gems from the november watchtower.... searching into "the deep things of god" .
ocr article here.... http://www.sendspace.com/file/vly4jy.
understanding deep things requires study.
I'am not sure if I can say this here but aren't they the GB/FDS like someone we know in history that we took care of during WW two. They want the R&F to bow down to them w/o any questions asked.Their "fits the pattern" yeah keep reading those dumb mind controlling mags.

soliciting your comments as well!
please take a moment to post a comment, even if brief.
share your experience and keep the topic active.. .
You hit the nail right on the head.I feel the same way about all the Ex. in the O/T.The God(Jehovah) of the O/T is like an alcoholic father,really nice when sober but a raging lunatic when drunk.
This weeks WT and like all WT'S are so full of BS.Par 12 talks about the ransom.Par 15 destruction of Sodom/Gomorrah, Par 18 God is slow to anger.So God destroys Sodom/Gomorrah in a hurry without providing a ransom.Yeah that makes sense you drunkard.

we've already had a post on this, but there were other interesting comments.. the brother giving the announcements said that there would be a new understanding of jesus' reference to the generation as discussed at the annual meeting.. an elder giving a service meeting part review of different watchtower articles from the current year brought out the new light concerning 1935.. he asks: "when is the sealing of the anounted ones?".
elder answers: "there is no specific date".
later after the meeting, i asked an elder if the new understanding of the remnant now meant that younger people could go to heaven.. he answered with an affirmative "yes" and that we would be getting the new understanding of the generation jesus spoke of in a future 2008 watchtower.. .
So what happened to the 2000 WT where the GB/FDS listed 6 things that we were deep deep deep very deep in the end of this system,One was that the FDS(anointed,144k) was getting very old and that some would still be on Earth when the end would come.You Know the big A, GT.coming.Oh,they really did not mean it or did they.

Good review.Some how I can't get my head around their reasoning.How can 14,000,000 children benefit from suffering and dying before they are 5 years old every year.When they endure such a painful death,how can it enhance their happiness.
They say Jesus experienced first hand human suffering.Now now Jesus was a man.He did not suffer the pain of woman while on Earth ie the PAIN of giving birth.
Rulership for all I know the type of God Jehovah is he probably had a hand in putting Hilter in power.
Bob
PS I believe the Roman Catholic teaches that the more one suffers on Earth the better his/her chances of getting to Heaven.
i can't remember if i read this here, but i was reminded from another thread..
universal sovereignty is pretty much the whole explanation for why god permits suffering, correct?.
why would a god of love make it last so long?
If Universal Sovereignty is the issue per WBTS than Satan is winning hands down.Lets compare it to a football game.At the end of the game the team with the highest score wins.Ex..Jets 35 packers 28,Jets win.World 6.7 billion(Satan per WBTS) JW'S 6.7 million. Satan wins hands down.
About Lot's wife per WBTS those people won't get a second chance.So this loving God don't give a shit about childern,just like the WBTS and their coverup about sexual abuse.
Bob
i hope that some of you lurkers out here really take a look at some of the thread in this section of the board.
this awake magazine says not one thing about how families are asked to trust their elders and how these very elders were and are abusing their children.
it mentions nothing about watching out for these trusted men in the congregations.............oh it brings out the internet, other family members and fathers and males in particular.. it will tell you how much your child needs to do to prevent something like this from happening.
The example the WT uses..wasn't Heather's father the scumbag from Saskatoon the was posted here.
Bob
If God destroys this generation or any other He is going against his word because all people and Angels are looking on.They will say you have to give them a chance that is per WBTS/GB.
Bob
What no accurate Bible until the NWT of 1960.Yeah right on God keep everyone in the dark.Sorry not God but bs fds/gb.
Bob
Excellent review,I like all the points you made about how unjust and cruel God is.The WTBS BS about a new sys soon, not God wants to see more suffering.
Bob
here's a lovely highlight from the new issue of everyone's favorite 'journal.
' notice how they try to talk scientific accuracy two pages after an illustration showing jonah about to be swallowed by fish wherein he is to spend 3 days...alive.
.
I cannot believe they would publish such an article full of lies and dishonesty.Ex.all their A&W and books are published by WBTS and are (c) yet they say in this A see such and such book published by Jehovah's Witnesses.Also the article mentions that they aren't trying to convert anyone bs.
