with her vegan oriented basket.. "hey sop, how are you doing?

  The goodthinkful will eat it up.

  And I have a great use for jw books. I use them in my baby bird brooder to elevate the water bell so the water doesn't get bird poo in it. Instead, the chicks crap all over the books. It's lovely to see.

  Oh, snake is a pseudonym for a particularly toxic young bully of an elder. A real company man with the heart of a Pharisee.

  Donations aren't coming in from Western Countries: more confirmation

  in talking to sparky the elder today (http://www.jehovahs-witness.net/jw/friends/263862/1/an-elder-called-me-hes-waking-up-and-knew-id-understand-nice-for-him-to-have-a-friend) i found out he did the accounts for our congregation for years.

  he said very rarely did the congregation meet its expenses without some well-off brother chipping in a few grand here and there.

  the elders would also make up the shortfall.

  Hey thanks guys for the great information and lively discussion, and especially those who stuck up for me against pure worship's mean spirited and ignorant attack on me.
