  Has anyone asked......

  has anyone ever asked someone about way the memorial is still celebrated?

  the belief is it is to be done yearly until he arrives, but he was supposed to arrive in 1914. so if that?s the case, he?s already here.

  why is it still being celebrated?

  Who is really superior?

  by mjl in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  here?s question, we had a talk a few weeks about the "gifts in men," namely the elders.

  they kept on saying how much more superior the congregation is over the elders, the elders in essence work for us and are our servants or slaves.

  nice thought and all but if that?s the case why is there so much secrecy?

  1 John 4:1

  by mjl in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  went to the meeting this morning and stayed for the talk.

  the speaker used a text that i thought was very ironic, 1 john 4:1 which reads " beloved ones, do not believe every inspired expression, but test the inspired expressions to see whether they origanate with god, because many false prophets have gone forth into the world.

  " i found this ironic becuase we were trained not to test anything in the publications and never question what we hear from the platform.
