  would you peek in your wife's field-circus records and get the address of her bible study for the purpose of sabotage?!?!

  i am thinking about it.

  here is my dilema:.

  Question: Where's The Doctrinal "Component" Behind Recent Changes?

  by metatron in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i just wanted to toss this out there: is there any noticeable doctrinal backdrop or expressed scriptural component behind recent changes?.

  now, there are many opinions about recent changes - ranging from complete and utter cynicism motivating the governing body to naive belief in their own bullsh*t. also, are they just reacting to sudden developments or is there any coherent long term plan?.

  i would think that if they truly expect to 'trim down' the organization by laying off publishers (in addition to bethelites, do's, branch members) then the watchtower magazine and various assembly talks should reflect that.

  You Can't Argue With a Sick Mind

  still, it's an exercise in futility.. we want to (metaphorically speaking) shake the shit out of our loved ones tha are still intoxicated with and under the spell of the nonsensical theology of the wtbts.

  but it just doesn't work.

  so, to ease your frustration and maybe give you something positive to enjoy, i thought i'd share with y'all joe walsh's last live concert before he joined the eagles full time:.

  Vicars to be vetted ..New laws on working with children...

  by smiddy in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  this article appeared on friday may 9, 2014 in the herald sun newspaper in victoria australia.. matt johnston is a state politics reporter.. quote :" all religous ministers will need working with children checks and a new system will be created for organisations to report alleged child abuse,under a $ 10 million state government reform.".

  premier denis napthine revealed the new measures,a further response to the state parliments`s child abuse inquiry report,betrayal of trust .. "many ordinary parish based ministers may not have required a wwc check.under this rule , every minister for religion who has any contact with children will require such a check ," he said.. opposition community services spokeswoman jenny mikakos called for the government to move quicker to "address the issues identified".

  my concern is, will the watchtower org./jehovahs witnesses /jw.org.

  2. friends

  just dont know when i'm gonna be able to do that.. right now, i am working full time, i go to school part time, etc.

  i want to start traveling more, doing more activist work, visiting more apostate friends, and helping to get people out of this 'so called religion.'.

  in other words, i want to start going to un-preach where the need is great.

  Locate investigative journalists in major cities near you and feed them the sex abuse data along with the shunning information.

  It would be awesome if someone picked up the stories in NYC near the "hq". Scientologists are still being documented by the major newspaper in St Pete/Tampa FL due to the Scientology HQ in Clearwater...there are Pulitzers involved for the journalists.

  The Cat out of the Bag: the story of the release of the NEW WORLD TRANSLATION

  by Terry in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  when jehovah's witnesses began distributing door to door the new world translation beginning in the early 1950's a firestorm of protest broke out in mainstream churches.

  the alarm cry was "they've changed the bible to fit their own crooked teachings!".

  you can imagine the discord as church members tried to figure out how jehovah's witnesses could prove by reading from the nwt the king james version was full of omissions and errors and outright fraud concerning, for instance, the trinity doctrine or the name of god!!.
