Simon, thank goodness I'm not the only one to see the similarities between the dome series and the Simpson's Movie. So far the Simpson's movie is more engaging. Cows cleaved in half was fun though.

Under The Dome
by KariOtt inafter watching the first 2 epsoides and looking foward to the rest i was thinking that a dome needs to be put over every kingdom hall on sunday morrning.
that way we could be rid of a large chunk of them and those who missed the meeting could see that its a false church.
wishful thinking i know but i can't help it..

I cannot subscribe to any man run dogma factory. I have my own religion and it involves the proper use of a Snickers Bar.

Yet Another secretly recorded Judicial Meeting for you...
by RayPublisher inyet another secretly recorded judicial committee hearing...the hero of this story is rachel... this brave and funny kiwi lady stands up to the local elders and goes through this scary situation with grace and logic and so much class!.
bravo to her husband who comes along to support her and her goal is to awaken and perhaps reach the hearts of these men that are poised to spiritually execute her.
this goes right against the false label applied to so-called apostates by the wt society that they are insincere, slanderous people out to hurt the faith of others.. listen to the story unfold as rachel boldly shares her research and her conscience with these men.

What evidence is there for the miracles of the Bible OUTSIDE of the Bible?
by punkofnice inok. this is something i've wondered about.. people of certain religions tend to use their own holy book as evidence for things in itself.
this seems very circular to me.
using the book to prove the book in my view is pointless.. i am not aware of any of the 'miracles' of the bible or the quran as having any substantial evidence outside of themselves to give credibility to the books themselves.. has anyone come across such evidence?.

A new lesson from Caleb's mom...
by cedars in...totally freak out and drop something if your child fails to say "please.".
http://www.jw.org/en/bible-teachings/family/children/become-jehovahs-friend/videos/please-thank-you/.
the woman is clearly a nervous wreck, and very easily offended.. if this is her reaction to caleb forgetting his manners, i shudder to think how she will cope if she ever finds him doing drugs.. .

When a "sister" reacts like that its because she can't handle the pressures of being a Theocratic wife. Dress the kids, throw them in the car, make sure they have thier magazine and books highlighted properly, make dinnner, pioneer, and orally please her elder husband and live with the guilt of that. Of course she will snap at little Caleb, she's a wreck.

Anyone who's seen 'Man of Steel', can we talk about SPOILER-related stuff?

GB not recognized as such till 1944, is this the cutoff for F&DS?
by Wasanelder Once inok so this is from the w71 12/15 p. 757 a governing body as different from a legal corporation.
governing body.
according to the apostolic example of the first century c.e., these dedicated, baptized christians known today as jehovahs witnesses have a governing body, as specifically noted from the year 1944 onward.

Ok so this is from the w71 12/15 p. 757 A Governing Body as Different from a Legal Corporation
GOVERNING BODY
According to the apostolic example of the first century C.E., these dedicated, baptized Christians known today as Jehovah’s witnesses have a governing body, as specifically noted from the year 1944 onward. This governing body has through the years been associated with the publishers of the Watch Tower magazine and the Board of Directors of the legal religious corporation now known as Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society of Pennsylvania. According to Pennsylvania law, this corporation must hold annual corporation meetings at its registered offices in Pittsburgh, Pa., or elsewhere as duly voted upon, and must elect directors to fill the vacancies of those whose three-year term of office is expiring, and also to transact all necessary obligations. From among the full board of seven directors, all of whom are dedicated, baptized, spirit-anointed Christians, the officers of the Society must be elected.
Are we to disregard anything taught by the pre-1944 GB as not from the F&DS? Just wondering. Your thoughts?

Awkward moment at the WT study today
by FadeToBlack inwhen we got to paragraphs 10,11 with the reference to the box at the top of the page - is your teaching up-to-date?
the conductor asked for an explanation of what the current 'bible truth' was.
for the first one, 'this generation (matt 24:34) absolutely nobody raised their hand!

I looked at the magazine from yesterdays study and the references and the new July update, no difference, Don't wade into any JW's with this one its a pile of steaming poop. It has been wrongly identified by the person who started this thread. There are plenty of other thoughts that can be raised by this. Such as: The quote in the magazine says there was no FDS until the "presence" began in 1914. SO, is Russell of the FDS before 1914? Can't be. But was he after 1914? If he was afterwards, why did he continue to teach wrong things afterwards, such as 1874 as the presence start? Did Rutherford start the FDS? If so why did he say that the Holy Spirit no longer provided new understandings, angels did? Was he denying the source? How was that direction from the Holy Spirit? Why did he say in regards to the teaching of 1925 as the year for Armageddon, "I made and ass out of my self on that!" if it was a group of men acting as the FDS? And why does his name alone appear as author of the books published if it was a group of men?
Lots to think about.

2014 means "LUCY, you've got some splainin' to do" for Jehovah's Witnesses
by Terry innext year the watchtower society will be forced by world events (i.e.
no armageddon yet) to confront a full century of christ's presence.
with nothing to show for it!.

But Terry, you have missed the point. Russell wasn't one of the Faithful and Discrete Slave Class so nothing he taught matters. End of discussion. All your work means nothing now, talk about taking the wind out of apostate sails! They are freekin geniuses!
