Srecko Sostar

what if pillow can be/would be second witness about your sins before judicial committee :)))))))))) 
 
 

Although Tokyo Bethel has found a way to deal with the situation.

THIS is how ADULTS  have conversations. (Think about it!)
THIS is why the Governing Body  NEVER, EVER, EVER serve ham sandwiches at Bethel !
 
 

This is all so incredibly FUNNY.
I know I should be outraged, but I just.... can't ... do it!
(slaps self in face several times ... but even THAT is funny!)
One thing we have to remember .... until we see the two ALLEGED full length, unedited videos ... AND have verified beyond a reasonable doubt that they were produced by the WTB&TS, and NOT UNTIL THEN .... we will have to assume ... and MUST ASSUME ... this is fake news.
It's STILL FUNNY, though, because I know the probability of it being real is very high ... I have seen the GB shoot themselves in the foot before ... and surprised at the effect, shoot themselves in the OTHER foot, just to be fair.
I sure hope for the sake of the Brotherhood's global reputation this is NOT real .... Outsiders know more about what is going on behind the scenes than the Brotherhood does ... and it's very, very cringeworthy.

Imagine!!

I am told this is what the Bethel sisters in the cleaning department are having to deal with.

So pillow fights are definitely out...

I have to say that I am utterly speechless at this. The Holy House of God must not be so holy if there is a need for this kind of video. 

...pagan origins of pillows...:)))))))))

@James Thomas Rook Jr. please prepare a newQuestions from readers article?
Are Pillows For True Christians?

if the guys/girls are having sex with pillows, they are committing porneia. THAT"S why you can commit skinless porneia, because pillows don't have skin...think about it.

You've got to hand it to Bethel, a topic like this might rub people the wrong the way, but they've managed to get a grip on this sticky situation and put it to bed. They truly are masters of their domain.

Its advertisements like this that Satan uses to allure men to have sex with pillows.

Does anyone know where I can purchase JW GB approved and spiritually safe pillows?

No comment... LOL
 

 
With all the focus on the new anti-masturbation vide telling all Bethelites not to sleep inappropriately with a pillow, surely this has to be the very item that will send the GB into fits of despair??
 Link Dislike Like

Nice try, but with no real effect Nana
First of all the main point here is THE PATH and not the light! Path of some person (righteous one) can go in good direction only with help from higher Source (the light aka God and this LIGHT is NOT CHANGEABLE  as it is JW light of/on interpretations, This light is the same in all stages of the day - no shadows).
In this verses, here, wise man talking about humans path, not God's light. Humans evolution, spiritual progress in righteousness is in fokus. Not progress about doctrines of some religious system. It is about Your/mine personal progress and development  in love, justice, mercy, compassion and such things  -  not in type and antitype interpretations, not about prophecies meaning of some bible books, not about procedures on how to handle organizational issues of WT Company.  
Light is from the same source as in the morning and in the middle of the day and in the evening. In verbatim life, sunny light in the morning and in the evening are not sufficient for person to see things in full picture. So, these circle are repeating every single day. Does this mean that JW are living in periods, stages  of morning, day and evening light in circles??? Because literal light have all this stages as Proverbs gives us to conclude. Is it the same with JW spiritual light??  Is it the same with doctrines and interpretations of JWorg? 
What teaching of JWorg give us assurance that particular teachings are in stage of morning light, and what teachings are in stage of full daylight, and what teachings are now in stage of evening light??
In literal way, translated to you, and in fact asking you or other JW member; "What teaching will come in the future with morning light?? What teaching will stay whole day under full daylight? And what teaching will perished as daylight going down into the evening light or night (or darkness, hehe) ?   

Ruling oriented brothers, just example :))) by John Cedars source. 
 
 

He looks like a very fine un-fossilized Brother.
His first assignment will be  mitigating the damage from "Pillowgate".

Hear, my son, and receive my sayings,
And the years of your life will be many.
 I have taught you in the way of wisdom;
I have led you in right paths.
 When you walk, your steps will not be hindered,
And when you run, you will not stumble.
Are these rejected dates the way of wisdom? If they contained light, why are they not kept as a light source?

