  LUKE10:1-7
  

  
  After these things the Lord designated 70 others and sent them out by twos+ ahead of him into every city and place where he himself was to go.+ 2 Then he said to them: “Yes, the harvest is great, but the workers are few. Therefore, beg the Master of the harvest to send out workers into his harvest.+ 3 Go! Look! I am sending you out as lambs in among wolves.+ 4 Do not carry a money bag or a food pouch or sandals,+ and do not greet anyone along the road.+ 5 Wherever you enter into a house, say first: ‘May this house have peace.’+ 6 And if a friend of peace is there, your peace will rest upon him. But if there is not, it will return to you. 7 So stay in that house,+ eating and drinking the things they provide,+ for the worker is worthy of his wages.+ Do not keep transferring from house to house.

  The customs of that time meant that they would likely stay in the home of hospitable people . They were instructed to bring a blessing of peace to each house, if the home would receive it. They were to trust that God would provide for them through the generosity of others, and they were to thankfully receive what was offered to them – without begging from house to house.

  Here is your typical twisting of scriptures taken from the from the January 1/1 1967 Watchtower Magazine study article pp 5-12, ''They Followed Him"

  
  

  
  

  24 In two years’ time after Jesus began preaching, many more Jews had enough knowledge to go from house to house and preach. Luke tells us: “The Lord designated seventy others and sent them forth by twos in advance of him into every city and place to which he himself was going to come. Then he began to say to them: ‘The harvest, indeed, is great, but the workers are few. Therefore beg the Master of the harvest to send out workers into his harvest. Go forth. Look! I am sending you forth as lambs in among wolves.’” (Luke 10:1-3) His apostles and these seventy disciples, totaling eighty-two teachers, knew that for them to go out into the world and preach as they were now instructed to do would bring upon them many problems, persecution and trials, but they had faith in Jehovah and his Son, Christ Jesus, to take this forward step. These ministers sent to preach still had the time and opportunity of learning more from Jesus.

  Jehovah's Witnesses—Faith in Action, Part 1: Out of Darkness

  This is how the Watchtower Society depicts the early disciples of Jesus! They are shown distributing 'literature' (House -to- house, just like the modern day Jehovah's Witnesses) with their field service bags! But get this...in the form of rolled up scrolls!!!

  
  

  The Watchtower forgot to include this scripture in this video. Jesus said in :

  Luke 10:7
  

  "And remain in the same house, eating and drinking such things as they give, for the laborer is worthy of his wages. DO NOT GO HOUSE TO HOUSE."

  nascar races generally last anywhere from 1.5 to 4 hours, depending on the length of the race, number of laps and track conditions.

  For most runners however the average time for completing a marathon is 4 hours 30 minutes for men and 5 hours 10 minutes for women.

  The Watchtower Bible and Tract Society (WBTS) is now in its 136th year as a corporate entity. It was founded in 1884 as Zion’s Watch Tower and Tract Society by Charles Taze Russell.

  They were behind the push to get me to quit a decent job

  I remember my brother ( when he was a teenager ) was counseled about missing too many Ministry School meetings because he worked nights at a grocery store. The Elders talked to my mom about him missing meetings. She made my brother quit his job because the Elders were always hounding her.

  We had a brother who was illiterate, hardly spoke any English, and had two children to feed. He worked nights as a welder making good money for someone who couldn't read, write nor speak any English. The Elders hounded him to find another job working days so he could attend meetings.

  Luckily, he never quit his job. Where would he find a better paying job without an education? The Elders finally left him alone after trying so hard. Today, this brother is collecting a good pension.

  Rich is empty. He’s dying and he knows it..... He's terminal and probably has less than 2 years. Most M.S.A. patients live less than 8 years from the onset of the condition.

  No family, few friends (I imagine) and, to be frank, he’s needy and he’s becoming bitter. ...Sadly, he is married but they hate each other. She refuses to take him for Doctor visits. He calls me to drive him for his appointments.

  Basically he’s acting like he’s in a co dependent relationship with you... He needs his wife as his co-dependent and not me.

  Except you don’t seem to be co dependent with him!!!!! Good!... I will help him but that's why he has a wife.

  Now I think it’s about time your brother knew about his friends condition... My brother was his slave for him all his life. Whatever the fight is about, I'm sure my brother didn't start it.

  Too bad if he doesn’t want your brother to know. He shouldn’t have told you if he didn’t want him to know!!! He’s playing a mean game whereby he’s hoping your brother will find out when It’s too late and be wracked with guilt... Rich asked me months ago if it was alright if he called my brother. My brother refused his phone call.

  All this makes him sound like a royal pain in the ass, right? But he must have been fun once upon a time, yes? ....He's overbearing and has an A-type personality.

