12 years ago

i had a chance to drop a bomb on a 'bro' that i have known many years.

you should'a been there.. (this is the second time in less than 2 months i have dropped this particular bomb on a bro and in this manner).

before i tell the story, which you will enjoy, note that i have remained "in" the org for many years after finding out the ttatt.. 1) for the sake of family (limited time left).

so another wonderful tract campaign will take place in november.

cities and towns will be inundated by a cheap bifold about the dead .. but the dubs are warned--if there is a "no trespassing sign" on a property enter at your own risk.

so says the letter from mother/gb that was read this week at the hall.

As a kid, in door-to-door service with mom, I saw a sign and asked, "What's 'soliciting'?"

"That's for people who sell things like vacuum cleaners."

"We're selling magazines." (At the time I think they were going for .10 each)

"No son. We're placing magazines."

"Ohh!" [grin]

"The Watchtower's Achilles' Heel"

if reasoning with a jehovahs witness on the watchtower societys interpretations of the kingdom of god, parousia, the cross, blood, and so on is unlikely to break the wtss mental stranglehold, what then is its achilles heel?.

jehovah, please allow our house to sell so we can go preach in another country where the need is great.. jehovah please help me get that job where i dont have to work shiftwork anymore and i can make all the meetings.. jehovah we need $200 so we can go to the convention, please look after us.. ah yes, the prayers of the faithful one.

how we look at these and feel our hearts swell with love for our god.

many of us at one time or another have asked for things such as these.

Back when I was trying to get reinstated I tried and failed for 5 years to quit smoking. Prayed my fool butt off. I was trying to be a good boy - there was no reason why God should withhold holy spirit. Then one day I joined a smoking cessation class being offered by the local health department and they gave me a prescription for Chantix. I had my last cigarette about one week later.

Nevertheless, it always made me uncomfortable to give credit to the counseling or the Chantix.

"How did you finally quit, Zoos?"

"God's holy spirit, you know."

I'm not prepared to write off the possibility that God helps out in some way to help a person get on his feet spiritually, but stating that Their zeal for the Christian ministry gives powerful evidence [of] holy spirit is a pretty far fetched conclusion.
