just want to share my take on the new circuit overseers visit.
first impression, he's a control freak.
he got up several times to correct the servants on lights, sound and speaker stand positioning.
First impression, he's a control freak. He got up several times to correct the servants on lights, sound and speaker stand positioning. Give me a break.
My first response was, "Give Me A Break". Otherwise seems like nothing has changed. Same old guilt trip I heard 40 years ago.
just have to rant here for a bit.. i was on the phone earlier with my dub sister.
she was telling me how her daughter, my niece, just met a "nice man" (i take it he is a good dub), that things were going good and that if things go as plan they would probably be married this coming summer.
now this is after my niece just got out of a dysfunctional marriage of 20 years and their divorce was just finalized this last november.
this information makes the biblical dating of human origins a sad joke.
quote: " when they dated the remains, the researchers got another surprise: the mammoth died 45,000 years ago.
that means that humans lived in the arctic more than 10,000 years earlier than scientists believed, according to a new study.
this is what europe is becoming?
my work colleague in germany sent my this article in an email and it is perhaps one of the most disturbing things i have heard yet.
i have been hearing about many of these recent homophobic and transphobic hate crimes taking place across europe but this one slipped through the cracks.
just watched a video of a helicopter landing on the universal church's sao paolo's temple of solomon.
they loaded up several suitcases full of money, so heavy it was hard for a single guy to pick up.
they preach a form of prosperity worship.. one interesting point i found in wikipedia about the uckg (universal church of the kingrom of god) while learning about them is that they hate the jw's nwt bible and preach against it, calling the new king james bible "the best we've found", even better than the authorized version (the old king james bible).
whenever the new yearbooks come out, we all look at the figures and see the publisher increase never really matches up with the baptism figures.
it never should match up as all newly baptized ones are already publishers, and may have been for many years.
i, as an example, became an unbaptized publisher at age 11. i didn't get baptized until i was 17. .
my son was saying he seen this episode the other night.
i checked my local cable and it is not on for the coming week but i will make sure to pvr it when it comes on.
this is the second one deadly devotion has done about the jw's.
while attending a week long training class for elders in patterson, bro losch gave the concluding talk about loyalty to the borg, which i was in awe of(i went more in detail in a recent post about a s.a.d.
where losch was the speaker).
at the end of his talk, here's what he said: .
This is nothing new I recall some elders being against any type of professional sporting activity but it was just a few of the old elders that probably never played a sport in their lives.

My son was saying he seen this episode the other night. Did anyone else see it? I checked my local cable and it is not on for the coming week but I will make sure to PVR it when it comes on. This is the second one Deadly Devotion has done about the JW's. The synopsis of the show according to IMDp:
so we had brother losch visiting our special assembly day which was weird in itself.
he's not a very good speaker and seemed like he was in dire need of a nap or something.. anyways just a few observations from the assembly program.
theme: imitate their faith.
Next was the accounts. As was mentioned again on this board, $8000 were sent to the society prior to the convention leaving only $500 in the account. But expenses for this one day were almost $24,000 so the deficit at lunch ($7500) would not have been there if they didn't send all the money to the society.
Typical it makes me sick. Then they end up begging for more money to balance their books. I wonder sometimes if their figures are fudged a bit just to get the contributions up?
