'Obey the organization like Moses'--why this is wrong
by sd-7 ini was just thinking about how the watchtower often compares the organization's position to that of moses.
challenging moses, in their retelling of the biblical account, equated challenging god's authority, as korah, dathan, and abiram did, to their own peril.
the conclusion we are to gain from this is not to challenge, question, or disagree with the watchtower society's teachings even in our private thoughts.

by sd-7 ini was just thinking of something i read recently, a thread about the district convention talk, that mentioned how 'apostates' are always picking at 'the organization'.
i just had a thought about that.. pick up any copy of the watchtower or awake!
or any other publication the watchtower society publishes, and more than likely, in every single one of them, there will be several statements made against all other christian religions, all religions in general, or the scientific community so far as it conflicts with jehovah's witnesses' doctrines.

by sd-7 ini noticed the june 2012 our kingdom ministry question box, which asks, "what should be kept in mind if we want some or all of our assets to go to jehovah's organization upon our death?".

The Beast-Tower Presents: Sparlockian Rhapsody
by sd-7 inin presenting this musical drama, we recognize it is mere satire, and borrows heavily from queen, a worldly rock band of the distant past.
however, the beast-tower does not condone or recommend any particular music.
many spiritually famished apostates, showing a lack of appreciation for jehovah's animated provisions for children, have spoken against a toy used for educational purposes in a recent video.

well, it's a big deal for me because when i was in school i was assigned to read it, and my mom put a stop to it, going so far as to write a note to the teacher explaining that i couldn't read it because it had witchcraft in it.
there was a bit of back and forth with the teacher over that.
