All appointed men are being told they have to pioneer now!

by stuckinarut2 in

yes, you read correctly..... all appointed men have been told in a new letter that they have to pioneer to "set the lead" whenever there is a "special" campaign month.

they use some scripture saying that these ones have to show by example.... so for any of us who are appointed and have learned ttatt, it is going to be very hard to fade during this time!.

Does anyone remember the excuse they used in 1979-1980

by Crazyguy in

back in 79-80 they came out with another wt stating quite clearly that jesus was not the mediator for most jw's and of course this upset quite a few and some asked "if jesus is not my mediator then how does god hear my prayers?

' does anyone remember what they said to answer this question?.

It is taught that while Jesus is not Mediator for the other sheep he is their High Priest.

*** w95 6/1 p. 30 Questions From Readers ***

Now note [Hebrews4] verse 16. Paul says that we—and this includes both the anointed and those of the other sheep—can approach God with freeness of speech. (John 10:16) The apostle did not mean that we in prayer can say just anything we want, even angry, irreverent things. Rather, on the basis of Jesus’ sacrifice and his role as High Priest, we can approach God despite our being sinners.

*** w95 11/15 p. 17 par. 7 Stay in the “City of Refuge” and Live! ***

So the great High Priest first applied the merit of his sacrifice to his anointed followers, “the sons of Israel.” Now it is being applied to the ‘alien residents’ and ‘settlers’ in the antitypical city of refuge. These “other sheep” of the Lord Jesus Christ hope to live forever on earth.—John 10:16; Psalm 37:29, 34.

*** w55 11/15 p. 700 par. 42 “Jehovah Is in His Holy Temple” ***

42 Are you a member of the remnant? Then do not think that since these other sheep are not spiritual Israelites with a heavenly inheritance they have no right to enter the court of the spiritual temple to worship Jehovah through his High Priest Jesus

BLONDIE:The WTS must be really desperate for cash.

That's the message my husband got from this article and so he deposited some extra funds for the World Wide Work

He didn't like my telling him about the Conti case on the way home.

Very weird brother.

by quellycatface in

this might make you either laugh or puke......

"He didn't want parents to teach their children that Jehovah is "up there" with pointing fingers up."

Once some friends wanting to show off what they had taught the child asked her, "Where is God?" She promptly pointed to the table lamp. It seems they had a ceiling light when they were teaching her "where is God?"

The parents were a bit embarassed but we all had a good laugh.

If albumin is allowed when it's not from blood, could white blood cells from mother's milk be allowed?

by ILoveTTATT in

i think something that would totally "close the gap" with jw's and not accepting blood but accepting it through the fractions of fractions would be to harvest white blood cells from mother's milk (there are already mother's milk banks) and then transfuse them to witness patients who need wbc's.

since technically they are not from blood, i think it would be an interesting loophole.

anyone here know about a disease that can only be cured/treated with wbc's?
