Esse Quam Videri - you have a gift! You have an exquisite talent for dissembling and creating great, yet sharply accurate satire! I love your breakdown of Lett's speech. Are you a writer? If not, you're should be!

What the Governing Body found out when they ' did the math'
by Esse quam videri instephen lett may 2015 broadcast.
14:45 ... the governing body very much feels the urgency of accomplishing as much as we possibly can, in behalf of kingdom interests, knowing that the great day of jehovah is near....
... in an effort to inform you of the support that is needed for this great work, i have the following information to share.

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 !

when you were a JW what did you do with your fortune cookie?? LOL
by James Mixon insomeone 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.

Muddy Waters
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.....

David Splane: The Catholic Church brought the Gospel into China!

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.

They really are like pigs, aren't they. Gluttonous and devouring, even devouring the houses of widows.... And so Orwellian, more and more so as the days go by. I must read Animal Farm again. Orwell's "1984" is almost a perfect description of them, but so is Animal Farm. But Animal Farm is a sadder read for me, probably because he used such sweet, innocent, trusting animals..... much like the way the bOrg mis-uses such sweet, innocent, trusting children and people.... -

apparently it's retaliation and manipulation.. i wonder what they think about shunning df'd or da'd victims?.

Oooh, it would also be great to list ALLLL the reasons they said "excommunication" was a vile, hateful thing unscripturally practiced by the Catholic Church in a 1957 Awake article. Maybe that should be under a different post if anybody has access to that article? I am on my iPad but it is on my computer somewhere.... -

The Governing Body was Appointed in 1971, NOT 1919
by FusionTheism instatements 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.
