My thought on"faith without works is dead"
I always thought works meant to over come your sinful tendencys
because you can have faith but it is meaningless if you are sinful

37Just realized they changed maybe the most important scripture in the bible.
by Crazyguy ini just read the scripture then went and checked in thier older bible and it read the same so i check the greek interlinear and yes they changed john 3:16 .
the verse reads "all who believe in him should not perish but have everlasting life" the cult version says "exercising faith in him might not be destroyed but have everlasting life".. so not only do they say one must exercise faith meaning having to work for it but also they changed should not perish but having everlasting life to might not be destroyed again making a caveat where one does not exist.
just to add to the point verse 18 in both bibles says the one having faith is not judged, totally blowing up thier version of 16 but of course they change 18 to say exercising faith too but it makes little difference, since it says not judged.

Just a little anecdote illustrating how out of touch the typical JW is
by sir82 inthis weeks book study lesson was on martha, the sister of lazarus.
the chapter in the "imitate their faith" book praised her for being "industrious".. the conductor at our congregation meeting was just positively gushing about how "industrious" modern-day jw women are.. he was so exciting, he could barely get the words out.
following is not an exact quote, but conveys the gist:.

-she listened intently on..

However I say her eyes tell you she's horny.

Imitate their faith ch19
Joseph had a dream that King Herod wanted their son(illegitimate child) dead.
They had to leave their homeland right away for Egypt.Mary says,"How could anyone
want to kill her innocent,harmless child?" This plot was designed by Satan using a
star,astrologers,and expensive gifts,such as gold.God foils this plot or should I say failed.
In a short time,Herod dies and Joseph returns to his homeland.This was to fulfill an ancient
prophesy of God's.
NOW: To answer Mary's question.See EX:12:29 where Jehovah God kills the 1st born.
1Sam 15;3 Jehovah kills both man,woman,infant,nursing child.(mind you this was 400 years
after the fact).Those innocent children had nothink to do with an angry God.
THE PLOT:Why didn't Jehovah intervene so that the astrologers would by pass Herod when
they were going to see the child.This would of saved all those innocent harmless children.He
also knew Herod had a short time to live.
Don't get me started on the 12 yr old brat.

45 Minute Bethel Video about Changes (downsizing) at Watchtower
by OnTheWayOut ini don't see this posted elsewhere, and i don't have the links besides this facebook one.. but here is a 45-minute long bethel talk about the changes at bethel including addressing the hard feelings of people who were given the axe.
basically, everything must change.
we gave remaining bethelites saturday off to do our bidding in "the field" and we give bethelites over 70 an extra day a week off (if you can find any such bethelites).

D..Explain,
At one time,the anointed remnant were like"the little one" but their number grew
as other spiritual Israelities brought into God's organization.
So are the FDS aka GB growing in number.

inviting the public to their R.C.
Yet,the watchtower no.2-2016 page 9 says,"The hour came when Jesus,by his sacrificial
death,ended the Jewish system of worship based on the Law of Moses."
So which is it.

-Wealthy elder gives talk about materialism and simplify your life.
-You can take blood fraction but not donate blood.
-Wait for clarification of some idea if you Q it you get DF only to be proven correct later.
EX.IN 2000 in they said "fbs are elderly but some will still be on earth when the
great tribulation begins." That was some batshit that flys would stay away.

Freedom from Religion
by bobld init should be mandatory for s.c.justices,judges and attorneys to take a four year course.
on the history of religion,bible and the koran.iam sure they would conclude that religion.
has little value in society.there would be no such thing as religious accommodation(lawsuits).
