hello dear friends.... well..the saga continues!!
as many of you know last new years the jws attacked our "frosty" and egged our home.
" the co said, "so you are both not willing to meet with the elders..?".
i tell this type of story to my regular church going friends and they cant believe the sheer craziness of these guys. i just dont know how i would react personally. i dont think my language would have stayed clean, thereby providing them justification for their actions.
i wish i could relate the stories and experiences ive had over the years with these psychos, but the circumstances are so unique my identity would be given away.

the tower of babel was a ziggurat. that is not a ziggurat.
besides, none of that babylon crap even happened, so what difference does it make if they base their building on a dutch masters incorrect interpretation of what a building in a fairy tale looked like?
it may be coincidence, but i noticed that both the annual meeting and a recently reported bethel speaker brought up the matter of the.
watchtower's false predictions, a bit more openly than usual.
a potentially dangerous perception may be emerging ( hooray!).
if you acknowledge your opponents point of attack, that is, their failed ideas and predictions, it blunts the force of it. it disempowers its effectiveness. the few who would have apostate leanings that would be stimulated to leave by these talks is far outweighed by those whose wavering faith is assuaged by them. it is a calculated risk on their part.
it's utterly amazing that the society has bamboozled publishers into thinking that all of its cutbacks.
are somehow not related to a lack of donations.. perhaps this will be tested in the next few years as gasoline, food, and other essentials go way.

You know how much ive donated in the past 30+ years of being a witness? 5 bucks. That's it.
No joke.

R.F.; I cant remember where i read it, maybe a second hand quote from some higher-up in the ORG, but iread that they PREFER ex-military due to their training to be compliant with authority. i believe this to be true.

i also dont think that having a seperate authority structure, i.e. the GB, constantly interfering in lives of their followers allows a healthy father/son relationship to develop.
i cant help but wonder what could have been had he not chosen the path that he did. a doctor once offered to pay his way through med school if he would like. this, of course, was turned down. now hes busting his ass with no end in sight, worn out from all the hard physical and emotional labor over the course of his life.
