  Thanks for this info. The article contains the SUPER SECRET INFO of when the big move from Brooklyn to Warwick is to take place (2017), something that the borg doesn't openly reveal to the R&F. Rather, we poor peons have to go to the world for it!

  Thanks for both this new and the old post. How ready faithful borg members are to admit in general terms that the organization is imperfect. But don't ever ask for specifics, examples of such imperfection, and most of all, in what ways they are wrong today. You will certainly be shot!

  How different from the New Testament where Paul reproves Peter before them all and then reports it in a letter to the R&F in Galatia! Coud you imagine the borg following the Bible in that? HA!——yes, it could only happen via imagination!

  How unbiblical they are...

  Maybe he just wanted to take a brief walk outside early in the morning? I do that sometimes while still in my sleeping attire...

  Don't hold your breath waiting for an apology.

  this is true everywhere but it seems especially true with the witnesses.

  they seem to feel that since god forgives them, you should too, so you end up with these pathologically rude, crude people.. "get over it" is what my wife says if i tell her about some incident where i couldn't believe my ears.

  but i have to remind myself that she is also like that.. but she's right, too, because who wants to spend the rest of their life as a victim?

  When I think of all the blessings that I've gotten from leaving, no longer having to put up with their crappy behavior has got to be at the top.

  I remember how one brother put it to me when I was active: "Let me love them from a distance!" I found so many of them absolutely infantile when it comes to basic human decency...

  Is it VITAL that we recognize the faithful slave?

  jw gonebad made this comment in another post:.

  get a load of this audacious and brassy statement by the self-appointed fds in par 2 of todays lesson:.

  it is vital that we recognize the faithful slave.

  One of their fairly new teachings contains the germ that would undo their insistence on recognizing the GB as essential. According to their current interpretation of the sheep and goats parable, those who are sheep are NOT the great crowd. Therefore, those sheep are given life without recognizing who Jesus Christ's brothers are and joining the borg (even as the gospel of Matt so reads).

  Maybe they should have stuck with the old Feddie Franz interpretation, as anti-contextal as it was. At least it kept the you've-got-to-be-in-the-ark view. As somebody here noted in a different thread, this current sheep and goats parable interpretation has opened up a potential can of worms...

  Annual Meeting Instructions to MS / Elders

  by jw07 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  have any elders or ministerial servants here recieved any specific instructions regarding the annual meeting?

  as an ms all i have been told to do is to arrive early to "await further instruction due to the sensitive nature of my assignment".

  ironically all i can imagine after hearing that a few times is dispensing cyanide laced kool aid to attendees.

  The christian school for married couples

  by wannaexit in

  the new in thing among the rank and file is to strive to get to the christian school for married couple.

  this appears to substitute the school of gilead.

  it's a 2 month long event and after graduation , couples are sent somewhere where the need is great in their own country.

  wannexit, Thanks for the share. I can't always get such info from those I know who are still in.

  slimboyfat,

  " Maybe the GB should given a stipend for only one year and then made to fend for themselves. Would prove interesting."

  They are considered so holy that many of the R&F would give them personal gifts to an extent even greater than they do now. Got to be nice to Christ's brothers!

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  we will be putting our beloved pet of 13 years to rest soon.

  is there a wt policy, written or unwritten on what could be done with the ashes after cremation?

  i assume it's basically the same for pets as with humans but i'm not real clear on what that is.
