  "Jehovah ALWAYS had/used an organization". How would you reply?

  by EdenOne in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  in a recent meeting with elders, an argument was used to the effect that jehovah has always [= throughout history] used, or operated through, an organization; therefore, the wts must be that organization today, since god must be using one.

  naturally, i know what arguments i've used to counter that argument.

  but i'm interested in hearing yours.

  A visible organization is out of harmony with God’s divine plane. — Watch Tower, December 1, 1894, page 1743

  Beware of “organization.” It is wholly unnecessary. — Watch Tower, September 13, 1895, page 1866.

  Inherit the Earth?????

  by Crazyguy in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the wt has taught that some of the righteous will inherit the land and live on earth forever.

  this dogma is very hard to get over because some scriptures allude to this and even jesus said the meek will inherit the earth.

  but also jesus himself will inherit the nations but that doesn't mean he will reside down here with them.. so how does one explain that the meaning of inherit does not mean necessarily that one will have to live here on earth?

  Funny thing is that the WT/FDS/GB applis this scripture to the Great Crowd...to make nice for the public.

  No 2014 JW Yearbook (Yet as of 1-6-14)

  for me is very strange that the yearbook for 2014 is not out yet on the internet and/or gongregations.

  is strange to me because it is a book that comes annually, and no word yet from the borg of it.

  you don't expect something like that from the wt/fds/gb to be dlayed that much.. it makes me wonder, what's going on???

  Let's see if that's the reason LG. But is really strange that a corporatio that prides itself too much on order and reliability is behind on this.

  no longer a ms ........................... can't give details atm, for it might be a dead-giveaway and it ain't quite over yet.

  but, it really taught me one thing: if you're trying to fade or stay in, trust no one.

  and i mean no one.. eden.

  Eden,

  Hope you can come out with dignity. I wish you the best.

  The part of the 144.000 vs Other Sheep is a "no no" for JWs. I think, like you, that that's the real meaning of the Other Sheepp, but JW's dont care. They only care what Mama says.

  Hello all,

  For me is very strange that the Yearbook for 2014 is not out yet on the internet and/or gongregations. (Does yours have it?).

  is strange to me because it is a book that comes annually, and no word yet from the Borg of it. You don't expect something like that from the WT/FDS/GB to be dlayed that much.

  It makes me wonder, what's going on??? I wish we had an insider from Bethel here.

  PS: is not that I care about it or read it. Actually, I want to see the numbers on the annointed :-).

  Reasons for reading about the hidden secrets of the Watch Tower religion

  by Terry in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  the volume of e-mail i have received from still-in jw's because of reading my book has startled me.. somebody sends them a copy and they secretly read it.

  that's gratifying enough, certainly, but--they take the.

  trouble to e-mail me or contact me on facebook, and that boggles my mind.. .
