Watchtower (explanations) or Watchtower (excuses)--how to know which

by Terry in

imagine you are standing in the shoes of a person living in the year 1879.. if you were in ireland you'd have heard about an appearance of the virgin mary, st.joseph and st.john the evangelist to locals in the town of knock.. you'd have heard that an inventor, thomas edison, was performing his first experiments on something called a "light bulb.".

reading your local newspaper you'd be astonished to discover that an american aviator, cal rodgers, had actually flown clear across the three thousand miles of the american continent all by himself!

in the same year a haberdasher's son, charles taze russell, begins publishing zion's watch tower and herald of christs presence.. .

'PROGRESSIVE REVELATION" That one is just bad.EX.new light on fds and spiritual food.They say all material (spiritual food) is reviewed like

70 times before it is printed in their mags. So why is it when I got the 2000 wt that said the end was close because the fbs was old and some

would be on the earth before the end.When I read that mag I said they will have to change it in 10 years.If I said that to the elders it was wrong,they

would Q my motives.Why because I have a better understanding of the bible.

2ndly when the say 'The evidence is clear that Jehovah has used and is continuing to use his organization" THAT is true but that Organization IS NOT

the wbts/gb(??fds).

Thanks! Blondie

Materialism,they sure don't practice what they preach.New HQ when the end is so close,but I can't save for retirement.

They want me to work cleaning toilets at 80yrs of age.No wait I'll be dead cleaning toilets before the end is here.

Stick it up yours where the sun don't shine.

Q13.Where is all they love that that preach.No elder help,no brotherly love.

The GB Changed the date of when they began.

by Jackoffjill in

jeoff jackson how is spiritual food prepared?

2 principles; 1/.dan12:4 always make continuous, careful search.

1cor4:6, dont go beyond the things that are written.

bobld

What is the understanding of the over lapping gereration now.

So the holy spirit is only at the HQ of the WBTS.

The researchers are wasting their time because they are not directed or have the H.S. to help them understand,it's all at H.Q.

In Jehovah's Witnesses- Elders Have Rights- other JW's Don't- 10/15 WT

by flipper in

jw
friends

in the 10/15 watchtower study edition on pg.

12 is the article " what kind of spirit do you show ?

" right away this article starts drawing the line of demarcation in the sand between who has the right to make decisions within jehovah's witnesses and who does not have the right to do so.

bobld

Flipper! Thanks for kicking the GB in the cahoonas

-Older men(who) are not perfect-SO

-Elders may make mistakes-SO

Over look certain minor failing-YES

Most members overlook minor errors, that is a given.

However,most members cannot overlook the blatant hypocrisy of some elders.

So don't blame the members because you are short of honest elders.

It makes me wonder,to make a change in the same year if they are in some financial difficulty or are afraid of losing their assets,lawsuit,etc.

History tells us what the Gestapo did.

Poor homeless Bro. Larry Jackson

theres a story in the ny daily news today that says this jw is homeless and was denied shelter after having a brief conversation with the woman who helped him with his application after he mentioned he was a jw.

her reasoning of why she denied his application was that she thought he would go door to door in the 45-unit facility!

i myself find that hilarious, he just mightve done that to get his time in!

bobld

Now that there is a lawsuit and the wbts see $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ they will help him.

Questions for Recover and ANY JW here, if can be explained I'll return to JW.

by EndofMysteries in

while i am waiting for him to answer my question.

i thought i would ask of him and any other jw's.

we are supposed to have the truth, the bible is all scripture is inspired and benefitical for teaching, reproving, and setting things straight.

bobld

You should never listen or read their propaganda.

As an Example Nov 2012 awake p28 understanding the Bible:They quote 6 scripture about the dead.

With the following description"The Bible teaches the dead are actually dead.They are not alive in

heaven or somewhere else but are asleep.HENCE,THEY CANNOT PRAISE GOD OR EVEN THINK."

So by their logic the 144,000 are dead, are actually dead,they cannot even think.

So there you have it.They 144,000 cannot give any instruction to the anointed on earth,THEY ARE DEAD

ARE ACTUALLY DEAD.

"Safeguard Your Mind" assembly targeting apostate thinking

by promised_presence in

i recently attended the second day of the 2 day assembly for safeguarding your mind.

the first talk was entitled "feed your mind at jehovah's table".

the first portion of this talk specifically targeted apostates warning members to not listen to them "even if they were once strong in the truth or had great responsiblity in the congregation".

bobld

"Safeguard Your Mind" I immediately thought of how they will brainwash the mind of the sheep by their propaganda.
