check out this gem from the dec 2013 km which explains why it's good to over this book a second go round.. "congregations previously considered this book during 2004 and 2005. however,for many of the approximately two million publishers who have come into the truth since then,this will be the first time that jehovahs endearing qualities have been discussed in detail.for those who studied the book before, the review will help them to deepen their appreciation forjehovahs attributes.ps.119:14".
i gotta kick out of this because i can only think of maybe two or three new ones in our congregation who weren't present when this book was first studied.
at the same time, going over jehovah's qualities isn't something new.
THANK FECK i left that boring crap behind.
7 years of no meetings and I don't feel a shred of loss or missing out, they offer nothing but thin air and if anything take from your soul (not the woo kind) not nourish it.
Oh, c'mon.....tell us how you really feel........don't hold back, now......
smackers, snare

this will be the first time that Jehovah’s endearing qualities have been discussed in detail.
Oh, I'd like to see that. Jehovah, the OT god of petty, bloody violence. Endearing.....not so much.
lawrence of arabia made him an international star, but his acting gifts showed in many of his films.
goodbye mr. chips, in which he starred with petula clark, is one of my favorites.. rip .
He was an awesome actor. And, when he was in his prime, he was totally gorgeous and sexy.
HOWEVER - sadly, he did not age well. He was only 81 but had looked much older for years. Drink? Probably.
this morning's wt study almost made me vomit, stand up, pick up my bag and rush to the door.. of course it never happened.
instead, i was able to make some nice drawings on my tablet and notepad.. if you replace the name jehovah with watchtower, or the governing 8 men, it would really make sense.. what's up with all that nonstop guilt-mongering about education and having a decent job?!.
most people look down on the uneducated, and i remember, when i didn't have a job, nobody cared!.
I remember sisters who had several pairs of expensive boots, always wearing them with skirts that showed their knees.
Bitchezz!
if i knew then what i know now, i might never have disassociated myself.
i realize all i can do is speculate on what could have been.
however, when i consider the number of people i might have been able to help by dropping little thought-provoking seeds, i really regret having jumped to the decision to disassociate so quickly.. ive read the accounts of several people on this forum telling of how stressful it is to be in the position that i just described above.
my story is long, heart stopping, tragic, and puzzling.
since i posted what was said to be my last post, i received a private message which sparked my attention about the watchtower.
immediately i did research, and have found not only proof from outside sources, but the watchtower openly admitting it.
Pull up a chair and stay awhile.
paragraph 1 & 2:.
we all enjoy life even now due to jehovah's tender mercies, for if it were not for his slowness to anger all humans would not have lived into this 21st century of out common era.
even those crippled severly cling to life thus demonstrating the will of humans to live even in adversity.
With a little tweaking, this could be a genuine Watchtower article.
it says on page 1 par.
3 in the q&a item.
"where people belong to a non-christian religion, or to no religion at all, it may be better to mention the bible on a return visit, rather than at the outset.
All religions and organizations with something to sell have a vested interest in prioritizing what they tell you in the first instance.
But JWs pride themselves on being different from all other religions.
after a live 3 hour performance, the "american idol" winner tweets,.
"glory to god tonight...i couldn't be more proud.
what a tough thing to pull off and we did it!
The stage version may have come first, but many more people know and love the movie version, far more than ever saw the stage version. I was commenting that, for some people, that might be why they didn't like this version of The Sound Of Music.
Exactly, Lisa. We watched it last night and it was enjoyable for what it was.
i would like to show my friend that the watchtower change their mind all the time about higher education over the years.
they usually discourage higher education as we all know that.
i would like to show him the wt quotes.
I recently reconnected with a JW I used to babysit for. One child has gotten a law degree (when past 40) and another became a pilot, both still faithful to the WTS.
The family is wealthy and well-positioned in the congo, so I doubt they would have been censured by the BoE.
