Meetups or Meetings?
by raymond frantz inconscious class : meetups or meetings?.
the current governing body has made sure with their policies that the kingdom halls are not a place to question or debate doctrine .sitting through these long sessions of indoctrination is very frustrating and debilitating for your spirit .that is why many of us turn to online forums ,websites and youtube to fill this void with useful information and association with like minded witnesses that go through the same process like we do .useful as it may be it can never replace the face to face interaction with other like minded ones .the words of paul come to mind in (hebrews10:25):"not forsaking the gathering of ourselves together, as some have the custom, but encouraging one another, and all the more so as you behold the day drawing near.".
having this verse in mind i have been trying for sometime to find a new medium that will give me this face to face interaction .i stumbled upon this great website meetup.com which i would highly recommend as a way to meet other ex or current jehovah's witnesses in your area that share your views .meetup helps people create groups that meet regularly in their area .because it is a a well known website and rank high on google search it is quite easy for others to find your group.

New Light about FDS has nothing to do with theology ?
by raymond frantz insome time ago ,we heard that the watchtower lawyers argued in court in australia that the governing body ,is nothing more than a theological arrangement .this was their "get out of jail" card in the ongoing pedophilia case in australia that could cost potentially loose the society hundrends of millions and make the conti case to pale in insignificance .if this is the case the recent new light might have nothing to do with them consolidating their position ,or drawing attention to themeselves and everything to do with avoiding the blame in upcoming legal cases .look at the wording of the new light ," they are the faithful and discreet slave only when the get togother to take dicisions based in the bible " .that sounds like a theological arrangement to me.
also the recent sale of all new york property and closure of bethels around the world may have nothing to do with money problems and everything to do with moving assets around in an attempt to leave nothing to the authorities to get their hands on in the years to come ....

BREAKING NEWS: Watchtower's Charitable Status UNDER THREAT in Britain !
by raymond frantz inthere is an article today in daily mail one of the largest uk newspapers about the plymouth brethren that should worry every thinking jehovah's witness.. the charities commision in britain is threatening the charitable status of a small offshoot of the aglican church the plymouth brethren .the reason ?
they don't perform enough charitable work for their local community .
at a time where the tax avoidance of large businesses such as google ,ebay,amazon and starbucks is under serious question in britain ,the charities commision's investigation into this little church's charitable status comes as no surprise .the 2006 charities act forced charities, often at high cost, to 'demonstrate' value to society .so far being a christian church automatically exempt you off taxes ,this is not the case anymore .
