  The Sick And Aged: Watchtower Approves of "Corban"

  by metatron in

  why does the watchtower society approve of 'corban' in relation to sick or aged relatives or spiritual brothers and sisters?.

  example: the april 15 watchtower article "isolated but not forgotten" talks about the need to visit "our dear" brothers and sisters in .

  nursing homes.

  january 15, 2008 watchtower, page 23 paragraph 16. it seems, however, that not all who have been called to a heavenly hope since the 1930's are replacements for ones who have fallen away.

  jehovah has evidently made sure that we will have anointed christians amoung us all through the final days of this system of things until the destruction of "babylon the great.

  What Double Standards Exist With Jehovah's Witnesses?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  to be a "good jehovah's witness" you must be able to live by double standards.

  you have to know how to play both sides to the middle.

  you have to speak and act one way with certain persons and another way with the others.. one example of how witnesses live by double standards:you cannot join the ymca because jws can't involve themselves with religious matters or else be shunned.

  WT printing

  by startingover in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  i was just visited with a memorial invite, and the inviter was accompanied by a bethelite.

  i told her that i heard the printing was no longer done there, all moved to walkill.

  she said the reason they did that was because the new presses would not fit in the building in brooklyn.

  My Bethel Experience Part 9

  by new boy in

  the the worst thing, someone could call you at bethel, was a "jack".............. as in " that guy is a real jack, he doesn't work at all".

  the other term not used very much anymore, was "pot licker" used basically the same way.there has been some bad things done at bethel.

  you name it, someone has done it...........but the absolute worst possible thing, a bethelite could do is be a theft!

  My Bethel experience

  by new boy in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  because of the length of this, it will be done in two parts.

  part 1. i when to bethel march 21,1970. at the time you had to be a pioneer for two years to apply, by the time i left in 1974 they were calling people in who had never pioneered..........average stay was 5 months ( they had signed up for 4 years)..........the reason they left was......well, it was hell.. one of the reasons was, knorr hated bethelites, but he loved the gilead students and why?

  because when they screwed up they were thousands of miles away!........just before i got there, they had kicked out over 60!
