Back Stabbing Sneaky Letters
by FairMind ini was reading the accounts and the reactions to minimus?
elder friend that was deleted because of a wts secret letter to the circuit overseers.
secret letters of this nature are part of what has led to my critical thinking regarding the wts.

Sunday's WT Study Article (May 18)
by FairMind inthis sundays watchtower lesson is titled who is wise and understanding among you?.
its mostly a rehash of past material concerning the need to be cooperative with fellow christians for the peace of the congregation.
however, i suspect that whole point of this study article is actually contained in paragraph 14 where it talks about elders who might be removed from their position if they are deemed by the body and the co as no longer meeting the scriptural qualifications laid out for the position.

Thanking Jehovah through His organization
by FairMind inat the conclusion of the last day of our district convention just before the closing prayer the speaker (a member of the gb) said that we should give thanks to jehovah through his organization for all the wonderful things he had provided.
this comment floored me, as thanks to god is only to be given through his son jesus christ.
do you think the speakers comment was simply a slip of tongue or was he really putting the organization ahead of god's son in importance?

Higher Education / Double Speak
by FairMind inas we all know several years ago the wts seemingly changed their stance on one going on to college and furthering their education.
it was acknowledged that "times have changed" and the ability to secure employment at a living wage might actually require a college degree.
in any event going to college supposedly became a conscience matter and no one had the right to question a jw who made the decision to further his/her education.

Captives of a Concept Book
by FairMind inrecently on this website i learned of a book entitled "captives of a concept" and there was a link to a website where it could be purchased.
i purchased this book ($5.00 for a down load in pdf format) and have completed 128 of the 148 pages.
this is a fantastic book and i recommend it to all who want validation that the society is not god's organization.. the concept of course that holds all jw's captive is that those of the professed anointed (really the gb) comprise the faithful and discreet slave of jesus' illustration.
