is this supposed to placate the ones who have been recently fired?
is this a sign of the aging jw leadership?
I didn't watch the whole stupid thing. I was disgusted the minute I saw Rodney Thompson. This guy was a dick. When he was here in Florida he pranced across the stage at assemblies like a king holding court.
I recall his crusade against one of the assembly hall overseers. He had a real vendetta going, but didn't realize that the guy he wanted to unseat had more clout than he did. Hah! What a jerk.

recently shared this with me.. they compared the tiredness they felt after attending an assembly and meetings, and noted how much worse it was than actually working and studying hard for hours for their secular employment!
why were they so exhausted after an assembly/meeting?
no, it wasn't satan.
I always wondered about the indoor air quality of those facilities after being packed for a days long program. The management always kept the AC at a barely tepid temperature to save money, whether it was them or the Crooklyn folks I don't know. Are those facilities HVAC systems made for all day long use or just a few hours?
How many folks get sick after attending 3-5 days all day long jammed in like cattle?
this is how you force good talent to be used for bad things.
specially considering his young age.. http://www.dallasnews.com/news/community-news/northwest-dallas-county/headlines/20150915-irving-ninth-grader-arrested-after-taking-homemade-clock-to-school.ece.
If the teachers examined the device as the article seems to indicate, they would have clearly seen that there were no explosives. I offer dumbrellas to the students, it's getting awfully dumb out there. If there was some real concern why didn't the first teacher take it for safe keeping with a promise to return it later?
Have they wrecked this kids future with an arrest? What a way to stifle creativity.
Like the Jack Daniels bottle in the background on the left.
It must have been the spirits that "moved" him.
matthew 24:45-47: who really is the faithful and discreet slave whom his master appointed over his domestics, to give them their food at the proper time?
happy is that slave if his master on arriving finds him doing so.
truly i say to you, he will appoint him over all his belongings.".
The dubs have built an entire belief system along with a hierarchy to enforce it based on this one scripture. I could never understand this scripture as applied when I was a dub.
i took a quick trip to the store and i happened to see a young man (about 26-28 years old) who got baptized about the same time i was leaving- about 2 years ago.
a couple of pioneer sisters found him in the door to door work.
one of them, a very attractive girl.
Does she have to be 40-50 years of age and do they need to know each other for 10 or 20 years? I know several that have done that and are now in their 60s and still single.
Witnesses are a gossipy bunch. They're like chickens, find a little flaw and they'll peck you to death. So regardless of the circumstances some dub will find something to complain about or find fault with. They'll have the back room setup before the sun sets.
very weird article, you can read it here if you can tolerate such nonsense:.

basically teddy was a super, duper spiritual giant who went undercover behind the iron curtain, sorta james bond like.
i've been searching both the forum and on-line and can't seem to find what i need.
