What is the next flash of New Light?

by Pole in

i personally feel they will have to "adjust" the fds doctrine.

the tricky thing is that the fds (whoever they are) won't approve this change while they're still alive.

they don't care, they subconsciously feel it's their end anyway and they won't undermine their doctrinal position having lost all corporate power.. so who will send this beam of new light?

TheEdge

BUT if those young ones decide to (after the old ones died shortly) do away with the FDS

HOW? THe FDS are approved by God - how can man dismiss them?

Were You Truly Aware of What Your Baptism Meant?

by minimus in

jw
friends

some got baptized as kids.

others---a lot older.

at whatever age you were, did you really know what you were getting into?

TheEdge

Baptism - meaningless - just something to get out of the way in order to relieve THAT particular pressure and continue (hopefully) with a normal life.

The FDS is God's earthly channel - relaying 'Spiritual food' at the correct time - all from God - so the ORIGINAL FDS (at the turn of the previous Century) were either faking or receiving information from elsewhere (or just dreaming it) - their prophesies proved WRONG (and God would make this information CLEAR as so many lives depended on it)......and it goes on over the years...one false prophesy after another, ALL originating with God??lol

Never ending JWism.....AAAgh!

by Gill in

jw
friends

did you , when you were a 'proper' jw, or even a jw of any description, believe that after armageddon you wouldn't have to go to the meetings and out on field service anymore?

surely, after armageddon the control and work from jehovah would get even greater and the nightmare of being a jw would truly never end.. do you get my drift or have i had too much merlot?.

i ask this because my father told me that 'they' needed all these new khs for when the dead are resurrected and they have to look after them and study with them.

TheEdge

Gill, are you crazy, I mean MERLOT???

UN Scandal - does anyone know the reason they joined to start with?

by AK - Jeff in

like most on this board, i know the story, have seen the un press release, ect.

but can someone comment on two questions for me?.

who caught them with their hands in the cookie jar?

TheEdge

BUT the Society didn't HAVE to join as an NGO to OBTAIN said library card (as I understand) - so there has to be another reason. Anyway - what has the UN library got that is sooooo important it takes 10 yaers to absorb? Is this information passed on to the ''flock''?

Another thing - the Society withdrew from the UN in 2001 - was this because the policy changed that year (UN library thing due to 9/11) OR because that's when they were exposed?

JW's were allowed to take blood at one time?

by ithinkisee in

http://members.aol.com/beyondjw/da.htm

in this disassociation letter example it says the following:.

"at one time, all blood products were unacceptable.

TheEdge

1925 - The man who frequently donates blood for transfusion is commended. (Golden Age, 7/29, p. 683, #52).

So it's ok to give but not receive? - I know that a lot of ideas have ~~flip-flopped~~ progressed - and that Scriptures are now being interpreted ~~manipulated~~ to mean different things - but surely some things are black and white and GOD wouldn't expect us to have to wonder WHAT he means by something in a life threatening situation.

Both the Watchtower and "You Know" are wrong, wrong, WRONG!

by Schizm in

will people who die at armageddon really be finished forever?

yes, the scripture says that they will be "killed" but not thrown into the lake of fire.

but what about the scripture at revelation 17:8?

TheEdge

Hey - I'm a child of my mother, who is an active JW.... does that mean I get a "gold card" in???? I mean, since my parent decides my fate

Tash - reading this, I was thinking exactly the same - so we can sin as much as we like so long as our Mum's are loyal JWs?

Didn't Noah preach about the impending flood for 40 years? and everyone dismissed him as mada wonder his Ark never got vandalised on a regular basis while he was building it.
