Rutherford, on the other hand, probably has a chubby harder than his dessicated corpse.
Rutherford would rather have another drink or seven.
OMG JW Sea Org
I still think JW's and Scientology should meld. Jehovah's Scientists - Imagine them going door to door preaching about Body Thetans, Sea Org Pioneers and Bible Auditing.
are the governing body of the wt wickedly smart with extremely high iq or are they leaders of the wt because they were at the right place at the right time.
(in other words, pure luck )-think lottery.
ive seen them talk in jwtv and you can never convince anyone in the whole world that these guys are in the same category as someone smart or cunning like jim simons who founded renaissance technologies or bill gates.
Are the GB very intelligent men with higher than average IQ? Or are they stupid men who were put in their position by sheer “LUCK”
Its that rare combination of persistence and organizational lackeyism. Above average intelligence is not a requirement. A bit of luck is also involved but most importantly you have to kiss the organizations ass until its nice and shiny and as a reward you'll eventually be promoted.
death teaches that nothing belongs to us.
no other teachings have been conveyed so clearly, powerfully, and globally.
yet this is the one that is not taken seriously by people in general.
"It is a basic teaching of the BK that having sex with your wife is bad."
"Life after death is as improbable as sex after marriage." - Madelain Kahn as Mrs. White
my dad doesn't like the fact that i've come to accept the theory of evolution.
he always accuses me of unquestioningly "buying into" what scientists say and says i don't apply critical thinking to the problem.
so now i've decided to tackle his claim at the roots.
I am a 33rd level Scottish right Grand Wizard Uniformitarianist. We have lodges all over and Wednesdays is rib night. All are welcome. Dress code: Black tie and tails (male and female), white gloves and an apron.
So which is it, according to the Society? Is the earth billions of years old and therefore uniformitarianism is true, or did a global flood cover the earth a few thousand years ago and uniformitarianism is a lie?
The universe is Billions of years old but Jehovah only decided to start doing things to planet earth last week.
So before the flood carbon 14 dating tests would have given different readings to tests done after the flood, yada yada yada.

Iconoclastic,
Have you read Steve Hassan's 'Combatting cult mind control'?
Its a staple among the ex-jw community.
for people who already are bedazzled by the current stream of information about watchtower / jw.org real estate planning, renovation and the emergency stop on the building programma called out, i found today that the renovation design of the (impressive!
) toledo buildings for the watchtower real estate staff, is designed by a state of the art designer.

i just wanted to say that my dear 89 year old mom is terminally ill and will soon pass.
she is on morphine and hanging on.
she has been a devout witness for about 60 years and a wonderful mother.
Sorry to hear your mother is dying. Its good that you have had a great friendship wit her throughout her life. She must be very happy about that.
there is a visitor brother in town and from what ive been told, he has been a missionary for many years and they were having a get together for him.
i took my mom to that get-together yesterday and stayed for a few minutes.
i heard a group around a table with the visitor brother talking about how hard it was getting in the world with so many distractions and that many of the brothers were falling into the trap and leaving jehovahs organization.
Well if the Watchtower membership went down to 1 million, 7 out of 8 people around that table would be among those who left. So perhaps they were subconsciously clapping at the prospect of being free.
