Gerrit Loesch was at our DC today!
by goatshapeddemon inso, unexpectedly, the final talk was announced today and to my surprise and evil glee, they announced gerrit loesch as the speaker!
first off, at the beginning of his talk, he interrupted himself in the middle of his sentence to scold the microphone brother to lower my mike it's right in my face.. anyway, it was the talk on inspired truth, vs. inspired falsehoods.
he went through 6 expressions inspired by the demons.

How an old man envisions no more 1914 that everyone swallows
by sosoconfused inso my dad and i went fishing and we got to talking about russell and his demotion.
now my father admits that this change in doctrine screws everything up.
now i am sure someone here may have thought about this but he says, "well if russell is not inspired and that means 1914 is no go the next available date would be 1935 as a keystone for everything.. if they finally recognize secular sources and point to 586 or 587 they can now say that jesus began ruiling in 1933 or 34 and selected rutherford at that time.

whats in your heart?
by new hope and happiness inwhy was the ministry so much arguing over who our perception of god was?..
when we were witnessing we could thank jehover for the trinity...but now i think the trinity is what jehovers witnesses like to discuss as it avoids stops any talk on real understanding.....because our god is different and right we could always fall back on the trinity.. .

This Relatively New Governing Body @ Bethel Not Liked By Bethelites Even the Ass Kissers
by frankiespeakin inwhen i was a bethelite back many years ago(1970's), a lot of bethelites would say negative things about knorr, kline, and other members of the gb in private conversation.
there was at that time more freedom to express these things without feeling too threatened, which i feel is no longer the case.. now we have a completely new governing body all appointed after 1999 except for losch(1994).
since that time we have seen a steady increase in authoritarianism from this self proclaimed august body, where no descension or voicing a negative opinon with reguards to the governing body is allowed.
