  The clown factory at Warwick

  by Sour Grapes in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  it just amazes me how the clown factory at the borgs basilica in warwick could produce 8 clown popes that act like self-licking ice cream cones and the jdubs take them so seriously.

  if the popes said that they were going to have a bible signing session at a king dumb hall 8 hours away that so many jdubs would make the trip the town would be swamped with traffic.. you know what is truly sad is when during jdub public prayers, the governing body gets more praise than the head of the congregation.

  all jesus gets is the final "in jesus name.".

  Before the GB started their TV self-agrandizement programme we didn't have any idea as to who they were or what they looked like.

  I recall one brown noser circuit overseer who said from the circuit assembly platform that publishers did not need to know who the GB were, all they had to do was to obey them!

  That's when several people in the row behind where we were sitting said loudly "no wonder people think that this is a cult."

  The penny didn't drop with me until much later. Cult. Cult. Cult. Cult.

  #100 Women

  by Lost in the fog in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  in the uk the bbc has been celebrating the role of women who have made a difference to the world.

  they have focused on 100 women in particular who have taken a lead in various professional jobs.

  isn't it sad that we'll never see a jehovah’s witness woman appearing on such a list because of the misogynistic attitude within their organisation.

  I can remember when the paperback version of the young people ask book was released and the chapter on pornography had a picture of youths looking at their mobile phones.

  One of our elders was amazed saying "I didn't know you could view pornography via a mobile phone."

  We were not sure if it was a revelation to him because he'd never done it this way before or what.

  When I used to present public talks the biggest problem I had was trying to get my head around the sometimes incomprehensible lines of reasoning to try and tie the scripture verse to the application. I think that was when I began to wake up.

  I remember an elder who used to quip that you could prepare one talk and change the title to whatever you were asked to present. His reasoning was the outlines all began with how dire the world was, the kingdom was the only hope, so pray, come to meetings, and go out on the work. End to applause by audience who'll have forgotten most of it by the time the Watchtower study ended anyway.
