"No one like Ray, but I can see one or two of them going looney, real nuts, swinging from poles, and needing sedation. It's a short matter of time before the shop will need to fold up, and the pressure will come down on the mad ones. Any day, one or two will become beserk and believe they are God. That is when the ether bottle comes in, and replaces the brandy. These are just men, faced with a crumbling tower. It's their fault! They have blood guilt on hands and face! Yes, real mad, real soon. Teddy, Teddy, you're guilty already! " Lawrence, I feel the same way. Worf

Struggling with the concept of a "God"
by littleblueuk inthis topic, i'm sure, has been discussed many times, but today i am really contemplating the concept of god.. i remember vividly the old testament; the israelites slaughtering everyone in their path, men, women and children at god's direction at jericho, leaving no one alive.
i remember thinking then as a child how cruel that was.
there are many other examples.. then reading the news today i read a section in the world news about india.

"He's often referred to as "our loving father." Would any "loving" parent behave this way? If so, they would be prosecuted for child abuse."
littleblueuk,
I totally agree with you. I personally have gotten past the need or belief in the "God" concept, and the example you posted is one of the reasons why.
Reality always asserts itself.
I use that same example on current jws when I engage them in conversation while they are doing "streetwork" here in NYC. They can never respond to that argument. Its as if it is just not included in their "programming", and it just does not compute.

If Jw hate being a part of the world so much, why do they try...
by jetery inwhen i was a witness i remember asking one of the elders if it would be alright to donate to different causes/charities like the american cancer society,st judes hospital etc.
he told me that these organizations only provide temporary relief whereas god kingdom would provide permanent relief.
) he was so down on these organizations but yet when he needed them for help he sure didnt hesitate to ask them.

jetery,
Excellent points!
And when you take everything you pointed out and consider those things about the wt from a wide scope accounting basis it shows that the entire belief system of the wt is full of hypocritical holes.

Big News or rumor!
by Burger Time ina friend just informed me that the c/o in his hall will be instructing the elders that anyone with a child in college will be stripped of privileges in the hall.
i am not sure if this is true this is just what i was told.
it could be that it is only a campaign directed at him as he has some ties to ex-jw's and some how got found out.

Burger Time,
Interesting. I have a brother-in-law who is a ministerial servant in Monroe North Carolina.
I guess he better not even think of going to college , to better himself.

Besides other sources on this board who had already heard of this, this information has been confirmed by a current ministerial servant who was on the conference call on Saturday evening: Any elder or ministerial servant who is going to college will no longer qualify. And if their children are going to college, they will no longer qualify, and if they speak of college in a positive way, they will no longer qualify.
Amazing! WTS continues to prove to be the cult it really is.

Your kids are doomed.
by sammielee24 ini listened in to the conf call tonight.
one thing that i got from it was that apparently (and the wording might be a little wrong) is that elders or ms will be removed if they are going to college or university.
a person encouraging another to go to college will be removed as well.
-
worf
I was also on the call tonight and the current ministerial servant who called in confirmed that elders and ministerial servants will be removed if they or
their children go to college, or if they promote college or speak of it in a positive way. Such nonsense! What more will it take for those still in to
realize that: The wts is nothing but a dangerous cult!

i decided that they must want to be approached since they were advertizing their witnesshood on their clothing.
nothing could be further from the truth.

Theodore Jaracz blatantly lied to me. I have written proof of his lie. As an elder I saw firsthand how the other elders lied constantly.
