  lol. Is funny how the jw think that preaching is the same as placing a book. He didn't even say anything to President Andre "Obama" about Jesus Christ.

  Of course this is made up.

  New forum 'parousia' is upon us! (software version)

  by Simon in

  1. forum
  2. announcements

  the time has nearly come to switch over to the new forum software.

  of course it's not completely finished yet (and never will be) but i think it's good enough to go live with and probably already better than the current one.

  i'll give you a quick overview of what to expect and post more detail about the changeover process later.. cloud platform.

  The official requirement for salvation in the latest WT, nothing to do with Jesus......

  by EndofMysteries in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  "those with the earthly hope who supported christs brothers in the preaching work will have been judged as sheep and will be granted the privilege of living in the earthly realm of the kingdom.

  " 3/2015 study wt learn from illustration of talents par 13.. so there you have it, to get salvation you need to only obey the gb and if you obey and worship the gb, then you will be judged as a sheep.

  truly those who listen and obey, will be blessed!.

  2. friends

  i just want the governing body to know how "happified" i am today.

  keep sending those branch letters to the congregation(s) about sending your donations in.

  not only did you humiliate the rank and file with your tony morris tight pants talk but now you are begging the same people you humiliated for money.

  Re: Donations in Support of Kingdom Interests Worldwide

  Dear Brothers:

  We would like to express our deep appreciation for your generous support of Kingdom
  interests around the world. God’s people have a long history of making heartfelt voluntary contributions
  to support true worship, and this year was no exception. As we are well-aware, considerable
  resources are needed to publish and distribute Bibles and Bible literature, to build and
  maintain meeting places and branch facilities, and to provide emergency relief aid to fellow believers
  in times of disaster. Your recognition and appreciation for these blessings are evident by
  your willingness to “honor Jehovah with your valuable things.”—Prov. 3:9, 10.
  There is ample evidence that Jehovah is speeding up the work. (Isa. 60:22) With the recent
  adjustments to Kingdom Hall and Assembly Hall construction and financing, concerted effort
  will be focused on building places of worship throughout the earth. We are confident that
  with Jehovah’s continued blessing, many more will stream to “the mountain of the house of Jehovah.”—Isa.
  2:2.
  As loyal Kingdom subjects, we continue to show our support for Kingdom activities with
  all our heart. Just as under the Mosaic Law each Israelite man gave a gift “in proportion to the
  blessing that Jehovah” had given him, we today reflect on how He has blessed us in our lives and
  freely give of our time, energy, and resources in promoting Kingdom activities. (Deut. 16:16, 17)
  As we do so, we are assured that Jehovah treasures such a giving spirit!
  We pray Jehovah’s rich blessing on all your hard work and loyal service as we work
  “shoulder to shoulder” in support of Kingdom interests.—Zeph. 3:9.

  GETTING THINGS STRAIGHT. Who invented the "FDS" as a prophetic identification of the GB? WHEN?

  by Terry in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  15 july 1906 issue of the watch tower russell stated maria russell was the first who in 1894 "called attention to matt.

  24:44-45, applying it to me at a meeting at allegheny and in another meeting with the new york church.

  i demurred that i had not thought of the passage thus, and declined to make any personal application of it, although i could not deny the force of the argument....i urged great moderation in the making of any personal application" (p. r3811).

  Thanks Terry.

  These clowns were saying that by 1922 (23) Russell was the FDS? But now they say the GB was the FDS by 1919? Even thou the GB was not "created" as it is today until the '70s. Crazy.

  do other religions change doctrines like the wt society does?

  by sowhatnow in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i just wondered.

  i mean ok, the catholic church seems to make 'adjustments' more or less , by accepting previously held prejudices.

  against certain things, like gays, or birth control, or rather tolerate it more, but is that a genuine change of doctrine?.

  According to the WT/GB/FDS, religions can't change believes. Go figure.

  ""Tell me," he asked, "how can I have confidence in anything? How can I believe in the Bible, in God, or have faith? Just ten years ago we Catholics had the absolute truth, we put all our faith in this. Now the pope and our priests are telling us this is not the way to believe any more, but we are to believe 'new things.' How do I know the 'new things' will be the truth in five years?"" Awake! 1970 Apr 22 p.8
