  Could you really trust the Governing Body to the right thing?

  by no-zombie in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  over the years, many have speculated on how the governing body might reform the society into something that might actually bring some positivity in to the world ... and a resent melancholy moment, i re-watched the youtube clip of usa for africa's, 'we are the world' which was released in 1985. now while i know our men in warwick would never actually consider organizing the brotherhood to do something completely selfless in helping the truly worldly poor, something that would actually improve the religion's reputation ... but the question is ... could you really trust the governing body to run an aid program like usa for africa or band aid, without skimming from the top?.

  Of course we can trust the 'Slave Class'. How do we know? Because they told us we can! : "There are many reasons why the slave class deserves our trust. Two outstanding reasons are (1) Jehovah trusts the slave class (2) Jesus trusts the slave class." -Watchtower 2009 . Circular, self aggrandizing and unprovable self promotion taken to the highest level. Remember folks, you can't out bullshit a bullshitter and these men should know.

  "I have also grown old, and yet I have not seen anyone righteous left entirely, nor his offspring looking for bread." - Psalms 37:25

  With your father in laws long history of devotion and service to Jehovah, I am sure his financial windfall will arrive from heaven soon.!

  just spoke to an elder at the carts, whilst discussing the gb (faithful slave) he informs me they are nowpart of the 'domestics'?

  anyone have any 'new light' on this?.

  When the individuals on the Governing Body meet collectively and decide doctrine, they are the 'Faithful Slave' serving food at the proper time.

  When the individual members are not collectively meeting as the 'Faithful Slave' then they become domestics receiving 'food at the proper time'.

  It gives a whole new meaning to the phrase: 'self-serving individuals.'

  Remember the Wife of Lot

  by Addison0998 in

  for family worship last night, our family watched remember the wife of lot movie since it will be discussed in the meeting this week.

  there’s a few things i noticed that i didn’t think about last time i watched it.. first, the dad is very of course against his daughters going to college or even trying to find a good job.

  yet he does accounting, which is a very good job that almost always requires a college education.

  The bridge

  by truthwillsetyoufree in

  so my father, who is an active jehovah’s witness, told me yesterday of an experience currently doing its rounds amongst the witnesses in relation to cart witnessing.

  there is a bridge called ‘the bridge’ which is a well known place for people committing suicide.

  apparently the jws have been setting up there literature carts there for a while now and ever since they have there has been no more suicide attempts from the bridge.

  So let me get this straight:

  Jehovah sends his cart workers to a 'suicide' bridge to save lives, while over the years hundreds of Bethelite's have had 'nervous breakdowns' and some of them have committed suicide right under Jehovah's nose at the 'House of God'? Not a very efficient life saving system if you ask me.

  Eisenhower was never a Billionaire. According to Wikipedia, List of Presidents of the United States by net worth, at his death he was worth $9,000,000.00 in 2016 dollars. Calculated back to 1969 dollars (the time of his death) he would have been worth approximately $1,350,000.00.
