  "holding the anointed elders in his right hand"

  by oppostate in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  (ks10 p11:1) revelation 1:20 depicts jesus as holding the anointed elders in his right hand, thus, by extension, indicating that he controls all bodies of elders for the purpose of accomplishing jehovah’s will.

  (re pp.

  in the shepherding book it says "holding the anointed elders in his right hand".

  I used to rationalize that since the Bible was written for the anointed according to the Watchtower and I was just considered "other sheep" it wasn't my responsibility to go from door to door - it was the anointed who were commanded to preach.

  Watchtower treatment and view of gay people is not much different than other Christian religions.

  Yeah we all know the trumpet blasts were from pronouncements made at conventions at Cedar Point, Ohio back in the 1920s.

  Newspaper article on Conventions—why so glowing?

  by Londo111 in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  every year in dozens of cities where conventions are being held, newspapers typically write an article about the event.

  there are exceptions, but usually it is like the articles above.

  i would love to see more newspaper articles that did some actual objective reporting, rather than puff pieces.

  DY:

  Your comments are so pathetic.

  I know...., it is difficult for many in this forum to attach any credit to the WTBTS.

  I know. it was difficult for Jesus Christ in the scriptures to attach any credit to the Pharisees outer appearance of cleanliness and appearance of respectability.

  Convention coming to a city near YOU...

  ...and it's our duty to warn non-jws, or half awake jws about these events, as they start appearing in newspapers throughout the us, and abroad.

  it almost comes out as a promotional ad for the jw convention.

  the 'current events' editing staff of this paper likely has no idea what their promoting.

  Cofty,

  Why not have them sanction gay weddings. Turning a place of worship into a house of commerce is condemned in the bible also but they make allowances for that with their debit/credit card machines in their worship centers. Overlapping generation equalling 1 generation isn't biblical either. Jesus was silent about homosexuality. Isn't he is the one to closely follow and not Paul (was was the one who condemned men being together in his letters)?

  noun

  noun: discrimination; plural noun: discriminations

  1. 1.

     the unjust or prejudicial treatment of different categories of people or things, especially on the grounds of race, age, or sex.

  I don't know if it is "homophobic" but it certainly dehumanizes a demographic and promotes bigotry and perpetuates a lie that gays have a choice.
