  Interesting post - thanks, and I was bored with writing code..

  Found this paragraph of note...

  I rejoiced to shout "Aye" to the resolution "Declaration Against Satan and for Jehovah

  Amazing to remember brothers and sisters who recalled screaming "Aye" to these resolutions, as if the heavens were being moved by the "Judge's" resolutions and proclaimations. And to take this subject even one step further; later identifying these reolutions as the bowls from Revelation being poured out. Trully friggin delusional - amazing!

  It was tough for many brothers and sisters to stay sober the extra night. No sauce, or just a few mickeys before a meeting was a burden. The good news, now there is an extra night to swill down the port wine and beers, and thank the god of the FDS for benevolence.

  Armageddon Postponed

  ...apparently armageddon is not expected before january 2009. otherwise, there'd be no need to plan the change in the bible study so far in advance.

  Between the denials and the lies, the FDS couldn't make it through a discussion with Job's 3 "friends", never mind the GT, or the Big A. They have prepared their sheep to be judgemental, mean, and abusive people, who barely can recite the fruits of the spirit, never mind live them. These people can't live together 5 hours a week, never mind together through eternity. By the way, who the hell would want to live with them and their rules, fears, and moronic interpretations. Their elders believe they will be princes, and rule the New World. What a friggin joke! Their elders couldn't find their asses with 2 hands and a map.

  Reason for the 8-Month Announcement

  by doinmypart in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the question has been raised, "why was the announcement about the congregation bible study announced 8 months before implementation?".

  i believe it is simply a matter of how the wts plans things.

  the theocratic ministry school schedule comes out in the october km.

  They all need a large dose of suppositories, 5 times a day for at least a week. After that, a long time in nature without dictates, demands, and mandates. Some would die without the guilt trip, some would live; let the chips fall.

  Let's predict what the WTS will cut next

  by unbrainwashed in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  it looks like there is a pattern of a major cutback every year or so for the past several years.

  from soft cover binding, no more subscriptions, 30 min public talks, members only wt magazine, book study meeting elimination.

  maybe i missed some others.

  With all the lawsuits coming, they'll be giving a class at Bethel on how to do circumcisions. They will certify Bethelites to do the 8th day cuts for money, and will charge rent for the "honor" of being called a "Bethelite". Probably 3 or 4 cuts a week will pay for a shared room. An extra cut or two for the grub. So that makes 5 or 6 cuts a week for room and board. Hell, circumcisions usually include shots of liquor, so some of the brothers might make out well for their cut.

  The Watchtower----A Book Publishing Company???

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  sure they publish books and they used to do that quite a bit.

  but now, i wouldn't primarily call it a "book publishing company".

  they charge nothing for the literature.

  WT BOOKS - Clean out the literature room at the KH

  by Alligator Wisdom in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  for those who are still active and have access in obtaining literature from the kingdom hall, would you do this?.

  to just give away literature, especially books, from the literature desk to force printing.. in giving away literature, especially the costlier books than magazines, it will force the wts to print more and use up assets.

  just give these books away at the doors.

  I agree with throwing away their crap that has already been published, but why cut more trees. The literature costs will not deplete their assets, the lawsuits will. So instead of encouraging mass production and destruction, encourage all those who have been affected by pedophiles to start lawsuits, as well as encourage everyone not to attend any meetings, and continue to bad mouth the liars and false prophets.
