Berrygerry, it was Armstrong that originally came up with the idea of 1975 the jws copied him. I also notice on the original website to this thread it looks like they too are on Roku .

How much hallucinogenic drugs played a part in the creation of the Bible? How much did dmt play in to thier concept of knowledge since one of the trees in the garden of eden was a tree of knowledge? Jacobs ladder and other stories in the Bible did they come about when someone was on DMT?

Isn't there a scripture that says that blood is to be poured out and wasn't it not to long ago jws were not to use any medical device that stored or recovered blood because of this scripture? Is this not more hypocrisy?

So it was claimed that the resolution issued by the meeting at Jerusalem was issued by the Holy Spirit (Acts 15), yet................
by deegee inaccording to acts 15, the meeting at jerusalem boldly declared that god's holy spirit issued a formal resolution counselling christians to "abstain from meats offered to idols and from blood, and from things strangled, and from formication", yet in 1 corinthians chapters 8 &10 paul set the holy spirit-issued resolution of the jerusalem meeting regarding the eating of meat sacrificed to idols aside:.
"concerning the eating of food offered to idols … some, because of their former association with the idol, eat food as something sacrificed to an idol, and their conscience, being weak, is defiled.
but food will not bring us nearer to god; we are no worse off if we do not eat, nor better off if we eat.

Who's to say the book of acts was written before the book of Corinthians. It's like dealing with the proclamations made at the Nicea in 325 called the nicean creed. Why did the bishops even have to deal with the issues about christs divinity , for the book of John told them or maybe it's because the book of John hadn't been written yet.

Sounds like if you weren't found out and exposed you and the wife could of maybe just faded and moved away from her parents all would be fine. Unfortunately nothing ever goes smoothly when your waking up in a cult, to much emotion.

WTS Rich or Hurting for $$$
by Zeds Dead inseen a few discussions asking if the wts are hurting for $$ or still sitting on a mountain of gold.. regardless of their child abuse legal fees and ongoing broadcasting for more dough, i believe they have piles and piles of cash.. talked with a diff'd accountant who sat in the accounting dept.
at the conventions for years.. a football stadium (or the like) costs them about $70 - 90,000 to rent for a 3 day dub show.
they take in $400,000 in donations from the r&f.

They sold off many of thier buildings in New York so no thier not hurting anymore. They have also downsized costs. Now it's about long term survival for them. You can tell someone is running the show that's not the GB. I think thier biggest concern is falling membership. Most countries don't have the money to give and the US members are becoming poorer and poorer.
The number of US members that are of Latin decent and probably illegals are becoming the major population of jws in the coming years. So in the end it's about falling numbers of members that's driving thier decisions. I bet they have less then 4 million adult baptized members that are actually in a position to give money if they wish. 4 million and falling!

I father died broke homeless and destitute same with my mother in law. You can thank the Borg for that. My father in law will also die broke only my mother thanks to worldly money will not. I have a sneaky suspicion that any money she has left over will go to my sister which is fine by me!
All in all I think most jws die the way my father did with no money to give to anyone let alone the cult.

I didn't realize until yesterday that Nelson Bourbor also was in to pyramidalogy. I realize now that they were predicting Armageddon and using the pyramid measurements as proof. I always thought Russell went to Egypt and used The measurements to confirm the date.

Moving to Warwick Video incl. Morning Worship
by Listener ina new video is up about the commencement of moving to warwick.shawn bartlett tells the viewers that jehovah has said, through the governing body, ‘it’s time to move out of brooklyn.
‘ then helper robert lucciona says ‘ the governing body, these brothers, as soon as they see god’s direction, they just move, it doesn’t matter if it is long held, cherished ideas, this is the way it has to be done, as soon as they see jehovahs direction.
he just kept nudging imperfect humans, he knew where he wanted us and then we end up where we are supposed to be.

Wonder how nice the new homes are for the GB? Maybe they don't even live there , maybe they actually live in New York City in some nice condos?
