in my most recent talk, i got counseled for using some terms that were not prefered.
for example i said "new testament" rather than "the christian greek scriptures".
i also used the term "gospel", but even worse, i made reference to the "synoptic gospels" and the "gnostic gospel".. i guess i never thought of it before, but when i looked at the societies information on the matter they always say things like, "the so-called new testament..." or "the so-called synoptic gospels..." why with all the "so-called?".
They hate the word 'church',
when used of the kingdom hall.
But it truly is such -
dictionary certified and all.
And don't say JWs have a 'clergy',
despite the definition's matching the governing body.
They are not 'creationists',
despite believing in creation.
What deceitful redefinitionists!
Will this Watchtower stupidity ever be done?
anybody going or who can give us the noolite hot from the gb a$$?.

I have heard my close relatives who are dyed in the wool JWs speaking about the 10 hour basic pioneering. It seems like it may be true.
re: jw broadcasting.
dear brothers:.
we are writing to inform you of an exciting initiative that was announced on october 4,.
Is that letter for real, or is that just a spoof you made up? Because that last paragraph . . .
We have also contracted with an outside company, Roku , to make it possible to view JW
Broadcasting on a normal television by means of Roku streaming players, including the Roku 1,
Roku 2, Roku 3, and the Roku Streaming Stick. These products can be purchased online or at
retail stores.
. . . screams of sacrilegious commercialization. Why is Jehovah's Organization (TM) having a contract with a worldly company and even advertising them to JWs in a letter sent to congregations? I can see Jesus making a whip to beat the members of the GB while saying: 'Stop making my Father's house into a market for Roku!'
i think the resurrection hope really really messes up people.. .
at some funerals i have not seen a tear shed.. .
could grieving be interpreted as a lack of faith?.
Here's a link to a very interesting interview Eric (JWstruggle) recently had with an "unbaptized apostate". You can fast-forward to 20:25 where she talks about how odd it is that her JW bible teacher didn't seem to grieve the death of her daughter:

You're both welcome.
As far as JWs are concerned, any information that is critical of JWs or the Watchtower, is just a load of apostate lies. They prejudicially dismiss all critical information as false without even investigating it. They even consider it a sin to independently investigate any claims by apostates.
from my yahoo answers question here: .
"the bible says of deborah: "now deborah, a prophetess, the wife of lappidoth, was judging israel at that time.
5 she used to sit under the palm tree of deborah between ramah and bethel in the hill country of ephraim; and the sons of israel came up to her for judgment.
Did anyone attending the meeting try to comment on paragraph 12 to mention that Deborah was a judge? stuckinarut2?
