Another Shamorial Question...........

today at the meeting the dub made the statement that there might be some newbies who take a drink and eat the bread and that the dubs shouldn't tackle them and say they can't.

the ones other than these that do take are the annointed.

my question is how is one supposed to know that they are part of this 144,000?

Man, you are being too logical.... ask your PO these questions, he will kick you out in a heart beat! There are way too many loose ends in the dogma as you have found out. Once you find one piece of bs, you see the rest very quickly...... Run forest run

Hi all,
Haven't been in for a while. Just wanted to find out when the memorial is. The locals have been in a frenzy.... so should have been able to guess it must be close.
BTW I wouldn't go even if it WERE true.!!

i was asked what i thought when i saw all the bad things going on in the world and about how close we are to the end.

i replied "jeff, i simply do not believe that it's going to happen in my life time.

" he was momentarily stunned and said "well, when have things ever been this bad before?

Just called in to see when the memorial is to be held. Good job Mary. We had a visit today, but sadly we were not home ;-( but out youngets son was, they didn't leave him an invitation. I now send them back in an unstamped envelope so that they have to pay the postage!!
Take care all

just supplying a link to a newspaper article that was sent to me by a friend.

this guy [not the friend] conned them all.

worse still he was obviously believed by the spirit appointed and spirit directed, until it was too late.

Why cant the JW's see the need to hand this stuff over to the police first, then handle it when they are finished?

Holding hands during prayer.
by greenhornet in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
i remember with some jw family's during prayer every one would hold hands around the table.

i think it is like a cult or some pagan practice.

now that i am out of the box looking in, i find this practice weird.
geevee

In the mid seventies we were in a small country cong and it was almost mandatory that people in the same row hold hands...you were almost viewed as an apostate if you didn't... my brother used to hate having to hold my hand or my fathers!!!

Lame... like it made you more holy than others.

We haven't sat in a k-hall for nearly 3.5 years.

Let me start: Only ONE Awake! magazine a month.
One Wt for the public, one for the R&F.

Anyone else care to add some more?

Many thanks

The WTS lawyers ended the Book Study Arrangement
by lawrence in

to hell with the god-given book study arrangement, screw the spiritual table of food, and end the "brotherly fellowship".

the wts lawyers dictated, "end the home book studies, minimize our liability.

" and so the arrangement ended with an imprimatur by the wts lawyers, a boe letter, and a km article.

Thanks for the continued input. I haven't been paying much attention for a while... new CO arrangement? Whats that all about?

Also, I think that experience with this lot tells us that they never change any arrangement unless they have some other agenda. They aren't concerned about saving the Br and Sis money. If that were the case they would have dropped witnessing in rural territories years ago.

I think that there would have to be a hidden agenda. Maybe it is to do with the molestation cases, but it will be something that reduces the liability of the gb at some point for something. There is always a reason and it is usually to save them money, not the r&f. IMO

Wow!!!

The things you find out when you visit. Is there anymore to the official reasons why this is happening? I noted the comments from sir82, is there any letters that can be "quoted" from?

What is to happen with the "free" night that they all will have?
