Blondie makes an excellent point, as usual.

JWs aren't the only crazy ones...
by ilikecheese inhere's a lovely idea i heard from an evangelical preacher lately.
he said that any mother who works when it isn't financially necessary is "serving the devil.
" i think i remember that verse.

Latest WT lesson typical example of why meetings are such downers
by JimmyPage inhere's what i gathered from the most recent wt study: 1. all your problems are your own fault, or 2. the ones that aren't your fault are satan's fault.
3. don't blame jehovah for anything, and 4. more importantly, never criticize the ones who claim to represent jehovah.. this is a typical meeting nowadays.
there are all kinds of possibilities to emphasize positive qualities and experiences.

Sounds so depressing to me. I went to visit twice in September, to see how the reaction was to the July Watchtower. The mood was so somber and oppressive, I could not wait to get out of there. The meetings were never really that enjoyable for us, but I could feel the heavy presence of evil in the room now. Unlike years past, NO ONE greeted us or spoke to us. We were dressed for the part, and we (at that time) were even carrying the JW bible and song book. Combine this with the fact that every time they use the word "Jehovah," they are actually referring to themselves, makes this one of the most disturbing organizations that exists in the developed world. It disguises itself as a religion. What could be more nefarious? I look forward to the day that my family wakes us and leaves this satanic cult.

They want to distract you with obsolete trivia, so you don't notice what they are NOT discussing... Jesus!

I noticed this at the end of your notes, although my mother told me there were no changes made to any meaning of scripture. Which is it??
There will be many scriptures that have a whole new meaning, and we will be discovering these for a long time to come. Scriptures like John 17:3 may open some people's eyes about the action they need to take.
Old version of NWT at John 17:3 says:
“. 3 This means everlasting life, their taking in knowledge of you, the only true God, and of the one whom you sent forth, Jesus Christ.”
What does the New version say? (download won't work for me yet)
What action are they referring to, in regard to this particular scripture?

Mark Sanderson - Why Is the Newest GB Member Suddenly So Prominent?
by Oubliette ini've noticed something that is very odd even by wt/gb standards.
why is mark sanderson suddenly so prominent in all things wt/jw?.
others have commented on the obvious narcissism of the gb pushing themselves to the fore recently, in particular after their huge doctrinal change at proclaiming themselves and only themselves as the faithful and discreet slave.. this is clearly true as evidenced at the agm, not only throughout the agm, but also in the video that was featured as part of that meeting.

Now that I think of it, I sorta wish I had left my magazine under the chair, so someone there could have seen all my notes in the margins. Oh well, spilled milk...

regarding the full page ad, featuring him in the july 15 watchtower magazine... I also noticed this, along with the fact that they were introducing a possible rapture for the annointed. While we were enduring the meeting at the local KH, I couldnt help myself... I drew hearts all around his picture. Something about him, made me just want to love this guy! underneath the photo, I wrote, "he wants to be raptured!"
