Message from an elder

by paradisebeauty in

elder: plese watch the november programm on jw broadcasting.. me: what i hope for is the change of the doctrine that states that jesus is not the mediator between jehovah and all jw's but only between jehovah and the 144000. i believe jesus is my mediator even if i am not one of the 144000. .

elder: may jehovah open your mind and heart.

me: may he open everyone's mind and heart.

@ Rattigan

And does your believe actually do anything or mean anything?

My believe is the basis of my faith, and I will not accept any religion or organization who says the opposite. The fact that Jesus is my mediator influences the way I live my life now and I am sure it will make influence my eternal future, too.

That is why I really hate the objection above

Why exactly? you are not actually mentioning any reasons why you hate my objection.

The GB can't change God's will.

They can not change God's will but they change the truth of the Bible, like most other religions. And they do this while saying they are the only religion accepted by God. - I find this very disturbing, at least other christian religions do not place a definite judgement on other christian denominations.

Oubliette,

Did he say WHY you should watch that particular program?

I think he was referring to the part of November broadcasting where they speak about inactives ant they advice that they should return to the congregation, did not watch the entire speech about inactives, could not stand it, but I saw they have the image from the new brochure return to Jehovah in the background.

JWs have more good points than bad

by lsw1961 in

1) many who were on the destructive path have been transformed by their teachings (this includes me who was once vicious, and presumptuous and atheistic).

2) equal monthly pay to all members of the bethel community regardless of whether they are bc members or sweepers.

this is something that still remains as an unattainable dream for the world.

This is totally attainable.The communists did something similar!

what kind of a man wears any other ring than the wedding ring????

So weird!. The gold on his hands draws my attention, can not listen!

These gov body members must be the most self-centered vain smugs ever existed in the gov body. They do not miss a chance to appear on camera, unless, of course, a royal commission calls them. Then they try anything to evade the camera.

A bunch of presumptuous delusional old men.

by Vanderhoven7 in

i realize that rutherford received a flash of light regarding the identity of the gc in the year 1935, but that does not tell us when the crowd began to form.

what would be the earliest date?

any ideas or quotes from wt literature?

paradisebeauty

When Rutherford started drinking too much.

If there is anything to bible prophecy, keep an eye out on Israel

by EndofMysteries in

what will be the end game whether in a few years, our lifetime, or hundreds + years from now.

bible prophecy did say israel / jews would be scattered then eventually brought back.

russell was declaring that and it was believed before being changed shortly before it happened.

paradisebeauty

Totally agree!!!

People don't realise that one of the prophecies not yet fulfilled about Jesus is that God would give Him the throne of his father David - one of the first things said about Jesus, right before he was born, when Gabriel was announcing his birth.

The small rock that would distroy all other kingdoms is Israel ruled by Jesus.

This is one of the points that jw's get wrong.

Would Jesus have been disfellowshipped by the "Elders" of his day . . . . . .

by Dunedain in

i bet jesus would have been df'd by the "elders" in his day.

lets think about it, jesus hung out with "worldly" people.

his closest friends were known prostitutes, money collectors, men of "prominence" in the world of that day, non "beleivers" of the "faith" like samaritans, and many others that todays "elders" would have deemed "unworthy".. jesus spoke against the "organization" and "elders" of his day.

paradisebeauty

ABSOLUTELY!!!

Does Anyone Still Believe in God?

by LaurenM in

do any of you ex-jw's still believe in god?

even with the new rebranding/softening of this religion, i still don't see how people can believe in him.

the god of the old testimate is an angry murderer who approved rapes and slavery and killed thousands of men, women and children.

@cofty

I believe the bible is the word of God. If you read the Bible, the hope is composed of:

- kingdom of God coming

- immortality for believers

This is what I believe!!

E-Mail, Just recived. About Bethell adjustments.

by DwainBowman in

i just read an email from a friend, and she shared some very interesting emails from her friends about information on changes now happening at the bethels around the world.

here is the email: .

---------------------------------thanks sally, jesus is directing the org and all decisions and instructions to us may not seem practical from now on, neither will we understand the reasonings behind many of the changes that the organization makes.

paradisebeauty

We do understand. Their stupidity led them to spending too much and being sued for millions of dollars. Now they have to pay, from the money donated by people for the preaching work!!!
