by bobld in

the wbts leadership has specific instructions (educational material,books,etc) on how to preach,conduct bible studies and who qualifies to become an ordined minister.the prime obligation of such ministers is the kingdom preaching.*.

the fds say baptism signifies ordination.almost 8 million j.w.

are faithfully serving god as his ministers.q2 baptism says.....your dedication and baptism identifys you as one of j.w.

The fds/gb are responsible for their ordined ministers and can't COP OUT via their general counsel that the member held no position of leadership(ordined minister) and the organization(wtbs) is not reponsible. R.C.church is responsible for their priests likewise the wbts leadership is responsible for their ordined ministers.

What if...Barbara Anderson was never disfellowshipped.

by kneehighmiah in

with all these new lawsuits coming against the watchtower, i wonder what would have happened if the watchtower had revised their policies instead of disfellowshipping whistleblowers.

i wonder if the gb regrets it.

what if they had accepted that child abuse was a real issue and abolished the 2 witness rule?

bobld

Remember Bill Bowen he was disfellowshipped for speaking out on the issue.Maybe he will sue for them calling him a liar.

I don't understand the psyche of JW

by bobld in

the majority have good jobs,drive newer vehicles,have nice homes,go on vacations.all in all they have the smarts.. however,rwhen it comes to their religion,they are dummer than a sack of hammers.they drive around in circles to get two hours of service time.they can't differentiate what the fds/gb say is from jehovah god,when in reality it is the stuff that comes out of a horses ass.what the horse eats(as it were food at the proper time from the gb) comes out of the horse as manure(shit sounds better) as a loving provision from jehovah.. .

Jehovah's Witnesses are the only people who don't practice war and who preach worldwide!

by EndofMysteries in

this is what somebody has been telling me, trying to convince me aside from anything one can say or cause reason for doubt, as the evidence that they are the true religion and true people of god.

they are convinced because while 'all other' christian and other religions support war, troops, etc, jw's don't and they are the only one's who carry god's name and preach.

nothing else matters.

bobld

I don't belief in war but why do we have police?

What a sick Org.hides pedophiles(Vatican tried didn't work).Shrouded in secrecy at every level.Is their conscience so seared1 Tim 4:2) that they have no sense of moral right or wrong.To be so cruel and heartless knowing a pedophile is in their mist that they will disfellowship him.However,they will not let the community at large know that there is a pedophile in the area.Only to have that person abuse a helpless child.(sick)

Shoud they not be charged with accessory after the fact/knowledge of a felony.etc.

W/O justice,how is a wronged man-a wounded man-to hea? Hopeful superlawyers who built a cottage industry representing abuse victims in the R.C. will do the same for abuse victims in the J.W. church.

WT asking people to sell and uproot life to help w/ temporary building projects...

by EndofMysteries in

check out the new jan 2015 study wt, article, they offer themselves willingly.

they give examples of young and middle age brothers and sisters who are selling their dream homes, uprooting their lives, etc, to move to help w/ building branches, etc, and how they know it's only temporary but not worried about what happens when they send them home.

they then say will you put jah to the test and see if he won't open the flood gates of blessings for you.

bobld

Why did they not re-call the 3500 bethelites that they let go a few years ago.At least these would be happy to have sustenance and covering(food and shelter) 1ti 6:8.

Oh I forgot they used the best years of these one and gave them the boot.They are very selfish and greedy.

JW.ORG REPORTS THE WATCHTOWER RESPONSE TO EBOLA

by NAVYTOWN in

jw
friends

i just checked the jw.org website and noticed an article about the jw response to ebola.

as i suspected, the entire focus was on alerting and educating jw members about ebola.just like in other disaster situations, the jw organization almost exclusively assists it's own members, ignoring the general public.

it seems their main concern is keeping their members healthy so they can continue to spread the jw message door to door!!!

bobld

It is a sad commentary when the media has to B'Cast that a charitable Org helped non-members in the community.You don't hear or see them B'Cast about other charitable groups like the Red Cross, Sally-Ann,R.C. etc.

December 1,2014 watchtower saying buying house is bad

by hoser in

page 15.

"take for example a christian couple in asia.

in their younger years, they admired those who could afford to own a house.

bobld

Why not give an experience of a family who bought a house 25 years ago.Something like this.

You know WBTS/FDS we bought a house 25 years ago.We have no mortage payments,no stress,no pain,no worries of house or rent payments.Also we can cut down on our work hours.In fact we can save for our retirement.BUT we will not spent any time fooling people with your phony,end time,around the corner paradise bs.

What does semimonthy mean

by bobld in

yes,i know what it means however,the gb of the wbts does not.they said the study edition apears once a month and is not offered to the public.the study edition(has 32 pages) and the public edition(has 16 pages) of the watchtower are not two different magazines.per their wt of jan.15/2008.. on page 2 of their oct.15/2014 public wt they say it is published semimonthy.

page 3 they say nearly 46 million copies of each issue are printed.also their study edition is published semimonthymy understanding, the public issue is on the 1st of the month and the study is on the 15th month only one copy of ea issue.someone please explain the discrepancies.. .

bobld

If I Joe Public receive a watchtower magazine and read on page 2 that it is published semimonthly I expect to receive two watchtowers per month.I have no clue what other magazines the watchtower ORG.publishes or care.

How would you feel if a publisher offered you two magazines per month and only sent you one per month.

This is only one of the many ways the WT ORG.is deceitful.

SEMIMONTHLY watch your spelleng.check your spelling
