how can it be said that gods visible organizationwas made strictly theocratic or was fully theocratic in structure by 1938, when there are revisions and changes from time to time in organization instructions?.

.. first of all, we must recognize what is meant when we say gods visible organization was made strictly or fully theocratic.

the term theocracy means god rule or rule by god.

Contemplating a Major Life Change.

by Joe Grundy in

jw
friends

never was a jw, but been here long enough to have made some friends and respect opinions.. retired in 2004, lived in cyprus 2005-2010. back here in wales since then.. just back from a holiday in france (most recent of many).

love the country, the lifestyle, can get by in the language.. just seen an advert for a country estate (british-owned) they want someone to live on site, do a bit of handyman stuff, etc., look after (mainly brit) holiday visitors in return for zero rent (only utitlties).

family would be abe to come and stay for free.

HOW CAN WOMEN BE ANNOINTED BUT NO PRIVELAGES IN HALL?

by NoMoreHustle in

i had listened to the degrading talk by gb heard (on women) & watched a video on evie bklyn channel & there was alot of interesting questions that are raised.. i had always wondered why can't women in the hall handle mics or run magazine counter etc.?

but they (if annointed) will rule in heaven with jesus.

that is a pretty heavy responsibility to help jesus rule millions of people on earth, but yet they can't pass a mic or even run the sound system in the kh.

Not yet, although by using the search box by looking for local towns names etc, I've found at least three people I know. Haven't come out to them yet though, not really fair on the missus I thought.

Wow more heavy artillery propaganda from the 11/14 WT!!!!!

by BU2B in

every paragraph and every article in this issue is nonstop heavy artillery fire propaganda.

i have never seen a wt so full of logical fallacies, appeals to emotion, appeals to authority, guilt tripping and bite techniques all in one issue!

paragraph 9 states clearly that even though the gb is imperfect, that does not matter, we must obey them anyways.

disposable hero of hypocrisy

I read that paragraph at the top with my jw head on. Makes perfect sense to me.

They're spirit anointed so we should obey them. (scripture says be obedient to those taking the lead).

But they are imperfect (as is everyone) so they will make mistakes, (ie shout at someone sometime or have a wrong thought sometime) so we obviously make allowances for human imperfection as we would hope others would make allowances for us.

Tie that in with the scripture that talks about "considering those taking the lead and IMITATING THEIR FAITH" , job's a good 'un!

It's only if you're fully aware of ttatt that these things stand out as nonsensical. They're glaringly obvious to us, but we can't expect a mass wake-up cos it just ain't gonna happen. If you WANT to believe the gb are running the show under Christ's supervision then you'll iron any wrinkles out as you go. It's easy.
