  a dutch saying is "am i that smart or are you so stupid".. watching this jw.org movie about god's name made me use it: .

  jw broadcasting june 2015, 15 seconds cut.. geoffrey jackson is proud that jw.org is using god's name.. then he convinced that jw.org does not know exactly what god's name is.. then he convinced that jw.org uses the name jehovah because it's most common recognized in english.. is this reasonable, asks geoffrey... yes!

  the manipulative use of language by the org in the upcoming circuit assembly talks is as good - or better - than any advertising conglomerate could devise.

  the mind-shaping wording is clearly used in order to deter critical thinking by the sheep.. face bad reports as jesus did (9 min.

  note to the speaker: explain why spiritually mature people do not become ashamed of the good news or dismayed when faced with negative propaganda.

  i walked to the station yesterday to meet a friend, and on the way, in what must be the quietest street in the entire suburb, were two j.witnesses and their little cart, all set with a literature display.

  Do ,Can,Wil,the G.B. today give a timeline of events that will happen before the Great tribulation ? Armageddon ?

  by smiddy in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  in times past they had no problem giving such a timeline such as the green book dealing with daniels prophecy concerning the last days.

  .

  "your will be done on earth" that is obviously thrown on the scrap heap nowadays .. any lurkers should just read it to see how uninspired the gb/wt really is ..

  by doubtfull1799 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  it was recently brought to my attention by the person who was with me on the carts at the time, that a comment i made six months ago about the cart work on this forum was incorrect.

  i apologise and in the interests of honesty and accuracy i feel it is only right to issue a public retraction.

  i have quoted the post in question below as i am not sure how to correct or delete the original.
