if you have the jw app running on your tablet, watch the latest (may) governing broadcast and hear tony the jackass, and when you get to 7 minutes and 44 seconds ...hit the pause button.. read the words at the bottom of the screen as per the jw app close captioning.. "well beyond the intent of the scriptures" .
he is describing the governing body past, like the ghost of christmas past.
yes, the governing body past were a bunch of freaking yahoo's violating 1 cor.
I tried to post a screenshot but failed. But anyone who wants to hear it and see it for themselves need only go to tv.jw.org and tune in to the May broadcast. Fast forward to the 7:30 mark. Pay attention particularly at 7:44
if you can get the close caption on, pause the video.
When you see Tony with the words underneath...
"well beyond the intent of the scriptures"
Let it sink in...

So, Tony, ...what else did GBPast teach that was "beyond the scriptures"?
And what is GBPresent teaching that GBFuture will declare "well beyond the intent of the scriptures"..?
newest watchtower revelations from heaven indicate the importance of color in teaching the truth about god.. the governing body has prayed fervently over this new teaching and jehovah's witnesses the world around receive it gratefully as "food at the proper time".. in view of the importance placed on color, as found in god's holy word the bible, the governing body has deemed it necessary for a new understanding on important spiritual matters.
(see link).... http://wol.jw.org/en/wol/d/r1/lp-e/1200001009?q=color&p=par.
we can see from the aforementioned information that color in the scriptures should not be neglected, as it plays a vital role in understanding god's plan for mankind.

We can see from the aforementioned information that color in the Scriptures should not be neglected, as it plays a vital role in understanding God's plan for mankind. The Governing Body is pleased to release this new information to God's people, especially so close to the end.
As is clear, with this "increased light", specific colors in the Bible have important meaning.
For instance,
Yes white is so very important. However,
Purple, therefore correctly represents our King's "royal majesty"and hence clearly, and unquestionably "the thousand years" when Jesus sets all matters straight on the Earth. Therefore, the Governing Body has determined that it is, without question highly important that Jehovah's people on earth recognize things according to their color. Such being the case, the color "purple" correctly designates the 1000 years of Christ's rule.
Hence, "we must advertise, advertise, advertise" Jesus' Purple Reign.
as far as the "memorial" goes... .
should an anointed follower of jesus share the cup with unbelievers?
would the cup not be polluted by an outsider, invited in to a sacred thing?.
And what about children? Do we pass it to them to see if they feel the need to partake?
'annointed children'

it is a challenge coming to terms with your experience as a jehovah's witness.
if you were born and raised as a jw, and your parents were true believers, the impact on your life is profound, lasting, and largely negative.
in some cases quite abusive emotionally, spiritually, financially, educationally and yes, even sexually.. i recently watched "trumbo", and was quite moved by dalton trumbo's speech to the screen writers guild in 1970. here is an excerpt that i think is quite relevant to this topic:.
Lee Elder. Like most here, I agree with your sentiments, up until the last paragraph.
You mention Ray Franz and his feelings. You would be incorrect in what you say there. Firstly, Ray was explicit in that there is no "organization" as a separate entity from the people "of" the organization. The "organization" IS the people.
Such that it is, the fact the leaders are corrupt and the organization is corrupt is not a strange concept. The organization did NOT victimize the leaders. The leaders are they who caused, using the organization, the victims to be victimized.
Further on Ray. I had opportunity, both in letters and on the telephone, to discuss this topic with Ray. From my personal experience I can tell you that you have not reflected the man or his evolved beliefs in what you say.
For example, Ray, in the beginning, as is demonstrated in his writings, felt that the organization could be saved. He even intimated that anyone involved with the organization was a victim in a broad sense, thus it could be said that he felt, early on, that even the top brass were victims.
However, if you watch the videos of Ray later on, you see that he changed this opinion greatly.
I saw it personally. I wrote him almost 20 years ago and told him of what I was doing locally. He wrote me back and objected, "why would you want to do that" (I don't disclose what IT is). What I was doing was anti-watchtower activity.
However, as time went by, I found that Ray put the whole UN affair in CofC. I contacted him about this.
The UN affair was not his experience. It was not his crisis of conscience. It was mine, it was others, it was not his.
He had come full circle, as is demonstrated in this act, and in his later videos. His interest eventually became the exposing of watchtower leading to its distruction.
Thus, he pointed the finger squarely at the governing body from whom he sprung. They are NOT victims. They are the victimizers.
was told by someone that a receipt article eluded to the fact that satan can cause natural disasters.
i don't see how i could have missed this.
doesn't anyone remember this?
According to Watchtower, Jesus is the cause of all the suffering on Earth. They teach as doctrine, that Jesus is using earthquakes, pestilence, war and any other suffering as a 'calling card' to demonstrate that he is secretly lurking in Earth's neighborhood.
