  Watchtower Study June 18 from April 2017 issue

  by BluesBrother in

  https://www.jw.org/en/publications/magazines/watchtower-study-april-2017/judge-of-all-earth-always-does-what-is-right/.

  the judge of all the earth always does what is right.

  intended as a confidence builder in the organization ..see what you think.. theme is from deuteronomy but it is really highlighting that passage in genesis where abraham had a dialogue with god, (gen.18) would god destroy sodom if 50 righteous men would perish?

  8: On the other hand, you could mistakenly conclude that you have been a victim of injustice or that another member of the congregation has been. This could happen because of our imperfect view of matters or because we do not have all the facts. In either case, whether our understanding of matters is accurate or mistaken, prayerful reliance on Jehovah, combined with loyalty, will prevent us from ever becoming “enraged against Jehovah.”—Read Proverbs 19:3.
  

  From para 8 in this WT study. Talking about those in the congregation stumbling us. How is that quote at the end of that para even linked to to being stumbled? Who, upon being stumbled by another JW would become “enraged against Jehovah,” because of it? Could someone please shed some light on how that verse is applied under these circumstances?

  Witnessing to two JW elders

  by Roger Kirkpatrick in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i was approached by two jehovah’s witness elders who handed me a pamphlet advertising the jw .org website.

  each man carried a bible and an apple ipad.

  they told me that they enjoyed visiting with people about the bible, and asked if i was a bible reader.

  Thats good. You need to use that reasoning on more elders. Unfortunately they will still choose WT words over the bible to rule their life.

  Why would Watchtower fight Stratton Ohio

  by John Davis in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  why would watchtower sue stratton ohio, and then laud it over and over in their books?

  the town doesn't even have 300 people, why would they pick on such a small town.

  they are promoting it so much at this week's meeting.

  Promotional proof to make the R&F believe that WT are winning all and every court battle.

  As brought out at this meeting, This is clear proof that Jehovah is controlling these court outcomes. How else can WT win these Supreme Court trials with Satan's rulers (the courts), under the control of Satan's world?

  How Many Here Used To Sneak Looking At "apostate" Material?

  by minimus in

  i did!

  even when i was in junior high school i would go to the library and look for anything that was about charles taze russell or millenial dawn or jehovah's witnesses..... maybe i was an "apostate " in the making..

  No way, that was the most wicked thing that I, as a JW could think about doing back then. It was WT's very own literature, and their rewriting of their own history that made me wake up. Main topic for me was what WT say today about what Charles Taze Russell wrote about 1914, vs what Charles Taze Russell really wrote in his books regarding 1914. It was after that, that I discovered that wicked evil apostates were telling the truth about what Charles Taze Russell really wrote in his books regarding 1914. And it is the WT that have rewritten their version of 1914 to suit their agenda.

  Spiritual Welfare

  this year’s “don’t give up” convention encourages theocratic welfare.

  brother pioneer is doing a lot of carting and having trouble making ends meet.

  his landlord doesn’t get it and decides to evict him and his wife.. .

  A good example of WT double speak. "Simplify your life and reduce your work hours so you can spend more time in Jehovah's service". But then when you can't keep up with your everyday bill expenses because of following this direction from WT, we are told by WT that it is Satan's system that is the causing your financial hardship.

  no mention whatsoever that it was watchtower themselves that strongly hinted towards this date.

  instead they blame those who "put their trust in a date, not jehovah".. let's recap... .

  "The 70 or 80 year generation that saw 1914 will not pass away". How wonderful it is that they never said that. It wont be long before that failed promise is addressed.

  Another thing that we should not overlook, is that a large number of JWs have very poor memories. They would sooner let the WT tell them what happened in the past, the real history is erased from there minds, it never happened mentality. Then when you do show and prove it did happen using old WT quotes, you get accused of being negative and looking for fault, they now view you as someone marked for not allowing WT to rewrite your memory. So you cant win, even when you do know TTATT. Which WT don't seem to be interested in.

  Instead they blame those who "put their trust in a date, not Jehovah".

  What a nerve, yet another double meaning. Today if I were to say that the end will not come within the next 10 years, I will almost get my head biten off by my JW family for not being spiritual enough, because we all know that the end is so near now.
