"We missed you at the meeting"
by tresdecu ini have grown to hate this statement with a a passion.
as an ms i vowed never to say it, because it never really sounded caring.
it was just a subtle guilt trip.. anyway...my reason for starting this thread is that a 'bible study' i know, (who i am aquianted with other than him being a b.s.

What if:
by tresdecu ini just had a fun thought.
what if sombody with tons of money, who also hated the jw religion, offered to give any high up dub (gb mem, pr guy, legal dub etc) a comfortable living for the rest of his life if he came clean on how it's all just a man made pulishing company.... i gotta think that is what is keeping some in, ones that know the truth, ones that could cause some real damage.
they can't leave because they would lose their ny appt with 3 meals a day and built in "friends".

Jehovah inspires the writing of talk outlines.
by tresdecu inalthough the wt claim they are not inspired.
there is a crazy undercurrent, that i've always just took for granted, that many of the bros and sis's think they actually are inspired.
we recently had a statement in a public talk that "jehovah saw fit to have the governing body put this <whatever it was> in this outline".

Question for Barbara Anderson
by tresdecu innormally i would just pm you, but if you answer i figured others might want to read your reply.. before you had your personal crisis of conscience while at bethel (that sparked the major turning point in you life)...did you have other doubts?...ones that you brushed to the side while serving among the 'elite' at "god's house" .
ps: i have enjoyed your experiences that i have read on other sites, along with your comments on the 'nethinim' fiasco.

WTS - Inspired from the spirit world??
by tresdecu inhere's a thought i just had.... there are numerous places in the mags / bks etc where they say they are not inspired, don't claim to be infallible blah blah blah.... but then there's a line in the rev bk or a wt (can't remember which) where they say something to the effect that dead gb members may be 'communicating spiritual truths' to those still on earth.... does anyone remember that line or know what its from?.
that would be a great way to stumble up their pr guy...jr brown.
wonder how they would explain that!.

Some GEMS from the 2001 ANNUAL MEETING
by tresdecu indid a little time travel...i googled 'wt annual meeting' and this popped up from the freeminds site from 2001.... right after the 9/11 attacks the gb was probably salavating at all the scare tactics they could use for the big a!.
in 2001 i was a semi-enthusiastic ms, awaiting my impending eldership (now i am just a 'do as little as possible' ms waiting to step down.).
reading these notes now...i wonder what i would have thought of this back in 01 ??.
