Quick question: That's how you say "masturbating" in ASL for real?

_____________
“From the time of the apostle John and on into the Lord’s day, anointed Christians were puzzled as to the identity of the great crowd. It is fitting, then, that one of the 24 elders, representing anointed ones already in heaven, should stir John’s thinking by raising a pertinent question. “And in response one of the elders said to me: ‘These who are dressed in the white robes, who are they and where did they come from?’ So right away I said to him: ‘My lord, you are the one that knows.’” (Revelation 7:13, 14a) Yes, that elder could locate the answer and give it to John. This suggests that resurrected ones of the 24-elders group may be involved in the communicating of divine truths today. For their part, those of the John class on earth got to learn the identity of the great crowd by closely observing what Jehovah was performing in their midst. They were quick to appreciate the dazzling flash of divine light that emblazoned the theocratic firmament in 1935, at Jehovah’s due time.”
-Revelation: Its Grand Climax at Hand! p. 124-125

I just wanted to share one of the most bizarre teachings of the WT/FDS/GB. Why would you need the Holy Spirit if you have the 24? They don't need no Holy Spirit.

I understand what you mean redvip2000, but I know of cases where the secretary asks a publisher:
Secretary: Sister X, did you preach last month? I did not get your slip.
Sister X: No, I was too sick and going everyday to the doctor.
Secretary: (Without showing empathy), I understand, but you didnt even preached to somebody at the hospital?
Sister X: Uhh...Im not sure but I guess I did.
Secretary: Of course you did! lets put down two hours so you dont count as irregular.
I know of stories like this where the secretary assumes you preached. So, for me, that's dishonest and massaging the numbers at its finest.
Peace out.
the governing body and its sellect writers must be hitting a delusional rock bottom over this bull crap:.

@ Redvip
"Since these numbers are compiled internally we will never know, even though there is no reason or evidence to think they are being dishonest. What we have seen in the past is a shuffling game with the numbers and the way they are counted as to appear more than what they are.
Any elder or MS exposed to how the secretary of the cong. "massages" the numbers will know that they are not really being honest. And, since these numbers are a reflection of what the congregations sends, they are not very accurate.
"Also the peak publisher numbers is a good example of how they work the count to make them seem bigger."
Yeah, tryin to make appear something bigger than what it is in not very honest.

1. jehovah's witnesses have a clergy.. 2. that clergy consists of 8 men in brooklyn, n.y.. 3. those 8 men decide what every witness must believe in.. 4. any witnesses who openly disagrees with any of the teachings, faces expulsion & shunning by every fellow witness - relatives included.. welcome to the spiritual paradise!.
Per KateWild:
However, baptism is not a mere bath. It is a symbol of something very important. Going beneath the water symbolizes that you have died to your former life course. Being raised up out of the water indicates that you are now alive to do the will of God. Remember, too, that you have made a dedication to Jehovah God himself, not to a work, a cause, other humans, or an organization . Your dedication and baptism are the beginning of a very close friendship with God—an intimate relationship with him.— Psalm 25:14 .
Current questions:
Baptismal questions from the Watchtower 1985 Jun 1 p.30:
(1) On the basis of the sacrifice of Jesus Christ, have you repented of your sins and dedicated yourself to Jehovah to do his will?
(2) Do you understand that your dedication and baptism identify you as one of Jehovah's Witnesses in association with God's spirit-directed organization?
Indeed a LIE!*
*Unless the can come up with a re-definition like they always do of organization...
