  Jehovah Witness cult is Anti-christ.... proof seen in the use of BCE/CE instead of AD/BC

  by goingthruthemotions in

  so being around this cult, i always found it interesting that the rest of christianity use ad/bc and the non christians use bce/ce.

  i never put two and two together.

  but, it dawned on me that once again there is hidden proof that the witness cult is and anti-christ cult.

  Would you warn your neighbors if a child molester lived on your street?

  by Stealth in

  just found out that someone who lives 4 doors down was convicted of molesting a 4 year old child twice.

  the second time was after he was arrested and released on bond from the first arrest.

  having two 4 year old children living in my home, i am concerned.

  My question is, should I notify my neighbors about this pedo on our street?

  
  If you are one of Jehovah's Witnesses, NO.

  If you are not one of Jehovah's witnesses, absolutely YES.

  If the Governing Body members had to take a 'lie detector test' what questions would you recommend they are asked?

  by Esse quam videri in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i think it is reasonable for every leader or head of any organization that has control of peoples thinking and actions should, by law, submit to a lie detector test.

  the results would be accessible to any one who had an interest in the matter.this test would be required before appointment to any position and on a yearly basis.

  questions could be submitted to a competent and unbiased committee for approval.

  It is understood, of course, that while the members of the Governing Body are electronically attached to the lie detector, the interrogator could ask them to elaborate on their replies and give more detail, where necessary.

  Romans 8:20-23

  20 For the creation was subjected to frustration, not by its own choice, but by the will of the one who subjected it, in hope 21 that[a] the creation itself will be liberated from its bondage to decay and brought into the freedom and glory of the children of God.

  22 We know that the whole creation has been groaning as in the pains of childbirth right up to the present time. 23 Not only so, but we ourselves, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly as we wait eagerly for our adoption to sonship, the redemption of our bodies.

  Hebrews 9:26-27

  26 For then must he often have suffered since the foundation of the world: but now once in the end of the world hath he appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself.

  27 And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:

  
  

  Ephesians 1:10

  10 to be put into effect when the times reach their fulfillment—to bring unity to all things in heaven and on earth under Christ.

The results would be accessible to any one who had an interest in the matter.This test would be required before appointment to any position and on a yearly basis. Questions could be submitted to a competent and unbiased committee for approval. A required minimum number could be set, perhaps 100, with many more questions if the situation required it. Perhaps a situation involving control over a persons actions, speech, behavior, beliefs etc. would require many more questions. Everyone would want to be assured that these people put into powerful positions would be worthy, honest and properly qualified.
  

  Therefore, what questions would you submit for the members of the Governing Body to answer while they are attached to a lie detector?

  what year comes to your mind as the happiest?

  maybe some special place you lived, being with special people, an unforgettable period that made it your happiest.

  Bro Loesch's talk.

  by New day in

  recently i heard through video link to our kh a talk by bro loesch where he attacked university study (again) but this time he prefaced his remarks by saying, and i quote, "the faithful slave does not forbid you to go to university.

  " so this was a bad start as his following remarks made it clear that this was just a way of seeming reasonable while basically saying that we shouldn't do it.

  he went on to use an illustration i think he has used before about a man with ocd who decided to kill himself.

  while working on a comments for one of the articles in the march 15, 2015 watchtower (on types and antitypes) i decided to make a transcript of the talk that turned into that particular article.

  as usual, the article that finally saw print had evolved quite a bit from the original.. anyway, here's the transcript that i also put up on the ad1914.com site.. the 2014 annual meeting program video can be found on tv.jw.org (currently found under programs and events).

  the following speech can be found about the 2 hour and 8 minute mark in the video.
