RULES & REGULATIONS

December 2018 STUDY ARTICLE :
Honor “What God Has Yoked Together”
17 Admittedly, there have been instances where an “unbelieving husband” seems to prove that he is not “agreeable to staying with her.” He might be extremely physically abusive, even to the point that she feels that her health or life is in danger. He might refuse to support her and the family or severely endanger her spirituality. In such cases, some Christians have personally decided that, despite what he might say, the mate is not “agreeable to staying” together and that a separation is necessary. But other Christians in comparably difficult situations have not; they have endured and tried to work at improving matters. Why?
18 In such a separation, the two are still marriage mates. If they lived apart, each one would face challenges, as mentioned earlier. The apostle Paul gave another reason for staying united. He wrote: “The unbelieving husband is sanctified in relation to his wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified in relation to the brother; otherwise, your children would be unclean, but now they are holy.” (1 Cor. 7:14) Many loyal Christians have remained with an unbelieving mate under very trying circumstances. They can testify that doing so was worthwhile in a special sense when their mate became a true worshipper. —Read 1 Corinthians 7:16; 1 Pet. 3:1, 2.

It is a common thing though . At conventions one would see lots of sleepyheads.
Nothing like being in an outdoor stadium in the middle of July, sitting through a 1.5-hour lunch, and trying to keep your eyes open, listening to monotone and boring talks you listened to hundreds of times before.

A while back, we had a Saturday wedding reception for a brother and sister from our Kingdom Hall. The reception ended at midnight. Most of us got home at around 1:00 a.m. Our Sunday public talk meeting started at 9:30 a.m.
The Elder giving the talk notices many members nodding off, or some are even sleeping. He tells our congregation,'' I know we all got home late last night but it makes me sad to see many of you nodding off during this talk.''
How many times did you look around the Kingdom Hall on an early Sunday morning and see fellow members nodding off or actually sleeping? How can adults be so tired after a night's rest?

Samson and Delilah...A Hollywood movie written in Bible times

written and produced by bible writers...you can't make this up!.

who needs hollywood scriptwriters when you already have a bible story that has drama, suspense, and unbelievable twists and turns?

imagine the story of a man who visits prostitutes, kills a 1,000 man army with a skull bone, kills a lion with his bare hands, loses his strength by getting a haircut, gets his eyes gouged out, works at a grain mill and tears down columns with his bare hands, killing himself and the philistines!

Not one of them could shoot an arrow or chuck a spear at him?!

It looks like they all fought Samson with their bare hands, filed one behind the other. Try fighting one-on-one with a strong and crazed madman, swinging and striking you with a jawbone of a donkey!

i ask you all would anyone of you throw a party and have everyone atttending just to look at the refreshments?

would you invite people to a meal only to not be allowed to eat?.

absurd you say!.
RULES & REGULATIONS

Jesus had only 12 members attend and partake in the last meal and Memorial. There were no observers in the room. Each disciple was given bread to eat and wine to drink. There is no mention of other people in the room who couldn't eat or drink the last meal. This was only for those who would partake of this meal.
Why does the WTS feel that observers need to be at this yearly event? Why can't the Elders who(supposedly) have any 144,000 in their congregations have a memorial with only these members? If Jesus wanted observers he would have had some at his last meal and requested that they be present from then on.

Who needs Hollywood scriptwriters when you already have a Bible story that has drama, suspense, and unbelievable twists and turns? Imagine the story of a man who visits prostitutes, kills a 1,000 man army with a skull bone, kills a lion with his bare hands, loses his strength by getting a haircut, gets his eyes gouged out, works at a grain mill and tears down columns with his bare hands, killing himself and the Philistines!

The biblical account states that Samson was a Nazirite and that he was given immense strength to aid him against his enemies and allow him to perform superhuman feats, including slaying a lion with his bare hands and massacring an entire army of Philistines (1,000 men ) using only the jawbone of a donkey. However, if Samson's long hair were cut, then his Nazirite vow would be violated and he would lose his strength.[
Samson was betrayed by his lover Delilah, who ordered a servant to cut his hair while he was sleeping and turned him over to his Philistine enemies, who gouged out his eyes and forced him to grind grain in a mill at Gaza. Whilst there his hair began to regrow. When the Philistines took Samson into their temple of Dagon, Samson asked to rest against one of the support pillars; after being granted permission, he prayed to God and miraculously recovered his strength, allowing him to grasp hold of the columns and tear them down, killing himself and all the Philistines with him.

May 2020 Study WT - more convoluted false prophesying

the first two study articles of the latest wt raise the usual sense of urgency with more of the same theological quackery russell would be proud of.. first up, something we've always known, the embarrassing admission that jws think they are the center of the universe:.

even though god’s servants make up only a small portion of the world’s population, they are often at the center of major world events.

because satan and his entire system have one prime objective—conquering those who serve jehovah .

To top it all off, there's a new mega four-page chart. Remember Splane's famous overlapping generations chart? Well this one takes multiple scriptures from different time periods/circumstances and makes one convenient and selective Frankenstein's monster of a 'timeline' of overlapping prophecies.

Responsible Childbearing in This Time of the End

6. What question should Christian husbands ask themselves?

6 All Christian husbands, whether they have congregational responsibilities or not, should also consider the effect that taking care of young children could have on their wife’s spirituality. If a wife is not spiritually strong, how will a baby, or a number of babies, affect her personal study and opportunities to share in the preaching work?

7. What has happened to some Christian wives, and what is often the cause of this situation?

7 Do husbands always realize that taking care of a baby or a young child often prevents their wives from getting full benefit from the Congregation Book Study, Kingdom Hall meetings, circuit assemblies, and district conventions? Such a situation can last for months, and even years, when baby follows baby. It is in the nature of things that the load, in this respect, falls mainly on the mother, rather than on the father. It has sometimes been observed that whereas some Christian men progress spiritually, even to the point of being assigned privileges in the congregation, their wives become spiritually weak. Why? Often it is because their young children prevent the wives from concentrating at meetings, doing deep Bible study, or sharing in a large measure in the witnessing work. Can fatherhood be called responsible if it permits such situations to develop?

Here is what the Watchtower Society wants to see at conventions:

Fellow members who have responsibilities to their children are no benefit to the Society.
