  Strange situation

  by Gorbatchov in

  hi folks,.

  the rank and file is now in a strange situation.. it is clear that the jw leadership is in for a huge change.

  the type / anti type change makes clear that they make a u-turn.. it's clear that with this changes the current doctrine are temporary.

  @ Watcher Unfortunately YOUR reality is not THEIR reality. As Gorbachov so eloquently puts it

  " It's clear that a truth that can be a untruth tomorrow is no truth."

  If you claim to be a witness, then by default you are expected to believe ALL the truths as explained by the ORG. That is what association with a cult implies. That being the case, if there is a God and he is the ultimate judge, he will judge you based on your being a Witness. There is no middle ground. You identify yourself as such, so you will be judged as such. THAT is one of the main reasons I have stepped away from the absurdity. Many will claim that people who leave are arrogant cause they don't accept the direction. I say, many who leave are humble cause they can not accept falsehoods taught as truth. They can not close their eyes to the arrogance of the leadership. They can not close their minds to what is logical and understandable.

  Should I accept a position on the Governing Body

  as far as technology goes, i'd be surprised if the society doesn't capitalize on "podcast" style talks that will be played at local kh's.

  it would take the crunch off the elder shortage and make sure the message is uniform.. .

  Evidence of life after death?

  "experts currently believe that the brain shuts down within 20 to 30 seconds of the heart stopping beating and that it is not possible to be aware of anything at all once that has happened.. but scientists in the new study heard said they heard compelling evidence that patients experienced real events for up to three minutes after this had happened and could recall them accurately once they had been resuscitated.".

  how are people having "experinces" while there is no evidence of heart or brain activity?.

  The problem with understanding what happens AFTER one dies is that you have to die to understand it. Someone who has a "near death" experience isn't really dead. So, their recollections of what happens are not death. Is there life after death? I'm not dying to find out, but when I die I will find out.

  @ watcher- since when has the "info" come in that order for a Witness? The ORG has always taught tht one can not understand the Bible without their direction. yes, they actually said that.

  @Gorbachov

  You are right on Brother! Right on!

  Remember when your cellular phone provider charged you for calls and messaging and data usage was unlimited?

  That was marketing genius!!! People curbed their phone calls and messaging but went ballistic with data use, internet, YouTube..etc.

  After a few months however, they changed it...people were hooked on data. HOOKED! and then they changed it. Then they started giving people unlimited calls and text, but started charging enormous fees for data usage. Freaking Marketing Geniuses!

  Now, people CAN NOT live without their internet on their phones.

  In comparison, your point is right on! Reinvent it. Make them dependent on it. Make them worship the PRIVILEGE to be part of an organization where the FDS is grandpa and just a click away. THEN...make the changes.

  You got it brother....By the way, thanks for taking down that wall!

  A special intercom system is to be installed in all new construction of JW's allowing the FDS in heaven to communicate directly with the newly chosen "princes" after Harmageddon. This will allow all new construction to address the spiritual needs of countless millions of survivors of the Great Tribulation and help to usher in the era of the resurrection. Great investment indeed!

  jesus, mark 9-40 (nwt).

  the jehovahs witnesses assert exclusivity.

  that is, they are the only true christian faith.

  It;s nice to be part of a club, especially where you are lead to believe that you are special. Its no different than the popular groups at school. Typically, however, from my experience, most of the people that belong to the popular groups go on to lead unhappy lives....
