You just answered your own question. Israel is still said to have God's favor, except now Gentiles are grafted in, not exclusively Israelites by birth.

God's Wife
by truthlover123 inaccording to scripture, god has a wife -israel.
he is her husband/husbandly owner.. the nation was cast off but jehovah said he would never leave israel.
that being said, jesus spoke of israel as a spiritual nation and the 144,000 to be picked from both israel and the nations (to fulfill the number) who were to be king priests with him.

2 Kingdom Halls burned in Washington
by Lynnie inon the local news last night it was reported that two kingdom halls in olympia wa were set fire to.
i wonder who has a grudge with those congregations?
unfortunately we know the jw"s eat this crap up and enjoy the "persecution.

I know, it's ironic how many of us know more about the org than when in it, and than those now in it: obscure beliefs, publication quotes, history of doctrine, secret publications, convention releases before the convention, elder's letters before the elders 😄

by HowTheBibleWasCreated inmany who have been a jw since the 70- 80s remember the jw dramas coming out yearly.. today they are movies but to the topic.... many of the voice actors are the same.. one however is plain odd.. lets list his roles as i remember:.
the exodus drama: janes.
gideon drama: an anger worshiper of baal.

No, I wasn't thinking of brother Barr, he has a very pleasant voice. I just listened to the recording of Job chapter 4 you cited and that is indeed Joel Adams, who I mentioned in my first post.

The one with the sniveling voice and British accent I thought you meant played background characters in many dramas including the Moses one.

There were three from this era who had creepy voices. The first two, Karl Klein and Joel Adams, had American accents. The one you're describing, who I remember very well but have no clue who it is, had a British accent. It's possible they channeled a demon and gave it a script 😜 That, or it's Darth Sidious/Emperor Palpatine's grandpa.

Those new doorbell thingies & jw's
by carla ini didn't know if i should put this in humor or what?
have you seen those new doorbell devices with built-in camera/microphone/speaker?
i wonder how that will work with jw's coming to the door?

These are on YouTube already, that's why they showed that video at all congregations warning JWs not to talk too much at doors because of cameras 😄

Governing Body pre-'70s: All Shareholders?
by neat blue dog ini used to think that before the governing body was introduced in the 1970's as we know it today, that they used that term for the 7-member board of directors.
but the article written by milton henschel in the '50s that was just posted showed another angle.
apparently all shareholders were the "governing body" and the board was their representative, just like later they would say that all anointed ones were the faithful slave and the gb was their representative.. the governing body at present has 402 members, who reside in 29 countries and elect seven ministers as a board of directors.

Well no, the term shareholder has been used consistently by the org itself since then, up to even the most recent annual meeting, as I mentioned on the last page.

Social Media
by Emily1987 inas some of you may remember from a previous post of mine, myself and my husband are in the process of fading.
we began our fade in jan 2017 and haven't been to a meeting since may 2017. to say this time has been a struggle is an understatement.
it has been a lonely time for us, losing all of our so called friends.

No there was nothing explicit, or even close, not in my area (of the US) at least. The only thing I can think of is if you've been posting stuff that could disturb a JW, or if you've let any critical talk slip out in conversation.
