  GB Gerrit Losch and his questionable article in the 7/14 WT study edition!!!

  by ADJUSTMENTS in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  in this article gerrit talks about his father in the first and last paragraphs, what he says about him and his hope for him goes against all that witnesses have preached about the worldly for the last 100 years... as i recall aren't all the worldly supposed to be destroyed and never have a hope of everlasting life like jw's are, and isn't that the purpose of the preaching work to baptize and warn the worldly of this???

  if not why do jws even preach, or even become jws in the first place if all have a hope of everlasting life, jw and non-jw, are they releasing a little hint at new light to come???

  or am i just missing or over analyzing something?.

  BTW: 'There is to be a resurrection of both the righteous and the unrighteous (those heretofore unacquainted with God's will).'

  Thank you, ADJUSTMENTS, for posting this.

  During last week's WT study, I looked at the article and was taken by the comment below:

  "I also look forward to observing from heaven the earthly resurrection and, at last, finding my physical father."

  I will not say how I "was taken." While not taking issue with his sincerity, nevertheless, I puzzled over his declared assurance of the 3 words in bold face.

  Would WT-Fantasy Videos Keep Kids in the Truth?

  if the society put out theocratic warfare videos, it would really help jw youths stick around, imho.

  in place of commercial videos that are violent and suggestive, wt-sanctioned videos would supply a viable, healthy alternative.

  accordingly, concerned and thoughtful witness parents could participate with their little warriors in theocratic warfare videos as virtual ot prophets wipe out the dread canaanites, zimri and cozbi take love to new heights and the beasts of revelation devour their quarry .... and the parents count their time.. any other thoughts regarding family worship night and related meeting parts?

  On Facebook I saw a post of Caleb in a space suit . . .

  Forgot to ask him what in blazes he was doing there.

  Have you seen it?!?!?!?

  Edited to add: Found it -- he's manning a literature cart/trolley, but I see no aliens.

  Would they accept and embrace the GNOTK?

  i learned that you print your own or get a tablet.. i couldn't determine if the congregation actually receives hardcopies anymore.. what's a poor brother to do?

  a question for those that still attend meetings.... how many use tablets or ipads in your hall?.

  i did roving microphones this week, and i counted 43 people (variety of ages) out of an audience of 98!.

  just curious....

  Hi Stuckinarut:

  I put up a thread yesterday about the difficulty of finding a hardcopy WT for meeting. When inquiring, I was asked if I could print my own or did I have a tablet. Both ink and tablets are not in the budget. I learned I could order a copy.

  I hear champagne is cheaper, comparatively speaking, than ink. Makes me wonder . . . ???

  My, how times have changed!

  You're correct, BD. Regularity at meetings was mentioned as a criterion. I, too, am inactive. Going out in service would be impossible on the basis of my appearance alone.

  Just call me Samson, son of Manoah . . .

  Thanks!

  Thanks, Beautiful Dreamer and nonjwspouse:

  You both make valid points -- I'm grateful that you took time to comment. Yes, for reasons of my own I do want a copy.

  See ya later. I'm off to work in order to buy groceries, pay rent, buy ink . . .

  The only tablet in my hand ever is made of paper!

  Best.

  YES! Place an order. So simple.

  Thanks, OneEyedJoe.

  That's what I figured about the spares, but none were to be found. I guess the shipments now are for a much smaller number.

  Take care.
