What SOP said!
If they were REALLY interested in "truth," then they would DESTROY all older publications which contain "old light" and ONLY distribute new, current publications.
Cognitive dissonance, anyone?

One Day assembly in Arizona- $17,000 !!
by AndDontCallMeShirley ini heard from a reliable source that a one-day assembly in arizona last weekend had a "cost" to the publishers of $17,000.. predictably, the elders were nice enough to obligate the attendees to a $6,000 donation to wt before the assembly "costs" (i.e.
"rent/extortion) were even met.
$11,000 rent plus $6000 in extra "donations".

Shirley, that's a great excerpt to quote.
The conclusion then is either:
- The GB do NOT actually "scrutinize" each and every WTBTS publication, or
- All of them are poor proof-readers.
Either way, Holy Spirit ain't got nothin' to do with it, baby!

I can see how my mother has to convince herself every time there is a change.
It's called cognitive dissonance baby, and it's a bitch. This is how people resolve it.
I told her now that Gog,of Magog,is no longer believed to be Satan. She's like,well,that makes sense. That never made sense to me,ugh.
Yeah, sadly funny. I would have asked her, "Well if it makes sense to you, could you explain it to me? And how long have you NOT believed it was Satan? ... So, that means then that, for all that time, you thought the WTBTS was wrong about the identity of Gog of Magog. What else do you think they're wrong about?"
I'm sure she'd say, "Nothing."
To which you could reply, "Good. Let's mark this down for future reference. You now, as of this moment do not think the WTBTS is wrong about anything. Great, then next time they make a doctrinal change, and they most certainly will, we're going to revisit it and see how you feel then, because you will NOT be able to say, 'That makes sense,' or 'That's what I already thought,' because you just told me that you agree with everything they currently teach."

All of this would be a complete non-newsworthy event if it were not for the fact that the GB claim they are the anointed of Jehovah!

I think I've finally been disfellowshipped
by Godsendconspirator init wasn't my preferred method of leaving but at least i'm as far as i can be from this cult.
over 2 years ago i've tried to fade out but i guess i did it too drastically.
i live in nyc so the entire territory is walkable and everybody in the congregation live pretty close by.

GSC: I've seen how much of their love is conditional
All of it is.
When you see them on the street or in a diner be yourself and say, "Hey! How are you? It's great to see you! ..... So what's up? Are you ingnoring me? What's wrong with you? ... Wow, just wow!"
Make 'em own their shit.

Today's WT study (10/12/14) - a sales seminar!
by OneEyedJoe inthis cult is getting really shameless.
the wt study was always supposed to be for discussion of 'the deep truths' of the bible.
the wt may have always been filled with utter nonsense, but at least it had the appearance of a topical discussion of bible doctrine.
