WT RESOLUTIONS what becomes of them?? (page 2)

Hey bud!

: has anyone heard of a resolution being discussed more than 2 weeks after the district convention

No. They are just "feel good" resolutions that make R&F dubs think they have done something special. To NOT vote for one of them is spiritual death in dubland. EVERY resolution passed at assemblies and in the congos are unanimously passed. To vote otherwise is heresy. Therefore, they are all a joke.

Of course, the most famous "resolutions" are the ones that fulfilled the "Seven Trumpet Blasts prophecy" in the Revelation. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! These of course, were the Rutherford assemblies between 1922 and 1929 in which over those seven years at least forty five to seventy five people attended them TOTAL.

(Check out the picture in the Proclaimers book to see just how puny those assemblies were.)

Imagine the consequences if you, as a dub voted against a WTS "resolution." Do you, as a dub, have any freedom of speech in voting in those resolutions?

Its no wonder they are all passed without dissent. FEAR prevents dubs from voting otherwise.

Wasn't it back in the 1980's when the full size folded tracts came out and we were told that we (JW's) would continue to make these resolutions every few months (new tracts every few months) until the end came?

WHAT HAPPENED? Guess the borg doesn't want the end to come as long as $ is coming in.

Welp.....there are so MANY WTS resolutions that they began to feel neglected, developed their own persona, came to life as a human and are doing a standup gig on Saturday Night Live. Lotsa laffs there!

FARKEL,

The state of WTS is a totalitarian one, so you can't expect the citizens to vote against the official doctrine. Of course all JWs are equal, but the annointed ones are more equal, and the GB + their buddies are the most equal of all.

Kind of reminds me of our Eastern-European "referendums" under the Communist rule... But it's worse. We had the offical 99% support for government proposals, but at least in reality people opposed, and finally got rid of them.

On the other hand, in the land of WTS most people are genuinely supportive, so I don't think they actually fear anything. I mean they just don't mind or don't really understand those resolutions. There's not so much to oppose in them, or is there? Stuff like: "We are witnesses of Jehovah, and we shall stand firm as the New World replaces this Old Corrupted System of Things...".

How about 2 minutes after it is read?

No one knows and if they didn't print it in a publication...they still wouldn't know or care. I have long-time JW relatives and they never discuss these things. They do remember when Knorr or Fred Franz went over time 45 minutes in their talk and they were anxious to leave.

No one ever signed any of these resolutions. Saying you agreed with it was like always having to clap when the speaker paused even though you didn't feel so inclined. A sign I was out the door was when I stopped clapping at the pauses.

I always thought it was a misguided PR maneuver.

I'm pretty certain that immediately after the resolutions were adopted, an invisible, inaudible trumpet sounded in the imaginary heavens.

Like this:

Yeah, THAT'S the ticket!

Wasn't that a song by the Beatles?

"...Ya say ya wanna re-so-luuu-shuuuun---weeeelll----ya know...."

RE: the resolutions?

IMO, it seems that the WTS may be planting seeds for future generations of JWs to be convinced of the WTS having Jehover?s direction.

Like it was mentioned, there seemed to be ?resolutions? being made every few years. This could have been the WTS just pulling the trigger on the shotgun and letting the birdshot hit multiple, ambiguous targets.

With these ?resolutions? made, the WTS could, years later, refer to them in publications and than play the part of the ?revisionist historian? and connect the dots as it benefits them.

For example, who knows what vague points the WTS made at these previous conventions that could, years later, be twisted to illustrate to new meat that the WTS was given ?foresight? into the ?war on terrorism?, 9/11, WMD?s falling into third world nations hands, New Light? RE: the Kings of the North/South, etc?

Or it could just be an exercise on the final afternoon to stimulate the ~~asleep~~ sheep into Awake!©-ening their hands for contribution time

What about the resolutions from 1922-28 that were the fulfillment of the pouring out of the seven bowls in Revelation? Has anyone ever seen these reprinted in their entirety? They are fulfilled prophecies - they should be proudly and prominently posted in every Kingdom Hall, don't you think?

Yeah, when I was making my journey out of the org, this is one of the things that made me go hmmmmm.

If these resolutions at seven consecutive conventions were really the fulfillment of mysterious prophecies hidden in the Book of Revelation for nearly 2000 years, don't they deserve some special recognition? In which case, why isn't there a 192-page book entitled "The Seven Bowls of God's Judgment Revealed" or some such? And why isn't this book studied verse by verse in congregation book studies all over the world? Wouldn't you think that every JW child by the age of six would be able to recite all seven, identify the exact date that each resolution was adopted, and the relevance of each in the life of individual Christians living today?

The only logical conclusion why this isn't the case: They don't really believe it.
