I'm not that important to Jehovah? Well, damn. Now I see the WBTS stance.
by easyreader1970 inlast night during the bible highlights, the brother (an insane and extreme zealot of an elder) said that people cannot expect jehovah to communicate with his servants directly anymore.
not because it wasn't part of his plan, nor because he has the all powerful and all knowing governing body in place, but because we really just aren't that important.
not important enough to warrant one one one communication.

Hope for prisoners. Or, why not commit suicide?
by easyreader1970 inthis is copied from a post on reddit.com.
while i don't (yet) have the urge to remove myself from life, i can understand the hopelessness part of this.. .
the reason i am making this submission with this title is because i find my life to be mostly similar to a prisoner.

Why do the JWs have secret law codes when the "world's" laws are public?
by easyreader1970 ini've glanced over the new book.
i won't comment on the rules and regulations themselves because they read as though they were drafted by lab reject monkeys.. my issue is: why the secrecy?
if these are laws and rules that all jws must abide by to remain in good standing, why can't they have access to them?

When will the crashing and burning of this organization begin?
by easyreader1970 inas i see it, there are three looming threats that all have the potential - individually or combined - to bring the wbts to its knees, at least in the united states, anyway.. 1. youth retention.
the young people aren't buying it.
the watchtower will argue that faithless young people are giving in to demonic persuasion and leaving the truth.

Assembly talk admits that meetings are boring.
by easyreader1970 ini made a post yesterday about some of the stupidity that has been flowing from my most recent assembly program.
one things i forgot to mention was this:.
hd television, video games, cell phones, and other interactive electronics - all of these things are very highly stimulating to the eyes and ears and kids (and maybe some adults, too) get used to receiving this type of visual and auditory input.

Why did Abel offer "fatty pieces" to Yahweh?
by easyreader1970 infrom my understanding--at least from my instruction from the wbts--humans were not permitted to eat meat by yahweh until after the flood.
if that is true, then why would abel offer tasty, delicious "fatty pieces" to yahweh?
how would abel even know how to cut up an animal for food and know which parts were the best for eating?.

Elder uses Congregation Bible Study as an opportunity to ban the movie Avatar
by easyreader1970 inlast night, during the congregation bible study, the conductor (overseer?
) used this as a platform to say that the movie avatar is of satan and no christians should see it.. .
he said that he googled the (original) meaning of the word avatar and it was of hindu religious origin.
