Brownboy, if you had informed the elders of you being on an apostate site, wouldn't they be very unhappy with you? You say there is nothing wrong about being here, ( I agree, there isn't) But you are on an "apostate" site, according to the witnesses. And from when I did attend meetings, I remember them very clearly making it known that they believed this was very bad.
I REALLY hope for your own sake that you can open up your mind (not so that we can brainwash you or MISLEAD you) but so that you can see what the real truth about "The Truth" is and not what you have been taught.
~Sarah

Hi Sarah,

There is a reason that they warn people about apostate sites. An innocent person without a good foundation can easily be pursuaded to do wrong. That is the reasoning behind it. Believe me when I say, I have been trained by my experiences and will not sway easily. It is righteous in God's eyes to do good. The brothers and sisters at the hall are receiving instruction. I will try hard to bring anyone back to a spiritual wellness. But there will be a time when enough is enough. Jehovah will let me know in my heart when that time is.

As for you Sarah, please compare what you have learned to any other teaching. Please allow me to give you another point of view to what you may feel. I have experienced enough to have a good understanding and I am willing to share this with you. I am here to help those in need and who are willing.............have a great evening.

"The heart is more treacherous than anything else and is desperate. Jer 17:9 NWT

Very true. You must use every faculty available to you. Your thinking ability along with every perceptiveness that God gave to you. Thank you. I also noticed that you have used the NWT as yoiur source. I recall agreeing not to use this information on the internet in the license agreement. What do you think? Does anyone have the right to prevent any person from using what should be free to all? I think God's law might override the license agreement which should allow free usage of God's word.

Who is the new President of the Watchtower Society? And are there 7 new org

by booker-t in

i have been wondering who is the president of the watchtower society?

my mother told me that milton henschel died in 1993 and i have not heard of anybody ever replacing him?

my mom also told me that the society has 7 new corporations within the watchtower society.

Brownboy

Okay. There are at least two important corporations having their own leaders officers, vice president ond president. But does that mean the governing body itself is without any "president" or "leader? Is there no "primus interpares" ?
If so: For instance, what happens if the 10 members of the GB do NOT agree in an essential question? Who is the ultimate instance that is enough competent to tell the other members what is wrong or right? Many new upcoming questions cannot be answered only by an intensive bible study. Or are they going to ask Don Adams or Max Larson, who are NO GB-members, about their opinion in a specific important question? I cannot imagine how this system functions...
E. B.

Sounds like I have to do some research and intense bible study. I appreciate your intellect. But always remember the order of things. President, than Vice President. Order of subjection.

I have March 11th, 2005 as a critical point. Notice the two dates of November 2nd, and October 10th. This does not coincide with the exact date of March 11th, so it can occur any time. I can assure you that Mount Saint Helens is a sign of things to come. "The sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give it's light"

I calculated 42 months from September 11th, which I believe to be an important date. No big secret about this. As far as the volcano erupting, I will retract my assuredness, and restate that I believe it may have a significance. A lunar eclipse, and also a simple snow storm, could be in fulfillment of this prophecy. There is always more than one given prophecy to compare to in order to establish a fulfillment of prophecy. What do you think this prophecy means?

BB, this is a reasonable question:
Why haven't you informed the Elders at the KH about your activities here ?

How would you know if I have, or have not informed them Rabbit? You say that I haven't, how would you know this?
I have spoken with Elders in the congregation that I attend, and informed them of the reason that I left, and why I have returned. Is it wrong for me to question my beliefs, and also, is it wrong that I am spreading bible truths on the internet? Would Christ disapprove of my actions?

It's curious brownboy. You say that the WTS works in accordance to the bible, and I beleive you. The problem is that hundreds of religion work in accordance to the bible. Even the utterings of David Koresh were supported by one scripture or other. The difference comes from the deacon's decision as to what parts are to be decided literaly or figurativly. It also comes down to what scriptures are to be stressed above others and which ones are to be obscured of ignored completly. My questions are, what proof or reasoning do you use to decide that the WTS interpretation of the scriptures is better than others? What proof or reasoning do you use to decided that their changes in doctrine are devinely inspired by a direct pipeline to God? Finally, what proof or reasoning do you use to decide that none of the other churches have this pipeline? I'm not asking these questions to be troublesome. I realise and accept that many people have greatly improved their lives by becomming JW's and are perfectly happy in the org. Still, I'd love to see your thoughts on the matter because these are three of the issues that have stopped me from going back. To me it seems that the changes in doctrine are self serving and often defy logic.

These are the type of questions that I can appreciate. Without scorn or ridicule Christ came down to earth and gave us some examples on how to recognize His followers. A follower of Christ would not do things contrary to what Christ taught. Everyone is subject to some type of error because no single religion has the complete truth. If you recall the words of Christ, He said that many false prophets would arise and mislead even if possible, the chosen ones. I believe that some are raised to be followers of God, and some are chosen by their works. A false prophet is someone that claims to be from God, but if their works is contrary to what Christ teaches, then that would make them a false prophet. An interpretation of prophecy is not the same as claiming that you have visions from God separate from what the bible teaches. The WTS have not derived any new prophecy but have attempted to have an understanding, and have fallen short when it came to the calculations of the dates. The bible teaches that those who seek the truth will be given the understanding of the scriptures. They have not done anything contrary but have sought out bible truths. This holds true with many religions because many have good people with good hearts. Those religions that make it a practice to become rich from the people will have to answer to God, and people should try to avoid religious leaders such as this. And recall that the man of lawlessness will set himself up in the congregation as one from God but will prove false to the teachings of Christ. So there are many ways that a person can be misled. What determines a christian is what is found in the heart. Stick with the main teachings of Christ and wait until the truth is revealed to everyone. This is where blind faith comes in. Happy is the person that reads the word of God and puts faith in it. If you are a strong enough person in faith, you might be able to stand on your own and wait for Christ, because He taught that the body is the temple of God, and we can all worship in spirit and truth. I have seen lots of fulfillment of prophecy and know that Christ is at the door. Join with like ones in faith and put away things of this world. If you are misled then Jehovah will understand and will show you loving kindness. The WTS is in a position to teach bible truths because they have the tools set in place to do this. Whether or not they are a direct link to Jehovah will remain to be seen. I for one believe that they are the most accurate of all religions. I will show people that are truly sincere in their beliefs why I feel this way..............have a great day. Brownboy

So we can't ask about your prediliction for getting spanked with the Aid Book?

You wish to portrait yourself as a demon, or satan. Is this what is truly in your heart? In the future, this type of comment will be ignored. Jehovah condemns wickedness. This is true and can be verified by scripture.

What do the Elders think about your Prophecy?

I have not prophecied about anything. I just try to have an understanding. I have not been confronted by any Elders but I will show respect to the arrangement. Tell me if it is wrong to teach people about the bible, and about God. Is it wrong?

Did they make you an Elder ?

I am not an Elder, so the answer is no.

Or maybe...YOU could be, yes...more use to the WTS as a member of the Governing Body?

I only wish to teach truth, I humble myself to whatever Jehovah wills.

I am willing to answer your questions. I will keep secret what is necessary to keep secret. I will answer questions to those that are willing to learn. It is true I could easily be misled and therefore be misleading you also. How will you know unless you compare the information with the scriptures? All I ask is that everyone be genuine in your thoughts and comments. I will ask you all to correct my thinking with bible evidence.

Edited to add: I had no idea what highjacking a thread is. If I did highjack a thread, than I apologize for it. Please forgive me Jez.
