A WTS prophecy that actually came true in our time...
by dozy ini used to have friends that worked in the department that dealt with news release at assemblies and we always had a chuckle at the press releases that were carefully scripted with the usual fill in the blanks (bethel speaker , attendance , number of baptised etc) for distribution to the local newspapers.. most responded by carefully filing the press release in the b (for bin) file , but some newspapers print the press release in full.
i couldn't help but laugh at the one for the 2009 district assemblies which helpfully includes the observation that the audience broke out in spontaneous prolonged applause at the conclusion of the assembly.
this does seem quite remarkable considering that it was written in a press release written many months before the convention actually took place.

A Little sick to my stomach
by dssynergy ini just heard from my family that my little nephew, going to turn 8 soon, just joined the ministry school.
i felt a little sick when i heard.
so starts the panting on the treadmill and the "faith by works" routine that leads to imho, superficial christianity.

Benefit From Theocratic Ministry School Education, page 31--excellent quote
by sd-7 in"some have wisely invested time in studying some of our christian publications that were printed prior to their learning the truth.".
hmm...i think i'll take them up on that!
they weren't very specific in which ones we should study, so that leaves us with some very interesting material to consider.

Would Disclosure Cause JW Suicide?
by metatron ini agree with nick pope ( the ministry of defense official who was assigned to investigate british ufo sightings and became a strong believer thereby).
he feels that there will never be a 'big d' but only lots of gradual 'd's'.
i believe this is already happening:.

How to Annoy Everyone at the Watchtower Study
by So Past A Dub ini thought you good folks might enjoy this post from http://www.thelaughingapostate.com/.
s.p.a.d., who is one old cantankerous apostate, has been noticing of late that several of you brave souls still find yourselves in a situation where you have to attend meetings at least now and then.
i feel for you good folks and i think it is high time that all of us chip in with ideas of how to reduce the boredom and suffering you must endure.

Why does the organization respect some cultures and not others specifically American?
by meangirl inokay, i am trying to wrap my head around this and it just does not make any sense.
i could not think of one "american" tradition/culture that is "allowed" by the society.
heck even football is frowned on.
