  The "slave's" dogma depicts Satan as being more powerful than Jehovah!

  by The Fall Guy in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  according to the org's "guardians of doctrine," (g.o.d.

  's) the figurative woman who's mentioned in revelation chapter 12 is none other than god almighty's heavenly organization - with its myriads upon myriads of powerful spirit creatures.. it-2 p. 187 - "it would follow that the “woman” is god’s “wife,” the “jerusalem above,” the “mother” of christ and his spiritual brothers.

  " jv chap.

  Since verses 6,13,14,15,& 16 all depict the "woman" as having to run away and get shelter and protection from Satan, it doesn't put God's omnipotence in a good light, does it?

  Why?

  It is 'God' who is omnipotent - NOT the 'woman / wife / jerusalem above'

  Thus it is 'God' that Revelation 12:6 says provides protection to the 'woman'

  Hey The Fall Guy - you seem quite the searcher, what with all those WT references, key words bolded and use of italics.

  jookbeard: very disjointed didn't come across well at all.

  It was kinda bland, and all very 'so-what-ish' - which doesn't really work on TV
  

  At that time of the day, the TV programme is up against 'Judge Judy' with parent's suing their kids etc and 'Jeremy Kyle' with families fighting each other. And then there's Victoria Derbyshire...
  

  Victoria Derbyshire also seemed unsure what questions to actually ask to - trying her best to make it into an 'i-n-t-e-r-e-s-t-i-n-g' story before viewers either turned over, or went to make a cup of tea.
  

  It was kinda weird too - the lady interviewee was shown in silhouette, and the guy had only his back shown with an actor doing a voice-over for his comments. Agan, a bit 'so-what-ish-weird'
  

  And Terri - who can be very good in the right enviroment - sadly just looked like an out-of-place gooseberry, particularly as she was sitting opposite the two main interviewees, and next to Victoria.

  The old "Book Study Group"

  by The Fall Guy in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  in the june 2004 kingdom ministry, the self-appointed "faithful slave" published this spiritual exhortation as a q&a item - "the congregation book study—why we need it.

  three years later, in 2007 - in the august kingdom ministry - the same "slave" issued this reminder - "how the congregation book study arrangement helps us.

  but surprise, surprise - within a few short months the "slave" decided that jehovah had had a change of heart, and now decided that the book study in homes - with all of its alleged benefits - was superfluous: .

  Londo111: I was never an elder, only made it to ministerial servant, but even ministerial servant have to go above and beyond the average publisher, an elders beyond that.

  That's an interesting obs.... but IMHO the congregation is much more likely to notice if a MS is missing a lot of meeting RATHER than an elder

  The MSs basically run the meeting...

  MS opens up Hall

  MS opens up literature desk

  MS sets up sound desk / video (no sound = no meeting!)
  

  MSs are attendants manning the entrance foyer

  MS does contribution boxes (lock / unlock / count)

  MS does the platform microphone adjustment

  MS organises roving mikes

  Need territory? It's a MS you need to see

  Meeting attendance count (and note made of it) - that's a MS you need
  

  Carts need re-filling? That's a MS you need

  Magazines need re-stocking? That's a MS you need
  

  On Sundays MS is responsible for PT speaker turning up and organising chairman

  Get the idea? - nobody really misses the elders - but they soon miss the MSs!

  The MSs basically run the meetings - elders just give a platform item/talk here and there.

  Sunday meeting - just needs ONE local elder (for the Watchtower)

  Clam midweek meeting - just needs TWO local elders (for Chairman and Conductor for Bible Study at end)