Proverbs 4:18 is beautiful, but it isn’t the route the Watchtower takes.  Follow the path of “this generation” teaching from the beginning.  Map it out, and you will find a very crooked path.  Do the same with all Watchtower’s proclaimed dates, including 1914.  Soon, a confusing maze has developed with no end in sight.  If a spiritual leader or teacher that we have trusted in, tells us that “light” is over “there”, even in a place/teaching visited before (as is the case with “this generation”); once arriving, and the test of time proves we have found no assured light…for the first, second or third time -  surely we take this faulty guidance as an untruth – a deception – a lie…and darkness.   Surely.  
“As a dog returns to its vomit, so also a fool repeats his foolishness. Do you see a person who is wise in his own eyes? There is more hope for a fool than for him.”  Prov 26:11,12
 A child might say, “you tricked me!”, having enough sense to know when to quit believing the tricks.    JWs appear to be numb to this trick since it is balanced by soothing words of apparent wisdom, and apparent light.  Prov 5:3;29:3;55:21; Rev 2:20
Guard your heart above all else,
for it is the source of life.
 Don’t let your mouth speak dishonestly,
and don’t let your lips talk deviously.  Prov 4:23,24
INDIVIDUALLY, the path of righteousness and light begins by stepping out of the maze and off the crooked path of deception.  Prov 4:14,15
My son, pay attention to my words;
listen closely to my sayings.
 Don’t lose sight of them;
keep them within your heart.
 For they are life to those who find them,
and health to one’s whole body. Prov 4:20-22
“Don’t you believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in me? The words I speak to you I do not speak on my own. The Father who lives in me does his works.”  John 14:10
Jesus answered, “If anyone loves me, he will keep my word. My Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our home with him. The one who doesn’t love me will not keep my words. The word that you hear is not mine but is from the Father who sent me.”  John 14:23,24
The path of the righteous is like the light of dawn,
This path is in following Christ, who is compared to the sun.   Matt 17:2; Rev 22:16; Ps 89:36
Jesus spoke to them again: “I am the light of the world. Anyone who follows me will never walk in the darkness but will have the light of life.”
Prov 4 is about gaining and retaining wisdom in Christ, who holds within him, God’s Word, light and life.  (John 1:1) An anointed teacher should reflect such wisdom and light obtained from Christ; which always begins as light, and is always growing in more light.  Matt 5:14-16; 2 Tim 1:13,14; Tit 1:9; Luke 12:37; Matt 13:43;(Acts 26:17,18; Eph 5:8)

shining brighter and brighter until midday.
“We also have the prophetic word strongly confirmed, and you will do well to pay attention to it, as to a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts.”

 But the way of the wicked is like the darkest gloom;
they don’t know what makes them stumble. 
If doctrine is forever needing changing, and false prophesies are pronounced, how can it be dismissed that the hearers are NOT stumbled as they grope in the darkness of the proclamation?  Can darkness ever be called light?  2 Cor 6:14
“If we say, “We have fellowship with him,” and yet we walk in darkness, we are lying and are not practicing the truth.”  1 John 1:6 (John 14:6)
An example of proposed fellowship in Christ, darkness and a lie:
 Wt 1/1/1924 p. 5 - "Surely there is not the slightest room for doubt in the mind of a truly consecrated child of God that the Lord Jesus is present and has been since 1874."
“Pay close attention to your life and your teaching; persevere in these things, for in doing this you will save both yourself and your hearers.”
If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you want and it will be done for you.  John 15:7
“For you are all children of light and children of the day. We do not belong to the night or the darkness… 1 Thess 5:5
…As long as they guard their heart. Luke 6:45,44; John 7:38
“As a single footstep will not make a path on the earth, so a single thought will not make a pathway in the mind. To make a deep physical path, we walk again and again. To make a deep mental (or spiritual) path, we must think over and over the kind of thoughts we wish to dominate our lives.” HD Thoreau
Prov 4 speaks of two paths – the straight path, continually in light; or the wicked path, off the course of truth. We can choose either to dominate our life.  Discarded Watchtower doctrine was never truth…or light.  Those who teach and speak doctrine aside from the teachings/words of Christ have no light in themselves and rob the hearer of the true light of Christ, even though the anointed teacher may speak his name.  Matt 24:23-27
“You don’t have his word residing in you, because you don’t believe the one he sent.  You pore over the Scriptures because you think you have eternal life in them, and yet they testify about me.  But you are not willing to come to me so that you may have life.  John 5:38-40
This is true of JWs.  They are willing to “come to Jehovah’s organization”, but not directly to Christ, since the leadership teaches salvation begins when one enters the door of the organization. According to Christ, this makes the organization a thief.
I am the door. If anyone enters by Me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture. The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.
2 Thess 2:9-12 – “The coming of the lawless one is based on Satan’s working, with all kinds of false miracles, signs, and wonders, and with every wicked deception among those who are perishing. They perish because they did not accept the love of the truth and so be saved. 11 For this reason God sends them a strong delusion so that they will believe the lie, 12 so that all will be condemned—those who did not believe the truth but delighted in unrighteousness.”
Truth, in verse 12:  alḗtheia (from 227 /alēthḗs, "true to fact") – properly, truth(true to fact), reality.
[In ancient Greek culture, 225 (alḗtheia) was synonymous for "reality" as the opposite of illusion, i.e. fact.]
The organization is the illusion/delusion of light, life and truth;  and a path many have chosen.
 The reality – the true facts from God’s Word, show it is Christ who is light, life and truth, and the only path for the righteous. 
“I will bring the blind by a way they did not know; I will lead them in paths they have not known. I will make darkness light before them, And crooked places straight. These things I will do for them, And not forsake them.”  Isa 42:16
 

"All of us must be ready to obey any instructions we may receive, whether these appear sound from a strategic or human standpoint or not." Watchtower 2013 Nov 15 p.20

Famous Christopher Hitchens speech where he said, 
"It is the wish to be a slave. It is the desire that there be an unalterable, unchallengeable, tyrannical authority who can convict you of thought crime while you are asleep, who can subject you to total surveillance around the clock every waking and sleeping minute of your life, before you're born and, even worse and where the real fun begins, after you're dead. A celestial North Korea. Who wants this to be true? Who but a slave desires such a ghastly fate?"
 
They are telling people how to SLEEP.
Incredible.

here is a nice comment or two made in the video: 
 
"The male animal has no season in which he is not willing to engage in the breeding act"
"a brother sits on the lap of one of his male friends..."

Are these guys even aware that no one in the real world talks this way?
