Newest Anti-Apostate Tactics
by Anna Marina indon't quote any scriptures during the watchtower study that are not in the paragraph.. don't quote the governing body or anything from the broadcast ever.
it might be true but it is not true truth if it is coming out of your mouth if you have been critical of the governing body.
especially so if your criticism is valid and you have dared to support you view with scriptures, most especially the words of jesus christ.. anyone know of other new tactics?.

to whack in legitimate scriptures and get the elders to quietly pass over what you just said as they hunt around for someone else who will give the right answer.
@Anna Marina ...
Wow, you gave me flashbacks from 40-50 years ago when my father was doing the WT study. We had a couple of brothers who would go off on a tangent (one was of the annointed) and sometimes give some "way-out" answers and opinions that were different from the "standard" answers.
He would say nothing, let them talk, just smile, and then pick on someone who he knew would give the "correct" answer.

Interesting That in the Regional Convention They Are Asking for More Volunteers to Bethel
by RubaDub infor those of us who could sit through the program so far, i did find it interesting that they are again asking for people to apply to bethel.. i happened to speak to a friend who called and asked him why they would do that.
his response was that, well, they need younger people there.. i guess once you are over 50 or something you are eligible to be sent out to pasture..

Make sure you take your temperature regularly.
@Anna Maria ...
I am finding it easier to remember to take my temperature using the anal thermometer hourly.
I am building an Excel spreadsheet and using the various charting features to analyze the results.
I am thinking about reducing it to 30 minute intervals for a more accurate analysis when viewing the trend of the slope.

Prophesy from a JW (and others perspective). What purpose is there in trying to interpretate some of the stuff that you don't understand??
by RubaDub inthis is not a jw-bashing thing, but it always seemed odd to me that the "excuse" when things go wrong is that "we have to wait and see how the prophesy is fulfilled" or some other wording.. my question has always been, then what is the purpose of the prophesy if you don't understand it until after the fact?
isn't that like having a weather forecast but being told that we don't really know what the weather will be until the next day?.
i'm sure some of the intelligent people here can guide me but in all honesty, i never understood that..

It must continue for 4 more years to continue the prophesy unless the end comes on 11/3
@Rattigan350 ...
If the end comes on 11/3, that's a Tuesday. That's the day for our early-week our trash pickup here where I live. The truck comes sometime between 10AM and noon.
Do you suggest I don't have to worry about putting out the trash that day?
