prove anything close to what jw's teach. And that is that there is only one true religion. The thread "Is worship deserved?" has a link http://www.watchtower.org/e/bh/article_15.htm and at the end of that article a small box makes that suggestion. That scripture doesn't even use the expression "true religion" but is very vague as to giving any direction. It simply makes a statement "Go in through the narrow gate; because broad and spacious is the road leading off into destruction, and many are the ones going in through it; 14 whereas narrow is the gate and cramped the road leading off into life, and few are the ones finding it" Is this a typical example of how the jw's put words in the mouth of scripture, so to speak?

Was the Memorial brochure a bait and switch?

Do you mean because they didn't tell you what you believe? LOL

Blondie's Comments You Will Not Hear at the 04-15-2012 WT Study (COURAGEOUS)

be courageous.

we may think of a courageous.

others displayed courage.

21 Courage is required to preach the
good news. Christian youths need this
quality if they are to maintain integrity
at school. It may take courage to request
time off from secular work in order to
attend all sessions of a convention. The
list could go on and on. Regardless of
the challenges we face, however, Jehovah
will hear our ‘prayers of faith.' (Jas.
5:15) And surely he can give us his holy
spirit so that we can "be courageous and
very strong"!

Of course none of these apply to me, the writer of this dribble, so how would I really know.

Gutless WTS Leadership From the "Confidentiality" Letter

by LostGeneration in

the letter leaked today on "confidentiality" had an infurating set of paragraphs on suicides, attempted suicides, and threatened suicides.

here is the excerpt.. suicides and attempted or threatened suicides.

20. at times, judicial committees may deal with someone who is so distraught that he attempts.

I love this too - There is no need to state that you will be contacting the Legal Department. You should then call the Legal Department
immediately for further direction on how to proceed.

Another possible reason for smaller mags. . .

by breakfast of champions in

i was thinking this as i was reading through a foreign language wt yesterday afternoon.

the wt needs so many translators to translate their crap into 200 or whatever languages.

can you imagine the mental gymnastics these people need to do in order to translate stuff like the "generation" teaching into another language?

You definitely have a strong point. And I would add that they can see that the more they publish, the more verbage, the better chance of having conflicting info. It has always been there if you looked hard enough. Now you can find it in the same mag and sometimes the same article and sometimes even the same paragraph. LOL

Matt. 25:34-40

the other sheep should never forget that their salvation depends on their active support of christ's anointed "brothers" still on earth.

from march 15, 2012 study edition article entitled, rejoicing in our hope?.

first how much stretching does it take to make this leap?

I was thinking of the jw teachings. I always thought they taught (and I thus believed LOL) that the heavenly hope was not in existence prior to the sinning of the first pair.
