if this has been discussed i missed it.
i think the january study watchtower is a concerted attempt to reduce the numbers claiming to be anointed.
but i love the sneaky way they go about it this time.
i get easily confused with all this annointed garbage--so can anyone clarify this:-
the " bride" of christ is in reality mostly men from the 12 tribes of israel--right ?
add this to there being no mention of jesus having a wife--in the bible---does this suggest that he is a homosexual ?
just got my annual advertisement from illinois international travel (apparently run by jws).
for $1,199 i can take a tour from september 17-25. why are they printing so much bible literature if the witnesses are supposed to be using tablets?.
saturday: first stop at new yorks newark airport, then transferred to a marriott hotel.
chairs a banc.
a coach.

from a reliable source:.
a young cobe - late thirties, maybe forty - has resigned in december 2015, both as the cobe and as an elder.
word is that he is a man with a young family who is stressed out and has had enough.
Sorry to be a noob.... what's COBE?
i had to ask the same question--5 years ago
Co-ordinator of the Body of Elders. whatever that means. probably what us old timers knew as the congregation servant.

after sitting through last sunday's watchtower i got so sick of seeing the bobbing/nodding heads when talking about the pictures.
they act like god himself took the picture.
there must have been 10 comments about the group in service and the one brother was looking at his phone with a smile, which is a dead give away that he was reading something interesting.. what got me was how the older brother in the posed picture had a bible in his hand had a stern look on his face looking at the young brother.

yep----that took me back 50 years. rows of batty old women lapping up every word.
put aside all the stupid rules,beliefs,doctrines and practices of the jehovah's witnesses.this is one of the main reasons why i stopped attending all meetings!
boredom.
monotone speakers.
that top photo adds a whole new meaning to
BOARD ROOM
if you were a jw and are now an atheist or agnostic, what was the tipping point that made you turn to it?.
the reason i ask is i have noticed that many who leave the jw's seem to turn to atheism, versus still having some form of a faith.
have many of you given up on god first or have you had atheistic views first and then found atheism to be true.
now this is a church an athiest would be really happy with.
hilarious!.
