This is so cultish, it almost made me cry. Poor souls, so brainwashed and under the magic spell of selfdelusion. In stark contrast to the freedom Christ promised to those who would be his followers and be led by HS. Slavery at its hadest form.

they would go where the spirit inclined them to go.—ezek.
jesus has appointed the ‘faithful slave’ to be the only channel for dispensing spiritual food.

I will go and eat of the bread and drink of the wine as Jesus my Lord and saviour has wished me to do. That's what and whom my hope, my faith and my trust rests upon, - forgivness of sins.

This gets whackier every couple of months. I am so glad that these charlatans no longer have any authority over me. I belong to Christ now. Religion is most of the time organized apostasy from faith.

I have not read the article but I am sure of one thing. They miss the christian point. If you check out how the experience of being transformed at new birth (John 3) changes you profoundly, you will see that their way of christianity is like having a corpse inflated with air and immitating movements and making it speak with some tech-trick. True christian life comes through the adoption as a child of God. I tryed the JW-way for over 2 decades, what a waste of time and what a mountain of frustration. The other way around made me live through intense and profound changes and it happened in a blink of an eye at a moment in my life where I was weak.

It's simple to me. If God created an all-veggie planet, soon those would have eaten all the green stuff and have overpopulated and destroyed the base of living on the planet. MAD-scenario- unworkable CO2-bomb. God bless.

Any thoughts on the real reasons for droppng the 'school"
by sparrowdown inmy thoughts are.
1. they want to avoid being made to comply with any laws that come with anything classed as a "school" especially a school with children enrolled.. 2. the mid-week meeting has been dying in the ass for years and needs a revival.
i predict happy -clappy-sing-a-longs to be included in the program.. anyone else have any thoughts ??

School is direction from the GB. Responsibility is assigned to the one who is teaching. Once the school is gone they might get away with the idea that there is no central control agent who is responsible. They again want to get their ass off the hot seat. -

Have those printed in China by a commercial printing business, it would certainly cost 10cts or less if the volume would be high enough. Transport would be the highest cost factor. -

Remember that Letter to Elders that asked them to privately inquire if any of the brothers were LAWYERS.....
by Muddy Waters ini remember a thread here somewhere where a letter to the body of elders was posted and elders were to read part of the letter asking who might have experience or training in video media, graphic design, etc.
then on a separate page not to be read to the congregation was for elders to make discreet inquiries as to any who might have legal knowledge, experience or expertise.. well, in view of all this new kafluffle about branch closures, building work suspended, bethel layoffs, etc., it really makes me wonder now just what the heck is going on.
has the gb been shafted by their own legal counsel or financial advisors?

A capital misalocation /bad investment would be a big bang and Dubs would leave in droves. It looks like a charade to prepare for the GA-theater piece coming up. More bagging for money for certain. It would be too early to have them mandated to create a compensation fund for their abuse victims.... tbc
