Gov body

by dogisgod in

i had a couple of young brothers at my door and one used the word "channel" in referring to how the gb gets inspired.

i was pretty surprised at that.

i've been "out" for a long time and i'm very out of the loop..

What are the worst pictures in My Book of Bible Stories?

by cedars in

a few comments from muddy waters and mummatron on another thread peaked my curiosity and led me to revisit some of the illustrations in the my book of bible stories.

i don't appear to have my old copy from when i was a child (thankfully), so i checked out the images over on watchtower.org where the entire book can be read online.

the images below are taken from what is displayed on that website, although it wouldn't surprise me if there are equally awful images that haven't been used.. so which of the images below are the most grotesque and inappropriate for children?

I don't remember which publication but there was a picture of the resurection where people were climbing out of their graves with dirt falling off of them. that was scairy to me.

The latest change in Watchtower vocabulary to catch out the unwary

by slimboyfat in

i got a copy of the recent kingdom ministry the other day and it reminded me of something in the book the orwellian world of jehovha's witnesses by heather and garry botting.

it's on the front page of the december issue of the km, they have a heading called "not 'alternative' witnessing" where they explain that the term is no longer considered appropriate and "public" witnessing should be used instead.. in the orwellian world of jehovah's witnesses the bottings discuss the importance of the particular language jws use to set themselves apart from other people.

they redefine common words to give them a particular slant, such as "brother", "sister", "literature" and so on.

Anybody remember "back calls" ? they changed to "returne visits".

Telephone hook up

by dogisgod in

my mother had this arrangement.

what it actually accomplished was isolating her from the cong.

as she was 89 she didn't drive at night.

My mother had this arrangement. What it actually accomplished was isolating her from the Cong. As she was 89 she didn't drive at night. She also had macular degeneration. She would study all week for the meetings. This arrangement released the cong from the responsibility of seeing her, calling her, etc. When she died she felt very forsaken by them. She only served the borg for 59 years. I hate them.

Is this true? We're not and never have been JW's??

by Muddy Waters in

(i posted this on another forum, but am reposting here to see what you all think!

thank you for bearing with me.

.... in one book, "the watchtower's coming crisis" by daniel rodriguez (amazon link: http://www.amazon.com/watchtowers-comin ... 606&sr=1-4 ).

dogisgod

Yeah, that's been the thought for a long time. There is the "little flock" annointed and then the "great crowd". The "great crowd holds on to the skirt of the Jew. Whatever. Wasted a lot of time.

So I was at Church and saw a New World Translation

by Cagefighter in

there is a middle-agged gentleman that i have been seeing at church for a while.

i was a little early and decided to say hello and make a new friend a couple of weeks ago.

the blood probably drained from my face when i saw the big oversized version of the nwt laying in the pew.

dogisgod

Went to a HS Play and the Preacher Character had the NWT. I was mesmerized by it the whole time.

Victoria, Australia: Results of November 8th Steven Unthank's Court Hearing

by AndersonsInfo in

re: results of november 8 court hearing.

yet again, all five cases remain intact and are still in the criminal justice system.

oh, how the wheels of justice turn ever so slowly.. .

dogisgod

The borg has such deep pockets. I find it interesting there is a woman as an attorney. She must be pretty good. (Does she wear slacks to Court?) If Australia is like the US there are probably dozens if not hundreds of cases to prioritize. That would slow things down in itself.I hope things turn out well but if not the ice is cracking. There is no difference between the borg and the catholic church. Thank you Steven!

Ike apostatized from JW religion and got baptized by the River Brethren

by oppostate in

from e-watchman's website:.

http://e-watchman.com/jehovahs-witnesses-news/tag/obama .

eishenhower's upbringing associated with the international bible students (later jehovah's witnesses).

dogisgod

I read somewhere that the family was embarassed by Mrs Eisenhower's standing on corners with the magazines. It would be interesting to see if he referenced his mother in any way in his writings and what ever happened to everyone in that family. Any JWs left?

just read on jehovahs witness forum that leon weaver has been made president.

replacement for max larson.

george.

Did I read somewhere here that the Gov B members are paid $100.000.00/yr? If so where is that prooved or written? It kills me that if that is so they booted Franz out with no skills and a literal lifetime of service with $10,000.00. What a bunch of greedy as.h..es.
