Have yu heard of Nancy Drew?
She'd stick a comma-and a period too
Into a poem without much ado
Lower your guard
And she'd apostrophe you
Don't ever punk this punctuation mama
She'd throw you into inverted commas
And if she don't- I warningly fess
Her pardner will -thats Compound Complex

What Exactly are the Governing Body Members of the Jehovah's Witnesses trying to sell themselves As ?
by Finkelstein inthe watchtower corporation has been in existence for over 100 years now, originally headed by presidents and slew of recognized executive directors known as governing body members.. in 1919 the then president of the wts j rutherford proclaimed that god has exclusively chosen him and the wts as its earthly chosen organization among all other christian based faiths.. was this just a calculated self marketing ploy to create validation and to draw attention to the wts published works ?
the gb today still uses the assertion that god is backing this organization with that attaining exclusivity by god, jehovah blesses are work and jehovah had offered this, is constant reiterated in about every talk during most jws meetings.
is this just intentional adverse brainwashing ?

Eat flesh and drink blood !! I've gotta wait for my Draculian canines to kick in.
Can't go to a memorial. Doctor says my memory's faded.
Been to the 9/11 and other war memorials around the country. Guy says I've used up all my memorial passes for the year.
I don't need reminders- thank you - of a bunch of idiots passing around a single glass of wine . In eerie silence. Without touching a drop. But watching it with haunted, stupid, unblinking looks. As if it's gonna grow a vein and flow invisibly from the receptacle to a dumb -dub oracle in a flaming miracle!!.
I've been inoculated- against vampirish tastes!

Do you feel bad throwing away literature?
by stuckinarut2 inso do you feel bad throwing away your old literature?.
what about your old song book or bible from your early days in the org?.
if so, is it because of sentimentality, monetary cost or because it might be 'sacred' ?.

At first I thought of returning the mags. to some KH but then, these bastards will dispense their poison to someone else. So I shredded the lot and sent it into recycle. I have the books which I think I'm gonna burn at the next new year bonfire. They will come in handy in keeping good folks warm and toasty on a winter's night!! -

Magnum,
Sorry about the situation the JW sons of bi***** left you in. But if i may offer some consolation from my own experience in life. Just when you think this is it- you've gotta live your life in near poverty, some avenue opens to rescue you.I hope something comes up soon to get you out of this hopeless fiscal situation that you are in.
As for the rankings of these bandits- I agree with the OP.
Europe set the ball rolling with Catholicism and Protestantism but America has taken it to another level altogether. They've fine tuned this cash-cow to an extent that even the educated and intelligent are suckered in. IMO it's not these thieving lot that need censure but the Bible itself and all jewish teachings past and present. A thorough clinical ripping apart of all jewish and biblical teachings with evidence to reveal the contradictions, lies and deceit contained in them will bring more people to their senses in helping them realize the myth and the madness attached to these stories. By extension it will lead to he demise of Islam too, which is an extension of the insanity begun in and by the OT.
Of course, many have done that already and are continuing the good work but I speak of a major shake-up which will get the whole world's attention and radicalize thinking against all world religions. It is certainly a big job but I continue to hope, someday soon, some genius will put paid to religions!!

The Brahma Kumaris World Spiritual University Cult
by cofty inas an apocalyptic cult the brahma kumaris have some similarities to the watchtower.. they believe that all humans will die during an imminent and desirable end of the world they called destruction, in order that 900,000 faithful brahma kumari followers will inherit a heaven on earth before 2036.. to outsiders, bks refer to this event as a transformation and adherents are led to believe that a heavenly royal status can be achieved after it by donating money, free labor and unquestioning mental submission to the brahma kumari leadership, who will rule the world as emperors and empresses.
the brahma kumaris leadership has sought to cover up or deny child sex abuses at its headquarters, multiple suicides of followers at centers, financial corruption and abuses, immigration abuses, the persecution of minor or breakaway groups and the breaking up of families.. with echos of russell's divine plan of the ages, time, according to the brahma kumaris, is limited to a single, identically repeating, 5,000 year period called, the cycle in which human beings procreated by the power of mind for the first 2,500 years, and will do again from 2036, and the dinosaur period existed at the time of ancient greece.
likewise, in another 2,500 years into the future, brahma kumaris world spiritual university leaders teach that abraham, buddha, christ and mohammed will all be reborn again in order to start to teach, after having re-learnt their religion under them at this time.. the bkwsu leadership continues to financially benefit from their position by encouraging their adherents to a total mental, physical and financial surrender to their god.
