  April 15, 1951 WT in the video

  Accordingly God shows due respect for the organization which bears his name.

  Uhhh, IBSA or WTBTS of Penn, NY, Canada, etc.

  Don't see God's name anywhere.

  Genuine repentance - if you can fake that you'll avoid getting disfellowshipped

  by slimboyfat in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  to paraphrase a well known saying.

  is it true, in a judicial committee, if you can fake repentance, then they are likely to let you off being disfellowshipped, almost regardless of the "severity" of the sin involved?

  can former elders and perhaps victims of the process shed light on the matter?

  “Sincerity - if you can fake that, you've got it made."

  George Burns

  One of my favourite quotes for latter-day (JW) elders.

  glen ellyn won't allow jehovah's witnesses brochure rack on sidewalk.

  http://www.chicagotribune.com/suburbs/glen-ellyn/ct-jehovah-witness-brochures-tl-20141209-story.html.

  the glen ellyn village board (usa) on monday night voted 4-2 to reject a request by a kingdom hall of jehovah's witnesses north of glen ellyn to place a portable brochure rack on a public sidewalk in downtown glen ellyn for evangelistic purposes.. glen ellyn currently bars commercial signage and the placement of any kind of structure whether temporary or permanent on its public sidewalks without village board approval.

  For YOU always have the poor with YOU

  I always found that verse depressing.

  It meant that we will never solve the problems, as JW's say.

  Just accept that life is crap, and everything will be better in the next life.

  i was given permission by a jw friend of my wife and me to post this experience.

  she's anonymous and posts on the board.

  she is married to a witness still but is fighting on behalf of children in her congregation to not be a next victim of a pedophile who attends her congregation.

  The Faithful Slave - An Obvious Question I Haven't Heard Asked

  by berrygerry in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  since the big 7 have appropriated this "blessed" title for themselves, and disavowed the existence of this slave prior to 1919, an obvious question comes up.. was it not the apostate maria russell that proffered that ctr was "the slave," and was the coiner of the term "the faithful slave"?.

  if the slave did not come into existence until 1919, then how was it possible that prior to 1919 that anyone knew that it existed, or would have been able to foretell that it would come into existence?.

  was maria a prophetic apostate?.

  Wasn`t the scripture about "The Faithful & Discreet Slave" just a parable ? , not to be taken literally ?

  More or less, my question.

  Not a Adventist historian.

  Was there other mention of the slave being someone during that time period, or was it indeed a creation of Maria?
