Bit of a rant - WT twisting Jesus’ words, (to whom shall we go/ where should we go), etc.
by Muddy Waters inin wt, november 2018 study edition, the wt/ gb again plant the idea about never leaving the religion when they change jesus’ words, as ray franz pointed out in his book, “crisis of consience”, from: “lord, whom shall we go away to?” to, “where else could we go?
?” - as though teachings of decency and love toward others should be found in them only, and in their special places, and not in a person’s own home, or school, or charitable organization, or having hearts filled with love and graciousness, and empathy, compassion.. toward others.... .
they take an ideology (the bible and jehovah) and then make decrees (and commands and doctrines of men) and then bind up heavy loads.... they become pharisees, measuring the tenth of the dill and the mint and the cumin.... and hmm, something else.... ?.

God, Love, and Marriage vs. WTBTS dogma - when this one scripture is so plain....!
by Muddy Waters ingot to thinking about this the other day.... you know how the wts uses a scripture from ecclesiastes (ecc.4:12) to say how important it is to have jehovah in your marriage -- that a two-fold cord is easily broken or pulled apart, but a "three-fold cord is not easily broken".
they then go on to define exactly who and what jehovah is and what exactly this love & marital arrangement means and how you properly show and demonstrate it, and blah blah blah and all the things jehovah (through his organization) says are so necessary and important for a happy marriage (from their special bias and agenda, the preaching work!
- and meeting attendance & preparation, and studying the bible together and the husband taking the lead, and all that jw filler which they define and obligate for others to do -- they define every term and behavior and expectation to the nth degree.. then it occurred to me, that there's that scripture which says: "god is love.".

This invention reminds me of Jehovah's Celestial Chariot on the move
by Muddy Waters inlol.
this little flying & land machine reminded me of "jehovah's chariot" on the move.
except instead of wheels within wheels & millions of eyeballs, this has helicopter rotor things in the wheels.

Ironic Day Text from Mon., Nov. 23/15 about helping others....
by Muddy Waters inwe've had a few threads these past couple days about how the wt does not take care of its own, how there's no love in the congregations, how they do no charitable works (supposedly because they don't want to produce "rice christians"), and how they believe that in these last days, the literature is the most important thing people need today, this wonderful life-saving spiritual food.... right?
well, take a look at this recent day text:.

by Muddy Waters inthursday, october 1, 2015.
"in willingness i will sacrifice to you."ps.
certain sacrifices are fundamental for all true christians and are essential to our cultivating and maintaining a good relationship with jehovah.

May 2019 Broadcast - Country Music song
by Muddy Waters ingood grief.
had to stop at the end of the song (about 30 minutes in), with much forwarding.
so far it’s been a half hour about anxiety and worry and burdens - heavy, boring, depressingly blah (nothing new there), with the magic jah making everything better.
