Listener. Would you say the same thing regarding John Cedars and the whole CoC debacle? We cannot have one rule for one, and one rule for another!
I believe this is realistically a personal attack on two individuals credibility and nothing more.
this is big!
according to what they say if i'm correct an investigation was done back in 1998 in concerning what american companies invested money in to germany.
mike and kim state that a document they have attained shows a list of american firms that had invested into germany as late as 1943. on this list is non other then watchtower !!

We doubt that this could be true, yet we have seen undeniable truth that the watchtower does indeed invest in the huge profit making military industrial complex.

regional convention 2017 rumors.
theme: the bible and the divine name.. 3 dramas and 2 dramatic bible readings.. .
King asshat would be more appropriate!
other posts have mentioned the similarities between jws and n. korea with regards to uniformity of dress and grooming, backlash for criticism and being hard to escape.
just thought i'd add a couple more, thanks to quotes from david mikkelson and john delury, a n. korea analyst at yonsei university in seoul, s. korea:.
north korea is notorious for a lack of transparency.
With reference to Wikipedia. Try and edit anything to do with the watchtower. See how fast this will be removed. I'm sorry to say, although a very good source for information, Wikipedia can also fall into the propaganda trap.
i know that it must seem silly to ask, but my brother and his family think that the big a will arrive before they die.
i tried to explain to my brother that everyone else who has ever lived in the past has died and only jesus has [physically] rose from the dead.. it is amazing that anyone could buy that line.
what crazy cult culture that could make people believe such nonsense?!.
Is fisherman still active here?
or do they stay at hotels?
do most jws know who's on the governing body?
if one just showed up at church would he be immediately recognized?
The whole "slave class" is total bullshit. This is another perception that we once believed in, and active JW's still believe. In fact, as is the case with just about every teaching of the watchtower. It is in fact the opposite. The lower you are in the ranks, the more you are a slave. Although we were led to believe that the higher you are in the org, the more you are a slave.
You will never see a member of the GB in coach class on a plane, nor will you ever see any of them "bunking" at a JW's dwellings.
Although, I think the CO still bunks at a JW's dwelling. However, in order to have the "privilege" of this, one has to be of a high spiritual standing. There is nothing, and I mean nothing that proves this organisation are footstep followers of Jesus's.

Perhaps this should be titled: similarities to our perception of North Korea. We only get to hear of North Korea though our mainstream media outlets. You know, the same ones who have lied repeatedly regarding the condition of Hilery Clinton. The same msm that reported that Russia had been banned from the Olympics for "state sponsored doping," yet, in the last few days, there have been leaked reports proving such people as the Williams sisters (incidentally professed JW's) and other western athletes have been taking drugs. Oh but this is met with anger by the msm!
Sorry, but I choose not to believe anything that our western mainstream media says, as most of it amounts to propagandist fluff!
i'd love to see you're favorite wt illustrations/photo's that they think are fine to print - but are actually kind of creepy/wierd.. .
here's my three fave from my book of bible stories (yes, a book for children!)..
man gets his head nailed into the floor with a tent pin by a good jehovah worshipper:.
^^^^BOOBIES!!!^^^^
WTF! The serpent has a hand! Wouldn't this technically be a lizard and not a snake then?!
just read a quote:.
"people want to ban pokemon go in places of worship, because they are sick of people coming inside chasing after imaginary beings".
Hahaha that made my Tuesday morning. It would sound even better if this was in a KH.
Actually, I think the GB should capitalise on this craze, instead of Pokamon creatures, why not have demons. The more demons you destroy, the better your chance of making it to the kingdoom.
The rules are simple, you need to be on field service at the time, and you can count time whilst Hunting those householders down, all the while battling those horrible demons that are waiting around every corner to spoil your day.
so in an effort to relieve some pressure here are what i term the low-lites of yesterday's assembly that i had to endure for the sake of family still in and my progressing fade.
apologies in advance for being pretty long winded.. these may not all be the actual words used, but the ones i use are close, and they pretty well say what was said from the platform.. right off the bat in the opening prayer the praises of the governing body were spoken.
thanking the g.b.
^^^^huh???^^^^
