WT + Awake Update - restrictions

by stillajwexelder in

study edition of the wt will be restricted - it will be as per km

bobld

New WT Public Edition.

Lets see if I got this right...It (WT mag )appeals to Non-Witnesses who may accept the Bible...It shows how the Bible can help families...It deals with world conditions...It shows the reliability of the Bible...It W/A shows what the Bible really teaches.All of the above are from the GB Km which is their internal Memo to the Slaves.

What's with "who may accept the Bible".All true Religion ie R.C.,Lutheran.Baptists, etc have a true translation of the Bible and accept what it teaches.For over 130 years the GB of the WT were preaching from this WT as a Bible base journal.The public kept telling them that the Bible does not teach such things as "PIONEER, 1914,and other unique terms that need explaining.So now they are going to hoodwink the public with their new improved lie.The brain dead slaves will bow down and thank their god,the gb from this new provision.

Why not try a novel new idea and just use the BIBLE for teaching,preaching setting things straight..

Comments You Will Not Hear at the 7-22-07 WT Study (Elderly Blessing)

by blondie in

elderly ones, a blessing to the young.

do you associate often with people younger than you?

q1, 2) what should elderly servants of god appreciate, and what will we now consider?.

bobld

Thanks,for the review Blondie

Your're right they the GB is stuck on the OT.They tried to play make belief with this years D.C. of "Follow The Christ".Can you imagine when they review the WT at the D.C.this weekend.Notice......Moses is mentioned 7 times,Abraham 8 times, Noah 10 times.Guess how many times Jesus's is mentioned only ONE time.I did not bother counting all the other oldies.

What if you're missing the purpose?

by journey-on in

jw

for those of you who espouse the philosophy that one needs to discard who we "think" we are and embrace the "reality" of who we really are, what if, there is a divine purpose to our miniscule existence in the here and now and that purpose is to experience the pull of opposite forces (duality), and you are missing it by not allowing yourself to experience the ego self?

what if you are missing the whole purpose of this pull of pain and joy by trying to suppress it or place yourself outside of it?

the below is a short story sent to me by a friend and it is an example of what i'm inferring.

bobld

Man couldn't develop fully just like that butterfly because God interfered and kicked man out of the garden.

Thanks for the review,Blondie

So look at any church 80% who attend are elderly.However, their salvation does not depend on wasted time drving around town putting in fake hours.GB of WBTS you cannot shame your flock to slave for you and expect more.

Fading In? Am I nuts?

by jaydoe in

jw
friends

i am a baptized jw that faded some years back.

in those days i deeply believed in the org and became disillusioned by some things happening in the local congregation.

following some research on the net i decided to fade out of watchtower existence because i did not want to keep mixing with false religion (or so i thought at the time).

bobld

Is it really true you want to go back? Why do you ask? Did someone ask you and /or you read something in the WT/A?Maybe your invit to a D.C?Maybe you do not believe the Scholars on this forum?

D.C. "Come Be My Follower" 2007

by bobld in

jw
friends

that was the new book released at the d.c. some observations:they made reference to john 3:16.i noticed they referred to it a number of times,but only mentioned the 1st part about the ransom and not the part"in order that everyone exercising faith in him might not be destroyed but have everlasting life".

in the book "come be my follower" they criticize christendom and what it believes.page 12 they state the purpose of the book"its aim is,not to give a complete summary of the life and ministry ofjesus,"than on page 22 they state "the study aid,will make a careful study of the life and ministry of jesus".

also on page 12 and page 28 they say see "the greatest man who ever lived" and" what does the bible really teach?

Also on page 12 and page 28 they say see "The Greatest Man Who Ever Lived" and" What Does the Bible Really Teach?" published by Jehovah's Witnesses. When you look at those books both are published by the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society of New York,Inc. Brooklyn.New York,U.S.A. and International Bible Students Association Brooklyn,New York,U.S.A.

So if I'am one of Jehovah's Witnesses and a publisher of "Come Be My Follower" I can give anyone permission to reproduce and sell any portion of this book.

Isn't Jehovah a wonderful God?

by nvrgnbk in

jw
friends

when i look around at all the people in the world, i'm comforted to know that jehovah will soon destroy them.. i'm talking about people that don't attend our encouraging christian meetings.

yes, people that don't zealously participate in the preaching of the good news.

'what good news?

bobld

Just to show the mental thinking of a JW.When doing the weekly Bible reading in Ezekiel Ch.9 where Jehovah gave instructions to KILL every old man, young man, virgin and LITTLE CHILD.I was asked if I would kill those people.I said never, I'am not a murderer besides to kill a little baby is insane.The person said, what you would not do what Jehovah asked? My reply,it make me sick to the stomach that you would even ask me such a question.

NEW policy! NO LIT for EX-JWs!

by MinisterAmos in

it's official; they read the letter tonight that puts forth the new procedure.

if you find an expelled person in the field or are studying with one, you are no longer permitted to give them lit.

presumably the elders make a decision if an expelled one is regularly attending meetings, but only they can give them lit.

bobld

So they (GB) finally gave up on the Watchtower,because people caught on to their lies and it's no longer profitable.Just use the Bible.

illustarted earthquake in armenia few yaers ago.

bobld

So they want us to advertise their convention.However,in a letter to ALL Congregations,they want us(slaves) to transfer any food we get from a Fast food deli's to plain brown bags and not bring any packages with commerical labels.My question to GB/FDS/WTBTS.A.MORRIS.why are you misleading the people who rent the facility?Is it all about money?You want me to wear my convention tag(badge) and witness to the person that I'am buying food from and than .....tell them to put it in a brown bag.Come on now ,he is in business,he paid a lot of money to have his name on those containers.

I'll have some thoughts on Education..later.

Spirits of the Dead - love this brochure

by moomanchu in

this is a fun brochure to read after you have been out for awhile makes you realize how crazy it all was.. i listed some good quotes, there's more.. .

spirits have no tlived and died on earth (cept those bad angels before the flood).

spirits exist!

bobld

Moonanchu,you bring up a very interesting point.Just look at the Revelation book that the brainwashed JW's are studying.In that bible based publication by the FDS/GB,they mention that some of those 144,000 that died and are in heaven today are in fact communicating truth to the FDS/GB.
