The rank-and-filer just ends up making JWs and the WTS look bad.
As if WT needs help looking bad...
"People love it when we come to their doors. Fully half of them want to see us". I see she makes up B.S. numbers just like WT does.
the man was moving around in the darkness of j's home with a gun.
he was certain j. and his family weren't there, but he was wrong.
when a door suddenly opened and a dark figure fumbled for the hallway light, he had only a moment to act.
Let's not forget that WT is the same organization that would quickly disfellowship a woman if a body of janitors (Elders) determined she didn't resist enough when being raped.
.
The Watchtower January 15th 1964 Issue, Pages 63-64:
"What is the position of a Christian woman... if faced with a... situation [of being attacked by a rapist]? Is she to scream even if an attacker threatens her life with a weapon?"
"But suppose the man had a weapon and threatened to kill the girl if she failed to lie down with him?"
"[The Bible] plainly says she should scream; hence, oppose the attack regardless of the circumstances."
"Thus if a Christian woman does not cry out and does not put forth every effort to flee, she would be viewed as consenting to the violation. The Christian woman who wants to keep clean and obey God's commandments, then, if faced with this situation today, needs to be courageous and to act on the suggestion made by the Scriptures and scream. Actually this counsel is for her welfare; for, if she should submit to the man's passionate wishes, she would not only be consenting to fornication or adultery, but be plagued by the shame. There would be shame, not only from the repulsiveness of the experience, but of having been coerced into breaking God's law by having sex connections with one other than a legal marriage mate.".
.
Damned if you defend yourself, damned if you don't. With WT there is no winning.

What a bizarre statement..."during daytime"? So you can go all Dirty Harry so long as the sun has set?
I'm sure the Pharisees also had similar rules bogged down in nonsensical idiotic minutiae.
JW woman to a rapist who's just broken into her home:
"I'm sorry, it's 5 minutes until sunset. Would you mind holding off any attempted rape for 5 minutes? I don't want to get in trouble with my elders. At the 5 min, one second mark go ahead and attack and I will cap your ass only then".
wait a minute, who's going to do all this stuff if all non-JWs are killed at Armageddon?
There you go, sir82- thinking too much again !
Try to be more like a JW and don't put any thought at all into the logistics of how stringing a bunch of impossibles together equals the possible.

JWs are so hard-hearted...all in support of the GB they worship.
i read here recently that the khs are being instructed to buy and install projector systems.. now that we've seen the launch of of tv.jw.org we can fully expect public talks to - on a monthly basis at least - be replaced by content streamed from the site to the screens in khs.. .
.
Simon: All this slick stuff has a hidden cost - they will rob a whole generation of the joy of watching an amateur try to give a good public presentation and fail miserably.
Remember when someone said the wrong thing or accidentally fell off the platform? There will be none of that anymore. Entertainment value, little that it was, will fall to zero and millions will leave as a result.
Oh, I don't know. I think watching the GB on streaming tv will do for WT what George W. Bush did for late night comedians: provide ample material for a good laugh.
JW TV is an "investment that will be go on into the years ahead".
Of course, just like the Warwick project, his statement will be amended as meaning the jw.tv station will survive through Armageddon and be used to broadcast information from the "new scrolls" when JWs are rebuilding planet earth. Armageddon is still coming any minute now.
I'm suprised he didn't say (like they said about Warwick) the GB have no idea what Jehovah has in mind for jw.tv but they went ahead with the project anyway (just hoping someday god lets them in on the big secret).
Dumbasses.
i have searched the j-worg website for this term but couldn't find anything about it.
am i wrong in thinking they used to say witnesses had spiritual paradise now?
can anyone point me to articles about it?.
The term is used hundreds of times in WT literature and is a regular part of a JWs language. Here's one recent example from a GB member:
.
*** w12 8/15 p. 18 A Meeting Marked by Unity and Thrilling Plans ***
Brother Herd referred to Psalm 92:12-14 and asked, “How does Jehovah enable us to flourish?” He answered: “In the spiritual paradise, God keeps us warm, protects us, and gives us refreshing waters of truth. Let us thank him for that.”

This is one of the many subjects you won't see mentioned on JW Org. It is on WT Library cd rom
