thats a big test.
can you think of the test that that would put on gods people?
its a big test, its a big test.
You are correct Pistoff.
They would not allow all their faults to be aired in this manner. But they may not have liked it even then. Remember CO's made up their own talks in those days.
Now every, that is, EVERY talk is an outline or a script from the service department.
I was talking to a current D O and he clearly resents not being able to give HIS OWN talks.
they have used this sort of bull in the past.
but this time they really amp it up with the relating themselves with jesus.
and why are they still such cowards.
Notice Jesus' reaction when the others left because they ceased believing: he didn't shun them, tell others not to talk to them, say mean things about them, or try to force them back through emotional biological blackmail.
Good thinking Jonathan.
i recieved a letter today and it reads:.
sister jennifer b****,.
we request your presence for a judical hearing.
Billy that was brilliant, just brilliant.
desirousofchange made a point that i feel needs more exposure.
brother macmillan got right back on stage and gave another address saying they had been mistaken and needed to wait on jehovah.. someone at hq actually admitted they had made a mistake.. regarding 1975, it was the over-anxious r&f publishers who made the mistake of assuming more than was written.
no mistakes at hq!.
Usually the material the DO uses at Host Congs is the same from his talks at the Assembly.
DesirousOf Change, Why do you say that?
if you want to skip to the new light or understanding, its underlined for you pleasure.
i think some will find this interesting.
we had the co tonight.
The branches give them their districts.
and recommended dates for circuit assemblies, which then becomes the schedule for the district overseers.
And yes Old Hippie, the branch recommends, and the GB does rubber stamp the c o and d o appointments.

He specifically said that since the governing body cannot come be our traveling overseer that every wednesday they get together and decide where each CO and DO will go in the world. They do this because they care about us. The governing body delegated other tasks to the branch committee but they take care of this one. Otherwise, this CO is a dumbass and doesnt know what he is talking about.
Seeing there are several thousand co's and several hundred do's I think he would be a dumbass to suggest that the gb could "get together" each Wednesday, "and decide where each CO and DO will go in the world".
Physical impossibillity.

Then he said every wednesday the governing body meets and personally decides where every CO and DO will go in the world.
Would you mind checking your notes on the above as such a scenario would be impossible. How could the gb decide such things for all the countries of the world. That is done by the branch, the DO's and the CO's. There must have been something else, perhaps their appointment. That is rubber-stamped by the GB.
well worth a watch.
nick xenophon, a senator with a particular interest in cults and an opponent of scientology in australia gave the opening remarks for one of the sessions.
this is the first session of the conference, check out the other videos too.. .
Thank you Mickey mouse.
Well worth the watch.
court hearing results for december 6, 2011:.
steven unthank is still the acting prosecutor (and that's why he could not comment on the case on the"dialogue" program), and all 5 cases are still before the courts.
the crown informed the court that the office of public prosecutions are "acting as a facilitator at the moment"; and that the police investigation is "quite well progressed"; and that the police are awaiting response from the department of justice.. .
What I don't understand is that if " a younger person was needed due to the workload" why not just relieve Mouritz of the "workload" and put someone else in charge. That's been done many times before. But I guess they have to put some spin on it.
I also read here that he was needed in Poland for ONE YEAR. It's not as though Poland is his home and he is being sent home in his old age. Viv Mouritz is born and bred Australian
.
over the past few weeks i've been told that the eurozone will go into melt down and that this will be the start of armargeddon because the goverments will then turn on religon to get their money instead.. i have been told that the greek pm almost rejecting the greek bailout plan would lead to armargeddon.
of course much to the jw's disapointment the greek pm resigned and the greeks did accept the bail out.
thus saving the greek banks from collapse and thus the rest of the european banks.. i have been told that italys debt will mean they will plunder the vatican for its wealth!
Sonny,
