from my perspective, the meetings are held on tuesday and thursday instead of the normal wednesday night during this week and they are more eager to go out in field service.

sunday came and my wife wanted us to attend the meeting.

The Circuit Overseer Visit

by garyneal in

last week, the circuit overseer came to visit my wifes congregation and as usual their patterns change somewhat during this week.

You don't actually have to be a member of the UN to use the library

True. Access to the U.N. library has never been dependent on becoming an NGO.

Regardless, even if the UN had the greatest library in the world and it was only accessible to those with NGO status, on what basis can WT justify doing what it did, considering its established record of publicly condemning the UN as the "scarlet colored wild beast" of Revelation, and enemy of God's Kingdom?

garyneal: Learning what I learned about their association with the UN, I am surprised that the CO would make such a comment in his talk. Evidently, he never got the memo

Gary- historically WT has a long and established record of condemning other religions for doing the very same thing WT is doing or will eventually be doing as time goes on.

The difference is, when other religions do these things it's a sin, "apostasy"; when WT does it, they they come up with 1,001 rationalizations why it's acceptable.

At the very same time WT was condemning the Catholic Church for having no less than 24 NGO positions with the UN, WT was also an NGO.

It is the height of hypocrisy.

But 99.999% of jdubs don't know about the NGO "wt scandal"...and if you told them, the pat answer would surely be, "Oh, but they stopped when they realized it was wrong

My response to this would be: if WT realized it was wrong and corrected their ways, why did they immediately join the OSCE as an NGO? The OSCE is the European sister organization of the UN, and their goals are so similar to the UN's they are viewed as one and the same. The OSCE is a self-described "political-military organization".

WT is still an NGO with the OSCE.

Who we are

With 56 States from Europe, Central Asia and North America, the OSCE is the world's largest regional security organization. It offers a forum for political negotiations and decision-making in the fields of early warning, conflict prevention, crisis management and post-conflict rehabilitation, and puts the political will of its participating States into practice through its unique network of field missions.

The OSCE has a comprehensive approach to security that encompasses politico-military, economic and environmental, and human aspects. It therefore addresses a wide range of security-related concerns, including arms control, confidence- and security-building measures, human rights, national minorities, democratization, policing strategies, counter-terrorism and economic and environmental activities.

More JW bragging about the Landover, MD. convention. Please have barf bag at the ready before reading

by AndDontCallMeShirley in

the following e-mail is circulating among jws about the international convention at fedex stadium in landover, md.

note the all-too-familiar jw claims: everything they do (including the simple act of parking cars) is proof of jehovah'stm blessing, and everything wt did at the convention was the fastest, greatest, best ever.

oh, and the never-fails-to-get-mentioned alleged 'persecution'/resistance from some unnamed authority who tried to get in watchtower's way and hamper the effort...but jws prevailed anyway (as always):.

AndDontCallMeShirley

Pete: I'm glad Jehovah is blessing the parking arrangement.....maybe he's trying to encourage people to drive their own cars since riding the bus to the assembly sometimes doesn't go so well.

With Jehovah in charge, JWs aren't even safe in a canoe, much less a bus:

Five family members drown in Prestea River

Sunday, 8 June 2014

Five persons said to be from the same family are feared to have drowned, after a canoe in which they were travelling capsized.

The five- a woman, her three daughters and a baby- were crossing a river to Prestea and later travel to Takwa for the Jehovah’s Witness convention there.
