  I used to read Peanuts. I hated that Lucy! I had a few of them in my child hood-teachers pets too.

  So with the end 'so-close' why are they trawling all this capital in buildings and cash?.

  What the hell are they going to spend it on.?

  If some other big countries sell up their US Bonds as they well may do the US $ wont be worth peanuts. Then what?. They will have the majority of their followers, unhoused, unemployed and in a terrible situation. So are they grabbing it all now because it wont be there soon? To what end? There is an old expression about death and money; "You cant take it with you." and dying the wts in its present incarnation most certainly is. There is no additional Jesus to come and die for them and their old way and give them a new way. They have rejected the coming of the Christ as the gb/wts has taken his position.

  The wts is frequently quoting the old testament (when they are not knocking King David or quoting Paul) and like the Pharisees they live in splendour and have their own made traditions that they impose on others and like the princes of that era who were eventually hammered by Rome they too will face there own day of destruction.

  What did Jesus say; "No man knows the hour nor the day".. and feed the orphans, house the widows and the poor etc He didnt say take pledges from the ill-educated the underemployed the low paid and build yourselves mansions.

  New "theocratic history" book for witnesses?

  by stuckinarut2 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  so i have heard a few of us talking about a newly released book to replace or add to the proclaimers book?.

  is that correct?.

  if so, i wonder how much they have re-written history to cover the real truths?.

  In a word.. NO. They can never admit when they have been WRONG.when time proves them wrong they cover it over with some shuffle speech. (Take the 1975 fiasco of people selling up and being applauded for it)

  What pushed them all the years to make all the predictions? Only their own ego and a desire to 'look into things' but coming from their occult background pyramidology, wings of Horus on a publication and a few kh etc, isnt surprising.

  and they have never been able to see that all the worlds peoples are not urban living Americans. One size does not fit all.

  How to find joy in the ministry, according to one elder

  by ohnightdivine in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  he said that having a goal is the most important, since we do not want to waste our time and become depressed when going out in the ministry.. and what else could be better than setting a goal to, say, distribute xx number of magazines during that day?!.

  in this way we could feel contented and joyful in service.. .

  how profound!

  So you 'place' magazines with anyone even if you just know they will bin them just for the sake of numbers.

  clericalismcareerismabuse of powera culture of secrecya culture that is determined to avoid scandalas being some of the roots of ongoing child sex abuse in religion (and the cover ups).

  Why the Clean out of top Management

  by Poztate in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  it has been commented here that "soon" the do's will be history.

  the co level will be "retired" at age 70 and the latest development was that the cobe can not serve after age 80. it would seem that there is a "cull" of top management.

  in secular companys that would signal a radical change of directions ???.

  does this get rid of the GB?

  I feel the entire wts is beyond any redemption.

  Shut it down sell it up and disperse the funds less taxes to the victims of abuse.

  Human Rights -ignored often, not far reaching enough, more than often.

  by Phizzy in

  1. social
  2. current

  human rights are clearly laid out in a number of places, and are upheld by legislation in many nations, and yet they are ignored, or when they are invoked, do not go far enough.. this is a sad state of affairs in the 21st century.. human rights are simply trodden in to the ground where we have war, where we have totalitarian regimes, and where we have ignorant clerics who rule.. even in enlightened countries that broadly accept the principles of human rights, they often are not given the priority they should receive.. take freedom of religion for example, this right should enshrine the right to freedom from religion.

  the fact that we in the u.k, canada the u.s.a, europe etc etc are unable to really be free of the wt/jw religion if we wish to choose to do so shows this right is unenforceable at present.. the same with the right to family life, the jw/wt cult is allowed to ride roughshod over this basic human right.. it is time their power, and the power of religion in general, was reigned in, and they be made to respect human rights fully..
