Q4) What does Bible study involve?

4) Understanding deep things requires study. However, study is not the same as reading something superficially. It involves carefully examining information to see how it fits the pattern of what we already know. (2 Timothy 1:13) It entails perceiving the reasons for what is said. Bible study should include meditating on how we can use what we learn in making wise decisions and in helping others. Also, since "all Scripture is inspired of God and beneficial," our study should include "every utterance coming forth through Jehovah's mouth." (2 Timothy 3:16, 17; Matthew 4:4) Bible study can be hard work! But it can also be delightful, and understanding "the deep things of God" is not too difficult.

Just follow the FDS and you will understand the ''deep things of God.'' (Just make sure you don't ask alot of questions along the way.And by the way.............things will change with the ''new light''.............. so make sure that you follow the pattern that you already know.)

THANK YOU JK666,BLONDIE

Why does'nt the WTS give away free books,magazines,and tracts ?

by RULES & REGULATIONS in

did you ever ask yourself:.

if we are living in ''the last days'',why doesn't the wts advertise free literature over the internet,newspaper,or radio?.

why don't they use all the funds they collect from the sale of all the real estate properties and give away free literature since this is ''life saving work?

Aren't the Witnesses just preaching in vain? Isn't the WTS just sending out members just to sell their literature?

by RULES & REGULATIONS in

There are 2 Elders in my cousins congregation who are partners in a construction business. They buy land,build huge homes,live there,and sell 2 years later. One of them sold his home last year for $860,000 . At this moment,he is building a house larger than the last. His plans are to live there for 2-3 years, then sell at a handsome profit.

They asked one brother that he needed to quit his 2nd shift job because he missed too many meetings. This brother had no high school education. His employer sent him to a trade school to be a welder. Now,he makes close to $35 an hour.

How can these Elders who are self-employed, work their own hours,make alot of money,ask someone who has minimal skills to quit their job? Ain't this a form of harassment?

Of The 5 Meetings, Was There One You Hated More Than The Others?

by minimus in

jw
friends

usually, i enjoyed the public talk, if the speaker was good but i thought the theocratic ministry was boring!!!.

the service meeting was just a sales meeting.

the book studies were simply ridiculous.

The Service meeting was complete torture for me. I was inactive in field service and just listening to that made me want to get up and leave every week. It was stressed that anyone who didn't preach would not make it into the ''new world.''

~~Placing~~ selling old magazines and books was always stressed. Listening to the same sisters week after week give the same presentation finally drove me to completely stop attending the Ministry/service meeting. Calling little kids ''publishers'' made me finally realize that we were just a sales force to ~~place~~ sell literature for the WTS.

Can Elders who resigned or were demoted ever be reinstated as Elders?

by RULES & REGULATIONS in

my cousin and another elder in my congregation were demoted{they were asked to resign} about 5 years ago.

they both had teens who were disfellowshipped at the same time.

the reasoning was that,'' if you can't control your own household how can you control members in god's house.

The reasoning was that,'' if you can't control your own household how can you control members in God's house.'' Both teens moved out and haven't been seen in years. Now it's only the former Elders and their wives living in the same household.

My question is.....Can either of them ever be asked to be Elders again?
