  by HelpMeBelieve in

  i keep hearing rumors elders are going to be getting permanent badge cards to wear to every meeting.

  one excited brother told me, "it would be nice if new ones to the kingdom hall could see who their shepherds are.

  there is a great surge in activity, new bible students will be able to locate the proper elder in charge of bible studies!

  A good example of not getting excited about stuff until it actually happens.

  My mother was very cautious at first when talking about it. Eventually she admitted that she ended up not enjoying the zone visit. While she understood what Morris may have been trying to say, his delivery was terrible. She said she did not feel encouraged at the end. My mom is a die hard uber dub, so for her to say that it means that many people probably didn't enjoy that last talk. She said it was all his opinions even though he said that they weren't. She also said she would not be surprised if he was scolded for his talk by other members of the GB. My mom will never leave the organization but for her to say these things means they did screw up.

  On the flip side I have seen social media posts of how they loved his frank straight forward talk. So take it all for what it's worth. A half a penny.

  Nothing will wake them up. So far everyone that had a comment about Morris has said it's just his opinion and they don't agree. No amount of he is the GB and they approved this material matters. They just ignore and think how great the rest of the show was.

  Probably eventually but you really are not missing out on anything. It's three hours wasted and I don't think the last talk was as big of a deal as people are making it. He received a thunderous round of applause when he finished at my hall.

  This reminds me of the "bum witnesses" fever this board had last year with a comment taken completely out of context. tomorrow I'll be interested to see just how Morris talked about parents and their kids leaving and see if it's as blunt as some think it is.

  David Splane Destroys the Very Foundation of 1914- Corp. Meeting New Light

  by scotoma in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  at the corporate meeting david splane discusses the use and misuse of types/antitypes.. the main qualifier of a type is that an account must be represented in the scriptures as a. type of some future event.. he quoted schroeder who said if an account isnt explained in the scriptures as a type than you.

  shouldnt use the event as a type.. splane summed up his talk by saying if the bible is silent - we must be silent.. but they go right on celebrating the 100 years from 1914 which was determined by improperly.

  going beyond anything written in the bible about nebuchadnezzars tree dream.. the bible specifically refers to the immense tree as representing nebuchadnezzar.. daniel explained it and that should be the end of the matter.. .

  @startrekangel, JWS eventually will start saying that in Noah's day God limited their time to 120 years and apply it to themselves. 1914 + 120 gives you 2034.

  They have already referenced this as an option in the 12/15/2003 watchtower here in paragraph 6,7.
