  Getting it out of my system, a VERY long introduction/outpouring..

  by adimmedlight in

  warning, novel ahead:.

  after a few months of lurking on this site, i've decided to take the plunge...i don't really care so much about introducing myself, but somehow there is some relief in the thought of getting my little story out there, just getting it out of my system.

  i am the oldest of 5 kids.

  My thoughts on the RC 2015

  having endured three days of dashing attempts at further indoctrination, i feel the need to write up some of the stuff i left with.

  it is just good therapy.. right away the change was noticeable in the air.

  the assembly hall in la feria, tx still smells like new.

  StarTrekAngel,

  I am very familiar with the La Feria AH and can attest to your comments regarding the local brothers. The fact that the WT did not utilize the La Feria AH for the RCs last year is due to them scheduling bigger groups in major metro areas like Houston. It's too bad that these brothers have to travel 5 1/2 hours to attend.

  The new owners will cut them some slack and let 'em stay as long as they need to while their resort gets comleted. Money takes care of money.

  If you had any doubts about the pitifully poor mental prowess of Watchtower and JWs in general ...

  by Island Man in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  if you had any doubts about the pitifully poor mental prowess of watchtower and jws in general then i'm sure this week's watchtower study (week of june 15-21, 2015) completely obliterated such doubts.

  the study article (watchtower april 15, 2015, page 19: how real is your relationship with jehovah?

  ) was filled with blatantly fallacious reasoning that were outdone only by the more fallacious reasoning on the part of commenting jws.. the article, in paragraph 2, says this about a relationship with jehovah:.

  "As it were", What does that mean? That is another phrase I have eliminated from my vocabulary, like "system of things".

  Could it have anything to do with labor laws and/or social security reations (or lack thereof)?

  JW TV is the reason for the hysteria in the KH

  by campaign of hate in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  if you, like me, have noticed the sudden increase in hysteria in the khs right now, i put it down to that jw tv site.

  its's far more extensive than i thought it was, i thought it was just 1, 1 hour program a month.

  there's a s*** load of videos on that site.. and the real problem, from just watching a clip from each video, is that these guys are clearly "mentally unstable".

  The order will soon come down from JW.tv to hunker down in KH, make dung cakes and wait for further orders from "Mother".

  I suspect that George Lucas read the old "Babylon the Great has Fallen!" book, ate a pepperoni pizza to cure a hangover, then came up with the Star Wars idea.  I mean, there are too many similarities between Star Wars concepts and WT lore such as:

  Jedi Council- Governing Body

  The Force- Holy Spirit

  Sith Lord- Satan

  Empire- King of the North

  Republic- King of the South (iron and clay toes of the Daniel image)

  Light Saber- Sword of the truth

  Jedi Knight- Kingdom publisher

  Padawan Learner- Bible student

   Armageddon- Galactic Death Star battle

  Please tell me that I'm not the only one that sees this.

  Conti Appeal Preview - Oral Argument Jan 14

  by Chaserious in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  with hopefully a good deal of interest here in the conti appeal tomorrow (or later today, depending on where you are), i thought that on my ride home from work tonight i'd preview what to expect and what i think the key issues are for any who are interested.

  i have had a busy few weeks and haven't had time to read everything, but i had some time to look at the appeal briefs during my work commute the past couple days.

  it'll be interesting to see what develops out of the network news coverage of this case.

  Did the elders make sister Conti go out in field service with the accused to show her willingness to forgive?  If so, why didn't the lawyers bring this out?  Publishers are typically "assigned" to cargroups by the elder/MS that take out the group.
