  Thank you Inkvid. I have to admit the last video brought tears to my eyes. It truly is a cult. When all the evidence is put together in the form of that video and the emotion evoked by Pink Floyd's great talent was very moving for me. Thanks again. Well done.

  Music is great. You sound more like Bowie than anyone else. The lyrics are convoluted and obscure in my opinion. Mybe put the lyrics in the description or the video?

  I am assuming that this lounge resting was an effort to affect the "bosom position". At meals the one who was most loved and closest was to recline next to the host, they all sort of leaned on one another as they all reclined while eating and the one next to the host was in the "bosom position". I can see nutty Charlie trying to act this out. That couch was referred to as a "fainting couch".

  What ya think Terry?

  (Novel is coming along. My eyes aren't so great but I'm working on it.)

  Today's WT study (10/12/14) - a sales seminar!

  by OneEyedJoe in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  this cult is getting really shameless.

  the wt study was always supposed to be for discussion of 'the deep truths' of the bible.

  the wt may have always been filled with utter nonsense, but at least it had the appearance of a topical discussion of bible doctrine.

  The attendance at the Sunday meeting has always been higher. So its reasonable for the "Members only WT" to address the "ease" of preaching now to get them back in the "fields ripe for harvesting!" lol So now you see the sales meeting on Sunday here and there I suppose.

  Do you suffer from WELTSCHMERZ?

  by yadda yadda 2 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  definition of weltschmerz1: mental depression or apathy caused by comparison of the actual state of the world with an ideal state 2: a mood of sentimental sadness.

  as a jw, horrific news and reports of terrible suffering and tragedy never especially shocked or disturbed me because of the conviction i had that it was all temporary suffering caused by satan and the demons and it was soon to end and be replaced by a wonderful new system where all those who suffered and died would be resurrected.

  it took the edge off life's harshness.. these fantastical beliefs innoculated me against really feeling and empathisizing with the reality of the horror and suffering experienced by so many in this world.

  Somewhere, somehow someone dropped an egg when they were going to make an omellette. I can't do anything about that so I refuse to cry about it. Now if I were there and could have caught it that might be different. So in this life we are able to effect things physically in about a two foot radius. We can join movements with others and work for change of course. The reality is we are too limited to take it all to heart. Survival is our prime directive. It sounds self absorbed but we cannot be anything else when it comes to our well being. Even your tears are for your benefit, they do nothing for others. Join a food bank and collect food for the homeless or get over this feeling of "compassion" attatched to non action. It is a bit hollow. I respect you yada, its just this is the reality that can be difficult to grasp. Too much crying and no action. That is what the JW's are all about, "let them, (the world) suffer" and feel little to nothing except verificaton that you are right and everyone else is wrong and wait for Jah to fix it. There is the abdication of responsibility. That brings greater guilt in my mind.

  There is nothing about the human body that indicates further consciousness after death and decay of tissue. The brain constructs the mind which constructs the person. Switch off, no more you. So other than that its all desperation setting in and a cool fantasy to endure a lifelong entropic journey to our basic building blocks.

  The GB has often pointed out how the actions of a few can cause a witness to many ie: the Children in india in the 90's who refused to sing the national anthem resulting in an article in the national newspaper about JW's. This seemed good enough for them that the "Kingdom was being preached to the inhabited earth." This event fulfilled the prophecy for the billions in Inda, well done kids!

  *** w88 2/1 p. 20 par. 18 Will You Be a Witness for the True God? ***
  The same newspaper also observed: “These children refused to sing the National Anthem because Jehovah’s Witnesses consider themselves to be Christians and devoted entirely to the Kingdom of God. . . . They therefore do not participate in any of the political activity of the State.” Also, The Telegraph of Calcutta reported: “The schoolchildren’s action has also brought into the limelight . . . Jehovah’s Witnesses, which had remained largely obscure in our country till recently.” Yes, ‘this good news of the kingdom will be preached for a witness to all the nations’ before the end comes.

  Nevermind that the literacy rate in India was barely 38% at the time. Morons.
