Thoughts on a WT Reformation

by Fr.RAS in

i posted what follows elsewhere but thought it might be of interest here as well.

my forst posting here so i apologize in advance if this is not in the correct place.. a tribute to ray franz (on what would have been his 98th birthday) and to ed dunlap, his collaborator.

last week would have marked the 98th birthday of a man for whom most of us here have high regard.

From the perspective of someone who today holds an advanced degree in theology and who strongly disagrees with the theology and Biblical exegesis they contain, it is nonetheless clear that there has been a planned, precipitous intellectual decline in the past several decades.
It is blatantly obvious that the Society lost whatever intellectual backbone it had when it disfellowshipped the likes of Ray Franz and Ed Dunlap.

This is definitely true. The intellectual decline started, I believe, when Fred Franz died. Didn't Ray credit him with much of the theological underpinnings of the WT during the 1900s? He was there right from the beginning (basically), and had a certain... creativity... when it came to doctrinal matters.

Nobody seems to be able to fill his shoes, and it shows.

My latest letter to WT demanding correction from their side

brothers and sisters associated with the watchtower society may 9, 2020. i have tried to inform you of the necessary adjustments you ought to take in order to truly be in the truth.

but my efforts have remained fruitless.

you well know the biblical procedure.

Dear Kosonen,

Thank you for contacting the WTB&TS service desk. Rest assured that we did indeed receive your correspondence. Even though we can’t take anything you say seriously, and we all laughed over your naive view that we actually care, your letter was definitely appreciated. You see, due to COVID-19, we’ve had a horrible TP shortage, and your letter served to alleviate that shortage ever so slightly.

Sincerely,

Your brothers.

Even a year ago, I would listen to the statements made at the beginning of the OP’s video and think it was highly conspiratorial and improbable...

And then Roger Stone... Flynn... and the defense offered by many in media is: “Meh, nothing really special here, it happens all the time.” Maybe this lady was screwed by the powerful, that much of her story doesn’t seem so improbable anymore.

I thought this would be "obvious", but apparently ...

by Simon in

if you want to share a conspiracy video that is going to be removed by youtube, maybe sharing a link to a copy that is hosted on youtube isn't the best plan.. who knew?!.

social media is no longer the platform to use for controversial, alternative or "wrong think" opinions.. host it if you feel strongly about it, but don't keep posting "this video has been removed" links, it's a waste of everyone's time..

Just post a link to BitChute version.

I’ve listened to several anti-vaccination advocates. They still have a lot of explaining to do to convince me. The historical record of vaccines itself seems like an incredible burden of proof to overcome.

One thing for sure - they should not be banned. Let them at least make their argument. I’m not an expert on viruses. So if what she is saying actually is a pile of steaming crap, then banning her views, without responses from those who claim she is incorrect, only seems to add credibility to her position.

Comment on BBC News web site

by BoogerMan in

"i've just been told by a nurse just off shift that 6 wards were put aside for cv19 at ninewells hospital in dundee and that only one is being used.

also that the virus is being put as cause of death on almost every death...including one male patient who died of cancer who tested positive but had no effects.

so bear that in mind, and this is genuinely what i've been told what is going on.".

This is has been reported in NY for some time now. A month ago the NYC COVID death count jumped a few thousand in one day. Come to find out that they added deaths in general to the COVID count without even testing. They get some federal funds per case, setting a perverse incentive for these shenanigans.

some towns in massachusetts are fining people 1000 dollars for not wearing a mask 😷 outdoors.

starting wednesday, the governor mandates everyone from 2 years of age up, must wear a mask or get a 300 dollar fine!.

of course some governors are recommending that you rat out anyone that doesn’t follow their orders.. i don’t like it!👎🏿.

Prager has it right: "Safe" means "Never".

Coronavirus Positive

hey all,.

i'm day six of isolation, confirmed to have coronavirus.

i have been seeing very sick cv positive patients over the last month in my a&e role (emergency physician) it was inevitable i would contract it.. just wanted to give some symptom and treatment advice, it's anecdotal but may help.. started as sore throat and headache, then croaky voice, then dry cough, then episodic transient fevers, all this over the first few days.

MeanMrMustard

Right, but on the previous page, the posts inquiring about his real name so that, perhaps, a welfare check could be called in, were posted 5 days ago. When people were really worried about him, he was gone for just two days.

I'm not saying we shouldn't care... not at all. If S&R is out there, I hope he checks in. My point is that it wasn't like he was gone for 20-30 days (like the previous posts were implying). You can see Zing was referenced. They were really worried. I am just saying, it is not as bad as they thought just by looking at the post history.

*BUMP FOR S&R*

You can click on his username, then on the “posted” link (below the threads started link) to see his posts ordered descending by date, and see he was posting 7 days ago. He just didn’t visit this thread.

The power is like a drug to these people. Literally, it lights the brain up like crack cocaine. They won’t stop. They will destroy everything, anything for the fix. Ultimately, the only way out of this is to rip the power away, put them back in the corner, force them through “rehab”.
