  What Was Your First Experience In Exposing Yourself To "Apostasy"?

  by minimus in

  as a young teenager, i would look at "apostate" books at the city library.

  i was always intrigued as to what was sooo bad and other than a few writings of some that seemed like they hated the witnesses, i would clandestinely look at literature, especially in "christian" bookstores.. it took years for me to finally disconnect.

  i will say that ray franz' books enlightened me the most!.

  I don't use their word that plays their game for them and that reinforces or insinuates a degeneracy.

  People who stand up against a wall of lies are truthseekers. JWs are lie followers and those who stand up against those lies are truthseekers.

  Very simple.

  The Revamped Organization

  with the release of the new bible, i can pretty much say that the wt religion is no longer the same religion that i left 17 years ago.

  it's bizarre.

  they have a different bible, a different song book, a different "youth" book, a different "great teacher" book, and the "live forever" book is gone.

  "Maybe the literature IS the new world! Look at me, I just figured out some new light! :)"

  Song 14 - All Things Made New (piano)

  Rejoice! For God's tent is with men,
  And he himself resides with them.
  No more will there be pain or crying,
  No sorrowing nor any dying;
  For God has said: 'I'm making all books and magazines and tracts and pamphlets and real estate investments new.'
  These words faithful are and true.

  "- Allowing elderly & sick to be counted as publisher for 15 minutes each month

  - Allowing BOTH parents to count four hours each month for family study

  - Dropping the aux. pioneer hours to 30, plus a lot of pressure to peak during memorial month."

  Quantitative findings.

  Is Richard Dawkins an ostentatious acrimonious supercilious pusillanimous calumnious censorious vituperative querulous embittered obsessive and bombastic bully?

  by slimboyfat in

  richard dawkins closes down his free-thinking/free-thought site (www.richarddawkins.net) for 30 days to reconfigure it 'because too many morons were contributing drivel' (he doesn't put it quite like that!

  ) he is then surprised because those self-same contributors call him everything under the sun (i won't repeat the names flung at him on our ultra -refined boards).

  he now wants the site more or less 'peer-reviewed' (by analogy with papers to learned/scientific journals having to be vetted by vips).

  if you had the pleasure of hearing the watchtower today what a good way to cover their tracks right after the am!

  so if their is any doubts they will scare it out of the rank and file!

  i have to give it to them they did their best to plan this out along with all the new light i guess it was to trya and stop the internal bleeding.

  "The Governing Body may actually BECOME Jehovah in the long run....simply by repetition and LINKING."

  (Manifestly)

  The question is of time scale. They would need some core of n*20yr generations to die off (and STFU about how things used to be) before they can roll out new convergences of some scripture they found or construed and their own earthly divinity, that they have just received new light upon, from themselves.

  Ooooooo: Recommend "By His Bootstraps", a short story by Robert Heinlein.

  Primary claim: A bunker's worth of coteries, courtiers, fawners and sychophants will stick by the GB beyond this century.

  Secondary claim: Watch the number of GB go down in scale with the JW population.

  First order term of my prediction: field strength of Stockholm cocktail of binding energy that keeps non-stupid people* bound to a cult _VS_ field strength of the lure of forbidden mouse clicks.

  Turnover point in graph: Something on the order of enforced multi-layer multi-redundant social networks that triangulate and checkmate every last detail of a person's life would be minimum conditions to break through the last binding energy of the inner layer of the Outer Party. (Philosophically I am utterly against such an enforcement.)

  I invite my own failed prediction. May the odds be ever in favor of yours.

  *"conscious class"? I don't know its usage.

  "God's Word Is Beneficial..." 2013/14 Circuit Assembly "Highlights"

  by 88JM in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  just had the circuit assembly this weekend here:.

  surprisingly not much fuss over the new bible considering that this was the first meeting for most here to use it (the annual meeting was "invite only" for a select few here, and there was no thursday meeting because of this assembly) and having a new bible was only referred to fairly briefly in a comment about how "wonderful" it is (and in the closing prayer).

  i think i was the only one there with an old maroon nwt - i got a confused look from one of the elders - haha!

  IF he held up a can of SPAM, it is a deliberate, premeditated, knowing insult, flaunting the platform's power to dispense low-grade recycled crap as spiritual food, and a direct attack on individual human dignity in the guise of trench humor. He is not in the trenches with anyone. And SPAM better not be a metaphor, and certainly is not an illustration, and cannot be a composite sign, and isn't doing anything good invisibly, and is not proper food at any time, and so what was the speaker's purpose in slapping the audience across the face with >>such a product + in such a context<<<? What is that audience, that took that slap on the face and kept sitting, compose of?

  Clearly, it does not belong to man who is walking even to direct his step.
  
  TWS cannot claim martyrship. These buildings once gentrified will stand testament to what TWS is actually about, sales. And outdoor roof space is the opposition of windowless KHS.
