You need help!
The spirits will come with this woman to your party and probably take over.
Just don't allow her to come to the party or her children.
Seek urgent help from the local congregation of JW's; they will help you see the error of your ways.
at least for many..... i remember looking around at meetings and so many in the audience seemed to be in another world.
people would get up and talk at the back shamelessly.
meetings were a good opportunity to make plans with friends.
Interesting timing, this is from last Sunday's meeting:
THE WATCHTOWER SEPTEMBER 15, 2010 page 14, paragraph 9.
"...The Christian congregation was founded, not to function as a social club, but to honor Jehovah and to get a job done—the work of preaching the good news, making disciples, and building up the congregation..."
i don't care about scriptures that say god is "all knowing" or "know all my hairs on my head" cause that could all be done without being omniscient.
are there any bible verse's that speak specifically of god's omniscience?.
-sab.
It doesn't; and God is NOT omniscient!
in chapter 3 of ks-10, paragraph 13 (page 35), the wt corp provides the precise questions that are to be asked aspiring elders before announcing their appointment.
there are only 2 for qualifying brothers who have served previously.
brothers not having served before must be asked a 3rd.. .
The exact wording:
13. In every case, the elders must ask the following
questions: "Is there anything from your past,
even before baptism, or in your personal or family
life that disqualifies you or that would prevent you
from accepting this appointment? Is there any reason
why your appointment should not be announced to
the congregation?" If the brother has not previously
served as an elder or a ministerial servant, ask the following
question: "Have you ever been involved at
any time in the past with child sexual molestation?"
If he answers yes to any of these questions, do not announce
the appointment. Return the S-2 form or
5-52 appointment letter to the branch office, and provide
a complete explanation as to why the appointment
should be annulled. If the brother answers no
to these questions and accepts the appointment, the
elders might direct his attention to information provided
by "the faithful and discreet slave" that will
help him fulfill his new privilege of service.- Matt. 24:45; od caps. 5-6.
Notice also that IF he accepts the appointment "the elders MIGHT direct his attention..."
I just hate Xmas!
I used to really enjoy it before I met the JW's, but that was in 1952!
Ever since then I must not have anything to do with it, or else!
hi,.
i need to obtain scans of the following pages, and i would be deeply grateful if someone can help me.. anchor bible dictionary, volume 6 pages 392-393 ("tetragrammaton in the new testament", article by george howard.).
if anyone can help me, it would probably be best to send me a pm, so i can pass on my email address.. doug.
Some of George Howards' material is quoted here:
as it is the end of the jw service year, it would be nice to see how they finished up in august 2010 as regards total publishers.. quite often there seems to be a big push to get as many as possable to put in a service report to finish the year off.. so a scan would be good or just a report on how many publishers they ended up with.
thanks.
Here you go:
as i was flipping through some magazines in the check out line today, it dawned on me that the wts could very well save itself.. it claims that the watchtower and awake!
magazines are the most widely circulated journals in the world.
so why the hell are they not capitalizing on this popularity by selling advertising space in the magazines?
They will NEVER advertise anything from this Satanic world!
i have a new wtlb cd rom and i want to save some of the stuff for study and reference.
how can i pull stuff out of the program such as books etc?
i would like to be able to read them as pdfs but first i gotta figure out to extract them into something usable.
WE scan the real (actual) books complete, tedious and time consuming!
Some PDF's of recent books are on the Watchtower site.
