  A Blessing Beyond Measure (15 min)

  Malachi 3:10- blessed beyond measure

  In order to enjoy the blessings of Jehovah one must recognize the blessings he has received from Jehovah.

  Help audience to recognize that they are living in exciting, yet critical times.

  Paul spoke of an "equalizing" ( 1 Cor 16:2). Surplus of those countries experiencing financial prosperity should help to sustain kingdom interests in less fortunate countries.

  The "storehouses" mentioned in Malachi evidently refer to this financial distinction, particularly notable in the time of the end.

  Faithful servants are admonished to bring in the "tenth parts." How does this apply to Jehovahs modern day organization?

  A certain measure of grain or resource given to sustain the theocratic arrangement. Recognized prior to the Mosaic law as approved by God's channel. Abraham willingly gave of his surplus to support and bless the High Priest Melchizedek. (Read Genesis 14:20) He exercised faith in and appreciation for God's chosen one and was blessed.

  To enjoy future blessings, God's people must be willing to support his interests (Matthew 6:10).

  Please read as introduction to following part in symposium:

  TITHING!

  JWs are officially part of Christendom.

  All for show

  I asked an older JW sister who is very in, but anti DFing and shunning, what she would think if they introduced tithing... She said "We would have become a part of Christendom" she then called her husband 75 year old to see his thoughts and he said it won't happen, ' that's what false religion does, not us'

  maybe that's what will rock older people's boats...tithing...because it's 'what the world does'

  Gustav, you said: --of human making-- not perfect--"

  quite an admission. not a 'new creation' by god, but of human making. --right!

  wt must be green with envie of the land and wealth grab of the historic Anglican, Catholic churches, and now, belatedly seeing the noo lite,

  that WT's spiritual bankruptsy is exposed on the internet, trying to claw back and catch up, by talking money, money, more money.

  green, the colour

  of the dollar.

  Alec, it is not in - coherence, but called 'hedging your bets', feigning on two fronts, trial balooning ( montgolfieres) hot air rising.

  thinned air, with less and less substance.
