  Beth Sarim - on previous page are you referring to JWs being "incensed" re/all the begging for money? Are they actually allowed to express disgust?

  Thanks -- That's closer to it than what I found googling and scanning through.

  I've a question for you knowledgeable ones -- SBF, Vanden, Earnest, Fisherman, Scholar, asqwsed -- too many to list - I blathered off a scripture from one of the recent biblical topics past couple of wks to friend who recently returned to meetings and my eyes (and loss of sleep) can't search any longer for it. It may have been 1 John 4:7? but more descriptive, modern, translation compared to my quick google search. It was worded 'you know God (or the Christ) and the world doesn't know nor wants to know ? that was the subject matter. I've skimmed thru the 'Trinity' and this topic -- several others but I was not reading thoroughly and laptop history no help. Trying to locate that exact scripture on this site.

  She knows I'm no Bible scholar and I told her from now on we only discuss makeup!

  Thanks - appreciate.

  wt 2021 october p.20 "in contrast, true worshippers of jehovah have no clergy.

  although we respect those who are taking the lead, we accept jesus’ clear teaching: “all of you are brothers.”".

  ijbq article 92 point 6: in contrast, true worshippers of jehovah have no clergy.

  Recall Ray Franz indicated in COC they emulate the Catholic church's hierarchy but profess otherwise, of course. It's quite a pecking order and obvious in each congregation.

  To All Those Keen To Tell Us About Their Beliefs

  by Simon in

  1. forum
  2. announcements

  we seem to have had an influx of religiots - the people who want to tell us all about how we / the wts / whoever are wrong, wrong, wrong about everything and how right they are.

  they obviously have special insight, or voices (probably voices, right?

  ) telling them the real truth.. as proof, there is inevitably a wall of random scripture references and quotes.. sorry, but we're not here for that.

  LongHairGal -- I start scrolling and if post is more than couple paragraphs, I keep truckin'. No hope for me re/aborbing the trinity issue if it's complicated. I do appreciate some topics re/JW views vs. mainstream xtianity and would hope it would help those questioning WT.

  At least I found my magic formula for insomnia -- (I'm afraid to take script drugs and baby Benadryl not good for the memory, etc., lots of bad, of course) try to learn something about what trinitarians believe and why they think WT radically wrong on that.

  Simon's 'we've heard that s___ before' hilarious - we don't do that ____ here - got it.😂

  I like the landline (great to locate my cell🤪) but keep ringers turned off to avoid all the marketing/political calls - enough of those on the cells. Not sure if my new cell can take on anymore 'blocked' calls. Landline was necessary for security gate and add'l security cos but not needed today. Amazing what landlines/fax costs are today -- think I'll doxx it all.

  I know seniors who insist on keeping the landlines (afraid they'll miss call from their grandchildren) and I have some cool, sleek, modern, ones -- oh well.

  I read some of one of the long posts by xyz/whatever (trinity issue) and it's the best knock out for sleep.

  I enjoy reading biblical posts but certainly not Bible literate -- Baptist church I attended as child/pre-teen was more for social/charity works and brain-washing no dancing, smoking, drinking, non-marital relations -- it worked other than dancing jr high on or pre-teen Cotillion nonsense. Oh my!

  Curtailing zoom

  by road to nowhere in

  2. beliefs

  co visit, so right from the horse's mouth ( or somewhere).

  too many are staying on zoom, missing face to face encouragement.

  look for the elders to implement changes.. also people at the door are so receptive and glad to see us.

  HiddlesWife -- sure wish I knew what #SHIESTYAF! Think I might get the last 2 letters 🤪 but felt good recalling all the other initials (acronyms), I think.
