I favor one big rule: No following bibles, torahs, or qurans. Those pieces of literary trash are intended to enslave the whole world, and if followed, provide energy for joke-hova to evict the whole human race and put its reptilians on our earth. Noahide Law is coming soon enough as it is, without having people making big donations of both energy and money to further this eviction process.

Psychological Changes in the Vocabulary of the WTS
by blondie inpsychological changes in the vocabulary of the wts.
i have been reading the publications of the wts since i was 6, 60 years now.
we were too poor to have more than one subscription for each magazine so i had to wait until my mother had read it (she let them pile up).

Sacrificing personal safety just for this global enslavement work? Sounds like another working to increase hardships. First they ballyhoo those who endure hardships to help joke-hova to enslave the whole earth. And now they are shaming those who try to reduce the impact of such hardships, whether by moving where persecution is less or holding onto a decent job. All to put energy into global enslavement, so the reptilians can move onto our planet sooner (they have more than plenty already, as is).
Unnecessary rules? What about one rule that is to stop people from putting even more energy into this global enslavement program? Do not abide by that stupid bible at all. This means no attending boasting sessions, no more forgiving everyone without a basis for it (and this applies to those who intentionally do things to ruin your life, not just those who do something stupid), no more preaching that book, no more making sacrifices to that evil god that wants to cut us off from all spirituality, no more nothing. We are in for Noahide Law soon enough as is. Why feed it even more? Makes as much sense as stepping on the gas to try and stop, instead of the brakes.

Adultery? Why? It is not adultery if you are divorced, and the other party is also single or divorced. I would simply go ahead, and if the hounders give you a hard time, you should stop going to boasting sessions, doing any field circus, or donating anything to joke-hova. Either they leave you alone about this, or they won't get anything at all.
And, now might be a good time for you to start learning a foreign language that is hard for the hounders to find anyone that understands. That way, you can use that language in any hearing to gather information, so they are not getting any.

Emergency 'grab bag' campaign accused of scaremongering
by pleaseresearch ina police campaign to get the public to prepare a "grab-and-go" bag in case of emergencies has been both criticised and mocked by social media users.. a police scotland tweet urged people to pack essentials such as a first aid kit, radio, torch, and food and water.. its recommendations were part of an annual preparedness month, which is being promoted by local authorities and emergency services across the uk.. however, the police force has been accused of scaremongering.. the tweet read: "september is preparedness month.
emergencies can happen at any time and it's recommended to have a #grabbag ready containing essential items including medication, copies of important documents, food/water, torch, radio and other personal items.".

There is a big difference between preparing for common or reasonably expected emergencies, and preparing for Armageddon. Given how many countries' currencies have become toilet paper recently (including Zimbabwe, and numerous South American countries), it is not unreasonable to prepare for that with gold and/or silver purchases. You might prepare for the inevitable time when the lights go out, for a fire, or getting stranded in your car. A fire extinguisher might seem a waste of money, and that's one thing you hope never to actually have to use--but the one time you have a small fire that could have become a big one, it pays for itself.
You might also prepare for things that inevitably are coming. You see immigrants coming to your area, out of control? What usually happens to the areas when this happens, and you are not supposed to do anything about it? Do you frequently endure hurricanes, tornadoes, blizzards, heat waves, cold spells, and wind/ice storms? Do you often experience rolling blackouts under certain reasonably expected conditions? What about the occasional earthquakes? Or, for that matter, the probability of them taking the whole Internet away or making it unusable or resembling cable TV?
On the other hand, there are things that almost never happen. If you prepare for a tsunami in the middle of St Louis, that is just plain stupid because they are not going to experience such. Or, planning for some religious idiot that claims salvation on a specific date and not having any way for it to not happen is asking for trouble. Or, getting stuff that is way beyond your ability--you probably do not need to prepare for a medical emergency that you would not be able to do anything about if it does happen. (Aside from calling whatever emergency number you might have.) People living in the north do not need to prepare for an onslaught of Taipan or Mamba snakes (they do not live outside their native continents).
Beyond this, many of those survival items or kits are scams. I have seen items that do such a lousy job that depending on them for survival is worse than not having anything, and Walmart is notorious for selling junk that will not work when you need it to. Or, they are for the wrong purpose--a bug out bag will not be useful in a bug in situation, and an urban survival situation will be different from a wilderness survival situation. Preparing for the wrong one is a waste of time, and you cannot prepare for every possible eventuality. Just prepare for the most reasonably expected situations (such as blackouts and whatever storms you frequently experience).
And no, trusting in that reptilian monster called joke-hova is not going to prepare you for anything except for you to be used to prepare joke-hova to enslave the whole earth. Instead of preventing or preparing for a bad situation, trusting in that monster is working toward creating an even worse situation for everyone. And no one can prepare for it properly, no matter what.

