15. what goal should a young christian have while he is in school?.
With contributions drying up rather quickly, the Watchtower desparately needs NEW ignorant followers so they can embark on their next phase of real estate flipping (with hard-working free labor)...
The last thing they need right now are college educated thinkers who can detect their scams a mile away...
wow... can't believe the entire post got wiped out...
oh well... it was just a boring story about how my mind used to wander off during assemblies as I did Armageddon math (1914+70=1984 or 1914+80=1994 or 360X7+70 or 365X7+70 or +80 or adding 30 days every 6 years to the 360 day jewish calendar year, etc, etc.)
boring post, really...
I was just wondering if anyone had similar experiences...
im just wondering when was the last time a gb went out to preach ?.
I recently asked Nestor Kuilan (mentioned in Crisis of Conscience) the same question...
He said that he only knew of a few GB members that did any significant field service... obviously Ray (his close friend) was one of them...
Most of them would usuallu have some assembly talk, meetings or other "theocratic" matters to attend to (probably to avoid field service, in my opinion)...
I want to Believe... I'm familiar with the "MAY" talk and the history of this book, etc.. was just being sarcastic and bumping the thread at the same time... but glad you brought it up...
what's with the damn media panic?
swine flu is gonna wipe out the world!.....like the witnesses i'm tired of these lies, sars and bird flu were not that huge....a year ago a scientist said birdflu would be the next "spanish influenza" killing millions......hello, i'm still here wearing a gas mask!.
lets all panic the friggin world so they forget the economy!!!!!!
Donald Rumsfeld made a quick buck and the rest is ancient history by now... until the next pandemic hoax... follow the money, not the media...
That's a forged copy... the real one says "Millions now living MAY never die" ... the Faithful and Discreet Slave says so...
so thats what my mum told me today.
i've learned to hold my tongue but i was thinking,.
"why can't it?
When I was in, there was an elder in my congo who would literally beg Jehovah to bring justice very soon whenever he had the closing prayer during KH meetings. His voice would usually crack and he always sounded desparate. At the close of a Service Meeting (during which they showed video of KH builds in Africa), he got so emotional during the closing prayer that I looked up and saw him with eyes shut really tight while he squeezed his hands tightly and begged Jehovah to bring his Kingdom... I thought: "does he even realize that he's begging Jehovah to kill 6 billion people as soon as possible?"
I think you'll find a lot of over-loaded elders saying the same thing all over the world... "It just CAN't go on much longer"
i have started to read crisis of consicence.
it is mindblowing and upsetting because of the lies i believed..
robB... don't bother trying to get your friend to read this book... this is only for JWs that are able to analyze things objectively... not for one-sided die-hard JWs.
i received the following email written in spanish through my website, www.watchtowerdocuments.com.
i used google translation, which i posted below the spanish, but would like someone fluent in spanish to translate the email accurately.
from what i could make out, this information sounds interesting, so i decided to share it.
Marvin... Maybe the "speculative investments" being referred to are the African infrastructure projects that will be discussed at the Africa Investment Summit in London next week... There are two bethelites attending this summit...
dgp... thanks! I always wondered where that came from!
