  I lied on my time once that I recall.Ifelt so guilty that before I left the hall I went back to the box and tried to pull the slip back out to change it.These days ive noticed some pretty crafty ways to get time in and have bible studies.Regular pioneers are great at starting a study and then have their spouse go with them(so they can count time)then if the householder has kids the spouse pioneer reads to them for about a half hour and calls that a bible study.They dont bring the friends along on those studies.Regular pioneers must be getting some strong admonition from pioneer school to get baptism candadates at any cost.

  These days if a parent they are studying with does not get baptised right away they bring up baptism for their children and how it will be a protection from the world.Especially with those teenage years coming up soon.(at last years dc there was a 7 yr old baptised)That would have been unheard of back in my day.

  GB are reading out posts?

  by Gill in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  recently i was reading and writing posts of why lot would offer his daughters to the men of sodom and someone else was asking or commenting on why uzziah was killed for trying to stop the ark of c. from falling.

  well, lo and behold, the feb 1st watchtower addresses both of these questions and suggests that we should not be questioning these events as god knows what he's doing?.

  are you listening (or reading) gb or gb representatives.

  Well being that the elders snoop into peoples computers to see where youve been.You would have to assume at least some of the elders go to the apostate sights and see for themselves.Its human nature to be curious,just look at adam and eve.

  scenario: i've had an elder call me a couple times now over the last seven years.

  our conversations have gone similar to the one below, but the one below is what i'm going to say this next time and see what happens:.

  elder calls: brother xxx where have you been.

  Pintail,Thats a blast from the past. MY dad when he was out of work in the 70s was offered a job with a brother named DOYLE MELTON who owned Trimline.Dad scraped all his money together and bought a truck and some tools.He was never fast enough to make money though.He was too much of a perfectionist.

  THE GENERATION OF 1914

  by Mary in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  it makes you wonder when exactly the governing body and their lawyers decided to change the "generation of 1914" doctrine.

  the first quotation below is from the 1992 wt and the second one from the 1993 brochure the purpose of life, just two lousy years before they imfamously dropped the whole idea:

  *** w92 5/1 p. 7 the 1914 generation?why significant?

  Everyone here knows the society is full of it.I think the trick is going to involve some psychology to reach these people.Theres too much emotion and to much invested or at stake for them.MUCH AS A POKER PLAYER WHO HAS BEEN BETTING BIG IN A HAND OF CARDS.He or she may have pulled 3 dueces early and after being raised a couple times they start to doubt their hand.However because they have so much invested already they stay in because someone might be bluffing or they may feel that what they have might really be enough. Either way they wont lose that much to find out compared to what they might lose if they dont stay in.

  Non internet infor on UN scandal..please!

  by Gill in

  2. friends

  i am a fortunate 'apostate'.

  my parents are still speaking to me, regularly, and we also have been discussing jw doctrine.

  however, they do not believe anything i tell them about the un scandal and that the wtbts was a member of the un for ten years before being removed by the un.

  The UN NGO is explained away easily by the elders.For me one thing that has my mom thinking is that JESUS is not her mediator.The society still believes though rarely makes the statement that "Jesus is the mediator of the chosen ones"The great crowd benifit from being associated with them and can recieve everlasting life on earth.

  I doubt if even half of the JWS understand that the wtbts believs that the greek scriptures only apply to the annointed class.It sure conflicts the fact that JESUS died for all mankind.

  I brought this to my moms attention and she didnt believe me.I told her to ask an elder and of course she said she didnt have to and that this was not so.

  She wont read anything except the wtbts.Guess what? I got very lucky and purchased an original "millions now living will never die book"I know she will pull the new light thing but it will still chip away at the stone....................................Thank you all for the great ideas and support in our fight for our loved ones.........................KO38

  The Watchtower: Sincere Old Men or Deliberate Deceivers?

  by metatron in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  when a witness encounters injustices engendered by the watchtower and considers them.

  with clarity of mind, he is likely to suppose that , at worst, the old men who run things.

  are sincere but misguided.

  I was in middle mangement for years with a 260 million a year corporation.I experienced first hand what happens when sales or profits were declining.People you thought were your friends(upper mgt)all of a sudden became very incensed at 'HOW COULD YOU LET THIS HAPPEN"People that have been exposed to serious money have but 1 ambition.TO MAKE MORE.260 a year is only 25 percent of what the jws pull in a year,not to mention other assets that could dwarf that number.

  Never forget that it is easier for a rich man to pass through the eye of a needle,than to inherit the kingdom of God.POWER CORRUPTS>

  Absolute power ABSOLUTELY CORRUPTS.

  If they will turn their backs on friends and family in favor of the society,Why would they have a problem with the wbts telling them that 1914 is when Jesus took his throne but when jesus said the generation will by no means pass away it meant brothers that Jehovah has not forgot them.Apparently brothers our generation is to see the end however a generation in Jehovahs eyes could mean those that have learned the truth as we know it today.thankfully we have the f&ds here with us to shine the way in understanding Jehovahs grand climax.Those that arent in his organization and that dont have the understanding we have TODAY are the one who in Jehovahs day willgnash their teeth.

  Christendom is in a state of despair at this VERY TIME.We see the greed and aligning of themselves with the disgusting thing more TODAY then ever before.Jehovah will not forsake his LOYAL ones,LETs not forsake him or his promise by being impatient.Certainly we do not presume to RUSH Jehovah.

  I know that was crude,but I could see the society saying anything they want and getting away with it

  Is Jehovah the God of "Impartial Love"??

  by frankiespeakin in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i think most would agree that real true love has to be impartial,,no favoritism,,completely fair,,equal concern,, reguardless of race,,nationality,,or even species.. yet when we read the bible what do we find?

  we find god hating no only singled out persons, but entire nationalities.

  he even tell his people to sacrifice innocent animals for sins,,i don't know about you but i see a big discrepancy here, if god is supposed to be impartial.
