  The 9/8 Awake - Well Crafted Deception!

  by metatron in

  the sept. 8, 03 awake contains an article about a disaster in ecuador.. on page 14 it says, regarding witness volunteer efforts, "by saturday evening,.

  approximately 200 volunteers from local congregations had sealed the windows of 91. witness homes.

  many non-witnesses also benefited.

  Thank you for this thread!

  After reading the article and the verse it's WAY too obvious what the WTS is Spin Doctoring! The best way to avoid bad press is to highlight good press (yes, this is what I do in the real world) and focus on all the great and wonderful things. Yet as I've been taught by the military (some of the best S.Doctor's around) the flip side to that is you have to acknowledge the wrong doings as soon as you can. "Yes we did something wrong - we're doing this to ensure it doesn't happen again - now we're doing 10 times the amount of public / community relations so 'you'll' forget about it" Well, the course was much longer than that and much more detailed.

  Don't let them get away with it and keep bringing out their lies.

  I never REALLY thought I had a 'problem' until TODAY

  Your Existing Situation

  Working to improve her image in the eyes of others in order to obtain their compliance and agreement with her needs and wishes.

  Your Stress Sources

  Wishes to be independent, unhampered, and free from any limitation or restriction, other than those which she imposes of herself or by her own choice and decision.

  Your Restrained Characteristics

  Willing to participate and to allow herself to become involved, but tries to fend off conflict and disturbance in order to reduce tension.

  Wants to broaden her fields of activity and insists that her hopes and ideas are realistic. Distressed by the fear that she may be prevented from doing what she wants; needs both peaceful conditions and quiet reassurance to restore her confidence. Able to achieve satisfaction through sexual activity.

  Your Desired Objective

  Desires a tranquil, peaceful state of harmony offering quiet contentment and a sense of belonging.

  Your Actual Problem

  Does not wish to be involved in differences of opinion, contention or argument, preferring to be left in peace.

  A Sad Note

  just discovered today that a woman named melissa died last week.

  she worked at the village pantry c-store next door to the mission where i am staying.. apparently the next door neighbor broke into her house, raped her, tortured her for at least 2-3 hrs, then stabbed her 57 times and then slit her throat.. i was shocked to find this out this afternoon as i was getting ready to wait on the bus (i'm posting now at the radio shack store where i quickly check on my email and take a quick peek at the forum.).

  the girl was only 22 years old.. the cops knows who did this and they're looking for him.

  I'm glad you went! I'm sure it helped her family knowing she was a light in other peoples eyes. Mourn and get well, make sure no one forgets her name.

  The Preaching Work Is A Scam

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i'd like to know what you think of the "all important, life saving preaching work".

  even if this preaching was considered a success, it would not be able to save the billions of people on this earth.

  recently, my mother told me how she believe that jehovah god is patiently keeping the door open, since every year, new ones come into the "truth".

  But IF Jesus went door to door - what would he be driving - a BMW with WWJD on the license plate? AND if he went door to door WOULD he be handing out literature - NO because the majority of the people at that time were illeterate (& apparently can't spell). GIVE ME A BREAK! I get this one too and it doesn't hold water. HOW is it they can pick some things out and hold that up to 'Biblical' standards and not others. If Jesus had internet access he would send out his info from home via share or freeware.

  we have all read many posts here as to how women felt they had to be submissive in the organization.

  how would you like to be a member of first christian fellowship for eternal sovereignty?

  ravenna, ohio - a woman pulled over for breast-feeding her baby while driving on the ohio turnpike was shown on videotape at her trial wednesday refusing to cooperate with troopers until she called her husband for permission.. catherine nicole donkers, 29, also would not stand or speak as she defended herself in portage county municipal court until her husband gave her permission from the first row of the audience.. the first day ended with donkers finishing her questioning of the trooper.