  I really think you should wait a bit, calm down and if and when he apologizes to you accept the apology and make it a condition that he tells your brother, tries to make up with him and starts to take a long hard look at himself and where he’s going... He's asking too much from me. I do enough for him.

  Maybe get therapy? Get some professional care so he doesn’t have to rely on one person....otherwise he’ll die alone, and he doesn’t really want that... He's on the outs with his older brother and his twin brother. All 3 brothers haven't spoken to each other since their father passed away 15 years ago due to inheritance money.

  I have a friend named Rich who I have known for over 40 years. He was my brother's best friend for 35 years until 5 years ago. They had a falling out and neither of them will tell me why they do not speak to each other. That's their problem!

  Since the fallout with my brother, Rich calls me more often and thinks that our friendship should be just the same as my brother had with him. We have less in common than he had with my brother. My family and business keep me busy. My brother is single and had more time to spend with Rich.

  About five years ago he was diagnosed with a disease called Multiple System Atrophy. It is a nerve disorder where his brain is not firing nerves throughout his body. He walks and talks slower, loses his balance, and eventually all his nerves will stop functioning. It is a horrible condition. My brother doesn't know about Rich's medical condition. I'll tell him when Rich wants him to know.
  

  I take all of Rich's phone calls, take him out to lunch as often as possible, drive him to Doctor appointments, and help him with any work he needs around his house. He calls me almost every day and it is just a bit much for me to call him back and talk to him daily. He even calls at times he knows that I am working.

  A couple of days ago he leaves a message on my answering machine, " I'm taking this personally. You and your wife do not care for me. I call and you don't pick up the phone. I seem to care more for you than you care for me.''

  I had my wife text him this message...''Rich, the message you left was upsetting. You have a serious problem. My husband calls you as much as possible, takes you out for lunch, and drives you to some of your Doctor appointments. He doesn't need you leaving messages about how you care about him and how little he cares about you. Please, do not call for a while. My husband will call you as soon as calms down.''

  I'm not calling Rich for a long time, or not at all! What would you do in this situation?

  Little does he realize that these Elders are really "company men" who act as human agents for the Watchtower organization. Elders act only in the best interests of the Watchtower Society

  Elders pay attention to hairstyles, dress codes, conduct, members who are not loyal to the company, members who are not actively supporting the policies, and who those are not reaching established goals within the corporation ( field service hours, meeting attendance, preparing/giving talks, and answering at meetings).

  Elders follow the Watchtower Society's guidelines set forth in the exclusive manual for elders, entitled: "Shepherd the Flock of God".

  Just like corporations have human resources to handle all company matters, Elders are the ''human resource'' workers of the Watchtower corporation!

  in a disgusting new video, anthony morris iii talks about apostates, and brings to mind his 'hot dog' talk all over again as he anticipates the demise of ex-jehovah's witnesses.

  i don't know if you're familiar with maggots, but when you see a whole bunch of them it's not a pleasant sight.. .

  what a fitting picture of the final end of all of god's enemies.

  The Governing Body is feeling the heat of criticism from apostates, the exposure of their attempts to cover up child abuse, hundreds of pedophile lawsuits, shrinking donations, shrinking of print literature ( where money was made from the sales to its own publishers ), and the hundreds of books and internet sites exposing the Watchtower Society fraud.

  Mr. Morris and the Governing Body know attacking apostates is their only defense. The walls are finally closing in on them!

  Mark Sanderson: “Wisdom Is With the Modest Ones” (Prov. 11:2)

  

  Here is Governing Body member Mark Sanderson reading Micah 6:8 from the New World Translation. Twisting Micah 6:8 to fit the Governing Body's narrative to be ''loyal'' to Jehovah and ingrained into every member's brain to also include the ''Governing Body.'' Dishonesty at its finest!

  Micah 6: 8

  He has told you, O man, what is good.

  And what is Jehovah requiring* of you?

  Only to exercise justice, to cherish loyalty, And to walk in modesty+ with your God!

  
  

  Here are 3 other Bible translation of Micah 6:8. Notice how each translation uses ''mercy'' or ''merciful'' while the Watchtower Society twists ''mercy'' into ''loyalty.'' Replacing mercy with loyalty gives the verse an entirely different meaning. It is a deliberate twisting of the scriptures to keep JWs loyal to the organization.

  
  

  Micah 6:8 KJV

  He hath showed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the LORD require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God?

  
  

  Micah 6:8 New King James Version (NKJV)

  
  He has shown you, O man, what is good;
  And what does the Lord require of you
  But to do justly,
  To love [a]mercy,
  And to walk humbly with your God?

  
  

  Micah 6:8 Living Bible (TLB)

  8 No, he has told you what he wants, and this is all it is: to be fair, just, merciful, and to walk humbly with your God.
