  April 2019 Watchtower article 'Uphold the TRUTH about death'

  by Listener in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  it appears this study article has been written because the organization is still having trouble teaching african jws that they are not to follow their traditional customs when someone dies and not to believe in spirits.it has been speculated for some time that it is african jws that have attributed to the increase in 'anointed' partakers.interestingly, no-where in this article does it even mention their two class system and the anointed having a heavenly hope.

  it is amazing that they title the article as upholding the truth about death and fail to mention their two hope doctrine.the following are some quotes -.

  satan, “the father of the lie,” has deceived people since the start of human history.

  I agree with asp59

  A few years back...I was on a spoof Facebook group...which attracted a lot of African is males. All thought they had a good chance of finding an American or European wife. Anything to get a visa.

  am from the netherlands and called myself still a jw even i was "dis-fellow-shipped" in 2018 by telephone because of my critics to the governing body and all misinterpretations in the name of my god.

  my question is if somebody can help me from the us to find one can of this oil or fiches, advertisements from the desmond's miracle oil which was advertised in the golden age of 1922 more times.

  today i produce the weide's yellow miracle oil from netherlands.

  MICHIGAN PEOPLE!!!...Multi-millionaire witness Pat Patterson.....

  by integ in

  anyone heard of this guy?.

  he built up an insurance agency in michigan, and sold it for over 10 million dollars.. apparently, at his big office in novi, michigan, he only hires witnesses and they are all making big bucks.. i know an agent who was going to work for him in another state (they do business in 10 states i think), but declined to sign up when he found out the organization was owned and operated by witnesses.. he said: "that explains the ridiculously low commissions they pay their agents".

  they sell alot of life insurance.. why would this witness owned agency push life insurance if the end is so near???.

  Interesting days text today

  sunday, december 30. asa’s heart was complete with jehovah all his life.—1 ki.

  15:14.. each of us can examine his heart to see if it is fully devoted to god.

  ask yourself, ‘am i determined to please jehovah, to defend true worship, and to protect his people from any corrupting influence?’ for example, what if someone close to you has to be disfellowshipped?

  given enough publicity, ive no doubt a great many more previously abused children will rise to the surface--at $4 million each. this applies to all religions of course.

  does anyone remember the book paradise lost to paradise regained?

  i was made to study the scary parts evertime i misbehaved which must have been all the time as the book imprinted into my brain.all i wanted in life as a child was to join the girl guides go hang out at the ywca with my friends and take part in sports day at school.so my mother asked the then congregation servant if i was demonized,they decided i would be fertalizer for my mothers pear tree.

  anyway i grew up fairly normal,took me ages not to be afraid of lightning.had children who never entered a kingdom hall.most of my family served in some capacity at bethel so they dont talk to me.since then i have been a searcher looking for somthing to fill the void.has anyone found anything??

  Chaos at Gatwick Airport

  perhaps all major airports will eventually employ their own industrial sized drone, operated by a trained/authorised pilot who can track and pinpoint the nut-jobs who cause such disruption and possible catastrophe..

  i think its going to be a perfect black mail opportunity.

  a phone call to a national tv company saying a drone will be launched into a major airport--tomorrow--unless the government coughs up a million. not a lot. the gov would have to pay.

  no need to threaten to kill anyone--just major disruption.

  then--rinse and repeat. again and again.

  Languages, Dialects, Accents

  by LoveUniHateExams in

  just though i'd start a thread devoted to languages, dialects/sociolects and accents, with the idea being that posters can comment on any language, or dialect or accent of any language, on this thread.. any phrases, expressions or idioms that you find interesting are also welcome.

  first, the subject of english accents came up on another thread.. the british isles have many different types of accent (although many of the dialects may be dying out), and if i start to take a closer look, i can't help but see 'patterns' .... in received pronunciation of standard english, the letter r is pronounced initially, between vowels, and after consonants, e.g.

  red, arrow, break.

  as a nerdy little swot at the kingdom hall meetings i read up the list of languages the watchtower was printed in. one such language was tagalog. i dont know why--it amused me. i had no idea where it was spoken. but i soon forgot that.

  now--60 years later--it is often spoken in my house--it is one of many languages of the Philippines, and my wife is filipina. she usually speaks tagalog to her family, scattered all over the world. she is also fluent in ilocano., but doesnt understand vissaya, cebuana or loads of other local dialects.

  so far i have failed to learn any tagalog. ignorance seems bliss.
