it seems to me that in the past large flashes of "new light" have come when the governing body was backed into a corner.
for example the multiple re-defining of what a generation is until it ended up the ridiculous "overlapping" meaning.. what is the reason this time?
are they worried because the number of partakers has been going up?
They wanted to separated themselves even further for power. Now, the JW's have 3 classes:
- The Govering Body (FDS)
- The Annointed
- The Great Crowd
In complete opposition to this Bible text:
Galatians 3:28: "There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus."
the paragraph says:.
who, then, is the faithful and discreet slave?
that slave is made up of a small group of anointed brothers who are directly involved in preparing and dispensing.
Wow. Just wow. Thanks for posting this. And I know there was a Theocratic School Review question asking something along the lines of: Is the GB the FDS, and they will mark that answer as incorrect.
Clearly, they make the Bible say whatever they want it to say.
these are things that were said or insinuated, i start with the first 15.
enjoy!!.
1. working for a corporation in the city makes you fall out of the truth.. 2. if you become inactive or leave jehovah you will make your whole family sad and ruin everything.. 3. all worldly people cheat.. 4. all worldly people curse.. 5.
25) You can have a Los Angeles-style persecution with the New York Police Department in the streets of New York City.
i remember when i was a "devout" jws i could not wait to get the new watchtowers and awakes from the wednesday nite theocratic ministry school.
i would actually salivate thinking of the new information jehovah had in the magazines for us.
i was "franatical" and i would go home still in my three piece suit and devour the magazines that very nite.
Two thumbs up for Blondie and five stars also!
i was an elder until march 2012 until i resigned.
i then stopped going to meetings in october 2012 and have enjoyed 9 months of freedom that i have found to be jouful!
i loved learning ttatt and sites like this and jwfacts.com have been excellent.. i told the elders that i needed a break and that they should not contact me unless it was a social visit and true to their word they have done that.
@ notsurewheretogo ok, thanks for making it clear.
It's amazing how little elders know how to treat those that have doubts. The elders don't care to help you rectify according to their believes...they just want you to "come and stay with mama". The majority don't know doctrine anyway.
Glad to have you here notsurewheretogo

Regarding the OP, sorry to say this, but you were an elder and you ask: What would they come back at me with?
For how long you were an elder? I thought you were supposed to know what having doubts and writting letters to the WT will bring.

i was unable to insert the pic from the april 15,2013 pg 29 but leaving jesus christ out of the illustration on page 29 is no problem for the governing body as they have now substituted themselves for christ.
the following quotations substantiate this:-.
''the faithful slave is the channel through which jesus is feeding his true followers at this time of the end.
Thanks Crazyguy.
The other sheep should never forget that their salvation depends on their active support of Christ’s anointed brothers still on earth.
Watchtower March 15, 2012, page 20, paragraph 2.
So, no Jesus. Nevermind he died for us.
sir isaac newton died in 1642. he was considered the greatest intellect of his time.
newton had taken physics from the stone age into an age of technological miracles by penetrating the secrets of nature.
his reputation as one who solved difficult puzzles went beyond his actual expertise, however.
Thanks Terry for info and link!
