Cofty, I was gonna say that sounds pathetic, but you beat me to it in your last paragraph š
SJW tropes in a Bible story.
Facepalm.
so mrs cofty and i went to see the new movie last weekend on the gospel story told from the perspective of mary magdalene.. the first ten minutes are excellent and then jesus turns up and it's all downhill from there.
it was pope gregory who decided in 1591 that mary m was a penitent prostitute, even though the gospels contain no such reference.
was she the mary from whom seven demons were cast or was she just unlucky to share a name with a different mary?

iād imagine that if you have a ipad or ipad that some witnesses will get into trouble.. what say you?

Yup. My ultra-staunch (and also new-to-tech) JW mother has stumbled across this site twice recently, and instead of doing the 'right' thing and shutting it off while looking away in disgust, she lingers and moves on to other threads.
to illustrate how the botchtower's groupies are losing brain cells...last year an elder told me some of the increase in the anointed is due to those who have been unfaithful and needed to be replaced.
when i was in first grade i knew that if i had 10 marbles and i lost one and a friend gave me a marble to replace the one i lost that i once again had 10 not 11 marbles.. jdubs are very good at not thinking..
It has ballooned and will continue to. There was even a story on here several years ago of a whole congregation in the US that went 'apostate' and started partaking, then was disbanded.
Beyond that, I wonder how many more that partake in private and aren't counted. I'm one of them, and I've read of others who do the same, because they don't want to put on airs or tacitly agree with WTs definition of what it means to be anointed.
according 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.
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.
on 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 bit my tongue, she wouldn't have gotten it anyway..

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 š

many 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 š That, or it's Darth Sidious/Emperor Palpatine's grandpa.
happy st. paddy's day.. that being said, life is a bag of shit.. so please give me some sort of positivity in this post.. i wish i could get it from whom i would like it from, but that is a bullshit dream.. life sucks then you die!.
jk.
Life is good.
