NINE REVERSALS IN JULY 15TH WATCHTOWER
by The Searcher inhere's what i scavenged from the most notable watchtower i've ever read.
it may be far more significant than many people realise!.
and before anyone whinges that one or two are 'old light', the fact remains that all of them are rejecting what was once 'inspired truth' from the revered fds, and disagreeing with any one of these (now current) falsehoods would have resulted in your "stoning to death" and shunning by all whom you loved.

WT's 2 BOE Letters Flip-Flop!
by JW GoneBad ineveryone knows about the recent across-the-board okay to use electronic devices in jw worship.
few, though, know about how not long ago it was considered a taboo.. first, there was that dc talk a couple of years back where they nearly demonized simply the ownership of a smart phone, ipads (i phones, blackberries, etc) let alone the use of them at meetings.
they brought out that they were a waste of time, expensive and that they exposed a christian to satan's world on the internet.

I see a bunch of Wack-a-Mole rules coming.
With more and more attendees holding I-Pads, I-Phones, laptops, etc. someone is bound to pull up some porn. This will be noticed by a shocked attendent or elder, [ the shock will not be the porn, they probably have viewed it themselves, numerous times, but seeing it in a Kingdom Hall] elders will frantically analyze the problem, letters will sent to the society and new Wack-a-Mole Rules will start flowing.
Should each device be inspected?
Are they connected to the internet?
Should only those with at least 10 hours a month be allowed to use them?
Will single brothers be barred from using them? Et cetara, Et cetera, Etcetara
Yes sir. WACK-A-MOLE RULES !

It would be a good time to help them fully understand how you feel. You could reveal to them some of your innermost thoughts and desires.
Such as:
" I have a incredible desire to seeing you flying down the front stairs with an imprint of my size 10 on your left buttocks. "

Years ago, in Calgary, Alberta, a brother [who previously was a Special Pioneer and elder] and myself entered into a business arrangement.
The agreement was that all profits for the service we provided would be split evenly, 50/50. For many months the arrangement worked out well. Equal work for equal pay. Being as this particular 'brother' had an incredible gift of the gab [even more than myself] I was quite happy for him to be the 'front man', dealing with the customers and collecting the payments. From January to September all went well, however he did pull off a number of shady maneuvers, which caused me to raise my eyebrows, but WTH we were making money.
The last job we did was completed in September, to the customers satisfaction. Payment was due ten days after and nothing seemed out of sorts. I had told my partner that I would be returning to British Columbia to live, at some point, and this seemed like a good time. He was expecting it, so no surprises. We agreed that he would forward a cheque for 50% to my B.C. address.
Come two weeks later I telephoned him to ask about the money. "I still haven't been paid" he said. I thought it strange because we had done numerous jobs for this customer and he ALWAYS PAID ON TIME.
Two more weeks and, "I still haven't been paid."
Two more weeks and, "I still haven't been paid."
Two more weeks and, "I still haven't been paid."
In November I had to attend a wedding in Saskatchewan [ for you from the Untied States, that's a province in Canada] and decided to drive through Calgary to meet with my ex-partner and ask him WTH is going on? How are we going to force our customer to pay?
Anyways, I finally get smart, FINALLY, and the night before we are supposed to meet I phone the customer. " Why haven't you paid the bill?"
"What?" he said. Actually he screamed it into the phone. "WHAT?" he said. " I paid that bill last September." He told me to wait a minute, which I did, all the while thinking WTH? Two minutes later he came back with the cancelled cheque, from September. First I felt like a total idiot, and then I got confused and then I got angry, REALLY ANGRY !!!
I will not go into how the story unfolded but it did not go well for him.
Anyway, I googled his name the other day and I found out that, right now, he is in charge of the building fund for a kingdom hall project in a major city in Canada. He has his hands on the money, RIGHT NOW !!!
For those who don't know what a 'Special Pioneer' is they are like a Pioneer but only 'Special'. I don't know what the hour requirement is now BUT when HE 'Special Pioneered' the requirement was 150 hours a month. 150 HOURS A MONTH. You would think that such a person would have a 'heaping help'in' of Jehovahs spirit.
Now this is all very interesting, as I have information that I am sure no one else does, as this incident I related took place many years ago.
Has he changed?
Is the money safe?
What do you think?
