pale.emperor made an interesting observation in another thread:.
the "blocking an expression of gods love" crap is a sneaky tactic to make the shunner not feel like they're doing something evil.
cults do that.

why didn't god also reveal himself to the canaanites just as he did to moses in the burning bush so that the massacre/genocide of the canaanites could have been avoided?.
why didn't god also invite the native palestinians into his covenant, giving them the same laws he gave the israelites, and establish an egalitarian society where people of all races could live together in harmony?.
instead, he ordered his people to invade and slaughter the natives, killing them to the last man, woman and child, specifically instructing them to show no mercy to anyone under any circumstances.

He could have changed it up a bit..
Maybe come back as a Burning Oil Barrel..

"Thou Shalt Have..
No Other Gods Before Me!"..
so as i announced last week, my wife and i started our fade and i sent in a letter to our body that i was stepping down and cited the arc as the reason and insisted that we not be bothered.
my wife told a few relatives in person that we weren't going to attend meetings any longer (immediate shunning occurred, the new videos must be effective) and that what we found with the arc shocked us etc etc.
i have an inside track on how this is all going down by an awake elder on the body, co told them to handle the matter quickly.
We hitting the chopping block or you think this is an effort to "shepherd"?
We`re Only Here To Help..
in south africa there are meetings taking place at the kh's at this time involving video hookup as well......anyone know anything or is similar occurring in your neck of the woods this week-end ??

Extra-Ordinary Meetings taking place at Kingdom Halls at this hour....???
Same Old,Same Old..

JW`s Aren`t Doing Enough..
WATCHTOWER IS AWESOME!!..
so this is really starting to grate on me the more i think about it because it's just wrong grammatically.. one of my friends always refers to me used to being "a jehovah witness" which used to grate whenever she said it but now it seems more correct.. think about it this way: bruce springsteen has fans.
they are fans of bruce springsteen or, bruce springsteen's fans.
but each of them isn't a bruce springsteen's fan.
So "Jehovah Witnesses" is more correct, surely?.....Simon
Considering the name Jehovah is a 13th century Catholic translation mistake..
"Shirley`s Witnesses" would be just as accurate..
Some JW`s may not like it though..

i go to a hall (very rarely) with a single cong of about 60 people in a small city of maybe 10000. our board of elders is a bunch of childless weirdos or at least the ones that make an effort.. they recently changed the sunday meeting time from 10/12 to 1/ 3. a number of us are pissed off.
its makes to hard to drive to the city or go to a football game.. i just know the gestopo elders behind the change.
if your life isnt as miserable or pointless as theirs, they arent doing their job.
Its makes to hard to drive to the city or go to a football game.
They knew that when they changed the hours..

i proably shouldnt be on here but i feel like saying this.
i have been for the last couple weeks been studying religion.
i've learned the only ones who today do what the bible says to is jw.
Jehovah said some would leave. He can't lie.....A Believer
The name Jehovah is a 13th century translation mistake made by a Catholic monk..
Jehovah`s Witnesses should ask Watchtower..To send the Catholic Pope a Thank You Card,for giving your Religion and God a Name..
...........
Your Welcome WatchTower!!

please, let's discuss this subject without attacking one another.. it appears that trump has won a victory that no one expected.
is it possible that trump may play a part in the great tribulation?.
there are some who believe trump is one of the most unqualified of men to ever be elected president of the united states.
To JW it ain't about the wt....Fisherman
IF YOU REALLY BELIEVE THAT..
the wts has always included minors and adults in the same categories - publisher and baptized.. i am interested in knowing how many minors, approximately, are included in the publisher count.
and, at what age a person started publishing.
what age was the youngest publisher reported?.
What age were you when you were counted as a publisher?
