Could it be possible the local Elders acted on their own accord? Is it possible they made the decision to "no-show" by themselves and somehow bucked Brooklyns direction?
The Pope (just wondering)
well we did it, 45 people were present for the first candle light vigil for silentlambs around the world.
holly and heather berry were there along with many other victims who told stories, sung songs, and recited poems that were self composed to help them deal with abuse issues.
there were many touching moments where you could feel the heartbreak and pain suffered by the expressions made.

could someone explain to me how the generation doctrine changed?
i know that originally they thought it applied to the generation of 1914 and i heard that it changed.
i asked my dad to explain it to me but his explanation didn't make any sense to me - something like "a generation can last forever" ???
Hi Dawn
the explanation given in the Watchtower is total gobbledegook. It says something like any "generation" that sees the "sign" will be the "generation" which sees "Armageddon".
What a great preophecy!
However I was told by and elder and ex-Circuit Overseer that the "real" explanation is that Jesus prophecy only applied to the 1st Century and has no implication for our day.
At least that makes sense.....the WT explanation is pure and simple rubbish.
BUT....at least it got me FREE! Thats the WT that convinced me to Get OUT!!

The Sensitive Man
A woman meets a gorgeous man in a bar.
They talk, they connect, and they end up leaving together.
They get back to his place, and as he shows her around his apartment,
she notices that his bedroom is completely packed with sweet cuddly
teddy bears.
Hundreds of cute small bears on a shelf all the way along the floor,
cuddly medium-sized ones on a shelf a little higher, and huge enormous
bears on the top shelf along the wall.
The woman is surprised that this guy would have a collection of teddy
bears, especially one that's so extensive, but she decides not to
mention this to him, and actually is quite impressed by his sensitive
side.
She turns to him... they kiss... and then they rip each other's clothes off and go to bed.
After an intense night of passion with this sensitive guy, they are
lying there together afterwards, the woman rolls over and asks,
smiling, "How was it for you?"
The man says, "Help yourself to any prize from the bottom shelf"

A nun was sitting with her Mother Superior chatting.
"Mother Superior, I used some horrible language this week and feel
absolutely terrible about it."
"When did you use this awful language?" asked the elder.
"Well, I was golfing and hit an incredible drive that was going to go
280 yards, but it struck a phone line over the fairway and fell straight
down to the ground after only 100 yards."
"And that's when you swore?"
"No, Mother," says the nun. "After that, a squirrel ran out of the
bushes and grabbed my ball in its mouth and began to run away."
"And THAT'S when you swore?" asked the Mother Superior.
"Well, no," says the nun. "You see, as the squirrel was running, an
eagle came down out of the sky, grabbed the squirrel in his talons and
began to fly away!"
"Is THAT when you swore?" asked the amazed elder nun.
"No. As the eagle carried the squirrel away in its claws, it flew near the green and the squirrel dropped my ball."
"Did you swear THEN?" asked Mother Superior impatiently.
"No, because the ball fell on a big rock, bounced over the sand trap,
rolled onto the green and stopped about six inches from the hole."
The two nuns were silent for a moment.
Mother Superior sighed, "You missed the f***king putt, didn't you?

so we know the jw`s can`t masturbate,what is there stance on wet dreams?
we know that they occur naturally and are unavoidable.are they to tell the elders that they are having them?
do they practice mind control before going to sleep to avoid this pleasurable experience?
Mister Biggs: No, its where I keep my supply of condoms!!
And this is how it all started!

His Popeness
one of the cornerstones of the watchtower society's claims about the 1918 trial of joseph f. rutherford and seven other co-defendants, is that the trial was a travesty of justice, where the defendants were railroaded off to prison.. to make their point, the society has repeatedly stated that joseph rutherford and his fellow defendants were "exonerated" of all charges, and subsequently released from prison fully vindicated.
the society also attributed this 'victory' to jehovah's hand in matters, restoring the symbolic 'two witnesses' spoken of in revelation, and thereby, reactivating the kingdom preaching work.. what actually transpired is that the convicted defendants filed a petition for a "writ of error.
" (trial transcript, pages 1-10, parts 1-30 ) the writ of error was allowed by the trial court, judge howe, and granted by the district court judge chatfield, whom the society earlier objected to and had removed from their trial, because they felt he would not be fair to them.. what does this mean?
Could someone with access to the WT CD be able to find all the quotes where it says Rutherford was "EXONERATED", and post the hits here?
Thanks!

well, next to jesus of course, was none other than our churches dear founder, the bebearded c t russell.. do you doubt this claim?.
well just look at the gushy praise of ct in "the finished mystery".
through st. john the lord jesus revealed the fact that the church would be developed during seven distinct periods, or epochs; and that for each of these epochs he would have a special angel, or messenger, to serve the other members of the body...the great master laid special emphasis on the importance of the messenger to the seventh, or laodicean, period of the church, saying that such an one would be "a faithful and wise servant, whom his lord would make ruler over all his household, to give them meat in due season.".
When Ezekiel sees another doing something it usually signifies another than Pastor Russell doing it, but may signify Pastor Russell seeing himself, or the Ezekiel class. The Ezekiel prophecy types and symbolizes Pastor Russell or the Reformer class seeing Pastor Russell or the Reformer class or some member of that class doing the thing typed or symbolized.
Isn't this straight from the script of The Life of Brian??
"Hey, whatever happened to the Reformer Class of Judea?"
"Thats him over there. SPLITTER!!!"

"And Jehovah, we ask you kindly to help Mummy accept the Truth, otherwise if she doesn't we know you will kill her like a dog by stabbing a huge sword into her, probably through her genitals, at Armageddon, which is coming any day now......."
wouldn't it be fair to say that early christians were.
obsessed with the name and person of jesus?
wish to deny that?.
Check the 2002 District Assembly program someone posted recently - not one talk with Jesus or Christ in the title.
Its just Jehovah Jehovah Jehovah ad infinitum.
They have surely built a cult around this word....
What do you call someone who ignores Christ?
I think the word is Anti-Christ, isn't it?
