by punkofnice in

i was in a good mood yesterday (makes a bloody change, i hear you say).

i was meeting an old buddy for a meal.

he was never a jobo.

Stan,

What you are describing would be the old school way of doing things,

Handing interest over to the local congregation

I can't imagine why this would change

Dose Wt really have that much cash.

by joe134cd in

i realize that wt has got a wind fall of cash through various means.

so my question is in the greater scheme of things is it really that much.

for example let's say with all their real estate and cash on hand they are worth about $20 billion dollars.

How do JW's determine a person is anointed?

by thinker11 in

i've always wondered about this.

when a person believes they made a spiritual connection with god and proclaims themselves as anointed, how do they determine whether this person is anointed or not.

does a group of elders look at the person's spiritual resume and check off the person's pioneer stats, bible knowledge, attendance, work ethic, personality, etc and then believe in the person if they have a good track record?

The brothers would say one of the prayers on Memorial night

(It was for obvious reasons considered their night)

They would generally be considered more spiritually in tune

And therfore what they said would carry slightly more weight than the

rank and file

I'm trying to understand some things

The book I referred to is God's Kingdom Rules

A book currently being studied in the congregations?

It shows Russell saying that if they ever have to appeal to men for money

that would indicate that the God of the universe who easily can provide,

isn't doing so, and that would mean that they should stop publishing,

Now Lett's on my TV clearly soliciting funds,

What am I missing here

I just don't understand

It's like everyone is under a spell,

May you have the peace (the spell of) Landru (Star Trek reference)

Well I might be an Evil Apostate

At least I'm not trying to bilk the poor of their money

Hey! I wonder if they know Jim and Tammie Bakker

God's Kingdom Rules

Chapter 18

Para 7

Quotes Russell as saying "they will never petition men for support"

And paraphrasing 'when the Almighty stops providing they WILL SHUT DOWN'

They've been quoting Russell's statements here for over 50 years since I was a child!

I looked at Lett's 2015 webcast

Thanks slimboy

If "the Truth" is the truth, why are witnesses so scared of research?

by stuckinarut2 in

it is an often asked question i know, but it perplexes me.. if witnesses are so convinced that they have "the truth", why is the act of researching information from external sources so taboo?

didn't the bible itself tell people to "use their powers of reason" and also praised ones like the boreans for researching things they were told??.

seriously, if there is no doubt about the organization being "god's channel" on earth, and it alone having the "truth", surely researching would only enhance such 'facts'?.
