hey everyone,.
i have been getting in on going debates with brothers in the congregation about the role of the governing body.
i feel that jehovah would not want us to blindly follow a particular g.b.
Saul the pharisee said it was God's will to kill JESUS.Much like the wbts/gb/fds say we must follow them.Jesus set Saul(Paul) damn straight.Just like your EX.Saul now Paul realized it was a BIG mistake of following man(wbts/gb/fds).He Paul accepted J.C. as his personal Savior.See Col.2;8

You could use the example ,would it be wise to let a blind man lead you across a busy street.Oh ,wait the light for the blind man is getting brighter.
we had a co looking for a certain experience for an assembly part coming up and the elders in my hall at the time sent him to see me, since i usually had good experiences out in field service.. anyway, after speaking with the co, i was sorry to inform him that i did not have an experience that suited the type he needed.
he told me that was o.k.
because he could use me anyway for another part.
Great post Lilly
The A.P. are total bs.How the R&F believe them is beyond me.When their brains are fried by bs I guess anything is possible.

next week's congregation bible study will explain and illustrate why christendom is toast, and how we can contribute to the joy of christ by supporting "the faithful and discreet slave.".
the anger and the joy of the messianic king.
10. like his father, our master is by nature happy.
So the WBTS should not be TAX EXEMPT because they don't do chartiable works.

with all the disasters,floods,earthquakes in australia/new zealand the wbts is quite.no mention from the platform of how the bro/sis are doing.. b.
the april 15th wt is strange and it just throws things in here and there that are kind of out of sort.
i think it sticks in your mind more like hey i probably should pioneer when they throw things in that are kind of in left feild.. like this example on pages 16 and 17 it is talking about making decisions and in paragraph 15 it says "for example a congregation publisher might decide to pioneer.
will he succeed?
Good post LITS
By the comments in the WT, the GB must be reading this site because they see the R&F don't want or try to have Bible studies or convert people.They learned well and the people don't listen to them anymore.

i was a gung-ho advocate for jws.
i got on the message boards and would argue down any detractor, apostate, church pastor, disgruntled ex-jw, you name it... i was out in the ministry constantly, practically running from door to door, preaching.
i started studies left and right.
You said "I feel I belong in Jehovah's house".Well then what are you doing in Satan's house.

several years ago, before my wife and i left, my 5 yr old daughter got up during the watchtower to cross the aisle to sit with someone else.
she tripped on the roving microphone wire and smashed her head on the foot of a metal chair.
the bleeding was profuse and an ambulance was called.
You can bet your last dollar that the wbts will go to wireless mics after this .The wbts like to say they are righteous and honest and obey all rules and laws.I do not think having mic cables in isles in a public place is lawful.

12 the watchtower ?
5 what good results there can be when.
children are trained to keep a simple eye!.
What do you expect from an uneducated GB/FBS.They should get an education so they know how the world functions.
B
they can convert a harden criminal,a drug addict,an alcoholic,a good catholic.they claim to have love and unity amoung themselves.they claim to have the true religion.they say they uphold and live by bible standards and df anyone who doesn't.. yet, all these things are worthless,valueless,meaningless,zere,zippo,nada in the eyes of jehovah.why!
because jehovah demands exclusive devotion.the j.w are blinded by the teaching of the wtbs/gb.they are in effect worshipping an idol the gb.jehovah god hates idolatry.. b .
bow to the virgin mary.the j.w.

The R.C. bow to the virgin Mary.The J.W. bow to the GB.
i got some notes from a talk that guy pierce of the governing body gave in the past few years.
there was a good portion on eduation.
these are the relevant notes (not a transcript):.
He should say "What puny FDS/GB teach us is garbage" and why "spend our life time listening to the garbage that the FDS/GB teaches.
