this isn't a joke and i don't post here often but i had a conversation with my grandma i found comical and thought i'd share.
my uncle lives far away and my grandma wants to go visit him but says she is afraid of the demons in his rental home.
she is afraid a demon might follow her home.
Gah, sorry Spectre! Clumsy fingers here, hit dislike when meant to hit like!
Simon, can you make those like/dislike features be toggled on/off...??
And Sir82, exactly! I've never understood that either about why the demons, with all their power & cunning, etc., would do such weird things like that. Maybe to make people whose minds are already under cult-control to think that they're crazy - or not crazy! Ha !
someone who is not familiar with jw none sense would think, are you.
serious, a fortune cookie.
is there a scripture that say you will be destroyed when.
Ha. So funny. As a totally indoctrinated dubbie, I believed that fortune cookies were evil objects of divination- fearsome things straight from Satan to lead us astray. They were terrible and loathsome things indeed. I would be shocked that some JWs could not see the great danger in them.
Hoo boy. I do shake my head at it all now.....
quotes from the new david splane "1900 years" video:.
"the catholic church took the preaching work more seriously than the reformers... who brought the gospel into china?
... it was the catholic church.".
Ugh... I just had a hideous mental image of Splane....
Simon, my apologies, feel free to delete this next comment -- but I just had a bile-inducing picture of Splane, standing, eyes closed, murmuring, "Yes, that's it... Swallow it... That's right... Swallow all of it, darling..."
Oh god. Okay. Did I say I'm heading out for some damn sunshine & fresh air? Much needed...!

Oh, yes, and I meant to say that by these kind, gentle, reasonable words, said by him, that doesn't it just show Jehovah's love and reasonableness? And how we mustn't judge? So loving.... And we all so imperfect, after all.
Yet don't you dare question us! And follow everything we say or else you will lose your whole family and friends and be forever shunned and considered as dead until you acknowledge our supremacy and authority and totally believe our claim that God is speaking to ONLY US and that only we, through divine communication and approval, have the truth! (fineprint: truth subject to change at any moment, and which you must also totally and unquestionably accept!)
agh! Off for sunshine!

Maybe, Faye, it's because they're becoming more and more like the Catholic Church themselves! Ugh, it irks me to no end, their duplicity and double talk!!
I really think Splane is the new Franz. I think he's the one behind the new songs and much of the new doctrine and new light. I could be wrong on this, of course. Who the heck knows.
But he's really big on himself and I think he has an even more arrogant sneer and evil eyes than Morris & Lett put together. I've been watching him closely and he's really a piece of work. He was our circuit overseer for awhile and at the time I thought he was fabulous, so spiritual, so loving, so earnest, blah blah blah. His wife a quiet woman in the background. He got all the glory and honour and applause. Now he gets it on a much larger scale, and I think it's going to his head. To all of their heads, actually! Jerks. Pompous bastards.
Bah! I must get out and enjoy some sunshine.

statements from the watchtower publications show that the scriptural governing body did not exist until 1971!.
watchtower, 01/15/01, pages 28-31:.
these questions were answered at the annual meeting held on october 1, 1971. on that occasion, one of the speakers pointed out that the governing body of the faithful and discreet slave preceded the watch tower bible and tract society of pennsylvania by hundreds of years.
They haven't a friggin clue. They are making it up as they go. They are just mere mortal men, stumbling along in their ways, as lost and confused and not having all the answers as anybody, except that they pretend they do have all the answers.
Bumbling arrogant fools, making rules for everybody and they haven't got a friggin clue about who they are even supposed to be, except that they want to be leaders of men.
Oh boy, it's really hard not to swear on this forum sometimes. I find I turn the air blue most frequently when I talk about the GB and this stupid religion/cult.
as most of you are aware there is a money issue inside of jw land.
they could be running out of money or they're just wanting more.
either way, they are making it appear as a funds issue to motivate individuals to donate more.
