I Feel So Much More Intelligent Now

by OneFingerSalute in

well i must say that after the serve us meeting tonight i feel so much more intelligent.

almost as if i had four years of college condensed into ten minutes.. that is what was spent going on about how to use the glossary in the back of the "wonderful" new revised bible.

we got a crash course on how to look up the words listed alphabetically.

Now, when the elder finished presenting the material, the effect was that the congregation was astounded at his way of teaching; for he was teaching them as a person having authority, and not as some lowly college professor.

Searching for a quote about education

by Zoos in

the watchtower (or awake!

) quoted some secular entity that made the observation that educated people were difficult to manage.

can you please help me find this quote?.

Zoos

Thanks, Splash. I don't think that's the one but I appreciate your input.

I actually discovered the quote while lurking on this site so I know it's here somewhere. I just can't remember the wording accurately enough to pull it out of the search engine.

Just the fact that a little quip like that would capture the attention of the faithful slave so much that they just HAD to print it, is very telling of where their minds are with regard to education.

CANDACE CONTI - MIXED EMOTIONS

by The Searcher in

whatever the outcome of the appeal, i fear that most of us are going to be very disappointed.. a) obviously if the org wins.. b) if the org loses, they will put their plan 'b' into action - damage limitation - which will iinvolve confidentiality agreements being signed by pending/future victims, thereby settling the majority of cases out of court, and winning in several ways;.

there are probably other benefits, but these are the principal ones, and for these reasons i reckon the floodgates will never be allowed to be opened!!!

they've seen how other establishments have responded to their pedophile cases, and have picked up some good tips on how to minimise the effects.

With CBS's (?) request to record the proceedings, I assumed the the media's juices were already flowing.

Jehovah's Witness Elders Question A Brother For Not Turning In Field Service Time

by Watchtower-Free in

found this on youtube.

not turning in field service time is worse than porn because sexual urges are natural, disobeying the b0rg is not.

Okay, I'm done!

Losing Faith

by cappytan in

i've always been a "spiritual" person.

i've been an avid bible reader since as early as i can remember.

i read the bible cover to cover for the first time when i was about 17 years old and have read it at least twice more since then.

Zoos

You know, that new covenant included a clause wherein God would "put [His] laws in their mind, and in their hearts [He] shall write them."

We're not bound by the contents of the bible. It's okay to graduate, move on, taking what is useful and leaving what is not. If you keep confining yourself to the pages of a book and the mentality of Religion, Inc you're not leaving any room for God to write anything in your heart.

NEW LIGHT FROM SLO CIRCUIT OVERSEER "Warning, Blood on Doorposts", "The Couple who Missed One Meeting Died With Their Kids, Don't Miss Any!

by Trailer Park Pioneer in

sorry, i messed up before i could put the right title on this new light from our circuit overseer, his visit show's a great desperation in the organization's mindset, adding more anxiety and guilt to jws who already feel they don't measure up!.

hi, i attended the circuit overseers visit and got really angry because our c.o.

gave information coming from the governing body's chief apologists regarding "meeting attendance" and "the couple who missed one meeting and lost their entire family because they did not get the "411" when armageddon was coming!

Tough luck for the brothers and sister in the other congregation who are home watching TV that night.
