Wait a second... Since i stepped down as an elder a few more months ago i have managed to "miss" the a number of meetings, including this weeks service meeting, so maybe im a little behind here but did you say caleb from the caleb and sophia series of animated cartoons is depicted as being baptised? Please tell me this isnt true. Please tell me this is some apostate overreaction to something... Please tell me caleb is depicted as imagining his baptisum in the future. Please please please tell me this isnt true....

Jehovah's Witnesses requesting financial transparency in Spain

by JHK in

two jehovah's witnesses requesting financial transparency in spain branch.

one picture in the assembly hall and another on the bridge.. .

Let me first say I applaud the basic premise: financial transparency from the WT. I think it would absolutly stun average dubbies.

That said, the initial tittle of this post is misleading. When i read "jehovahs witnesses Requesting fincial transparency" the impression is that a large group of witness is pushing for such. While the number two does technically merit a plural form of discussion it hardly represents any noteworthy movement of jehovahs witnesses in Spain, or in any other country for that matter.

Then there is the manner of the request. A request for fincial transparency is usually associated with legal documents and formal requests. The answer to such would be either a written refusal with some perfunctory explanation or documents laying out the fincial records of the institution petitioned to provided such. This is two masked people with a bed sheet in front of a kingdom hall, at night, with no one else around to see or actually make a formal reply. Assuming there is a camera person and its not simply on A tripod we have a grand total of three people taking a picture in front of a kingdom hall at night.

Then there is the matter of them being masked. Official requests for transparncy, by their nature, have names of people and organizations attached to them. This is important because there has to be some basis for the request. Often it would share holders of a corporation or even the government making such a request but at times other outside interested parties may attempt to get fincial records... However they have to show cause. Thus names are important. Given that the two visiable persons in the first picture are masked we cannot identify them and confirm that they are indeed members of the organization of Jehovahs Witnesses, which would give them some standing to be interested in that organizations fincial transparency.

For these reasons, I submit that two masked people holding a bed sheet at night in front of an unoccupied kingdom hall in some undisclosed spanish speaking place does not actually fit the discription proposed in the tittle of this thread.

my mom called me yesterday to ask how i was doing.

i hadn't seen her in a while, so it was nice to hear her voice.

we went through the motions of jw small talk and then she started telling me about her co visit from last week.

Can the Redwoods Date the Flood?

by Seven in

science, biblical and anti-biblical, recognizes that there was a period of time in the distant past when the earth was barren.

how long ago and how long it lasted is a matter of conjecture...unless one accepts the biblical record.

but out in california, almost as far west as one can go, there stand beautiful monuments to the past-the redwoods: monuments that were seedlings when noah was laid to rest; saplings when the tower of babylon was deserted; stalwart young giants when david downed his giant.

_Morpheus

Great links and information on the bristlecone pines. As a side note/line of reasoning, its not entirely logical to suggest "oh there are no redwoods older than the flood ergo the flood happened". One would also need to reason on how they restablished after the flood. A catrophy of that magnitude , covering the globe for a year, would have killed any viable seedstock, being soaked that long with no sun light. If you want to play the half assed logic card at least play it all the way through.

So, dead members of the 144,000 help direct the preaching work from beyond the grave?

by Zoos in

did i understand that right?

was that a claim rutherford made?.

i don't suppose anyone has that quote..

_Morpheus

Although i dont have a specific quote to support that the premise is implied in dubbie doctrine. When a member of the 144,000 dies they are, in this the lords day, resurected immediatly to heavenly life. Once resurected they are said to sit at jesus right hand. Since he is directing the work they are assisting him and thus directing from beyond the grave...
