  ....the Governing Body as a whole considers adjusted explanations....

  by jgnat in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  thus proclaims the quietly un-annointed governing class of the watchtower and bible tract society, passing as truth.

  (watchtower july 15, 2010, page 23, paragraph 10).

  this paragraph about the governing body follows a description of the annointed class, a classic bait-and-switch.

  Only the veterans who have been keeping track will know that the current governing body is too young to have witnessed the events of 1918, and thus are not annointed.

  Good to see your post.

  I don't want to get my blood pressure up again, considering the 30+years I wasted KNOWING that the GB were annointed and were alive in 1914, and that some of them would be on hand to "usher in a new system." Now many are younger than I am. They seemed to have quietly done away with the Nethinim teaching that they were helpers, and just say they are annointed, considering new light on when the "sealing" of the annointed finished.

  Of course, they are not only back-pedaling, they are all pedaling all over the place.

  Your poor husband...trying to make his mind accept everything they write, and then change, and believe they are all "deep truths." Been there, done that.

  i had a horrible experience with bank of america yesterday.

  i needed to deposit cash in my checking account in order to cover a check i had written to cover my mortgage.

  And no matter what I am different and will always be....People look at me and know I was raised a goodie two shoes....I guess I can't shake off the JW upraising. It is on my face and in my eyes. I have thought about getting peircings and tatoos,but I don't think that will even hide it.

  I don't know why a person who thinks for themselves is termed a "goody two shoes." It just means that you haven't thrown away your money on drugs that have no benefit (I am not arguing against pain relief for cancer), and may harm you. Also, as people must be aware, by supporting drug cartels they may be contributing to the deaths of many. Please watch some of the news about the border with its violence and drug smuggling. (living here in Texas I am very aware)

  Why be concerned that you haven't developed and been plagued by life-ruining addictions as some of the others have? Just because they laugh doesn't mean these addictions don't cause them continous misery.

  It looks to me like you have dodged a bullet and still have a clear head. Instead of needing body piercings or tatoos, I hope you will get an education and learn about the world around you. This will help you to find your place in it, and define your own ideas and opinions.

  In THIS way you will shake of the "JW upraising."

  she has had strange coloured discharge from one breast for a while now.

  the doctor didn't really seem to take it seriously.

  yesterday she shouts me screaming and she shows me blood coming from her nipple, like you would expect milk to.

  Any discharge from the breast needs to be looked at very carefully.

  Glad she is going to the hospital for extra tests. Look up info online, also. Be prepared with information.

  So sorry you are both going through this scary time.

  Where is the child's father? Shouldn't he be required to help pay for the child's care and have some say in her treatment?

  How did Jehovah's Witnesses come to use the phrase: New Light?

  by Terry in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  in the middle of the 18th century in america, a crisis of faith arose.. traditional belief about the destiny of christians in the new world had been tested and proved false.

  instead of spreading a pure and just society across north america which the whole world would see and hold in great esteem, everything was chaos, controversy and opposition!.

  puritans, congregationalists, baptist, catholics hated each other even though christ was the center of their very worship!!.

  Thank you, Terry.

  A woman who works with me is asking me about Seventh Day Adventists....she is Chinese, Bhuddist, and knows nothing about Christianity. The poor woman's husband is Catholic and her brother has become a SDA. She knows that I was formerly a JW. I told her that JWs and SDAs used to be together, and that I'd do some research and get back to her. I really don't relish the idea of spending time gathering the info, but I hate to see her sucked into the SDA church without knowing anything of their history. Your information is a good starting point.

  Yes, go. Even if you don't stay long. You will never know unless you accept the invitation. You might be pleasantly surprised. Try not to go with preconceived expectations.
