in what is just the height of irony, watchtower warns us about propaganda, and accepting everything we hear/read.
yes, we should ignore those that try to stop us thinking critically as this watchtower article will now teach us.
reminds me of my time under Joseph Goebbels. who,
forbade, with severe punishment as a penalty, all listening to the outside, (even disabling radio sets), and swamp the populace with compulsory listening to repetitive slogans, buzz phrases. all promoting a 1000 year. reign. getting all his timing wrong too. bsw

how can material possessions be used to strengthen our friendship with god?
listener, yeah, I have personally been used in that free supporting capacity, but
I thought you offered insight into particulars that Jesus mentioned in the F&DS parable. like
Who is the F&DS that is keeping the sheep well shorn and fleeced? ha ha.
anyone from headquarters can give us a sneak preview of life with gods people and how it's going.
all members on here can encourage our future members to come out and taste what is good outside of wt control.
are there scandals in the wind ?.
New York State just inaugurated the new Tappan Zee bridge across the Hudson, a good escape route east from the wt compound.
the bottom line there is zero tolerance for any homosexual activity in jehovah’s holy organization.
so all known gays had been kicked out and disfellowshipped before i got to bethel and gays got kicked and disfellowshipped and disgraced when i was there.
sorry, i guess i meant most homosexuals were kicked out in disgrace.

Do not give to an organisation apparently approved by god ! proof ?:
paragraph 12, Mat. 19:21, cited. Jesus: --" give to the poor [not to the rich, legitimate temple then in operation] and you will have treasure in heaven---"
The strongest anti- wtorg donation statement of today's wt. by Jesus himself. so:
Give to the poor of your choice, starting with yourself. then you will have treasure in heaven and Earth. treasure Jesus' wisdom.

and do not forget the already foregone ice cream. What a bleak world of ideal watchtowerites,
Direct money transfer to headquarters is another step to deprive the local congregations of funds, to the dismay of those that control and might even profit from them,
so we know that by jw logic, the idea is that everyone who dies is acquitted of their sin and will get a resurrection in the "new world".
however, those directly destroyed by god, or at his command will not.
(for example, those destroyed in the flood.
Guesses ?
