The Jewish acceptance of Christ and the end
by greendawn inin the book of romans 11: 25-27 paul makes the amazing claim that the jews who were spiritually blinded so that the nations will also enter the kingdom, will at one time be shown mercy and saved, naturally by accepting christ.
26. and so all israel will be saved, as it is written: .
"the deliverer will come from zion; .

Was this supposed to be a funny thread?
If not...the answer is no, it will never happen. Witnesses have nothing else to do other than eat. Plus what about people who are obese because of a glandular problem?
Elders don't even worry about gluttony anymore. It's not as juicy and sensational as raw sex scandals in the congregation.

SHOW ME DA MONEY!!!!
by conoroberst ini always like to come back here and see those who are still in (but faking it, like me), those who are about to be out, and angry, those who are out and angry, and those who are out but sanguine (sp?
anyway.. despite all the undoubted and unargauble arguments about the wbts i just think its funny when y'all talk about the watchtower people being in it for the money...honestly, the bethel people, the elders (i know quite a few in the us and uk bethels), honestly, have you seen, their houses (if they have them), or their cars, or their suits, or their watches, or their shoes?
) even the branch people and the gb, honestly, these guys are not in it for the money, for the security maybe, a distasteful realisation many years ago that they have chosen the wrong path, that maybe they should have gone to university after all, but are stuck working as postmen (or overseers of packaging depts)..

It's not the lowly publishers, pioneers, or elders that are in it for the money. Obviously like you said, they live in borderline poverty. It's the Governing Body that are "in it for the money" so to speak. Not the literal cash, but the posh lifestyle they enjoy. Everything they dictate that gives them that level of control that they thrive on....it's done to insure their neat, roomy apartment overlooking Brooklyn. It insures their laundry service, food service, and the free travel that they have access to whenever they decide to make a visit to another country.
Oh yeah, they'll do anything and pass any "law" that it takes to keep that lifestyle secure. If they were to let the real truth be known, WTS would fold and these 80-year old men would be on the street with no income, no possessions, and nowhere to go.
That's why good men like Swingle may have spoken up or voiced disagreement on some issues, but never would have taken it to the point of saying, "Either this changes or I'm out!" They're stuck there. I think Sydlik felt the same way, that's why he would just break down and weep in his prayers. I think he was sincerely disgusted at where the Governing Body found themselves during his final years. But in the end, they were wrong for shutting their eyes and playing along.
Look at what the Governing Body are publishing to the great crowd: MEETING ATTENDANCE (insures your contributions and your headcount can be attributed to their success), FIELD SERVICE (bringing in others so the same can be done with them), SHUNNING DISFELLOWSHIPPED ONES (keeping you from talking to people that can influence you to ultimately take away from the GB's lifestyle). It all screams "CONTROL". Control is the only way they can keep it up.
