on coftys thread about his former pastor trying to re-convert him, which is very long but a tremendous discussion of the problem of evil, a poster, sunny23, wrote :.

" having been 7 months since i first posted on the first page of this topic i have just read those posts and acknowledged a huge transfromation in myself for the better."..

i was only thinking the other day how, as i discovered this site and ttatt, i really changed as a person in so many ways, and i think mainly for the better.. i have been "born again" !!.

How Did A Proven "Fake," "Phony" Arrangement ["governing body"] ...Become The "Faithful & Discreet Slave" Arrangement???
by Littleleslie in

question:.

how did a proven "fake," "phony" arrangement [like "governing body" arrangement]...become the "faithful & discreet slave" arrangement???.

so then if it can be proven, the "governing body" term and arrangement is a farce, a fake, a made-up nonscriptural arrangement itself, (made up and concocted by nathan knorr & frederick franz in 1944) then how can this fake arrangement now suddenly become the "faithful & discreet slave" that jesus spoke of?

2. bible
how can it be said that gods visible organizationwas made strictly theocratic or was fully theocratic in structure by 1938, when there are revisions and changes from time to time in organization instructions?.

.. first of all, we must recognize what is meant when we say gods visible organization was made strictly or fully theocratic.

the term theocracy means god rule or rule by god.

Welcoming International Delegates for London 2014 IC

i had the pleasure of joining jw's on the weekend to greet the international delegates who are attending the london 2014 international convention at twickenham.. nothing interesting, just waiting for someone with a badge to come through the doors and all will cheer!

the interesting part is how they are behaving:.

1- the overseer: looked really bored, trying to impress surroundings by talking loud and how he can talk to immigration and check on passengers.

in my area the general sense is bleak.

many are in survival mode.

even at the convention the appearance of the majority was unhappy and tired.

i am infp.. some former witnesses in my hometown had a meetup last night...alas, only four of us.

Have You Ever Rejected Being Appointed an Elder/MS Before the Announcement?
by GermanXJW in
1. jw
2. friends
when i was a jw several brothers (ms) told me in private that the elders had asked them several times if they did not want to become an elder.

they said they rejected because it was too much responsibility for them.

were you ever approached that the boe wanted to make you an elder but you refused?
