i dropped off my wife the other day at the cuircit ass and driving out of the car park i was flagged down by an elder i know.
he was and still is one of the genuine ones, a real solid guy.
anyhoo, he tells me to come back as we are so close to the big a and he also tells me that a new bible is gonna be released.
If I'm not mistaken, there was the green-cover Bible, and then the black Bible without the reference column in the middle of the page, and then the one currently in use.
Is somebody here that remembers the transition that the WT used with these Bibles? Did they show it off at conventions or just shipped them to the KH?
as reported from a recent co visit talk: .
the man with the inkhorn is picturing the governing body, who has the task of marking people for salvation ezek.
9:2,4.. it used to be christ's brothers, the remnant, the anointed, and you better help them* or be a goat as per the math:25 judgement.
You gotta be kidding.
was it worth attending?.
is your survival more sure now?.
which part of gods word is truth!
So, the new Reasoning book will be online, so they can update it on-the-fly with new new light? great!
and why did you choose it?
if you have a avatar, what is it and why did you pick it?.
ok ill start.
I like computers.

i don't know any details myself, but i was wondering what is the watchtower's timeline for getting completely out of brooklyn?
i know they have been building a new hq in patterson.
(i think) they have also been selling many brooklyn properties.
Warwick, New York: This complex will serve as the new world headquarters of Jehovah’s Witnesses . Existing empty buildings have been removed from the site. The Witnesses have obtained a parcel of land 10 kilometers (6 mi) away, in Tuxedo, New York, to stage machinery and building materials. The relevant local authorities have accepted the final environmental impact statement for the project. Once the site plan is approved, an application will be made for building permits. In the meantime, the world headquarters of Jehovah’s Witnesses continues to operate from Brooklyn, New York.

the july 15 study watchtower uses all 4 study articles to try to inculcate into every witnesses' mind that the governing body is indisputably god's sole channel of communication on earth.
to do so, it uses a multitude of scriptures along with seriously flawed un-inspired reasoning.
the foundation stone of this watchtower's blatant agenda is the claim that when jesus used only a few to dispense the physical food to the many, he was setting a principle which would be applied to the distribution of spiritual food after he returned to heaven.
Excellent The Searcher.
Good observation EdenOne. At least we know Jesus had 70 disciples by the time he was on earth.
it's my understanding that the old light regarding the faithful and discreet slave was that in 1918-1919 jesus appointed the faithful and discreet slave over all his house.. but under the new light, it's a two-stage process.. now the "truth" is that in 1919 jesus appointed the governing body to provide spiritual food in due season and the gb will only be placed in authority over his domestics during the great tribulation.. all of this is wt nonsense, but in order to get jws who believe this stuff to think about the implications, my questions are:.
1. what will the future appointment authorize the governing body to do that is not yet authorized?.
2. since under the old light the governing body has wrongly believed they have had this authority since 1919, doesn't this mean they have been wrongly exercising authority that jesus hasn't yet given them?.
Excellent questions.
1. What will the future appointment authorize the Governing Body to do that is not yet authorized?
I think they explained that they will be appointed to Christ's Kingdom belongings aftter the Big A, along with the rest of the annointed. Problem is this parable a.k.a. "prophecy" says that the only ones receiving these things from the Lord is the FDS. There's a lot of annointed that don't make it to the FDS, including the 12 original apostles.
Go figure!
true or false?.
11. has the watchtower society itself ever celebrated a birthday?
