My letter to Bethel about the flood

by Cornbread in

i've decided to go full public with a new username on this forum.

it's been almost a decade since i've been out and i don't care at this point who knows.

that being said, here's a letter that i'm mailing to bethel.

berrygerry

Good letter.

For your Dad:

(Romans 12:2) And quit being fashioned after this system of things, but be transformed by making YOUR mind over, that YOU may prove to yourselves the good and acceptable and perfect will of God.

PROVE to yourself.

(Acts 17:11) Now the latter were more noble-minded than those in Thes·sa·lo·ni′ca, for they received the word with the greatest eagerness of mind, carefully examining the Scriptures daily as to whether these things were so.

CAREFULLY EXAMINING ... WHETHER THESE THINGS WERE SO.

Ronald Reagan referring to Russian saying: "Trust, but verify."

i just wanted to say that my dear 89 year old mom is terminally ill and will soon pass.

she is on morphine and hanging on.

she has been a devout witness for about 60 years and a wonderful mother.

Sorry Dude (Dudette?).

Lost a parent and a sibling this year.

The Dub world provides a superficial answer to this loss.

What is the real answer?

The only ones with all the answers seem to have a monetary response.

Continue to express your feelings with those worthy of such.

WT lawsuits - Gog of Magog - Coalition of Nations - Courts of Law - Bankruptcy

by truthseeker in

jw
friends

what if the society know it only has to lose one big case to lose a whole set of cases on precedent of the first case?.

this means they will lose millions of dollars in lawsuits and settlements.

which means their financial stability is under threat.

Almost 60 years ago, The Watchtower made a prediction that has proven to be amazingly accurate.

by Bonnie_Clyde in

i haven't posted for quite awhile, just usually lurk, but thought surely someone would have noticed this on jw.org.

this was under the article about distractions.

i clicked on the article and below is the "accurate" prediction that the wt made back in 1958. this has to prove they have jehovah's backing, don't you think?

berrygerry

Bit of a weird post, IMO.

WTS has always railed against "distractions," which are anything in life non-WT.

Psalm 82

God takes his place in the divine assembly; In the middle of the gods he judges:

2 “How long will you continue to judge with injustice? And show partiality to the wicked?

(Selah) 3 Defend the lowly and the fatherless. Render justice to the helpless and destitute.

4 Rescue the lowly and the poor; Save them out of the hand of the wicked.”

5 They do not know, nor do they understand; They are walking about in darkness; All the foundations of the earth are being shaken.

6 “I have said, ‘You are gods, All of you are sons of the Most High.

7 But you will die just as men do; And like any other prince you will fall!’”

What are human rights?

Rights of an institution (a WTS corp. or subsidiary)?

Or rights of a "human?"
