at the australian royal commission (yes, that again), watchtower rock star pope, his holiness wacko jacko was asked by angus (my new hero) stewart the following:.
angus stewart q. and do you see yourselves as jehovah god's spokespeople on earth?
his holiness replied: a. that i think, would seem to be quite presumptuous to say that we are the only spokesperson that god is using.
Yea , why does god need a 'spokesperson' anyway? If he really wants to impress humans, let's hear his voice out of heaven. Now that would help people believe in god!

my mother is old enough that i don't want to burst her bubble by telling her ttatt.
i keep my mouth shut about what i know so that i can continue to have a relationship with her.
my father died a few years back and i would love to see her marry again.
"Pray" that she falls in love with an 'unbeliever' and has a happy rest of her life. In fact try to encourage her to look outside the box!

it is reported that elder kevin bowditch was so upset at the grilling he received at the arc that he has traveled to austin, texas to prepare for any future encounters with angus stewart.. we see from various stages of the interrogation his increasing anguish.
he is reported as saying in private, '.. that's never going to happen again.
i think i was hung up and left out to dry by the governing body.
If I were an elder in his situation, I'd be pissed off too. How come jehober didn't put the right words in his mouth? He had a large audience to provide a wonderful 'witness' and yet he fell on his face. He should have 'waited on jehober' to put the correct words in his mouth. He's still be sitting there!

power of reason makes no room for a satan, a savior or gods organization.
religions behave as though they do not know the meaning of the very word religion (from religare, latin, to reconnect) and go to any extent to keep their identity and to massage their feeling of self-importance.
this makes adherents hypocrites which in turn makes onlookers lose their faith in god.
"Power of reason" is not one of the necessary steps nor qualities that one must have to be baptized as a JW. In fact, it probably disqualifies a person!

the ancient hebrews left two bequests:.
a universal, single god named yahweh;.
a series of writings identified as sacred scripture..
Whoever HE was HE was a man's GOD. Men created HIM for their own purposes and the women got screwed because HE said it was ok. Sort of like the situation today in the middle east for women. HE has many names and HE's still a man's GOD over there.

Some of the 'experiences' that are given at the rc's and ca's are sickeningly embellished and contrived to say the least. They are designed to appeal only to the emotional heart strings of the modern day dubs.
As I have often told my 'stillin' wife, these same kind of 'experiences' are also given at other religious events and revivals. Every religion has there "unique" stories to 'prove' that they are the true religion.

"Imitate the Governing Body" RC next year! Everyone who wears a 'pinky' ring gets the best seats.

wt publications http://www.a2z.org/wtarchive/archive.htm (old).
united nations http://www.randytv.com/secret/unitednations.htm .
when pornography is mentioned by the wts they mean men, who obviously cant control their sexual desires, so that even a moment is too much.
Nice summary Blondie!
Do you ever wonder why the god that is so disgusted with sexual immorality has so many juicy 'accounts' of it recorded in the bible for our benefit?
Not saying that immorality is a good thing but when we read god's 'inspired' word and come across the story of Lot and his 2 daughters getting screwed by daddy, getting pregnant by daddy, and then reading that daddy Lot was a "righteous" man? What?
David screws Bathsheba, gets her pregnant and has her husband murdered and he's god's buddy? What?
Most of the "faithful men of old" have multiple wives and concubines (lovers)? What was god thinking when he had these stories preserved "for teaching, for reproving, for setting things straight".
