  Replaced the normal meeting, shortened WT (no reading). I would say slightly about average attended but not to the level of the memorial.

  NZ got this broadcast too. 2.5 hours long. Nothing was said about ARC. It was mainly about positive aspects of the organization. How in some remote land north of Australia they give away 4000 brochures in 2hrs. Video interviews of witnesses. How one non believer paid the postage on all letters to Russia that one kh wrote. And as always, at the start, "no videos or recordings are to be made". I can't understand that one, since life's water is supposed to be free to everyone.

  11. How can we show our support for the Messianic King? (From book study last night)

  by NikL in

  2. bible

  the study was on how wt has refined itself over the years by ceasing celebrations of christmas etc.. paragraph 11.

  11 what a fine example those faithful bible students set for us!

  reflecting on their example, we do well to ask ourselves: ‘how do i view the direction we receive from headquarters?

  Thats interesting they calling themselves Headquarters, If I were to refer to them as headquarters to any JW, they would look at me sideways and put me right.

  New Zealand congregations are also going to be linked into this special 3hr video. I didn't listened to the details about these talks that was read out to us at last weeks meeting. I will be attending the local kh to watch it.

  Red Alert - Propaganda is Being Used!!!!!!!!

  "your defense?

  "...Jesus did not tell us that his faithful slave would produce perfect spiritual food."

  Not this first time I have heard this type of (making it up) reasoning to back up some point. In a recent talk about divorce, we were told that there is no record in the Bible that Adam & Eve got divorced and remarried, so that then also backs up the point that divorce is wrong.

  Interesting that she had her phone turned on out witnessing. Or was it on silent?

  Nice reasoning to get them to listen. But i don't think you will be on their RV list, at least not from these girls.

  It seems that many witnesses simply dont care about facts?

  by stuckinarut2 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i often wonder if the current crop of witnesses, especially the youth and younger ones simply don't care about facts?.

  i mean for some, even with knowledge of the past scandals, misleading teachings, mistruths, etc etc, they simply don't care.

  "it is the truth after all".. they are so intertwined in the operations and activities of the society, that they cant see anything outside of it.

  Yes, I agree. And also having a very poor memory helps one to remain loyal to JW.org.

  Should not the 2-witness rule have been done away with when the Mosaic Law was ended? Same reason why we don't hold on to the Sabbath?
