many years ago we would be on someone's doorstep, when waiting for the house holder to come to the door we say something like ... yea after the big a this is going to be my house.
imagine saying that today with the common use of doorbell cameras and the squatting problem .
I mentioned how lovely, etc. and the sister said: “they are having their reward in full”.
Oh yes, how entitled they feel they are. Sickens me. Our territory was a mix of very modest dwellings and some of the most expensive on canals by the ocean. I remember similar statements said while in the FS work in Naples. So judgemental and superior.
Waves to LHG...so good to see you here after all these years.
if you don't gerrit you remain in the losch of lies and manipulations of the new world society of jehovah’s witnesses .
today only one organization is exclaiming about this real peril.
this is the new world society of jehovah’s witnesses.
All they have to say now is the end is "really really really really close!"
Everybody seems to be good with just that.

None of the GB had any religious training as far as I know, and they don't really care to. So they can make any claim and go about their day because it just doesn't matter. They are focused on $$ and keeping their jobs and golden living arrangements.
I was still in when a program came on PBS about apocalyptic religions through the centuries. I'm sure your list above was part of the program. The show came right through the 1800's and the offshoots of Miller. Each sect presented perfectly good reasons in their mind why their specific date was "the real end of the world." It made all the difference to me and I was out within two years. I watched the same show with an elder friend and his wife, and it didn't phase him one bit. So it goes.
Good riddance.

confused holy spirit appoints killer servant.
"" a twisted jehovah's witness bludgeoned a woman he rowed with over incomplete building works to death with a hammer, then merrily whistled as he packed up his tools and went to lead a service at the church where they met.
You just wonder what in the world it could possibly take to make people at least question the appointment arrangement when something like this happens.
This is horrifying.

Yes there was a guy down here in the 90's who went to prison. Financial "planner" I think, ended up a ponzi scheme.

They are going to distance themselves from the rules that require the intrusive policing of the flock that they were all about for decades. It detracts from the corporate goals of real estate/media/lawsuits etc.
The two witness rule is a bit more complicated as it’s an insane defense in a CSA in a court of law or opinion.
👏🏻 waves to Balaam and 3rd!!! ❤️❤️

Men make religion. They can make up what means what to their hearts content.
The person studying with you would most like not be able to answer anything about Christadelphians, or anybody.
My answer to my brother regarding the FDS, Matt. 24:45-46 clearly outlines the onus is on how the slave is treating the domestics, not if the domestics are obedient to the appointed slave.
Remember less is best in talking to them. I say be gracious and thankful for their concern but in a tone to suggest this discussion is over.

Probably best if you continue to play the "MOM IS SICK" card and tell them your schedule is SO BUSY at the moment that you are SO STRESSED OUT. Thank them for their love and concern.
^^^This.
Say only this. I understand the feeling of wanting to be honest and up front, but it will not go well for you. You will get used to it eventually. This worked for me. There was fallout, and it's a nervous dance, actually still is a bit and I've been out for 22 years.
Good luck.
