  What are the big black tanks that were installed and buried at Beth Sarim?

  i have been watching this video.

  at about the 4:40 mark, the footage shows a big black tank with two windows (they look like windows).

  at the 4:46 mark, you can 2 of the tanks already in the ground and they being installing a third one.

  "Do not hold back good if it is in the power of your hand" Prov 3:27

  by stuckinarut2 in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i was musing over this scripture at proverbs 3:27.

  "do not hold back good from those to whom it is due , if it is in the power of your hand to do so".

  this passage has often been used to show that if we have the means, or opportunity to do good, or to assist others in need, we should act.

  Well said @ Wake me!

  Yes, It is mind-blowing to think that us "mere imperfect humans" seem to have a higher sense of morality and love than the Almighty, in whose image we were supposed to have been made!

  If we as humans find conduct such as this unacceptable, how can "God" tolerate or excuse such?

  Wow...interesting footage!

  There he is, living like a king in his manor. Living off the dime of all the poor witnesses worldwide who financed it!

  what do you think would happen to jehovah's witnesses as a religion and as a people?.

  It all comes down to control.

  IF the GB maintain the control, and hold such power over the individual members, then the religion will continue in some form.

  BUT, if the GB lose their grip of control (if members see them as the powerless men behind the curtain and not as "gods spokesmen") then things will disintergrate...

  Clearly, undeniably, without doubt ... is there a term for introducing a thought in such a way.

  watchtower article often introduce a point that has no merit with words such a "undeniably.".

  for instance the watchtower 2014 august 15 page 10 says:.

  "jehovah undeniably blesses the preaching work of christian women and supports them in times of trial.

  My last Memorial

  by Sour Grapes in

  2. experiences

  i missed my first memorial last year in 60 years.

  it always amazed me on this special night that the jw's forget how to park their cars in the parking lot.

  i would pull in with my wife and there are 5 brothers giving directions on where and how to park my car.

  Nice post!

  Um, so was it yesterday?

  I didn't even know...nor did I care.

  It is amazing once we "awaken" how insignificant the whole ritual is...

  The next time I see the cart babysitters

  by Sour Grapes in

  2. experiences

  the next time i see the jdubs standing or sitting by their carts sipping their coffee lattes or updating their facebook pages, i am going to approach them with the following thought process acting as an interested person.. do jw's believe the end is near?.

  do you consider your preaching work to be urgent?.

  why do you just let people walk by if their very lives are at stake?
