  Governing Body Helpers ----- Who are they? Are they future GB in the making?

  by adjusted knowledge in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  so after nearly 15 to 19 years of not attending a convention, i can't recall exactly, i went to one last year.

  the brother giving the talk was from bethel and was introduced as a helper of the governing body.

  it was a title i never heard of before.

  He even named the splinter groups that were formed and then caught his mistake and warned those not to google the names he just mentioned

  Interresting and strange. At the beginning of my knowing of TTATT, it was a technic I used sometimes when I had a talk. Saying discreetly something it's not really known by the average joe's JW, and after to say like a warning like "but never check about that".

  And during some weeks, you can be sure it's some brothers and sisters who come to ask me about this point. It's a basic human psychollogy point : If you ask to someone to never do something, he will be attracted to do it.

  If this "GB helper" wanted that more people possible google the names he said, he won't use a more efficient technic.

  Good Netflix shows to watch

  in the long winter nights you need some good tv shows to watch while you wait for the eternity between seasons of game of thrones.. we've watched marco polo (pretty good) and have just started watching orange is the new black which is not at all what i imagined (didn't know it was funny!).

  house of cards is on the list too as we've heard good things about that.. anyone have any others that are worth seeing?.

  Astronomers Find Some Other Earthlike Planets Out There

  http://www.businessweek.com/news/2015-01-06/astronomers-find-some-other-earthlike-planets-out-there.

  this is not really anything new, but every time i see one of these articles about earth like planets in habitable zones, i can't help but hear he echo of past indoctrination at wt studies etc saying "oh how unique earth is to be placed where it is blah blah blah impossible odds".

  there are many more articles on this subject that have much less conservative ideas of potentially how many "earth like" planets could be out there, staggering numbers actually.

  we are special, because otherwise we would not be here to write about it. but: of all the trillions of possible planets.

  When I read that, I think at a guy, who never leave his home and say "I am special, because otherwise I would not be here to write about it. but: of all the billions of possible homes of earth.

  Then, what's the argument here ? In what we are somewhere means something special?

  If you're bothered by god murdering innocent children, you must have a "critical heart"

  by OneEyedJoe in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  this week's book study contains this gem:.

  the way in which the bible is written serves to test what is in our heart.

  hebrews 4:12 says: the word [or, message] of god is alive and exerts power and is sharper than any two-edged sword and pierces even to the dividing of soul and spirit .

  The WTS has always been an apostate goat disguised to look like it was the true Shepard for all mankind.

  I just think it's more and more clear. Before they really was more wise to hide that fact well!

  Isn't the teaching of the "faithful and discreet slave" a type/anti-type??

  Yes...typically!

  They are clearly, lately  doctrinaly, shooting a lot a bullet in their feet,

   I watch the US version of Shameless (Showtime)

  the US version is really more crazy (in a good way) than the UK version. But it's just my opinion!

  'God' isn't the answer to anything, it's just intellectual laziness.

  Totally, and it's true even if God exists!

  there are a few things i picked up from watchtowerism that i still find value in.

  (although, i could have easily picked them up elsewhere.).

  one of these is the 30-day test to abstain from all booze.. .
