WT 3-1-05 - Bible sets precedent for receiving governmental aid?
by Bonnie_Clyde in
1. watchtower
2. bible
page 27 - under "jehovah's word is alive," it comments on chapter 2, verse 2: "ruth wanted to take advantage of the provision of gleaning made for the benefit of the foreigners and the afflicted.

she was humble at heart.

a needy christian should not be too proud to accept the loving assistance of fellow believers or any governmental aid he or she may qualify for.".

talking about 1975 and the push by the society got me to looking at some older quotes.

this one here really bugged me and still pisses me off when i read it.

in this instance they are telling you to forget about jesus and listen to the society.

Studying the new "Keep on the Watch!" brochure - Contradictions on page 18?
by ozziepost in
1. watchtower
2. bible
it's a while since i reviewed the publications that dubs use on their "home bible studies", so the release of a new brochure gives us that opportunity again!.

dubs will be using the "keep on the watch!

" brochure to "invite" the lapsed, as well as the recently interested ones to commit themselves to "god's earthly organisation".. the trouble is, that the writing department have used this glossy brochure to misrepresent the 'real' truth.. page 18 shows a picture of a happy social gathering in "the new system".

OK, what is the deal on celebrating birthdays? Have they changed the rules?
by wiegel in
1. jw
2. friends
i have been away from the meetings for quite a few years, but have family who are still involved.

my immediate family member who is still a witness, maybe still an elder, has taken to joining the family of non-witnesses with his witness family on father's day, and more recently wishing another family member happy birthday and planning to attend the gathering for dinner.

still feeling the deep scars from ceasing this practice myself in the early 70's (dad disowned me, mother accused me of not loving them) when i became a dub, i am trying not to start boiling inside if they have now "changed" the rules again.

i don't think i am breaking any copyright law here by retyping (quoting) a small section from the km.. just look what tactics the organisation are using by appealing to the consience of those trapped!respecting jehovah's authority.

with what do you associate the ancient names korah, dathan, and abiram?

rebellion!
