Elder giving special talk has lunch with us...shuts me down for asking about society money..lol?
by Witness 007 inwe had a nice lunch with the elder giving the "special talk" but the conversation turned toward the cancelled bookstudy....well i went on to explain how knorr made too many meetings for brothers with families and how good it was to have a free night {even though i go to one meeting a week} then i said: "well, headquarters seems to have a very buisness smart brother working there with the publications now for donations due to tax and selling all those buildings in the heart of new york for millions and moving out....{elder interupts me] "yes, but, jehovah is the one who is buisness smart brother..." i thought wtf!
weird response, like was it too un-spiritual?
did jehoover really "tell" brothers to sell in new york?

Need help with an Awake picture scan.
by Leprechaun indo any of you remember the picture of two passinger planes flying near the twin towers with distruction all around, that the awake magazine had in the early 70's or late 60's ?.
i have seen it on the web in the past, but i can't find it now.
i think that picture is a keeper for many reasons..

Would you rather see the WTS move mainstream or just collapse in a heap?
by ThomasCovenant inmaybe eventually the wts will adapt and change and try to go mainstream.. as 'new shite' shines brightly then;.
maybe eventually celebrating birthdays and even christmas will be 'allowed' without too many repercussions.. maybe eventually the 'blood' issue will fade away and 'brothers' wil be allowed the whole lot of fractions together at the same time.. maybe eventually disfellowshipping and particularly shunning will be seen as unloving and done away with.. personally i would rather this wouldn't happen.. i would prefer to see the wts collapse in the mire even with all the emotional fallout there would be to those still in having their crutches pulled away from them.. i don't want the wts to modify and adapt and go more gentle on the rank and file.. i want them to get more harsh with the brothers.. i want it to go down, not along.. am i being too cruel to those still in?.
would the more loving caring attitude be to hope that the wts changes for the better?.

Idea of respecting the Governing Body is just a Satire.
by Leprechaun inevery time i have ever heard them give a talk at an assembly i had the feeling those in attendance were sub-consciously worshipping these loons.
i felt squeamish each time those in attendance would applaud to each and every shuffle of his white shoes and changing of his hips while he barked of his platitudes and wonderment at all their accomplishments in patterson or in some other building complex.
how come i could see right off they were nothing more than shysters, but it seemed nobody else in that whole dam arena could but only me?

What does nicotine feel like?
by Elsewhere ini have never smoked or used any tobacco products aside from puffing on a cigar a few times (maybe 5 times in my life).
even with the few cigar experiences (which i did not enjoy much) i never noticed any real "feeling" from the tobacco.
what is it supposed to feel like?

Watchtower policy on child abuse...link to watchtower.org
by digderidoo inthis is terrible.
i stumbled across it whilst searching watchtower.org for their 'new light' on the faithful and discreet slave.. it seems to be instructions from 1995 as to how to deal with an accusation of child abuse, i have bolded the parts i found sickening.
when the samaritan came along, his heart went out to the wounded man.

Sisters prohibited from beinng called on to pray during meetings.
by Leprechaun ini must say that the witness idea about women not being allowed to pray out loud in the congregation is just bunk, the bible students let their women pray all the time, i asked them why they do this in light of the witnesss not doing it, he said do you think the prayer of a women is any less important to jehovah god.
i must say again the witnesss strain at the nat and seek to pervert basic teachings of gods word when they give their reason that prayer whhen a sister is doing it is a "form teaching.
" ( and your point?
