When the Nethinim arrangement was institituted some believed it was just a way to give credit to those brothers that actually did everything. I do appreciate how the distinction was made, just as reminder to THEM, that the helper was not EQUAL to one of the anointed/GB/FDS.

the year 1992 saw still another refinement, one that is comparable to what happened after the israelites and others returned from exile in babylon.

If you are going to go CULT...you have to go FULL CULT. Anything else would be unnatural.

Seinfeld was a show about "nothing." It had no plot. No twists. No real sequence. But, it was funny. Hilarious in fact.
Well, this Regional visit was just that. It had no plot. No twists. No real sequence. And, it was funny. Hilarious in fact.
Thank you Anthony Morris III and Samuel Herd for being so comical. For providing absolutely no substance to a meeting where over 1,000,000 people were hoping to be encouraged and enlightened. Instead you provided countless hours of entertainment on message boards and forums like this
NO SOUP FOR YOU!-
NO SPANXX FOR YOU!-

Inactive ones are bloodguilty?
by dissonance_resolved ini've been thinking about brother morris' statement at the zone meeting this past weekend that inactive ones are bloodguilty.
bloodguilt is defined as "guilty of murder or manslaughter.
" murder is #1 on the list of disfellowshipping offenses- all they would have to do is change the wording from "murder" to "bloodguilt" and suddenly there you have grounds to disfellowship anyone who's inactive.

I guess standing by a sign that says JW.ORG is EXACTLY what Jesus was hoping for.

There is no room for self-expression in a cult. None. This weekend's condemnation fest proved that. Looking forward to the November 2015 article, "Boxers or Briefs? The Biblical position on girding your loins" It should be quite enjoyable....

Over 1,000,000 in attendance and you are worried about tight pants?
by Separation of Powers inyou know, rarely in the history of the org has a group this large congregated to hear from "mother.
" they incessantly speak of the huge group that met at yankee stadium in 1958...the over 250,000 that congregated to be instructed by jehovah.
but over the weekend, there were over 1,000,000 people excited to hear some type of direction, some type of encouragement, something to help them hang on "just a little longer.".

You know, rarely in the history of the ORG has a group this large congregated to hear from "mother." They incessantly speak of the HUGE group that met at Yankee stadium in 1958...the over 250,000 that congregated to be instructed by JEHOVAH. But over the weekend, there were over 1,000,000 people excited to hear some type of direction, some type of encouragement, something to help them hang on "just a little longer."
Most of the meeting was the typical Zone overseer drivel, "good job bethelites" "get to your work assignment on time bethelites" "its good to be a bethelite" and all that. But, there was one talk designed exclusively for the "visitor" the non-bethelite. One chance to reach out to the R&F and "lift them up."
But, what did we get? Metrosexual bashing, Tight pant condemnation, Too Colorful Sock rejection, vampire movies, and my personal favorite....No Spanxx! Really?
Are you kidding me here?
First off....the whole metrosexual thing is so late 90's early 2000's. Men are more concerned about their appearance than ever before. They moisturize...is that Metro? These are comments from a man a little too preoccupied with those of his own gender.
The whole tight pant thing goes back to the late 50's early 60's....ever see Jimmy Fallon's comedic sketch of "tight pants?" Can anyone say Jersey Boys?
Socks? If there was one single thing in that talk that was blatantly wrong with no, absolutely no basis, it was a bashing of socks! That single comment really proved that this guy, a member of the GB no less, is absolutely so self-absorbed and clueless that it is mind-boggling! Does that mean I can't wear my kilt because my socks are my family's tartan color scheme? If a "spiritual man" is a man that scrutinizes every little thing, even to the point of condemning someone's socks....then the cultlike nature of this ORG is becoming more defined. I can't wait for the November 2015 article, "Boxers or Briefs? The Biblical view of girding up your loins"
As for the SPANXX comment.....absurd! Probably be some legal repercussions with that one!
If those are the things that consume the mind of the spiritual man....frivolous and innane, then this GB will destroy this ORG....they need no help from anyone to do that!
