Now let's get the man's name spelt correctly! It's HANS Hubler.
I certainly have a tale to tell, but I'll wait a while longer and see what else comes up! I shall watch this thread with interest.

Anyone know Hands Hubler the D.O Missionary {a.k.a The Terminator}
by Witness 007 inhands hubler was the rudest most arrogant man "jehovah" ever made.
he was famous for kicking out sisters with crying babies during his talks.
he went to a bible study as a sister asked him to come along, he saw the christmas decorations were up so he excused them and said they would not be coming back, "terminating" the sisters study, no discussion, no nothing.

Why do people use so many derogative, belittling terms on here like....

Actually hon, that's not um, where we get the term "the Borg" from (although that's a pretty good anology!). It's actually from an alien species in Star Trek: The Next Generation that goes around the universe assimilating various species to their own particular race. Your individuality is stripped, they control your thoughts, your actions and your very life all for the greater glory of preserving 'unity' and 'progression.
Yeah, i know, mary. VM44 had already pointed that out, but look, I don't care for that there Star Trek stuff!
BTW owyergoin luv? orright?

bazaarest new program on english TV on Christianity
by reniaa ini have seen a few from other countries but this one had me going huh!!!.
http://www.channel4.com/video/make-me-a-christian/catchup.html.
reverend george hargreaves and his team continue with the group of volunteers from leeds and teach them a more 'christian' way of life in the hope it can halt the country's moral decline.. it's a group of 4 church clergy, from different christian faiths getting together to teach a group of random non-christians about god, it's format is very much like one of these makover programs were you get a team of experts to makover someone or there house, .

G'day Renaiaa,
I see by your profile that you are new to JWD and may not be aware of origins of some expressions you read here.
Borg is a term applied to the WTS of long-standing, having been derived from Brooklyn Organisation; it's connotation with mind control is, in our opinion, apt.
I hope you find it helpful. Being new too, it's not really appropriate to lecture other longstanding posters but that's a personal opinion on my part.
The mods certainly won't be editing out its usage.
Nor, I fancy, will we be policing other expressions, like "witlesses", no matter how petty they may appear. Honestly, sometimes I have a good chuckle.
To be remembered is that this site is not for the dubs but primarily for those who've borne the brunt of its heinous ways. We certainly hope that in being a haven for them, that onlooking JWs may be impacted too. Many are indeed 'honest hearted' but have been blinded to the real "Truth™".
also struggle with people defining Wts as mind controlling cult... because I can clearly see were the scriptorial origins of the doctrines of Wts were drawn from either directly or as logical constructs. some of the eviliest things you assign to Wts have very well defined scriptorial roots...i'e Disfellowship/shunning and whether you like it or not the blood issue, the blood scriptures exist even if they shouldn't have been applied to transfusions (i'll be honest i still struggle with this and may always do, if i were a governing body member i would change this to allow blood under life-threatening circumstances on the principle that jesus allowed that it was lawful to save a life on the sabbath), fornication, homosexuality, adultery, Evangelising, Even assigning their faith as the only true one (this one done by NT writers with christianity and OT writers with being jews) and more importantly these are all things that until recently most christian faiths had in common in observing them in their own conceptualised ways, That I or anyone can see all this makes me dismiss the whole cult label as one too easily applied, cults have histories of secrecy involving doctrines/teachings etc which is in direct contrast to Wts having everything in full view, as anyone who has read the endless wts back copies ahem cough Blondie Cough lol
I think from this lies your real problem in not clearly seeing the falsehood of what the WTS portrays. It certainly is not true that their doctrines and practices are Bible-based. Far from it! Rather they are the distortion of what the Bible states in order to support the control of an organisation, whether you wish to call it a cult or not.
I'm sorry you're upset by it but please stop and think why you are upset? I believe another poster has raised the same point.
Cheers, Ozzie

It's got "fake" written all over it.
More like something a 20 year old might write.
BTW in the English translation I see cuss words edited with asterisks but I don't readily see that in the "original" Spanish.

G'day geevee,
It's been a while, eh? Sorry, probably my fault; I confess to not being a good email or letter writer!
Anyway, you're right about the funerals instruction. From my recollection (so it must be more than ten years ago) it was in a letter to BOE downunder. They claimed that having the casket in the KH drew too much attention to the person! Yeah, like why the ***** were they at a funeral anyway? Duh!
They also repeated to the elders the instruction 'not to eulogise' the deceased but to spend most of the (short) funeral talk on "the Kingdom hope™".
I've got to add that in the past decade, the funerals I've attended (in churches and elsewhere) have been far more meaningful and i would think of much greater comfort and support to the bereaved.
Cheers, Ozzie
BTW did you know that you have a namesake (i.e. in cyberworld) who's in the ministry?
