Which Governing Body Member Did Works Greater Than The Apostles?
by Bubblegum Apotheosis inwe are carefully guided with the printed resources of the watchtower to come to the conclusion, the governing body are jesus christ's brothers who are taking the lead over his domestics.
throughout the world, there might be annointed members that are living their life the way of the self-less christians of the first few centuries.. which member of the governing body has endured the foretold punishment and martyerdom, members of the great crowd and apostles have suffered by giving up their lives?
examples in poland, russia, africa, and other banned countries.

What Are You Looking For, Something That Makes Sense Of Kingdom Hall Conduct?
by Bubblegum Apotheosis ini know it's hard to challenge your beliefs you have held onto so long, what else is out there in this world, that makes sense?
once upon a time, we had a edge over the world, we had "game" but this is fading.
think about the talks you heard at the "one day, two-day or summer conventions", were you upbuilt and told how valuable you are?

Why Did Watchtower Leaders Think Organ Transplants Were Evil?
by Bubblegum Apotheosis inthe light is suppose to be progressive, moving us two steps forward, and hopefully none back.
jehovah does not test us, or try to trip us up with strange un-biblical teachings.
i can remember how the merits of avoiding blood, were in full swing during the heavy metal big haired days of the 1980s.. we were told how lucky we were, that we would not be contracting "hiv-aids", "hep-c" some other rare blood disorders, this made us look like we were ahead of the paradigm, this even made sense and we felt good about it.

Why Do You Believe Elders Have Special Spiritual Powers? To J.W.s visiting or droping by!
by Bubblegum Apotheosis into brothers and sisters passing by, a note to think about:.
your elders and ministerial servants are just men, not prophets, not appointed by holy spirit, they are human beings like you.. you attribute or impute some quality to us that does not exist, we are not any close to god than you are.
the training we received did not prepare us for the kinds of situations we were thrown into.

The Watchtower Taught Jesus Inspected His Domestics In 1917-1919, They Claim He Cleaned His Organization, Right?
by Bubblegum Apotheosis inwe were taught in early wts publications our lord jesus christ inspected all religions throughout the earth.
all religions failed to meet our master's expectations, except this little group in atlanta's federal prison.
if jesus took a hand's on approach with these members, why has he not kept the modern day jehovah's witness organization clean?

How Do You Deal With The Shunning You Receive From "Captive" Witnesses?
by Bubblegum Apotheosis ini am liking don's term "captive to a concept" more and more, it explains so much about the mindset of average dubs.. to those who are being activily shunned, how does it affect you when you see former friends and family, do the sideway's crab-walk to get away?
you are not alone, shunning is happening to weaker witnesses in the congregations, this practice is not sanctioned by the watchtower society, this trait is straight from satan the devil, it pure evil and cruel!
as i post, this new trait is being taught to the power player's apprentices, teaching them how to do the "weak witnesses exit stage left!

Why Do Introvert Elders Even Bother, What's Their Game?
by Bubblegum Apotheosis insomething that has troubled me for some time, why do introvert personalities reach out for the office of overseer?.
this personality does not help with shepherding the flock (other brothers pick up their slack, their too shy for judicial committes), they are not upbuidling for the brothers and sisters (their long lost stuttering problem resurfaces when asked to call m.i.a.
congregation memebers) and they are useless for widows and orphans (i can't help little father-less davie, my online role playing games are all time consuming!

What Percentage Of Family/Friends Do You Miss?
by Bubblegum Apotheosis ini have not experienced "shunning" yet, i have observed jehovah's witnesses shunning members who are not disfellowshiped, i think this has to do with selfishness inheritant in this religion.
christianity is a religion of giving, jesus wanted his members to share their goods with people who could not return the favor.
he promised his father in heaven would repay generous hearts who looked out for father-less boys and widows.. fine and dandy, but in the real world, quid-pro-qou matters, returning meal for meal, gift for gift and party for party does maintain your social status in the congregation.
