  page 28, paragraph 11 says in part:.

  "it seems that resurrected ones of the 24-elders group may be involved in the communicating of divine truths today.

  " (the 24 elders = "anointed christians in their heavenly positions".).

  I found this quote in the Revelation Climax book

  Blondie, I've just checked this in my copy of the Revelation book, and sure enough, I've even got it underlined. I can't believe that this didn't set off alarm bells in my head at the time.

  the statement in the Jan 1st wt is only a "maybe", and therefore deniable.

  Fullofdoubtnow, that makes it even more annoying!

  Thanks everyone, for your comments and research.

  GUMBERS NEEDS YOUR ADVISE.......

  i got a pm from gumby this morning.

  as i predicted, he's being love-bombed by the congregation and invited out everywhere.

  part of this is because he was very popular before and is a very likeable guy, but part of it is to try and suck him back in so thoroughly, he'll never be able to escape.

  Fred Franz is still bossing them about from beyond the grave.

  Maybe Knorr as well. Now that would be a nightmare, going by the Bethel stories lately.

  Notice how they cover their unsure butts "its seems", translation----- We don't know, but......

  Exactly, dismembered! When communication takes place, there are usually two parties involved. The one doing the communicating and the one receiving.

  When someone receives communication, they know it. There's no "it seems" or "may be". So why don't the GB/FDS book publishers know whether they are being communicated with?

  I couldn't believe it! I can only hope that comments such as this will cause more JWs to start questioning who they are putting their faith in.

  PS - Sorry if this has already been covered. Blondie will have a field day with this WT!

  Growing up JW

  by startingover in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  growing up a jw, i was well aware that a lot of people didn't care for my religion, especially growing up in a strong catholic community in the 60's.

  my being a jw wasn't something i advertised, especially in my school days.

  but that feeling was always there, that i was someone, who because of my religion, was disliked, even hated.. i sit here thinking what it would have been like to have grown up without those feelings.

  I don't think people hate JWs. It's more like they can't relate to JWs. The point though is, you felt hated. JWs believe that being hated is a good thing (John 15:19 "...because you are no part of the world...the world hates you"). This increases the isolation that JWs feel and is another factor which prevents them from leaving.
