Family is drawing the line in the sand
by dissonance_resolved inso my family has obviously been noticing over the past several months that i've been missing meetings and fs.
i've had excuses sometimes, but not others, so my parents are definitely getting that this is more than a long bout of illnesses or fatigue.
i just received an email invitation to join them in service this weekend.

We want to thank the ex-governing body member, who believed Bible BS right up to his death.
We want to thank all the ex cirucit & district overseers for sharing their sins and knowledge of sins.
We want to thank all the Elder's who have left that in their former glory "stoned" people who are still walking dead.
We want to thank all the Bethelites and Missionaries that played the game so well for so long.
We want to thank the plain ordinary dogs (publishers) who snatch up all the crumbs of gossip from the consecrated table and collectively give the former leaders a new flock to admire them.
We want to thank organized groups of renegades who would like to make us worthless volunteers in overthrowing an organization that is going to die all by itself.
Please leave your godamn titles and certificates and honorary priveleges in the dumpster before you enter here.
We need a real "truth" thread from all of you x-leaders. You need to name your organizational sins and ask for forgiveness.

Why should God answer a prayer to get a job while atrocities happen everyday?
by BU2B ini had a conversation yesterday with my wife, who seems to think every good thing that happens to her just has to be jehovah, and every bad thing, she just knows is satan.
this irritates me to no end.
i told her yesterday that i have trouble praying to have relatively petty thing resolved in my life, meanwhile around the world, many people are raped mutilated, tortured, and killed everyday.

Watchtower Stupid Talk. We have 3 meetings on one night. In reality it is ONE (1) meeting with 3 sessions or parts.
A circuity assembly or special assembly day is One (1) meeting divided up into several segments.
They are good at that kind of thinking. They even have jesus coming in 1914 and then coming at armageddon.
They like those collective structures: Faithful and discreet Slave = All the annointed. Domestics = Indiviudal annointed.
They replaced that structure.
Don't forget the seven angels of the congregations in Revelation. They now refer to them as the seven "elder bodies" of the congregations.
So they love the grouping and re-grouping game.
They did that with the interpretation of Revelation 17:11. All the translations say that the eighth king is "one of" the seven. The Freddy interpretation says the eighth king "springs" from the seven so it fit with Watchtower interpretation that the eight king is really a Collective of all the Nations or The United Nations.
Their flip flop on the ten toes of the immense image is another grouping problem.

The present arrangement will NOT be changed because...
the Governing Body "just love this arrangement".
There are 5 meetings a week? Who you kidding? By definition only.

Back to Basics, Baloney, Eden Eve and Eventualities.
by prologos ingen 1:31: "-- it was very good--".
at this point man had perfection, so did the animals , it was all very good after all, but.
mankind did not have inherent never ending life, just like the perfect animals,-- because.

We were ready to enter the promised land (new world) in 1975. We weren't ready so we have been marching around in the wilderness.
2015 will mark 40 years of wandering around. The generation of mis-leaders will all be dead by then.

Did Yahweh command child sacrifice at one time?
by srd inalthough there is no explicit commandment or stipulation that ordains child sacrifice in the bible, there are nonetheless numerous passages that discuss it as if it was being practiced.
this post lays the query out.

Jehovah said that it never entered his mind that the Israelites should sacrifice their children as they were doing in Hinnom.
Yet, it did enter his mind to test Abraham.
Today however, the leadership of Jehovah's Witnesses teach that parents ought to let their children die a type of sacrifical death in case they need a blood transfusion.
They claim that even though blood transfusions weren't practiced in the Apostle's day Jehovah knew that transfusions would become a practice and therefore expected Christians to have to undergo trial on this issue in the modern world.
I don't believe in God or the Devil but if there were both a God and a Devil score one for the Devil. I can't think of anything that would be more blasphemous than to have parents sacrifice their children. What a reproach on God to have people bearing his name carry on a practice from which Jehovah mercifully spared Abraham.
Jehovah's Witnesses actually follow through on the sacrifice of their children without even the benefit of some special "Abrahamic Covenant" afterward. Jehovah made an exceptional oath to Abraham actually swearing to it because he knew that he put Abraham, as a parent, through the ultimate test.
