please click the louis armstrong video and read.. dear jehovah i approach you in jesus name this is what i want to say:.
yesterday i tossed my farvorite toy "sparlock the warrior wizard" in the garbage can because my mommy who is one of your witnesses said it would make you sadly depressed.
i beg for your forgiveness in jesus name, if i had known before hand i would have never excepted this gift from johnny my worldly friend who mommy said was most likely going to be destroyed at armageddon because his parents are worldly and make you very sad because they are not jehovah's witnesses like my parents.. and after thinking the matter over i decided to burn sparlock just to make sure you forgive me, i'm so so sorry i made you sad please don't take my life at armageddon.
Dear Jehovah:
One more thing... Can I please keep my yellow airplane which you already know is based on dive bombers of World War II like the Corsair F4U and the Junkers ju-87? I know my toy airplane represents wide-spread genocide and destruction, but at least it doesn't represent "magic", right?
In Jesus name.
Amen
a lot of the rank and file at the meetings seem to think some of the changes make more sense but what is the most damning of the changes that may help to wake to some up.
some thing the rank and file will not first see or understand as a big deal?.
The Rank and file are trained not to sweat the details... This is easily achieved with the WT's brain-washing trifecta: 1) Proverb 4:18 - We can lie whenever we want or make shit up as we go along, because... 2) Micah 7:7 - Jehovah will clear up our lies in due time. Besides... 3) Matthew 24:14 - Who else in preaching the "Good News"?
this new couple moved in a couple weeks ago.
special/regular pioneers, he's an elder from bethel.
i think he might have been a co at one time.
They send troubleshooters when the total hours reported drop or when contributions start to fall off. Looks like the brothers with consistent meeting attendance in your congo aren't picking up the slack left by the "weak" dubs... your congo COBE must be shitting his pants by now...
I was told about 2 years ago that the new "unwritten" JC procedure for this scenario is something like...
1) Hit the parent(s) hard with guilt-inducing Bible texts to make them realize the import of their error.
2) If the parent(s) start to cry and/or express deep remorse, a private reproof will be sufficient. In the rare occasion that no remorse is evident, please contact th Legal Department for direction.
If i recall correctly, this was to be hand-written in one of the wide margins of the secret elder's manual (Shepherding the Flock) while attending one of the elder schools... bur I could be wrong
the list of photos is long, some are very arrogant like "you go to church and say your a christian, that's like saying i have a motorcyle in my garage and that makes me a evil knivel!!
" what is the common thread of all these photos, head out to the site and see if you find anything funny.
my funny bone is not working, might be for you?
The one about the pioneer stroll is interesting... basically, they're subconsciously admitting to themselves that there really is no "sense or urgency" amongst the rank and file...
But you're right... This humor is extremely painful...
it sucked.
the co said that the term, " the truth " means " truthful understanding of the scriptures.
" he also said that the truth does not change.
Truthful Understanding of the Scriptures? Now I've heard it all...
As opposed to "untruthful understanding" of the Scriptures? WTF does that even mean... These guys are such poor wordsmiths... they're not even trying to be creative with their BS anymore...
firstly, thanks to atlantis for the answer sheet he just provided.... can you believe the unmitigated gall of the wt in providing this answer to question 3?
3. what did paul mean when he wrote that women should keep silent in the congregations?
(1 cor.
Wha happened... did you also notice the other "weasel" phrase? "as was the custom in that part of the world". So not only do these clowns in Brooklyn pretend to be proficient in the ancient Greek language, they would also like people to believe that they're anthropology professors as well. They really do make shit up as they go along, don't they?

Can you believe the unmitigated gall of the WT in providing this answer to question 3? :
3. What did Paul mean when he wrote that women should “keep silent in the congregations”? (1 Cor. 14:34) [Sept. 9, w12 9/1 p. 9, box] Paul advised not only women but all who had the gift of tongues and prophecy to “keep silent” when another believer was speaking. (1 Cor. 14:27-30, 33) Likely some Christian women were so enthusiastic about their newfound faith that they interrupted the speaker to ask questions, as was the custom in that part of the world. To avoid such disorder, Paul encouraged them to “question their own husbands at home.” (1 Cor. 14:35)
30 minutes ago i just got off the phone with some important players in this case, and some things were relayed to me concerning a lot of details of the outcome of the last two days of court.
i am passing this on.
cynthia hampton, one of the main players in the candace conti case (and a close friend of 28 years), just informed me of a further, far more powerful move by the state of california against the watch tower bible and tract society of new york, inc.. by order of the superior court of the state of california - county of alameda (see documents below), until the watch tower's appeal, which won't begin until august 13th and will take up to two years to settle due to due process of law, has forbidden the watch tower to sell any more of its $1 billion in assets in the borough of brooklyn until the appeals case is finished, to assure they won't shelter their monies in the light of this most huge and devastating sexual abuse scandal ever to hit the watch tower society, and perhaps any other single-victim lawsuit.
So can they sell their properties or not?

This was over 6 years ago... the next Kingdom News (KN 38) won't be out until November of this year. It takes them that long to write such a small periodical? I don't get it...
