  There was a time when the police were considered the good guys. I think for the most part now as a group they are considered power tripping bullies. You can't even try to explain anything to these thugs without them wanting to first slam you to the concrete, cuff you, then claim you were resisting even though the natural tendency is to resist being forced to concrete. All part of the U.S. becoming a police state. I'm not a big fan of the police.

  Malaysian flight crash in Ukraine VS Flight 93 in Pennsylvania

  by EndofMysteries in

  i wonder if anybody else has wondered about the differences between those 2 flights?

  in the malaysian flight that crashed from 30,000 feet high, tons of wreckage, body parts, bodies, documents, etc, all over the place.

  yet in the pa flight 93, just a crater in the ground, no bodies, everything supposedly vaporized.

  Testimony card returns

  by sir82 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  old timers, or careful readers of the proclaimers book, are familiar with the "testimony card" used in the early days of rutherford-era door to door witnessing.

  the jw would traipse up to a house, knock, hand the card over to the householder, and wait while he read it.. well, it seems that "everything old is new again".

  here is an excerpt from a recent boe letter:.

  Wing Commander- Aparently the stones WON'T be crying out, but these flimsy business cards with JW.org logo and scan will.

  Baltar- Everyone, you're not thinking "borgy" enough. Computers are made of silicon. Silicon makes up rocks. Rocks and stones are the same in the bible. Therefore: The "Stones crying out is actually referring to modern computer systems and they spreading the message of JW.ORG!"

  Baltar.....that was brillant!

  Speculation Fall AGM

  by Poztate in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  a lot of comments have been made about possible big changes at the agm in the fall.. comments range from changes to the blood doctrine or who compose the one hundred and forty four thousand.. my speculation is.... (and if someone else had this kind of thread i am not stealing from you..just never read it).

  the door to door as we know it will cease to exist.

  the publishing of a monthly public wt and awake will end.. instead each month a tract with different subjects and a redirect to jw.org will come out.

  No reason for them to change anything big. (144,000 symbolic, all partaking emblems, etc) Over-lapping generation was just to give them more time since the "this generaion" understanding expired and showed them to be false prophets. The change to GB only the F&DS was just to give them more power & authority over the JW's.

  Maybe something more minor. They could do a change where new JW's just have to do door-to-door tract work. This would make it easier for those where speaking d2d may hinder. More experienced publisher can continue the door knocking and engaging people. They also may ease up somewhat on higher education as to outsiders this makes them look more bat-shit crazy then any of their doctrine beliefs.

  the fact i struggled so hard to NOT say anything or DO anything says more about me.

  But you DID say something. That says more about you. That young man was 19 years old. Eventually, he will see TTATT and leave, thus opening up a whole new world and possibilities to him.

  District Convention

  by thedog1 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  don't know if this has been covered before, but who noticed that at every talk at the district convention (mine anyway), every speaker was introduced by name and then 'brother x has been serving for 25 years as a pioneer" or "he has served on the branch committee" etc etc.. what is it with these credentials?

  i've been an elder on and off for most of the last twenty years.

  big deal.

  The JW's always have to put somebody in a class, catagory & status.

  Anointed or other sheep

  Man, woman, boy or girl

  Baptized or not

  Publisher or not

  Regular publisher, irregular publisher or inactive

  Special Pioneer, Regular Pioneer, Auxilary Pioneer

  Good Standing, Disfellowshipped, Disassociated

  Congregation priviliges or not

  Elder, Ministerial Servant or not

  COBE, Service Overseer, Watchtower Conductor, TMS Overseer, Accounts Overseer

  You can go on and on and on the class, catagory & status the JW's will break you down into. Ridiculous cult.

  JW.Org is the modern day idol and the GB are the high priests of the JW religion. Their God is The Organization.

  Eight questions about Nathan Knorr

  by Skimmer in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i have some questions about nathan knorr, the third president (1942-1977) of the wtbts.

  accurate answers are welcome.. 1) how did it come about that knorr was made president of the wtbts in 1942 after the death of joseph rutherford?

  rutherford as we know was an usurper inheritor of russell's wtbts in late 1916 after russell went to his reward.

  .....do you realise that not one of the Watchtower presidents has had a normal sex life (or any sex life!)

  .

  It was amazing to be to find out how weird and dysfunctional the first 4 Presidents of the Watchtower Society were. Not a one had anything resembling a normal married life that could be an example to others.

  1. Russell 2. Rutherford 3. Knorr 4. Fanz were all weirdos with bat-shit crazy beliefs. NO WAY Jesus choose the JW religion in 1919 to be the true religion and God's Channel.

  Sole CHANNEL of communication?

  by Batman89 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  has the gb ever explained exactly how they supposedly communicate with god and get new light or other "inspiration" for their "spiritual dog food"?.

  do they all sit in a room together and hold hands and join one conciousness??.

  do they fall asleep and go to the dream world and talk to jehovah there like the movie inception or something??.
