i have been looking for the latest on shunning of those who have drifted.

i recall the 2016 convention had a part, and i believe there was a video.

WT Flip-Flops on Jesus Inspection Was it in 1918 or 1919?... Did the WT PASS or FAIL?
by Alfred in
1. watchtower
2. bible
this is utterly ridiculous.... .

the more i research this particular subject, the more flip-flops i uncover.

it seems the fds cant even make up their minds regarding what happened in 1918 (or should i say 1919?).

Question
If you spent your ENTIRE LIFE
building an airplane that would NEVER FLY
Would you keep on spending each waking moment
Trying to figure out which 3 bolts are misaligned?
Not me
I would at a point realize that the design is
OBVIOUSLY SERIOUSLY FLAWED
AND GET ON WITH MY LIFE
But that would be just me

Why is this blind allegiance to the anointed ones?
by anointed1 in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
even when they know that certain things are not right with the organization the flocks are blindly following their leaders viewing them as the future “kings and priests” (originally a sumerian concept).. greed for a “land of milk and honey” (either in this life or the next) is at the root of their allegiance.

interestingly, greed is something the flocks are warned against: ‘be on your guard against all kinds of greed which is idolatry.’ (luke 12:15; colossians 3:5).

@anointed1
I realized after reading you OP
that your beef is not with "the Anointed"
but with "The Governing Body"

Millions now living will never die
by stillin in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
but pretty much all of them are now dead.

and so are billions of others.

so, god doesn't desire any to be destroyed but desires all to attain to repentance?

Jesus said that "whoever believes in me will never die at all"
Paul said, over 2000 years ago that Christ was coming to bring vengeance
on those persecuting them (2 Thess 1) Those Paul wrote to 2000 years
ago were looking forward to this relief
I wonder if they were thinking about this when Nero had them burned
on crosses toward the end of that century
I understand that there was new light on these scriptures

A problem for believers
by Bugbear in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
a problem for believers!.

a majority of the world’s population acknowledge that they believe in a superior god or in their creator.

they also claim that they have got this special understanding and knowledge of his will and his law.

hi folks,.

i have a difficult dilemma.

since i'm not pioneering any more, i'm reducing my hours wasted at that artifact known as cart or trolley.

Hey Steve,
Do you think if Skeptis waved and called out to handsome men
it might get him off cart duty,
(If he got any interest he could just read them scriptures about gloom and
destruction)

Scratchme1010:
I've always bought into the idea of "credit where credit is due" in regard to
religion,
As well, a sense of community is imperative to mental health,
According to my own belief system I do believe that a secular system
like the Humanists offer a number of advantages, but such groups are
scarce in comparison
