Why do members of this board debate what the W.T. /G.B. meant in their publications when its all going to be changed shortly.

by smiddy in

its just a thought i had,why do we debate over what the wt publications say today when we know all to well that in a year or two they will say something different.. and put it down to new light .. everything charles taze russell said by word of mouth and in print , the so called , first president of the international bible students association (william h. conley was actually the first president ), later to be named the watchtower bible and tract society in his lifetime is discarded .. something like 40 years preaching and teaching throughout the earth , being the chief cornerstone of the foundation of the jehovah`s witness religion / i.b.s.a... nothing he said or preached or wrote about is accepted today by the jehovah`s witness religion as being relevant.. do they say he was wrong ?

no... do they say he was a false prophet ?

no ,... then what do they say about c.t.russell , well they do cherry pick some comments and take them out of context ,like he foretold 40 years beforehand about world war one.

The Watchtower .scrambles. many brains and consciences. It needs exposure. Their past lies and continuing lies need exposure and this sometimes needs references. Many in their process of the unraveling appreciate those who know the double talk and half truths to help them identify these issues. Also, hearing other individuals with this process is helpful. For some of us, it took years, especially when there is the emotional attachment with family still there under WT control.

With the internet and so many sites, many can process this more quickly and others not JWs, can hear the whole story before any WT lies sink in.

Annointed 144k only male?

by JerryTX in

i was told there was new light by a former jw.

i wanted to verify if it was true.

the new light claims the annointed class/144k is always male.

Gayle

GBer are only male. I think majority partakers are females ( I think Fred Franz complained about that long ago). Maybe they are trying to discount them, trying to get that increasing partakers numbers down? Maybe too many more partook this year?

according to a bethelite they started in Florida and New Jersey this month.

these are not the poorest of areas that need financial help. However, probably from real estate projections, the most lucrative for property 'flipping.'

Are there any of these 'new' windowed KH constructions started yet? Any projected dates even of that reality?

Tsongas Center Lowell MA, Sunday Session of the Regional Convention 2015

by oppostate in

we're breaking up the regional convention event by going each of the days to a different weekend session.. the tsongas center lowell ma was a bit hard to find, we got lost and got there after the first song and prayer (just in time for the first talk)!

we ran into so many from our home congregation who aren't even assigned to this rc!.

i think it's quite common for publishers now to break up the convention weekend and attend at times when their congregation isn't assigned.. some families (3) were attending this particular convention so as to meet up with family members who are in another part of the region.

Gayle

Assembly this size is basically 'two' circuits?

Does The Governing Body Have Enemies At Bethel?

by Brokeback Watchtower in

i would think that a lot of resentment is building up for these for these guys at bethel even though it may not be discussed openly for fear of being abused by the gb in some way.. any way looking at their personality and the extreme phoniness of rubber mouth/face lett, and am#3, and the chicken shit coward leosch who won't even show up in court when subpoena'd to defend his faith or policies, and i'm sure they have many more undesirable traits that repel people instead of attract and that has to work its toll on relationships they have at bethel.. and this shunning thing i'm sure must really erk some at god's house and while they may not be free to voice their discontent i feel it must be building because these guys are complete nincompoops when it come to reality and the only way they know how to give direction is with fear and guilt which i'm sure is rubbing a lot of people the wrong way.. and let not forget the issues that are raise when they stole all the congregations savings and the pledge drive for more cash, ban on higher education, lawsuit pay out and etc.... what is this doing to the relation ship they have with legal and accounting i see trouble brewing right thier in the spiritual pair of dice..

Gayle

I had heard some of these voters were not even JWs. I found this so perplexing.

I want to know so much more about this whole mysterious group.

All those years of studying crazies, of type and antitype, scripture gymnastics of 2,520 years, and prophecy, proving false, first fulfillment and second fulfillment junk. And yet we remained ignorant about WT charity status and its workings. Ugh.

I hope this can be a running thread, or another specific thread of this investigation.

hello friends during the weekend i was in the san diego regional convention and the number of baptisim was way down.. there were 51 who got baptise thats the lowest number i ever seen, the attendance was 14,000 plus .

Gayle

thank you antes,, I hope this thread can continue for baptism reporting at these 2015 RCs. Seems with some other RCs reported this summer, that baptisms are very low.

I am wondering about baptisms, are there also "re-baptisms?" Seems there could be a number of young ones baptized, leave JWs,, later returning and stating they really didn't know what they were doing, and request a 're-baptism' now that they have matured and gotten past their wild, worldly stage. ??? anyone know.?
