  WTBTS: Do Not Mark Donations For Relief Efforts - Mark World Wide Work

  by Honesty in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  i have just talked with the wtbts service department at 718-560-5000.. you can contribute for hurricane katrina relief efforts through your local kingdom hall and put your donation in the contribution box marked for the world wide work.

  you may also send donations directly to the branch office... to the brooklyn address.

  donations should be marked for the world wide work and not specificically reserved for relief efforts.

  Oh well, a year has 12 months, the GB has 12 members. Guess what? Someone who probably reads this board is "running ahead of the organization" and has put together a wonderful and new theocratic publication.

  There is only two answers to this question...

  1. One of these twelve will turn Apostate...or

  2. Theodore Jaracz (the boss) really thinks of himself as Jesus

  I vote for number 2

  I'd vote for number 2 also. Except that I think that Teddy actually believes that Jesus is the King. And that he, Ted, is his Prime Minister!

  Ya know, the king has only a symbolic role and the prime minister is the real chief of government... The same goes for the WT Kingdom: Jesus has a token role, but Ted is the The Boss!

  Cygnus, I have often repeated that story, as I was one table over from Freddie that whole week, as he wore it all week right after the other GBs said we had to dress up like it was a meeting! "Where in the hell is McCook, Nebraska?"

  Neo, great job, I borrowed your essay for my GB pages! :-))

  Great, Randy!

  I'd never heard this story about Freddie. I think he never managed to stay quiet after his loss of power in the seventies. "Where in the hell is McCook, Nebraska?" is cool, I'm with the others.

  Poztate,

  "The 12 apostles acted as an authoritative central governing body."
  
  The Watchtower 5/15/97 p.15

  I find this a strange statement to make as Judas...one of the original twelve betrayed Jesus.

  Well, maybe they see Ray as Judas, don't they actually say so?

  Anyway, the WT would probably answer your question in the following fashion, I guess:

  *** w90 3/15 p. 11 ‘The Faithful Slave’ and Its Governing Body ***

  While all anointed Christians collectively form God’s household, there is abundant evidence that Christ chose a small number of men out of the slave class to serve as a visible governing body. The early history of the congregation shows that the 12 apostles, including Matthias, were the foundation of the first-century governing body. Acts 1:20-26 provides us with an indication of this. In connection with a replacement for Judas Iscariot, reference is there made to "his office of oversight" and to "this ministry and apostleship."

  Do any jw pubs say "Due time has approached" ala Luke 21:8?

  by Check_Your_Premises in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  luke 21:8.

  8 he said: "look out that you are not misled; for many will come on the basis of my name, saying, i am he, and, the due time has approached.

  just curious.

  The oldest WT publication that said "the due time has approached" (NWT's word choice) in its title is "The Time is At Hand," presented here in two different hard covers:

  

  

  It was Part II of the "Studies in the Scriptures" book series (aka "Millennial Dawn"). The book can be read at http://www.strictlygenteel.co.uk/timeisathand/title.html.

  Compare to the American Standard Version's rendering of Luke 21:8:

  And he said, Take heed that ye be not led astray: for many shall come in my name, saying, I am he; and, The time is at hand: go ye not after them.

  Excellent research Neo.

  I felt free to transform it for the germans: http://www.sektenausstieg.net/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=1326&Itemid=29
  
  you know: "apostates" are always informed first

  Wow! It is cool. The more languages, the better.

  Thanks!
