Service meeting week of November 3rd! How to indoctrinate children
by stuckinarut2 inoh yep...here we go..... this weeks service meeting has a part designed to show how children should be indoctrinated and manipulated into going "out in service".
the part first asks for the disturbingly corny cartoon clip to be played on the big screen at the halls: "lets go out in service!".
(if you haven't watched it yet, please go to jw.org and watch it....you simply won't beleive it until you see it!).

I'm confused. If your sons do MMA why can't they do Halloween?
That makes no sense to me.

This should be an interesting book to read
by Doug Mason ini have not yet read this book, but it should be interesting:.
"the better angels of our nature: why violence has declined", steven pinker.. the publicity blurb states:.
"believe it or not, today we may be living in the most peaceful moment in our species' existence.

I'm about 1/2 way through it. It's a fun and entertaining read, but massive in scope. Some of the middle chapters have a lot of data to wade through, but most of it is pretty accessible.
Pinker has a very straightforward way of writing that I really enjoy.
His plain talk bashing of the religion in general and the Bible in particular is refreshing for it's candor. He really destroys the myth that Jehovah is a God of love.

Meeting for not paying assembly fees???!!!!
by Kool Jo inhey folks......has anyone else heard of, or experienced this before?.
i visited by parents over the weekend and accompanied them to their assembly....same rubbish spoken about since ive been born....obey the gb, donate your last penny, no education and be a pushover.. anyways, our assembly hall has lush vegetation and scenery, so i was more focused on that....i started dozing off after lunch, so got up and went walking, saw some older folks from the congregation i grew up with.. upon the conclusion of the assembly, wed normally leave out right after the prayer ends so as to avoid the traffic.
however, for this assembly he told me that hes gonna be a few minutes with the elders and branch representatives...so a few minutes turned into an hour..

TheOldHippie, good point. I'd forgotten about that.
Interestingly, once a person no longer filters everything in the Bible through the filter of "it's inspired" it becomes easy to see it for what it really is.
That being said, the biblical Jesus was one messed up person.

When I was an elder, we were constantly admonished to avoid drawing attention to ourselves in our public talks or other meeting parts.
It would seem that Tony the Turd does not believe that this counsel applies to himself.
There is a word for this. It starts with the letter "H" and rhymes with "hypocrite."

Finkelstein: unfortunately there seems to be some evasive hiding going on by these GB members.
That's because they're cowards. - Revelation 21:8

David Splane Destroys the Very Foundation of 1914- Corp. Meeting New Light
by scotoma inat the corporate meeting david splane discusses the use and misuse of types/antitypes.. the main qualifier of a type is that an account must be represented in the scriptures as a. type of some future event.. he quoted schroeder who said if an account isnt explained in the scriptures as a type than you.
shouldnt use the event as a type.. splane summed up his talk by saying if the bible is silent - we must be silent.. but they go right on celebrating the 100 years from 1914 which was determined by improperly.
going beyond anything written in the bible about nebuchadnezzars tree dream.. the bible specifically refers to the immense tree as representing nebuchadnezzar.. daniel explained it and that should be the end of the matter.. .

Ok, let's try and get it straight: the guys that are the figure-heads of this organization, the 7 GB members, are completely clueless and haven't had an original thought between them in their entire lives.

Today's watchtower. Why no emphasis on doctrine?
by kneehighmiah ini believe the jws are morphing into a mainstream social religious group.
we've long been taught we had the truth due to our suoerior doctrine.
it appears that the gb knows that their teachings are ludicrous and indefensible.

Because doctrine doesn't matter.
Steven Hassan has been saying this for years. Apparently the GB members (or whoever actually runs this corporation) have read his work.

FTS, yeah, I also thought about the account of the money changers, but they were NOT his disciples.
Jesus was allegedly quite direct with anyone that he thought was a hypocrite, but not with his disciples; at least according to the Bible. (Which, by the way, I don't personally believe.)

Frankie, some 7 million JWs say I'm right.
Hey, I'd rather be wrong. I have two children still stuck in this cult!
No doubt some will wake up over this, but I doubt it will be the majority.
Again, I hope I'm wrong about this and will be the first to admit it if I am. I just don't see it.
Very few JWs know about the UN/NGO debacle and that got pretty broad press at the time.
I've asked a few JWs about Candace Conti and the majority never even heard of her or the $27 million judgement against the WTBTS.
Look how huge the Catholic church scandal was over their pedophile problem. How many Catholics left the religion over it? Not many.