Secondary fulfilment to prophecy?
by Doug Mason inin its use of the prophecy contained in nebuchadnezzar's dream (daniel 4), the wts applies a "greater fulfilment" beyond its initial application.. while they complain about the wts's action, at the same time these people make their own secondary applications to prophecies, such as with micah 5:2. these people also find "greater" meaning to historical statements, such as at isaiah 9:6 and at isaiah 53.. such passages had their local meaning yet people are prepared to find their "greater application" which suits their ends, just as the wts does.
it is not an excuse to say that the nt writers indulged themselves in the practice.. i am not saying that i agree with the practice; i am simply seeking consistency and integrity.. doug.

The first "fulfillment" was fiction. It is used to bring a second fulfillment--and I have bad news about that. The second fulfillment of the whole bible is Noahide Law, with full enslavement and misery for the whole human race that will never end. And I mean NEVER. I wonder how many are actually looking forward to that--unless, that is, they are going to be one of the masters or think they are.

Loss of "privileges" as his only punishment? What if that was regular fornication between two consenting adults? Would they just take away "privileges"?

Just to get everyone they can into the cancer. They will study with teens, or even children, without their parents' permission if they feel it will result in a study. Studying a book full of curses on the whole human race has the most potentially serious adverse consequences of all things I can think of, and when someone alters it to fit a religion that goes totally against nature is even more serious. Even jesus, according to their own theology, was 30 when baptized--and he was supposedly raised in it.
Given the dire consequences of tying into such horrible energy, plus that they can and will steal everything from their victims (including their time), I believe that 21 is a good minimum age to study with this cancer (if one needs to be 21 to legally smoke weed, then why not at least that for something that is perhaps even more dangerous). And that assumes this whole scam can't be totally outlawed--along with the whole book of lies and curses, so they will not have that energy to push Noahide Law on the whole planet. (And then wonder why the age to study this cancer should be at least 21, or totally banned.)

highlights from Circuit Overseer Guidelines
by neat blue dog ini just finished looking through the circuit overseer manual, so here are some highlights.
first up, regarding circuit assemblies:.
if a brother is so extremely overweight that others would be distracted if he had a part on the program, good judgment would need to be used in deciding whether to give him an assignment.

And why would someone be morbidly obese in the first place? Usually, it is because of lousy metabolism, which is caused by not exercising enough, too many crash diets, or nutritional deficiencies. Someone that is so fat that they would stumble someone if given a part is also so unhealthy that they might have a heart attack during the part, which would be far worse. They need reasonable exercise, a sensible diet (and no crash diets that will only make things worse), and supplements. Iodine supplements would help, and since most of us are deficient in magnesium (and a deficiency there can cause heart problems), I would start there.
What about the structure of the religion that can make one fat, or keep someone fat or make them even fatter? Most of their "exercise" consists of driving to a call or several calls, sitting in on studies, and sitting in boasting sessions. They might walk short distances in field circus, but never the brisk walking they need. If they go to any organized program to get in shape, the hounders will nag them about that. And the pious-sneer diet consists of too much "phude" at McDonalds every day. Hardly what I would recommend for anyone, let alone someone that is morbidly obese.
And what about sleep? What sleep? Do they really need all those boasting sessions or to get that 200 hours of field circus every month, plus work several part time jobs? A lack of sufficient sleep helps keep many of those jokehovians fat, or make them fatter than they otherwise would have been. Not to mention, every time something actually works, it is usually associated with martial arts or a pagan ritual--both are banned. How can anyone lose even a small amount of weight if most effective exercises are banned, as is yoga?

And suppose that "fat" wife starts exercising and becomes fit? What then? Just another way of instilling hang-ups against anything attractive, plus another sickness working for everyone. It is never better to be morbidly obese than to be at a healthy weight, and physically fit. Not only does it look ugly, but it is bad for the health and makes life more difficult (which is perfect for the washtowel, since they can say how this morbidly obese tub of lard pious-sneered despite the struggle instead of the same person pious-sneering at a healthy weight, and in good health without the struggle.)

Money! How much did you "Contribute" To The WTB@TS When You Were A Member
by The Bethelite ini was in full time service for six years including bethel.
once i got out of bethel, i figured i had already given them six of the best years of my life (ages 18-24) working as a slave/drone in their factory, so i rationalized that i had given them enough... so over the next 27 years i would say maybe $200 bucks is it.
i think their whole "voluntary contributions" idea is biting them in the ass, because over all jehovah's witnesses are a cheap group people with a few exceptions.

I used to give them something like 50 toilet papers per a$$embly--and if they blew that, too bad for them. And, when they had one of those junk-build pledges, I gave about a cable-bill's worth (back in those days, a cable bill was only in the $30 area). I stopped doing that upon realizing I was getting negative value for it, and pledged not to as much as lift a finger for their new building or give even a penny. Within a few years (say, 1992), I totally stopped giving anything because joke-hova was giving me negative value.
Let them be dumb enough to try that today with a pledge form. I doubt they will understand what I write directly on the line where it asks how much I pledge to give toward the worldwide enslavement work. And it will waste a form.
