I have seen "The Beast" with my own eyes.
(It's in the Google ad displayed on this thread -
it says "THE BEAST - PERFECT FOR PREPPERS")
so scanning through the gods kingdom rules i found this gem on page 228.. .
"in heaven, the 144,000 corulers with christ will recieve authority to share with jesus in weilding an "iron rod" of destruction against all enemies of gods kingdom.
( rev 2 26,27) then, together with powerful angels, the resurrected anointed ones will follow christ, the warrior king, as he sets out to confront the "vast army" of enemies that is closing in on its prey - jehovahs people.".

i went to the whole three days of regional convention in amherst ma.
mostly i slept through the talks, and i did get a lot of exercise walking around the concourse area looking for a bathroom that didn't have an exesive wainint line to go pee, yes, at this convention even the men's rooms had waiting lines!!!
it seemed like a full third of the audience was perpetually walking around and socializing during the program.. there were so many errors, so many speakers tripping over their words from the manuscripts they were reading.
Yup.
The GB has been poking the bear like Rutherford poked Hitler.
i mean " courting" certainley sounds more dignified than " hanging out with a new squeeze".
" comely" is a word i think should be used more often".
i am going to try and use " jabberwockey" in a sentece today.. anyway do you have any favourite words, in any language?.
Je t'adore!
there are a million of them and mine is by no means the most important question to ask them if i only had one shot at it.
but, i have always wondered what kind of bs excuse they would give as an answer to this question: "brother goober bum, given that there are both male and female partakers here on earth who claim to be of the 'anointed' and plan on being of the 144,000 ruling with christ in heaven for eternity........ why are the female 'anointed' treated as submissive, second class citizens and why is their opinion on doctrinal matters, matters of teaching and reproving, anything at all.... why are they not recognized while here on earth even though you claim that jesus has selected them to become angels to rule with him?
".

Take that, Putin!
it might be the way i think and see, but the first time i looked at the image on pg 27 of the april 15th watchtower i was trying to figure out how it applied to this study.
this is a darkened black and white image that appears in my edition of this magazine, (its colour online).
anyway, para 9 talks about a brother that had an issue with looking at online porn.
You're forgetting the terrific video for the deaf.
It's gender-neutral hilarious.
i asked the below questions to 2 of my elders a few week ago ................................silence.
.
More seriously, WE all know the answer.
Baptism is the single biggest cult control tool.
Asked the OPOMC (Other Parent of my children - how's that Liz Lemon) why the 74/08/01 WT "Maintaining a Balanced Viewpoint Toward Disfellowshiped Ones" contradicted other WT's. She said it doesn't.

What does the Bible have to do with baptism?
so i have read that if an elder commited porneia (or other serious sin) while serving and it came to light years later, he would not necisarily be removed.
i mentioned this to my wife a while back, and she refused to believe it.
is this policy still in effect?
It's in the current Sheperding book, which you should be able to find online.
The Sheperding book doesn't mention a time period, says a "length of time" or some such.
There is a letter to elders that more or less stipulates as a clarification that that is 3 years.
The SOLE KEY is "Jehovah's blessing" ; I.e. lots of service, lots of meaningful comments - the same key of whether or not to DF Joe Publisher.
we are up for a new kind of persecution in the future.
a new form that was unheard of for us.
in australia, disfellowshipped and dissasociated are planning on suing jw for emotional and mental hardship for being cast out completely.
