Bonafide where are you???
by cattails ina couple of months ago we wondered where bonafide had disappeared to...http://www.jehovahs-witness.net/jw/friends/183305/1/the-guy-that-claimed-he-was-going-to-bring-down-the-wtbts.
he had left us with the titillating suggestion he was up to something big to bring down the wtbts.but did he go further undercover?
did he only end up being a troll and nothing more?

I just feel like crying... I'm so fed up of the hypocrisy!
by cattails ini was very disgusted with the wt study for today.. towards the end of the article it refers to matthew 15 (see quoted scripture below).
this is a beautiful passage where jesus says his followers need to be hospitable, care for sick, hungry and imprisoned brothers.. they turn it around and say that for jw's this means they need to support the "faithful and discreet slave" by going in door-to-door witnessing, making monetary contributions to support the worldwide witnessing work, and following the directions and counsel of congregation elders.. and the worst part of it all is that there were several commenters giving almost word for word answers to that effect, they didn't even seem to listen to previous comments, they just repeated mindlessly what the paragraph said... i was ready to burst.
mom knew i was about to have a fit right there and then.

Trying to annul your baptism, WT says forget about it.
by cattails inthe koolaid wt issue for february has an interesting article about when your baptism can be considered invalid.but the main thrust of the article is aimed at making it super clear that if you were present at your bapt.
talk and answered the two questions then forget about it, elders are put on notice to not let anyone off the hook.but... if you were committing a serious sin and hid it at the time of your baptism, then it was invalid, and point is, they'd still announce you not being "one of j.w.s" so if you plead your case to walk away from the wt saying you didn't know what you were getting into, it will do no good, but it will be grounds for an announcement.just ol' mother wt tightening up loose ends.

Is the Governing Body looking down on the R&F?
by cattails inthere's an interesting thread at:.
http://www.jwsupportforum.com/index.php?topic=8247.msg119745.
it raises the question that the point of view of many society illustrations is from above, a kind of bird's eye view, looking down on to the scene.. and since the society spends so much time mulling over every detail of their illustrations the point of view from above has to be chosen on purpose.. if this is the case then it speaks volumes about the way the governing body wants to be perceived as being higher, looking down on things.. and it would give the r&f the feeling that they are being watched.. what do you all think about this?

"Congregation Collapse Disorder" or "Congregation Publisher Depopulation Syndrome"
by cattails inon another thread:http://www.jehovahs-witness.net/jw/friends/183305/3/the-guy-that-claimed-he-was-going-to-bring-down-the-wtbtsi posted some information i'd like to split into it's own discussion: .
"congregation collapse disorder" or "congregation publisher depopulation syndrome".
the ccd problem is clearly obvious when worker bees disappear, fade away, go away, pass away.. every congregation of jw's has publishers that pass away due to illness and aging.
