Blondie's Comments You Will Not Hear at the 06-10-2012 WT Study (BETRAYAL)

by blondie in

how can we imitate the loyalty.

in our loyalty to our marriage.

your marriage mate.

Q11 talk about worshipping men.Pts in WT from FDS hard to understand.Yeah.because they are not in the bible.Like FDS understanding of the length of a generation.Like the FDS saying the generation that saw 1914 will not pass away(die).

Q17 Do you think he came back after 10 years to worship the FDS or he was pulling the wool over their eyes so he could talk to family.

I find it ironic"should you be charged for religious services"

by bobld in

some of their comments.. leaders of professed christian religions charge a fee for religious services.these may include baptisms,weddings or funerals.. but does the bible support such customs of charging for religious services or even of making people feel obligated to pay.yet,at the same time,they professed divine backing.. in the time of micah,priests "instructed just for a price"jehovah was not a supporter,he detested their conduct.. today many religious leaders resort to the same greedy tactics.. however,jehovah's witnesses obtain needed funds through voluntary donations.they do not charge for their literature or religious.

services.they don't tithe or pass a collection plate.. tell me how this relates to their charging for c.a.

or sad now d.c..

I apologize for my english grammar deficienices.

The point I was trying to make is the hypocrisy of the wbts found in the awake June 2010 p.22/23.

mp: don/t get me started on the bible.When I read it,it gives diarrhrea and brain farts.

sir82:Let me explain.Assembly Halls are built for worship/bible ed/fs.They are paid for clear title in a few years.

Plenty of money in the maintenance fund via resolution.X dollars/month/publisher.

IS NOT A C.A. PART OF OUR WORSHIP.Why is a financial statement given at ea C.A. for heavy duty expense for

the C.A.?When all expenses are covered as per above.Is that not the same as charging for a religious servive.

Someone can explain how they raise the RFP(CAPITAL) via pledges/wills/estates.

The free literture,not until after 1990 in the USA when they lost a court case with(.......).They were charging for it in other places after that date.

Reinstatement in the kingdom hall means that you'll still be shunned by all for a long time = decades!

by witchtowerwitch in

don't count on too much mercy my fine featherd friends,,,hehehe,,,lol...!after your reinstated,it will take 20 to 30 years before the dubs start to forget your sorted past.....and you all know this right?so why bother crawling back with you little tail between your legs,so a bunch of glorious elders can save face before the rank and file?no one should be df okay,as this was not the teachings of jesus,only paul who wrote this stuff,but could some wacko in the last 2000 years have inserted this satanic practice into the scriptures to control the masses and manipulate them?the apostle paul wrote too many contradictions in his writings,so why trust in anything that he wrote about?why trust the gb in hq/nyc as to their writings in these past 130 years,since everything that they wrote about is all lies,,,hehehe lol...!who is going to disfellowship them in the hq department for being liars?maybe jehovah will do it in his own due time?.

bobld

Not sure if this will fit here or maybe I should start a new topic.

It is all to do with honour.However I'll put it this way.....Honour-killing phenomenon (patriachal custom).

Its,despicable,heinous.A twisted concept of honour.No place in civilized society.However,they claim it is req'd to purify

the name of the family.Protect family reputation.It's a horrific tradition of cleansing families tainted honour..

Concept of family honour justifies the act in their eyes.

Females in the family suppport the attacks.Its a community mentality.

Now use your imagination an substitue applicable terms and see if the outcome is not horrific victimization.

Immortal life or Everlasting life?

by The Searcher in

it's very interesting that 1st corinthians 15:53 has been cited in the watchtower study articles last week and this week.

that scripture, speaking about humans, translates the greek word 'athanasia' to mean 'immortality'.

can that be correct?

bobld

Matt.22:30 At the resurrection people will neither marry,they will be like angels in heaven who don't have children.

Blantant coitridiction in todays wt

by elderelite in

jw
friends

this isnt news worthy of course, but i thought i would point it out anyway... apologies to blondie, i dont see the normal wt thread yet.... .

para 2 states that "the other sheep should never forget their salvation depends on their active support of christs anointed "brothers" [gb] still on earth".

para 13 says "he [peter] pointed out that their hope is not founded on their works, but on [the deserts gods] undeserved kindness".

bobld

Q2 unbelievable with their brazen conduct.My salvation does not depend on some ASS holes in N.Y. city.

I can not imagine, anyone would have the balls to write such shit.They should be ashamed of themselves.

R.C. leaders=dipsticks

GB/WTS=dipsticks.

GB: "We don't know if Jehovah wants us to build new headquarters, but we're doing it anyway..."

by cedars in

the latest august 15th watchtower study edition features an interesting review of the society's annual meeting.. one comment struck me as evidence that the governing body isn't quite as "discreet" as it claims.. here is what the article said:.

"there are plans to develop a 248-acre (100 ha) property at warwick.

'although we are not yet certain of jehovahs will regarding warwick,' said brother pierce, 'we are proceeding to develop the site with the intention of relocating the world headquarters of jehovahs witnesses there.

That statements tells me two things.

1.They are short on money.

2.The 2008 stock market caught them off guard and they had to put on hold the selling off of dumbo.

maybe 3.the wills and estates dropped off due to the down turn in the economy.

bible no other book

by bobld in

many say,no other book in all history compares with it.. widely owned book,one least read.people don't understand it.. it's wisdom unmatched,guide for all,brings peace,joy etc and a gift from god.. yet you read kings and chronicles and you see evil rulers like hiltler,stalin.. read ruth..purchase a wife and land on the witnesses of removing a sandal.. where do you get away with, a jew(god's people) marrying a gentile.. try reading your kids a bedtime story from revelation.. the r.c almost had it right when they burnt the bible,they didn't go far enough..

bobld

Thanks for your comments.

Like I said on the outset,many view the bible as a great book for how to live.I don't see it that way at all.It may be a history book.

When someone tells me to read it every day because it is beneficial,I don't agree anymore then reading about Hilter everyday is beneficial.

Try reading all those names times and times and a half time is just stupid and a waste of you guess it times and t.

Just read the shit for yourself and you will agree it is ( ).
